- In today's episode, it's another Nintendo 64 classic, Star Fox 64! But I've never really fully played this until now, so how do I think it holds up?
Check out my Social Media pages for updates and other...things!

"Who has ever heard of series that rebooted itself after just one title?"
For a more recent answer, Mirrors Edge
Star Fox is the only game series I know that rebooted itself 3 times.
XD ive seen you in so many video comment section.
When was the second?
There were "only" two reboots - 64 and Zero.
Fruks
I count the remake as a reboot. I know it really isn't, but my brain thought that's the right thing to say.
Nurse Valentine
Still wrong. ;) A remake is a remake, not a reboot.
Lmao, that commercial in the beginning was shitpost gold.
Attention: Star Fox 64 3D is now a Nintendo Select, meaning it's now $20
Great review. And I got that corny Nintendo movie delivered to me in the mail via my Nintendo Power subscription. I still have the original VHS!
Hi ryukarh
"Not a big fan of gyro controls.." Oh, I can't wait for you to get to Star Fox Zero! :D
hes gonna trash this game for being 64 but worse lol.
They work better in Zero than in N64, though.
Adelbert Steiner That's a given to most gamers because were used to dual analogue which ironically was heavily criticized back when it was starting to be used in consoles/game controls.
Ikr? As soon as he said that, I just thought to myself, "Welp. That game is fucked."
Star Fox Zero was pretty disappointing in my opinion.
Star Fox 64
Where are the reviews of
Star Fox;
3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32,33,34,35,36,37,38,39,40,41,42,43,44,45,46,47,48,49,50,51,52,53,54,55,56,57,58,59,60,61,62 and 63?
They were tossed to the Shadow Realm.
You forgot the 3D versions.
that's a lot of work for a 5/10 joke :p
Man, Star Fox 37 was intense.
Got to admire the dedication to type out 61 numbers for the joke 😂
"Whoever heard of a series that rebooted itself after just one title?"
Mirror's Edge and now Prey
I USED THE BOOST TO LIKE THIS VIDEO, BUT NOT TO GET THROUGH THIS VIDEO.

The true final boss is only accessible on Hard. Just thought it's worth mentioning.
Yeah in the hard path you can only face brain Andross there.
To this day I still don't get the Easy mode final boss. Is it like a fake Andross? Was the whole base a big mind trick? Seriously I really don't get the whole Robot Andross thing!
It's a decoy. The credits make this somewhat clear. Since instead of showing "The End". It shows Andross' face laughing at you. Implying he's still alive.
_Data_Drain_ I only remember seeing that once. Every other time I beaten it, it always showed "The End" regardless what difficulty I took. Maybe I am just remembering it wrong.
You absolutely have to fight Andross' brain by coming in from Area 6 in order to get the true ending. Beating Robot Andross automates the entire escape sequence, the brain one (you clearly fight in all range mode) makes YOU have to escape yourself by following Fox's father out.
Where's the obligatory "Do a barrel roll" comments?
Do a barrel roll!
Hopefully it died, with no survivors, in the early 2000s.
Do a complete rotation on both your longitudinal and lateral axes that causes you follow a helical path!
...*Sips tea.*
Do an aileron roll... ups sorry i said it wrong... or did i? dun dun duuuuuun
arkbuble *Dramatic Reverb!*
I feel that militaristic music fits star fox quite well considering the context of the story and lore. Fox and his friends are soldiers for hire
Dude, you're one of the most honest and entertaining reviewers out there. You just earned another subscriber. :)
the sound track of starfox 64 will forever be ingrained in my mind with happiness and nostalgia.
"Like moving with the circle pad feels silky smooth"
(Flies directly into Andross braintacles)
Still waiting for dat huniepop review
You can keep waiting.
...is your profile picture a sprite edit of Danganronpa's Nagito Komaeda to make him look like N or am I seeing things. Because I know that pose...
Considering the bagels, I'd say yes.
