You will not unlock Expert mode in 3 hours, no way, no how.
I'd guess that it would take the average person at least 6-8 hours before you end up unlocking Expert Mode (and then getting all the medals again in Expert mode will take plenty of time too!)
You can really play the game forever though. 15 years on and I still find myself busting out the N64/VC original!

Yeah but from that perspective you can play every game forever....I mean I could play Steel Diver forever to beat my own highscores but I don't want to because it's totally boring

I will say this that Star Fox 64 is such a good game that it is fun for replays. I have played the game at least 15 times, and I only found 2 alternative paths. The game is short, but it has content and its replay value is huge. It is one of the few games that can be fun to replay a lot of times. At least they made multiplayer much better this time around.

Yeah, okay sounds good to me but MP is non-exsistent for me because no one of my friends own a 3DS.storafötter said:

Ahh, memories of trying to take the Meteo secret warp while playing in 1st person cockpit view. So beautifully impossible!

The whole its 3 hours long is like how Pilotwings is 3 hours long. Getting all Gold (or is it Platinum now) medels will take a lot longer but if you're not into that sort of record breaking thing then yeah, it being 3 hours lnog would be a fair statement.
Gee, can anyone take of it?
But like Chrono Trigger DS you could still get the original version off the Wii Virtual Console and besides this version is for new fans (else Starfox is going into retirement).

This re-localisation is reminding me of Chrono Trigger DS with its whole "let's make a big deal (PR-wise) about good morning crono, then not include the line in the game*" and similarly including most the iconic lines but others getting changes for..??? How else can you explain "Hey Einstein, I'm on your side" being replaced with "Hey genius, I'm on your side" (it was at E3) . Or maybe they think people won't know who Albert Einstein is or more likely is that the localiser thought it was weird that Albert Einstien is known of in the Lylat System.Billychu said:

Thanks for the responses explaining the game. Still can't bring myself to get it just do the length. Had this been at launch when I was willing to buy almost anything regardless of the length or if I had fond memories of the original it might be another story. I do hope everyone that gets it has a ton of fun with it though.
Okay Guys, I never played the original, I'm quite interested but I have a few questions.
- The voices have been remade for this version, are the original voices still in ?
- How long is the game for one playthrough ?
- is the score attack mode playing the same missions than story mode or special challenges ?

A single playthrough (one path from Corneria to Venom) on the N64 version was about the same length as your average animated movie (perhaps shorter). The 3DS version should be about the same.
However, the game is insanely re-playable, you may get countless hours from it.

The thing is, if youve never played the game (im talking about the people who have said they havent palyed the game, not you :lol) and you get by chance to solar, you are probably going to die there and start over again (playing the N64 mode, the 3ds mode doesnt take life if you are high enough)

They have tweaked things for people beggining, so yeah, its easier. Also the controls (but I think that can be changed again when you enter the menu to play with 3DS controls in 64 mode, that means they changed the place of some buttons).
The things is, you need to get now the medals of 3ds version and 64 version, becuase they are two different modes, to get 100% of the game, and then the unlock of both expert modes.

Well you can only play 64 mode if you want, no one is obligating you to get all the meadls for both.
If you get all the medals for 64 you get expert mode for that version, so you dont need to beat 3ds version also.

I wish they included Star Fox 2 in this.

It would have released on Sept. 11th had they kept it to Sunday. It would have been in very poor taste, considering the first level I believe, on the 10th anniversary. Why no one at Nintendo realized this from the start (they are suppose to have an American branch in NoA) before changing the date is just another thing wrong with them. Ugh. It took them to long as well I feel before changing that date. As soon as the Sunday release date was announced talk about how it wouldn't be a good idea took place immediately. Then it took a few weeks I think for them to change it.

Does SF 3DS share any of the same unlockables as its N64 original? I'm guessing tanks and on-foot are out of the question for multiplayer?

This is Nintendo, the one who puts three warning screens before playing a game, and the one who told their costumers that 3D was bad for your eyes, when actual Optometrists publicly contradicted them saying it wasn't. They just don't want to be sued.
Besides, it's the 10th Anniversary, not 4 days after the 9th.

Part of me wonders if a bigger reason might just be Nintendo expecting this Sunday to not be a very big sales day because of the anniversary. Maybe they think people wont be in a mood to shop.

That makes the assumption at the results analysis tool is actually able to see the rest of the account info. The fact it asks "have you played a previous entry..." for games with no previous entries makes me think the system as a whole isn't that smart.levious said:
A pleasant surprise, getting Amazon's shipping confirmation! I totally killed the N64 original; all medals in both normal and expert modes, all unlockables. I look forward to doing that again during my long daily commutes and upcoming vacation. I thought this wasn't due until late this month...
