It depends, an arcade style game like SF64 can have a ton of replay value. For me i will get many many hours replaying this game but if that's not your thing it probably is hard to justify the purchase.

I don't know what this "Starfox 64" stuff is all about but i'm looking forward to Lylat Wars 3D! oh yeah.
Now I have to decide whether or not I let Falco live in the first stage, I can't get my favourite boss line in the asteroid field with him alive....

Flying through the arcs with Falco alive is the only way to reach sector Y to my knowledge.
If Falco is present he interjects and I just can't have that, my experience just wont be right I tell you.

I hope I'm not the only one, but as a kid I absolutely loved this art to death:
Does anybody have any others to post in that vein? This really grabbed my imagination.

I was so psyched for StarFox 64 back in the day (I blame the video), but never got around to getting it.
So I'll probably check this out. I have a gift card for Best Buy so I could grab this for $15 or so.

Never noticed Falco's thumbs up pose in that Starfox/Starwing artwork until now, who is he giving that thumbs up to?

Here, have this:
Nice!
If you have the rest of it, I can post it in the OP with the others.

Great to see the heads in the ship to be so well detailed. It was amazing in the N64 game.

When you say the soundtrack is pretty much untouched are we talking like OoT3D style where the game is outright emulating the N64 originals as close as it can? or is is just similar sounding because I would really enjoy a boost in the music quality on the whole, if you get what i'm saying.VOOK said:
Nocturnowl said:
To me it sounds basically the same, through the speakers its a bit less pronounced than on a TV but with headphones it sounds so good. I honestly can't tell the difference between them though, I don't think they've tweaked the tracks much if at all.

Seems like a bit of a missed opportunity to upgrade the quality but oh well, at least the soundtrack is a stellar one to begin with, thanks for the answer.VOOK said:
The soundtrack is very different to me.
It's the same songs, but the sound very different because they use different instruments (the new instruments are of higher quality, but the make the music sound weaker). Combined with the new voice acting, the whole game sounds different.

It's just 4 player. To answer the other question about soundtracks, it's the same music but redone on new synths. Some tracks are very noticably different, some are almost identical - all are awesome.
I've got 100% of the medals on 3DS mode and N64 mode and am now going in on Expert.
To repost my initial impressions as they were lost in yesterday's OT-war:
APZonerunner said:
Just 4 player, as in I can't do a one on one? There is no team match up? It's as basic as it gets?
Seems like in 1/8th the time it would take to make a multiplayer level, they could program simple team functions, enemy difficulty, and capture the flag mode. Imagine horde mode with a friend?
The co-op possibilities of starfox are so huge and so grossly untapped....

Sorry, what I meant was - it's just deathmatch. No team options, as far as I can see. It's the same N64 multiplayer options. The game is download play only - you can't play with two carts, the second player has to download instead.
There's survival, point battle and time battle. You can do it with up to 4 people. No team options, only free for all. You can also play against 3 CPUs and set their difficulty if you want.
The multiplayer options are spartan, but it's clearly not what they wanted to focus on with this version of the game - a lot of effort has been put in other areas.

I have not been keeping up with the news regarding this game even though I have it pre-ordered. I thought there was supposed to be online? When was is it confirmed to be removed?

It was never in. Nintendo's marketing messaging has been terrible, though, as despite it clearly not being a big development focus they're showing lots of footage of people playing local multiplayer.

I've been hearing this from previews, I can be really wrong though since it was a while ago.balladofwindfishes said:
EDIT: If you guys want, I'll look for said previews. I hope I'm not wrong since I have a faulty memory.
EDIT2: I keep stumbling across people saying they're using the original VAs for the remake, is this actually true?

This will be a fantastic...rent. Can't wait to play through the story mode -- probably at least a handful of times -- as well as tinker with the bots. But without online multiplayer, I know I'll grow old of it after a week. No complaints; just not a buy for me, personally. But it looks amazing. Looks like they actually did a better job with the visual effects on this than OoT.
GeekyDad said:
Nintendo is on record saying that Ocarina didn't receive an entire overhaul in terms of graphics, and sound because they wanted to maintain much of the original's nostalgia. I'm not sure I prefer it, but the game came out looking decent.
StarFox 64 3D looks like they spent a lot of time updating its features in total, and I would find it tough to believe it won't be the best looking 3DS game until Super Mario 3D Land hits.
