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

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

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.

Guys just play the PC port of SF64 called Starship

Who's excited for Star Fox 64 4

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

Not buying a Switch 2 for a game I already played 29 years ago.

I fucking love Star Fox but it hurts to see the franchise rotting on the vine. I know Nintendo's philosophy is that they only want to make a sequel if they can advance some new mechanics or hardware tech, and clearly they saw the mouse mode and 2-player co-op as the impetus to even make this in the first place, but god damn would I love to see a new story with the exact same gameplay.

Sometimes you just come up on a formula that works and you can let the writers take the wheel for a bit. Not every game needs to push the envelope in terms of graphics or mechanical complexity or never-before-seen gameplay loops.

Remake? Zzzz

Imagine they made a Star Fox game with flight mechanics similar to No Man's Sky in the sense that there are missions that take you from planet side to space and onto another planet in one mission? They could do that on Switch 2, but instead we get a very very safe ie boring remake.

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.