He said if he gets SOOOOO many requests he will. I'd love to see him review it though
probably not until after the Star fox marathon
Thank you, Johnny, for acknowledging the superior soundtrack from StarFox on SNES. It's hard to find people that agree.
I know I’m 6 years late to this comment, but I feel the SNES Version’s OST is THE BEST!
(Gotta Love the Corneria, Asteroid, and Armada themes the most😁)
Don't worry about the Star Fox 64 3D physical copy prices guys, it's already been reprinted as a "Nintendo Select" title for a MUCH cheaper price in Europe now, but for my fellow Americans, just wait and hope the reprint hits our shores very soon...
or if Star Fox 64 hits the US eShop, whichever comes first
...unless you already have an original print 3DS copy or an N64 copy
Dammit I should not have traded my copy of Star Fox 64 3DS for another game! Is that game really rare to find? I mean Star Fox 64 3D cant be that good to the point where its practically sold out!
+Mike Anthony It's been in print till 2014-ish I think plus it was bound to be out of print sometime since it wasn't a big major release like Mario, Smash Bros, or Pokemon, which will ALWAYS be printed to the end of a consoles lifespan, but why it's price skyrocketed to wallet-incinerating prices, I'll never know but i'm still hoping for a U.S. Nintendo Selects reprint very soon, I mean Ocarina of Time 3D got a reprint and that game was rare as shit before that, so why not reprint Star Fox 64 3D too? (at least for us americans)
neneg813 I am American as well! Thank god I never sold my copy of Ocarina Of Time 3D!
+Mike Anthony With the next batch of Nintendo Selects coming later this month, we'll eventually get a second chance to buy a physical copy of Star Fox 64 3D that doesn't cost an arm and a leg
neneg813 Its weird since I got tired of the game, so to see it cost so darn much today is really shocking to me!
Hunnie pop is practically a Star Fox game, I hope its at the end of this marathon
You are shooting something ,alright.
Well, Hunie Pop does have a neko girl, which fits in nicely with the... Furry-ness of Star Fox.
Yeah... Oh God! thanks for putting... images in my head.
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Huniepop is honestly my favorite Star Fox game.
I love this game so much. So much action, great dialogue too
This game was THE hotness back in '97. Great OST and highly replayable
Anyone else really enjoy the music in Star Fox 64 and most Star Fox games in general?
ASMR Gaming News area 6, corneria, and fichina are the only ones I find memorable
Star Fox Assault has one of my favorite soundtracks in any video game.
This is definitely one of my favorite reviews from you Johnny. Keep up the high quality work. =)
It's 12pm where I live and watching this before I sleep is gonna be great.
+Todd S. (ChewtAg) my thoughts exactly.
You go to sleep at noon?
I think he means 12am.
+Matthew Pszyk oh shit I got my pm's and am's mixed up
Sorry :/
No problem.
Holy shit, I didn't know Stefan Molyneux did Nintendo commercials before becoming a cult leader!
what the fuck... REALLY!?
Who?
Hidden Flare My question precisely.
This was my introduction to the series and it still holds up as one of the best Nintendo 64 games. This is the one game where I can recite quotes by memory with no problem. Its scary on levels such as Corneria.
"Hey Einstein, I'm on your side!"
So Einstein exists in the Star Fox universe?
That commercial is one of the greatest things I’ve ever seen
in my opinion, this is the best game on the N64. Most people I know tend to say that Ocarina of Time or Goldeneye is the best game but it's hard to deny that those games have aged. Star fox 64 has not on the other hand and I believe that if a game can stand the test of time, then it must be something special and Star Fox 64 is something truly special. One of my all time favorite games and one of my examples of a perfect game.
my 64 gem is always gonna be DK64
agreed!!
I'd agree that Goldeneye has certainly aged (that single control-stick style has certainly aged since the invention of dual analog sticks), but I'd deny (largely) that OoT has aged poorly. It's still a great adventure and an amazing formula that was used up til Skyward Sword.
