I mention this in the credits, but for the record: I used some footage from LongplayArchive's Star Fox Assault longplay for this video, since a few parts of the game were kind of laggy and stuttery for me on my computer and my recorded footage suffered a bit for it.

    I have this vivid childhood memory where a wasp crawled into a soda I had while playing outside and stung me on the lip when I tried to drink from it, so I refused to go back outside for the rest of the day and spent it playing Assault instead. Good times.

    I LOVE STAR FOX ASSAULT I LOVE THAT SOMEONE IS TALKING ABOUT IT POSITIVELY. My sister and I both grew up with a gamecube and spent countless hours playing the multiplayer. We made up our own game modes and everything. One where you'd have to hide a landmine somewhere on the map and another where you'd have to race to a certain point or defeat the other person before they got there. The amount of stuff that was hidden behind multiplayer unlocks was CRAZY. Entire maps and characters that were never even seen in the base game. Playable wolf and his whip, peppy, zonness sea base, that desert stage. Fantastic memories. This is absolutely one I'm gonna play with my kids.

    What I love about the cutscene where Pigma dies is that lingering silent shot of Fox's Arwing. With the angle positioned on the idling Arwing, it always registered to me as a kind of devious smile as a kid. Sure, the Star Fox team is embroiled in an alien war where death's happening all around them, but I like to imagine Fox is filled with a quiet, vengeful satisfaction that he finally got the man who sold his father out and directly caused his death. To him, Pigma's not worth wasting any words on, hateful or sympathetic.

    I’ll never forget this game. I beat it in one day as a kid at my nanas house. The queen gave me so much trouble I refused to let my brothers help me. Then I beat her right as my dad came to get me when he got off at work and to my surprise there was a phase two! I coudlent shut it off there and go home! I had to avenge peppy! I looked at my dad and told him” it wasn’t over! That I had to take down the bad guys” and I’ll never forget he just sighed and smiled and sat down on the coutch next me to and told me “go get ‘em son” I shit you not I one shotted the queens 2nd phase. Such a core memory for me.

    @DesignDoc Місяць тому +142

    I will always say this, Star Fox Assault was the right direction for the series to continue in, they just never did and continued to shoot themselves in the foot with every future entry. Yeah the gameplay balance between Arwing and On Foot Missions ain't great, controls aren't ideal especially on foot and the mission variety was lacking overall for such a short campaign but man I still imagine where SF would be now if they simply reiterated and improved on this formula instead of whatever the hell Command and Zero were.

      @legoferrari14 Місяць тому +11

      ​@@Volvagia1927 The problem is that ever since the original SNES title and its accompanying SuperFX Chip, Nintendo treats Star Fox as a glorified tech demo.
      Star Fox 64 showcased advancements in audio technology with a fully-voiced multi-character script.
      Command was focused entirely around Touch Controls with the turn-based strategy elements and everything short of the primary weapons being tied to the touch screen in actual combat.
      Zero was the worst offender with the mandatory gyroscopic aiming and no option to switch to sticks (unlike Splatoon that released *before* SFZ and was a new franchise debut by the way).
      Assault being a more natural continuation instead of being a "WoW! lOoK aT tHiS cOoL nEw CoNsOlE gImMiCk!" Type game was thanks to Assault being handled by Namco and not Nintendo.

    i adore your style of video, where you spent about an hour going through a game in a loosely linear manner and point out little details you find cool while frequently going on long and funny, sometimes angry tangents. it’s not like those videos that are framed as analyses or retrospectives but really just recap and nitpick the fuck out of the story, you just explain why you love some weird shit as the title implies, and it rules. i’d like to make a channel someday and make videos like this about the games that i love. seeing you create this stuff is pretty inspiring, i hope you push through any tough situations irl.

    On the topic of Starlink. I actually genuinely enjoyed that game. The Switch version by default does have a playable Fox and Arwing and the one short side quest, but the real meat of that story is in the separate Starfox DLC pack that adds the rest of the team as playable pilots with their own abilities and a whole separate Starfox campaign that does NOT involve the rest of the Starlink cast. Try it out sometime, if you can get it on sale.

