The update to the 16-bit Super NES title continues the original's on-rails 3D shooting action on the Nintendo 64. Starring Fox McCloud, Peppy Hare, Falco Lombardi, and Slippy Toad, this new 64-bit version contains 15 plus levels, easy, medium, and difficult paths, forward-scrolling levels as well as full 3D realms, and a three-part multiplayer mode using a four-player split screen. In addition to plenty of Arwing action, the game introduces a new hover tank and even features a submarine level. The 8-megabyte cartridge also boasts voice samples from 23 different characters instead of the original's animal noises. Star Fox 64 was the first game to feature Rumble Pak support. A Rumble Pak bundle and standalone version of the game were sold. Released in Europe under the name Lylat Wars. Read less

So... I was thinking of spending around 1300 USD this Christmas buying a PS5 and new TV...

But I realized I'm having so much fun on my 10 year old TV connected to my near 4 year old Switch... playing a 24 year old game!

I guess fun and enjoyment don't have to have a high price tag on it.

Re-living my teenage years now that it is out for the Switch online expansion pack. It will take a while to reach the lever I had back in day, but I am enjoying every minute!

I was always skeptical that the praise for this game was mostly a nostalgia thing, but after playing through it finally, I totally get it. After a rough start where I struggled to understand how to beat the first boss, I quickly got the hang of it and had a great time with the gameplay. The personalities of the main crew and bad guys was probably the best part. I about died when Slippy yelled “Your carcass is mine!” in his high pitched frog voice. Some tough but fair boss battles and some really cool linear levels here. That final boss had me mashing the shoot button like crazy. Love short but sweet games like this in an age of overly long games with boring side activities, this had a focus and a style and it nailed it.