EpicOdysseus Yes, OoT's formula is still used today but just because that fact is true doesn't mean OoT does it the best. Just about every other 3D Zelda game that has come out in the years since OoT uses the formula to greater effect and in general just plays better. Hence why I say OoT has aged. When they remade it for the 3DS, they actually did have to do a lot of tweeking to make it easier to play. They had to tighten up the controls (though I found it a little harder to play with the Joy Pad) and they had to change some of the graphics around, particularly in the Water Temple so it was less frustrating to play on top of adding some new things to the interface for the sake of convince. Then look at the 3DS remake of Starfox 64. Very little was changed apart from the graphics and the reason for that is that nothing needed to be changed. And I know some people will say that Star Fox 64 is a much simpler game but that's part of the reason why it has aged so well. It kept things simple, kept in mind what the hardware could do well and focused on making the game fun above all else. OoT was just a little too abishous for it's time and has thus suffered from age.
if goldeneye is the best game, then thats a console I'd say away from
I'd personally give that title to paper mario
It certainly has stood the test of time. Still very enjoyable even today like Mario Kart 64.
Congrats on being the first person to actually successfully persuade me to give it a go, hope it's as good as you've made it out to be. It probably is, since, yknow, it's so huge in the gaming community.
A series they rebooted itself after just one title? My first thought is Prey.
About the soundtrack, I’ve never played a single Star Fox game, but I know the theme from Zoness very well and i freaking love it. I first encountered it in an old custom Zelda quest someone made for the Zelda Classic fan-made Zelda game maker probably about 15 years ago and was like, “What song is this?! This is amazing!” I’ve never forgotten it
My favorite UA-camr reviewing my favorite video game of all time? Have I already died and gone to heaven?
comments: Oh, man, I can't wait till he tears Adventures/Zero a new asshole! he's gonna be SO pissed at it!!
me: um... I'm not gonna say that I know Johnny personally, but for all the reviews I've seen him do, I haven't seen him flat out give an angry review. think about this. when Mighty No 9 came out, there were reviews left and right going "fuck this game! we were robbed!!" where Johnny said things he liked about the game. he even brought up points that literally no one ever mentions
+jrpludacrous have you seen his sonic genesis review? Lmao
His Shadow the Hedgehog review was pretty angry.
Johnny's Sonic 06 review.
Things I predict Johnny will do for Star Fox Adventures Compare it to Banjo Kazooie , compare it to Zelda , probly compare it to Jak and daxter or ratchet and clank.
don't you mean his review of Starfox: Dinosaur feeding simulator, and Starfox: without an AR-Wing
Man, those old Nintendo Power promos rule so damn hard. I watched the DK64/Jet Force Gemini tape so many times that it just gave up eventually.
" Not only is the animation incredibly smooth, but every polygonal building and ship is finely detailed. " GameSpot. Written on May 1, 1997. 00:00 AM.
R.I.P. Rick May.
Star Fox 64 will always be my favorite game of all time
Nice choice
Agreed. It doesn't take a lot out of me to play like some games or RPGs
One of mine too. Still get a thrill of playing this on my 3DS every once in a while.
Mine is Chrono Trigger, but my second is Super Metroid (tied with FF6).
Play Assault then say that.
Johnny great review as always! I watch your videos non stop whether it's SGB or BSC they're a pleasure to watch and I find you to be one of the best channels on here. Really looking forward to all your other reviews.
Woke up this morning and realized i missed the first episode of the star fox marathon, watched half of it and went to work. Watched the other half, looked at my UA-cam feed and Johnny had just uploaded the next one. Heck yea
calling it now, johnny gonna hate star fox adventures.
He will be really surprised at the random shift to a completely different gameplay style! XD
It wasn't even made to be a star fox game at first, look up Dinosaur Planet for N64
LuigiHero Still that doesn't mean they should slap on Star Fox on it.
Truth be told, they did it because they didn't want another Bad Fur Day to happen. Not saying that it was a bad game, just how Nintendo treated Rare....changed after BFD. I can't be the only one that thinks that either, since Nintendo clearly could of kept Rare if they wanted to.
I'm going to predict that the genre switch will bother him, but overall he'll think it's alright. Not terrible, not good, just okay.