  • @venny1689
    @venny1689 Місяць тому +27

    If you have a switch Starlink is actually worth a try. The Starfox stuff is not a DLC, it's actually in the base game. You can play the entire game as Fox and you'd be surprised at the amount of writing they did for the Starfox cast. It's actually incredibly well researched, as they delved into the origin story for the team from the extended media like the old 90's comics.
    The DLC added Falco, Peppy and Slippy as playable charactes (you can also play as them through the entire game), and it's a free DLC too. Honestly if you like Assault you're very likely to enjoy this game.
    You'll need the real life toy version though, but it's likely dirt cheap because they made way more copies than they could sell.

    I've been wanting to try this out at some point, but I've only played a little bit; pretty jazzed about it now. I do think this franchise has a lot of potential, too, as would any that has a *solar system* instead of just a world; the idea of having several different worlds to explore would allow for so much variety in gameplay, without straying too far from the core. It could be the modern-day equivalent of something like Mario 3, where you blow a magic whistle, ride a tornado into some strange land, try to balance along a precarious walkway, TOTALLY EAT IT, fall for several minutes through what could only be described as Plumbers' Purgatory, sink to the bottom of pitch black water, then pop out a nuclear green waterfall into some underground garden with jazz-cup-ass visuals, leaving you to wonder the next day whether it was even real. Games can get NES Weird again if design just gets clever enough with the framing.
    Also, I love this. Just all of this. The editing gags always get me rolling, and I always wind up rewinding to see what I was laughing too hard to catch! As long as you're doing this, I'll be here.

    you forgot the fact that the Sargasso base level has you switch between Space and foot because your air support requests help at times. a fun fact is that Panther does know what the ladies want as his VA is the same VA for Sergeant Major Avery Johnson from Halo, David Scully. this game was a gift from a coworker along with her used Gamecube for my 25th birthday. i also got Adventures with it.

    I'm one of those rare folks who favors the all-range gameplay over rail-shooting (Starfox 2 is, unsurprisingly, my favorite in the series), so it's nice to see a game like Assault getting some love.
    Starfox was never one of those super-duper beloved series for me growing up, but it really is a shame that we're probably never gonna see another attempt at fleshing the series out beyond "shmup". SF64 is a wonderful game, but I feel like the reverence for it often overrides the reality that the genre just isn't all that popular anymore. There's a lot of potential in the more open-ended-exploration/fast-paced third-person-shooter gameplay - particularly the Walker given its more-versatile nature - but Splatoon also has that base covered nowadays. Kinda, sorta.

    Hey, man, this was a really phenomenal video. I can’t get enough of your stuff, and while I’d happily listen to you talk about anything, I was especially eager to watch this one because I have a pretty similar fondness with Star Fox Assault. I think this game does so much in terms of its story and advancing the series as a whole. I have so much respect for your willingness to open up about your current situation at the end and I am now a proud subscriber to your Patreon. I’m not able to give much, but I know that the money I can give is going to an amazing place. I hope that you’re able to keep doing this for as long as you have the drive and motivation to because you’ve really got something special. No other commentator or reviewer or UA-camr in general is able to bring as much incite, wit, and personality as you, Lute. Keep up the good work!! 🔥

    I can confirm the multiplayer kick ass. We usually play with 3 players instead of 4, but even so there's so much variety with the different weapons, characters, maps, modes, and the vehicles that you can turn on or off. Our favorites matches were:
    - Sniper only in Corneria with jetpacks to get on top of any building and no radar
    - Nikita missile launcher only (you know, the ones you control with the stick) in Sauria, everyone would pick a cave and we would try to get the missiles out the cave and in through those small gaps, you had to be very precise!
    - Just playing in the Zoness map because it reminded us of Kamino from Star Wars!
    Bonus points if you get outside the arwing and try to use a sniper rifle or a missile launcher before the Arwing crashed!
    PS: Metroid Prime 2 Echoes multiplayer was also tons of fun!!!

    I am glad Starfox assault's gotten more positive traction in recent years, I always loved it and never really found things too problematic as a kiddo. And the multiplayer with my brothers was so much fun. I also really liked the parallel between Pigma and General Pepper. Did you know that the Flagship has a 1 shot KO'ing move? I always like to think, that it's because of General Pepper's strong will, that he manages to keep that horrible thing from devouring the entire team.
    He's the opposite of Pigma, and honorable man who's willing to take the fall for the safety of his entire Planet.

