I have wanted a new Starfox game for so long. I wanted to be excited about this, but why are they remaking it AGAIN?!? 4 of the 7 Starfox games are the same fucking game! When people said they wanted a new Starfox game they meant they wanted a NEW Starfox game. If they wanted to do just a visual upgrade they could have just tweaked Zero and released it on Switch. I mean hell at least that game had new content. The franchise has so much potential and its so frustrating to see Nintendo be completely unable to innovate on this series. Fucking Namco managed to do a decent job for fucks sake. This is the only franchise of theirs that they are just completely incapable of creating something new for and its honestly baffling.

Most of the graphical changes seem... fine I guess. The characters faceplant right into the weird hyperrealistic uncanny valley tho.

I'm not sure them mentioning more dialogue and cutscenes makes me particularly excited. Seeing what they've changed and added in the trailer doesn't inspire confidence, it feels like those joke AAA gaming tutorial things where they state the obvious in a hyper positive cheesy voice and maybe I'm just picky because its different, but here we are.

The multiplayer looks sort of neat, too bad I'd have to buy a switch 2, pay for Nintendo online, and suffer on Nintendo's shitty servers to use it.

I'll probably just stick to the recomp. My favorite part of the game is the gameplay, and that looks completely unchanged.

We got a good reaction pic out of it, I guess

Cool I guess. Nintendo doesn’t seem to know what to do with the franchise. They’ve remade SF64 twice now.

Am I the only one bothered by the fact Fox’s ears stick out of his helmet? I certainly wouldn’t wear headgear that left the most fragile and sticky-outy parts of my head exposed.

Sad to see the huge engine glow go. I always thought it looked cool.

Why not just make a new one?

Guys just play the PC port of SF64 called Starship

G-Diffuser… seems fine. Let’s go already!

Oh you know that one’s gonna come to bite him in the butt later

Gameplay looks fine, but I'm not buying a switch 2 to play.

What's up with Fox's appearance tho? He looks like he's cone out of retirement being overweight. Remaster doesn't mean you have to have realistic visuals that alter from the style of the original.

Ugh, it's Star Fox 64. I loved it as a kid because it was new and cutting edge and hey rumble pack... but the tone of the SNES original, the music, the character art, they were better than Star Fox 64's in retrospect.

On top of that, they tried to make Fox look like a realistic fox with that goofy cartoon pattern and mohawk, and it's just not working for me. The mohawk never worked for me and now it looks even sillier.

It's a good thing I already laid Nintendo to rest in my heart or seeing this might have hurt a little.

Who's excited for Star Fox 64 4

Not missing having a Switch 2 at all.

Ugly Sonic lookin "This will be graphics in 2013" lookin character designs.

Nintendo: We cant make a new FZero because we dont know how to make it fresh.

Also Nintendo:

Look, the music was fine. Gameplay looked fine I guess. Mouse aim added obviously in response to decompilation projects. Graphics were mixed bag, sometimes they looked good and sometimes they looked like the lava on Solar. Arwing designs are way too busy. Multiplayer looks cool and actually interesting, but gameshare over the internet with gamechat is an abomination they shouldnt have even showed. Seeing that 5fps feed for 3 screens was painful.

Definitely not a system seller.

If the rumored Ocarina of Time remake looks like his, I really hope they cancel it immediately.

Finally the kids will understand where the "Do a barrel roll" meme comes.

I'd take an updated version of the original Starfox that ran at a decent framerate.

Doesn't look great...

From the trailer the gameplay seems fine, although I don't get why they are remaking 64 again (again), and the graphics look decent, albeit generic. I kinda hate the character redesigns and voices. The "more cutscenes" doesn't really feel like a selling point to me and I'm a bit worried about it.

We need the SNES remake

Meh. I had the original Starfox 64 VHS promo cassette that hyped the game and rumble pak. The game got bumped as my birthday gift request by GoldenEye 007, but I eventually bought the game in its chunky cardboard box; Rumble Pak and all.

I thoroughly enjoyed the N64 game and had more exposure to that one than the original SNES title, but I think I'll wait for either PC emulation or I cave and buy a Switch 2. The former is more likely at the moment.

It looks nice, but it's no "killer app."

Hard pass. Maybe they'll take that engine and make new content with it. If so then I'll pay attention.

I think it looks fantastic, and it's releasing so soon too. Looking forward to playing this one!

A game that amounts to a graphically enhanced N64 game shouldn't cost $50.

Edit: Buying games at inflated prices emboldens Nintendo to raise them further; if this were a new game they'd be pricing it at $70 or $80.

Remake? Zzzz

Seeing the landmaster level hit me in the nostalgia, but I'm am not a fan of the Paw Patrol voice acting.

I never would have expected a Starfox 64 remake. Why cant we have nice things?

Inject it in to me.

Hopefully the start of a new series.

For some reason they didn't even push the direct/announcement to EU switches. For a game that releases in less than 2 months.

That said, hard to be excited for another Star Fox 64 remake, no matter how many animated cutscenes we get.

EDIT : they finally sent it. Even their comm around this feels like an afterthought.

The character design makes me think of Final Fantasy. 1-5, you’re dealing with chibi sprites and some silly situations where they’re jumping up and down, but also horrible circumstances that define the fate of the world. Even as far as 10, they improve their graphics but aim for a colorful, fantasy-driven atmosphere.

Then you get to 15, 16, and they’re pivoting to the dark and gritty, showing medieval warriors with realistic faces fighting through blood and grime to victory. And if there’s funny clips of 16, I’ve never seen them.

It speaks toward Japan really backlashing to the way the “JRPG” moniker is seen, and attempting to show they can make something “adult” and “realistic”. But it ends up doing the opposite.

Notably, take a look at Mouse, PI’s release. It’s a fully cartoony, silly aesthetic, but take two steps into the world and you’re fighting police corruption, Nazis, and coming back to a bar owned by a dour owner who can tell you dozens of stories about the way modern life hits the most vulnerable. It’s a true adult’s package, wrapped in a childish layer, rather than the opposite. Which, yeah, feels like the effort to make Starfox look “real”.

Also as someone else said, the widened fur around Fox’s neckline does somehow make him look obese.