Stairfax Temperatures!
excited the most for the next one, and the ones to come after. Damn tease at the end!
This game is the reason I love Star Fox. I have put in so much hours into this game. I didn't get all the planet medals but I went through all the trails. I never played the other games but as a fan I will get to the others at some point.
Starfox Adventures is pretty decent as an adventure game, just that everyone hates it cause it's not Starfox.
Jontron didn't help either due to all the menial shit he points out that is more of nitpicking than an actual criticism.
*unintelligible gibberish* GENERAL SCALES!
I agree with you. Adventures is a pretty damn good game. It's just not a "Star Fox" game.
Yeah while the Starfox Adventures and Nuts & Bolts reviews had funny moments they're my least favorite reviews of his cause he hated them for being so different. And yes I actually liked Nuts & Bolts. Is it as good as the first two Banjo-Kazooie games? Hell no. But at least the humor and charm is still there.
Jay M Saying someone hates something because it's different is a pretty bad excuse. Also Jon never said he hated those games.... Jontron is a character that exaggerates things, they aren't honest reviews.
Well true you make a good point.
R.I.P Rick May
I remember watching that Nintendo Power video all the time back in the day!
Hey Jonny loving the marathon keep up the good work
Jesus I forgot about that yoshi commercial where the guy blew up.
That Nintendo commercial was so cringe worthy
To be fair a lot of 90 commercials were cringeworthy.
Genesis does, Jaguar do the math, those awful 3DO and CD-i ads, the Saturn slagging off the PS1, bunch of terrible ads back then.
That was back when Nintendo were trying to be edgy with their advertisements to combat against SEGA. The 90s were probably the most cringe inducing times for advertising in general.
Great work Johnny! I look forward to the next one!
Johnny it's one of the few people that have never fully experienced this game, not counting that time that he saw it in action on the BSC commentary. On the other hand, there is people that had played it to death, and, much like me, have learned every single dialog on this game, It is amazing to watch a review of someone fresh and new to this version. Thanks Johnny! And yeah, good luck with Adventures, I like the game but certainly it's not for everyone.
I'm early better make a joke
The Sonic fanbase
good one
I got another one the steven universe fanbase
Here's another one: the Sonic hatedom.
+Masked Chespin Immediately liked.
That's not funny, that's just sad. You wanna hear a real joke? SEGA in general.
Game series that rebooted after just one game (if you can think of any others, tell me and I'll add them):
_Mirror's Edge_.
_Final Fantasy_.
_Prey_.
Final Fantasy doesn't really have any overarching narratives though. Every game is in a unique setting with unique characters and a unique history. When it's baked into the series core essence, I don't think it's right to call it a reboot.
I remember those Rumble Pack Commercials! Such Nostalgia....
If I can have a moment to brag, you get expert mode for getting all the medals and playing the game in expert mode gets Fox some sweet shades like a certain someone; also you get an alternate title screen for getting all the medals in expert mode.
This game was my jam. Played the shit out of it every chance I got when I was growing up. Still plug in the Nintendo 64 from time to time just to play this game.
1:00 I wish video game commercials were still like this, it is SO funny!
Mirror's edge was a series that rebooted itself after one game...
I thought it was prequel.
+dbzsonic1069 Nope reboot...I know its wierd
+Derp Mcderpinton I consider it a reboot because there are certain story elements in Catalyst that would make no sense whatsoever if it was a prequel to the original. For example, Noah is not Merc. Also, Cat playes a similar role in both games, but they are different because the original Cat was raised by her father, and the Catalyst Cat was raised by Kruger because Cat's father was killed alongside the mother.
+Derp Mcderpinton hello fellow Derp!
Herp Derp
Ahoy
Something tells me that this marathon isn't going to be very long......
Well, until we get to Command anyways.
Oh shit, I forgot about Adventures.
There's still Adventures, Assault, Command, Zero, and Guard left.
Zero and Guard will probably be one video. They were packaged together and Guard is just a tower defense game.