    I know you already mentioned how you prefer Krystal's original VA, but I gotta give major props to her Assault VA in a lot of places. The accent isn't great, but she absolutely SELLS the character's performance. Special mention should go to her pained cries for justice on Sauria, her line declaring that the Aparoids won't get away with what they've done to what has ostensibly been her home for a majority of her life is one that's stuck with me for ages. It's such a good line read and I really appreciated the VA's performance in this game for little moments like that.
    This is unquestionably my favorite Star Fox game. Star Fox 64 is a tighter gameplay experience, but you can just feel the potential and style oozing out of this title. Even now, ages after it's initial release, it feels like there's a great and interesting franchise just waiting to burst from the concept and aesthetic of Star Fox Assault, and I hope if Nintendo ever remasters this game it gets the reception and sales it deserves because I genuinely think this style of Star Fox game was on the right track to defining a new era for the franchise.

    As a dude who was blessed with a family of siblings, 4 controllers, and a GameCube, let me tell ya, StarFox Assault _was_ a blast to play 4p split screen.
    What's even cooler is that, much like Melee, you didn't just unlock characters and weapons, but full on stages. You can battle on Corneria and the Aparoid Homeworld, and there even was Zoness as a on foot map, it was dark as heck and you couldn't see anything too lol (I think the planet was stormy was the context)
    What a great video game, always love hearing that other people out there liked it too
    Cheers! 🌻

    Also, StarFox Assault is my favorite game in the series. I'm always happy when someone puts out and says they love it!

      ...The art style is actually the thing that bothers me most about Command. I don't give a damn about the fanfic-level plots, turning them all into chibis _really_ got under my scales, and I'm not going to stop seething about it until they revert their designs. Malus points for tossing Krystal into Smash Ultimate _with her Adventures design_ while the actual fighters are still in full chibi-mode.

    Naw, you don’t get it. Fox just starts fucking shooting up Sargasso for Pigma who isn’t even there. Of course Wolf is gonna be pissed seeing how his men are being slaughtered pointlessly.
    The funniest part about him demanding an apology is that he actually deserves one, but gets his ass kicked again so he never gets it in the end lmao.

    i dont have much experience with the starfox series, but judging from this video only, this game seems awesome! i really liked the story, and how it expanded the star fox universe, which makes it all the more the sad how the next games are almost all rehashes of 64. As always, it's really cool to see your thoughts about this game and how it impacted you. Great video!

    As I played star fox zero on wii u and recently played on emulator, the only part that motions controls are 100% necessary are the tank stages (which is the part i had to stop playing on emulator), there's very small parts were we have to look at the gamepad but there's literally a button to instantly send the gamepad image to tv and vice versa, would be so easy for Nintendo to just add normal controls and change literally nothing else and sell the game for 60 like they love to do, one of the easiest moneys they could make, but no for some reason.
    Also Star Fox Assault is freaking AWESOME!! Glad to see videos like that praising it like it deserves.

    • @kurokamina8429
      @kurokamina8429 Місяць тому +1

      Honestly the motion controls just straight up fixed the landmaster for me. In 64 your aim was negatively impacted by the terrain the landmaster was driving on but now that you can aim independently in zero, it really saves the vehicle for me.

    • @NenowMeow
      @NenowMeow Місяць тому

      @@kurokamina8429 I do agree with that actually, also with the motion controls in general, they are super good to use and precise, the fact you can shoot in any direction and place on the screen while moving your vehicle feels really great!
      My actual point there is that I played it fully without motion controls on emulator up until landmaster, because we can't aim with it, only with motion, which is a thing I can't emulate properly, sadly.

    In Starlink: Battle for Atlas as you play with Fox you can summon the rest of the Star Fox team. Corneria's theme will play in the background as the team members annihilate everything in their path. It really cool. Also you can play as Fox during the whole campaign, so it kinda feels like a Star Fox game in a way. Exploring Atlas with the Arwing is awesome. There are some bits of interesting lore in the game too, like Fox mentioning Papetoon, his home planet. Cool stuff.
