BEFORE I BEGIN: This post will not help you in locating the rom. Although this game was never released it still applies to the TOS rules. For the record I have never touched or played said pirated software.

Now that we have that out of the way let's start. A rom-hacking group by the name of Aeon Genesis have succesfully translated the beta release of this game and even went so far as to remove the non-functional parts and the debug options making it appear to be a finished product. While I don't understand the specifics of why they cancelled this game, the sequel had a lot of awesome stuff and it looked like it was coming along fine. I still remember the magazine articles about the game, it looked stellar. Sadly it was "put on hold" indefinitely and thus a legend in emulation was born.

I suppose providing a link to Aeon Genesis' website is against the TOS since they give impressions of pirated software. If any mod can "ok" this then I'll go ahead and provide the links.

Maybe Nintendo will put it on a Starfox bonus disc when Starfox eventually comes out for the GC (the shooter one, not Rare's Dinosaur Adventures)

 

[Kon Tiki]

I think you can give a link to the ips.

 

[cvxfreak]

That would be nice, but I think Nintendo would rather put it on GBA. Star Fox 2 isn't bonus disc material. X_X

They should retool the game to work on the GBA. Actually I'm a bit suprised that the original was never released either. Maybe an upgraded DS port with both games? Who knows.

Nintendo needs to port StarFox 2 to the GBA or NintendooDS

Giving links to the patch is not illegal.

Now if it had the rom on the page then.....

Here's the link to the IPS patch:

Here's a link to a newpost regarding the translation:

Again I'm hesitant considering the specific nature of the TOS. Don't ban me!

 

[Sho Nuff]

Is this game actually fun?

 

[Ecrofirt]

THe game never came out for a reason:

It sucks. The control is terrible.

 

[Marty Chinn]

Star Fox 2 is awesome. It's too bad none of the roms out there work properly. You can't appreciate how good it is unless you get a working version.

 

[Tritroid]

I thought Starfox 2 basically evolved into Starfox 64 though?

 

[Vormund]

Some elements made it into SF64, but SF2 is very much it's own game, a proper sequel to StarFox.

Yes please, I'll take Star Fox 1+2 DS.

IAWTP, although Lylat Wars/Star Fox 64 is





-SB

 

[Vormund]

If StarFox 1 and 2 is released for DS, I'll get one.

It'll work well for 2 especially, bottom screen for map.

I played it while testing FX Fighter at Argonaut

It later became Vortex I believe. Well, it looked shockingly similar anyway. I remember not liking the tank section of the game (in Starfox 2).

This thread just got me thinking about the GC Star Fox. I wonder when we'll get more information about it. We've seen almost nothing of the single player game (which I'm mostly interested in).

I need a new rail shooter after playing PDO to death.

How was FX fighter shaping up? pity the SNES version got canned.

Also Vortex is seperate to StarFox2, which was solely done by Nintendo. Vortex was also called Citadel at one point.

 

[shuri]

Oh god, yes, give us some fxfighter info

 

[jarrod]

How many FX1/2 chipped SNES games were there?

-Star Fox (Nintendo/Argonaut)
-Stunt Race FX (Nintendo)
-Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island (Nintendo)
-Doom (Willaims)
-Dirt Trax FX (Acclaim/Argonaut)
-Vortex (Electro Brain/Argonaut)
-Winter Gold (Nintendo/Funcom)

-Star Fox 2 (Nintendo)
-FX Fighter (Nintendo/GTE/Argonaut)
-Commanche (Nintendo/Novalogic)

...anything else?

 

[Mejilan]

I had FX Fighter for the PC. It was a g-dawful game. I imagine the SNES version would have both looked and ran worse, and that's why it was cancelled.

 

[belgurdo]

I wonder what games would have looked like in 1994-1999 had the Playstation remained an add-on device for the SNES