The reason I said the marathon would be short is because most of the Star Fox games are really short. I honestly forgot about Adventures and Command is going to take forever in order to get all the endings.
This game I have spent so much time on playing it alone and having a blast in the process. So many childhood memories playing this beloved classic and eventually buying it on the Virtual Console and 100% the game entirely, including the infamous Expert Mode. Which by the way John, if you thought Level 3 in the original Star Fox was bad, Expert Mode can and will put you to the test. Trust me. I've done it before and it is insane.
And now, time for some Star Fox Fun Facts and Lore!
1. The reason why Fox knows Bill in the first place is that Fox and Bill used to be in a Military Academy long before the events of SF64. It wasn't until after Fox received word from Peppy that he and his father, James McCloud, had been betrayed by Pigma and James was captured (then most likely proceeded to be tortured to death) by Andross. It was at that point that Fox would go on to create a new Star Fox team to not only honor his father's legacy, but to take Andross down.
2. As for why Falco and Katt know each other us because Falco used to be part of a gang with Katt. This is explored a little further in the Star Fox manga. Yes, there is in fact an official Star Fox manga. It bridges the gap between the events of SF64 and Adventures, which also explains a certain event at the end of Adventures. I recommend giving it a read, it's some good stuff.
Though Falco being part of a gang before joining the Star Fox team does explain why he can be a jerk sometimes.
3. There is a surprising amount of background detail in certain areas of the game. For example, the planet Zoness used to be a galactic tropical resort and the birth world of Falco. Of course, Andross' forces invaded Zoness and made it a toxic waste dump. You can imagine how hurt the bird was about his once great home being turned to crap.
4. In the European version of Star Fox 64, Lylat Wars, there was an extra voice option added called Lyatian. This voice option helped mimic the SNES voices if anyone was curious enough to hear it.
5. Gaining all of the Score Attack medals in the normal game, aside from unlocking the infamous Expert Mode, also netted players the ability to use the Landmaster in multiplayer and to those who were brave enough to net all of the medals in Expert Mode (like me) you will gain the ability to on foot in multiplayer as well.
God bless you Johnny!!! Whenever you put out a video It always puts a smile on my face.
"Who ever heard of a series that rebooted after just one game?"
*points in Mirror's Edge's general direction*
You see this Nintendo? WE JUST WANT MORE OF THIS! WE DON'T WANT YOUR AWFUL CONTROLS AND SUDDEN GAMEPLAY SHIFTS!
Rareware made Star Fox Adventures and Platinum Games made Star Fox Zero.
Namco made Star Fox Assault.
Nintendo and Platinum were practically in the same room during development, they're both at blame since they're both the kings of non-customizable controls.
Oh god, not this bloke again.
I love the GamePad ;~;
I think this is one of Johnny's best videos
the more reviews I watch by this guy the more I enjoy.
PLEASE JOHNNY, PLEASE don't hate Star Fox Adventures. It's like, the cornerstone of mah childhood. I know now it's not really a "Star Fox" game, but it's still a damn good game.
Johnny has limited experience with these games and is probably one of the most fair reviewers there are.
If they kept the game as "Dinosaur Planet" as originally planned, most positive it wouldn't get as much hate as it currenrly deserves.
I get why it is hated but the fact that nothing about it is really bad in anyway really makes me feel that people are just far too nitpicky and have too much fun ruining a game that even if it had not started out as the game it became was still an excellent game. It was a lot of fun. It actually gave fucking birth to a series instead of just reboots.
It gave birth to Star Fox Assault and Star Fox Command
"Johnny, please don't have your own opinion!"
For any other smart alecks laughing at the gyro controls bit because of Zero, *Johnny says he didn't like it controlling both the ship AND aiming.*
Guess what Star Fox Zero FIXED for that complaint?
Think you might be laying it on thick?
KidSnivy69 I've seen at least half a dozen comments trying to be funny with the gyro control foreshadowing and it's just not funny when it's not true.
UltimaKeyMaster I'm just saying it doesn't seem like a big deal
I look forward to these reviews John. Keep up the good work
When I did my Let's Play of this game, I took the time to look up a couple of wiki sources for background information on planets and characters. Turns out there is a lot more explained on them, like how Katt and Falco were part of a gang and Katt even had a crush on Falco.
Metroid Zero is a reboot after only 2 game releases, I mean there was fusion and super metroid and the return of samus, but since zero came out around zero, its almost the same.
5 releases, actually.
Spearmint Pony KAY
Didn't know you watched John.
thats kinda confusin lol"since zero came out around zero" but i dont think their were 5^ super metroid, return of samus, and fusion? n pretty sure prime wasnt our before zero mission lol
glad i seen ur comment tho. never heard of ya. like ur stuff
Doesn't really like Gyro Controls....
Wait till Zero Johnny
Can't let you skip reviewing these games, Somecallmejohnny!
Fletcher Reed can't let you use that joke ludwig
+The Great Arceus Can't let you make that comment, Arceus
Starfox 64 was indeed the highest peak for the Starfox Series,. Starfox Zero tries to do that, but it has a LOT of things that hold it back.
But what about star fox 3-63?
star fox the series where half the games tell the same series
Yeah, If your looking for a deep plot in Star Fox, it's best to look somewhere else!
Spidertendo 64 or really any nintendo series
Ben Sell true
EH, Zelda at least has tried to tell variations, even if it's very samey in the end.
I don't know how Fire Emblem manages to be so repetitious though. It has different characters, nations and villains, but so many tropes get repeated there seems to be a copy paste factor there.
+VladNorris
like any JRPG ever. Oh and Castlevania.
YOOOO! I remember that Nintendo Power promo VHS! I got it in the mail the summer after 2nd Grade. lol The acting was AMAZING.
Lol, I had that VHS tape as a kid. Nintendo actually mailed out several tapes like that, and they were all awesome (though the Star Fox one was probably the best), and they were really effective ways to get you hyped up for upcoming games in a pre-internet era.
Am I the only one who likes Star Fox Adventures and Assault?
i like assault never beat it though. obviously changed the controls and stuff. i mean i had to do it no biggie.
I haven't played SF adventures, but SF assault was my first Star Fox game and I enjoyed it for the time that I played it.
No, I like those games too, especially Star Fox Assault
I've never played Adventures but man I love Assult. It's so underrated and gets bashed for no reason. Yea it's not 64 but to say it's bad is just flat out wrong.
I loved Adventures! Haven't played Assault in a long time though
Am I the only one here who DOESN'T hate Slippy?
probably.
Nope, I love Slippy. He's my favorite :).
+iownalx23 And guy I love your profile pic but shut up |:(.
nope, he's my favourite from the entire series...
+Dracul JOSHI Same :).
Just a quick note Johnny: Getting all the medals is not just bragging rights, as it also unlocks the REAL Hard Mode of the game, and OH DAMN it's SO MUCH FUN to play in Expert mode.
Trim Prism damage is increased and wings break faster, right?
I’m one or two badges away from Expert mode on the virtual console myself.
+Adam Williams Yeah. Wings are one-hit breakable. There's also many more enemies. Bit sad Johnny didn't get to showcase this on his video.
I really want to see how much of a shitshow Area 6 Expert is. Stuff everywhere, I can imagine.
+Adam Williams Blue route Venom gets insane
Thank you for telling us about the 3D version John, I'll be sure to keep an eye out for it.
Am I the only one who finds Johnny attractive?
I'm sure he's got more than a few fangirls.
beauty is in the eyes of the beholder
He pretty hawt
it must be the hat
confidence helps. wish i had it lol.
Am I the only one who believes Adventures is my favorite Star Fox game?
How about you ask that after Johnny reviews it?
You USED to be the only person who believed Adventures was YOUR favorite Star Fox game.
Now we all believe it. xD
+Supersonic1014 I think the complaints for that game are so invalid. It plays like Zelda! Who gives a shit?! As long as it's a fun game that's all that matters!
It's because it plays like zelda. People expect star fox, not zelda.
" It's unpredictable. It's imaginative. It's got massive explosions. It builds up steadily to a spectacular ending. It's got everything, in other words, that you'd look for in a good movie- but in a game. It's brillant. " N64 Magazine. Issue 03. June, 1997.
The Legend of StarFox: Adventures. The last Rare game on a Nintendo home console and the first Rare game you're reviewing.......
welcome to eb games
You from the white north?
+Redsoxking yes, canada
how rare is it here?
I used to have one where I live in New York. But they closed down a few years back. Never knew they were Canadian
Flippy Sidee eb games is the canada version of gamestop
Wonder how he will fair with the stylus controls. I hated those in Command the game was unplayable for me.
ohhhhhhh fuck that game
if it's not the story fucking with me it's the awful stylus controls
Zyad48 Finally someone gets me
***** I dont think anyone likes how Command controls... or likes Command for that matter lol
the controls are awkward and feel like they just downright dont work at times... and like I said, the story fucks with me, the majority of the endings focus on Krystal and the majority of _those_ are SAD _AS_ *_FUCK_*
When I first got Command, I played it for roughly 5 minutes before chucking it out my window and into a dumpster truck backed into my driveway. It has been 3 years since that day.
Heracross X You pretty much summed up my experience.
Well here's something a lot of people seem to forget. You can get to the good ending of the game WITHOUT ever needing to use the Submarine or the Landmaster even once, there's multiple routes to it.
Example 1. : Corneria, Sector Y , Change route to Katina, Change Route to Sector X, Secret warp to Sector Z , Area 6, Venom2
Example 2 . : Corneria, Meteo, Secret Warp to Katina, Change Route to Sector X, Secret warp to Sector Z, Area 6, Venom2
Or heck, you can even just go easy stages up to Sector X, secret warp to Z and go Venom 2, BAM.
This way you both avoid the annoying Solar stage, don't have to finish Macbeth's railroad track change with the Landmaster AND you also don't have to go to Aquas (Though let's face it, Zoness is an awesome stage) All Arwing stages of varying difficulty, and none of the gimmicky experiences. The sheer amount of player choice in how to route the game to Venom 2 is astonishing.
Johnny, thank you for putting the Star Fox 64 Promo video in your review :)
Why do people shit on XBox One(err...original XBox) era Rare? The Conker remake's censorship was out of their control and GBTG is just a modernized beat em up and isn't particularly bad. Hell they didn't really go off the deep end until after the Kinect launched.
Because they didn't do anything with their Ips, all the new games they made were Meh at best, and then they turned into a exclusive kinect developer. The only good thing that came from Microsoft buying rare was killer instinct, and they didn't even make that. Plus because Microsoft was bought by rare, we lost many games that could have been, like Banjo threeie, and Donkey Kong Racing.
+Gunman 1357 and MS thought they could get Donkey Kong by buying Rare...
iownalx23 Yes and it was very dumb that they thought that.
I am such a fanboy of Star Fox 64 I'd gladly say I find it worth $80-$100. That's how much I spent on Star Fox Zero after all. I have all the medals on Star Fox 64 on expert mode and I still have fun with it 2 decades later. And now that I have Star Fox Zero I have even more options.
Star Fox 64 > Star Fox Zero > Star Fox 1 > Star Fox 2. I haven't played enough of the others to have a fair opinion though.
Well some people just don't have that budget.
KidSnivy69 I can see that but Star Fox is a game about replayability. I have gotten more playtime from Star Fox 64 than any other game in my life.
I didn't say it doesn't, just no matter how great a game life is life
***** "I haven't played enough of the others to have a fair opinion though."
I played a bit but it was ages ago. I haven't finished either Gamecube game or Command yet, I do plan to at some stage but they're games that keep escaping me whenever I have time.
N64 was one of the best consoles ever. I'm damn glad I had it growing up.
It is so refreshing to see this game straight after the first 2.

When it comes to Starfox Adventures I'll say this: It's a good game..............but not a Starfox Game
Well for most of the time when it was being made it didn't have anything to do with Starfox, It was called Dinosaur Planet for the N64, Nintendo offered to help port it to the gamecube if they slapped the starfox IP on it. Originally there was two playble characters Sabre and Krystal which you switched between during the story. Also the game is built off of Ocarina of TIme's Engine.
It's not even a good game. Even if you would take Star Fox out of it, it's still a mediocre adventure game with hardly anything memorable, just like most of the Rareware's games. With the exception of Conker's Bad Fur Day and Jet Force Gemini.
" hardly anything memorable, just like most of the Rareware's games"
My god.... how can one have taste this bad?
Kleizar Well to be fair, I didn't care less for Banjo and Kazooie but I can see how memorable they can be.

Or maybe I just have different taste in video games and don't let nostalgia affect on my opinion on games. For me Rareware was an overrated company and their games have some of the worst mechanics I've ever seen in video games.
2:39 Well, in terms of gameplay, Sonic does that every other game.
Mother and FF do that with story.

but they reuse tropes a lot. Same with most JRPGs.
I have never played Star Fox 64, but thanks to this video I think I will give it a buy on the Nintendo eshop. Thanks again Johnny for another great video review.
AM2R is a fanmade remake from the ground up of metroid 2 that is complete after being in the works for 10 years. I know you are in the middle of a star fox thing, and i am loving it, and i cant wait to see more, but i seriously hope from one metroid fan to another that you will review this great game.
as far as the franchise for Star Fox goes.....I seriously doubt the writers for this doesnt know what to do with Star Fox cause they seem to only do remakes/reboots and just attach a gimmick to it. In fact i think Nintendo is really starting to run out of ideas with ALL their franchises. I dont have high hopes for the NX. Its gonna be another gimmick console.
Really wish Nintendo would stop with the gimmicks.
I think Zelda Breath of the Wild looks amazing, absolutely beautiful and star shinning
I'm very disappointed in them treating the Paper Mario and Metroid Series, as it looks like they do not give a single fuck about them
Nintendo will continue to surprise me, in good and bad ways
We have to wait to see what turn we have for now, especially with this new console coming out
I try to keep my expectations low, to see how they'll either blow me away or disappoint me
No matter what. I'll always love Nintendo for what they've done
Not saying that you said that, it's just how I feel lol
"Writers?" Miyamoto is the writer.
Carsonj13 Miyamoto isnt the writer. He is just a creator and content producer. He has other people to write for these games.
+Xanderstrife Yeah
Xanderstrife Really? I remember him saying something about delaying the game to make the story the best possible version of Star Fox 64's with time portals and such...
>those comments about the gyro controls
Oh Johnny...
You poor fellow..
Star Fox Zero is going to piss you off so much.
Fuck that game and Fuck Nintendo for slapping Platinum's name on it to shame them.
tfw was my first star fox game :'( I hate Zero a lot
Zero was a good game. The controls just took some getting used to.
I really hate how Nintendo made all that hype about Star Fox Zero and in reality it was just a remake trying act as a new adventure. Its like Rayman 3D! Tricking people into thinking this is gonna be an all new adventure! The controls didn't help much either!
>LOL GYRO CONTROLS
>Doesn't listen to how his complaint was that 64 3D's gyro *moves the ship* along with the cursor
I like Star Fox Zero but its disappointing that its just a remake of 64 and those controls,not terrible but its really hard to get use to.
I'm binge watching the VS series just got done with the pokemon month and the castlevania marathon and this comes out :D
FYI: gaining all gold medals earns you expert mode, new multiplayer vehicles (pilots on foot) and a sound test. Also, you can earn all badges in expert mode and FUCK SECTOR Z's REQUIREMENTS FOR A BADGE ON EXPERT!
Sector Z is absolutely atrocious when you're going for the medal as you have to shoot down the missiles before your teammates get them so you can get enough points. It's even worse if you get there from Zoness and you also have to worry about Katt getting them. It wouldn't have been so bad if your team's kills counted towards your score like it did in Zero.
