Star Fox 64 appreciation thread

This poster pulses with an appeal so broad the typical restraints of our societies fall by the wayside.
One of the greatest thrills of my gaming life was getting that oversized box with the Rumble Pak included. I was so hyped for that thing after the StarFox 64 promo video that I got in the mail.

I remember picking this up with the rumble pack way back when. Good times. I loved this game to death.

Sorry, it's cliche but I had to say it. I loved SF64, the branching paths, etc. *Looks disappointingly at copy of Starfox:Assault*

FLAWLESS VICTOLY!
Game is great! Bums me out thinking of what Assault could have been. Such a lousy sequel.

Other than a few levels I found the game a bit disappointing, I don't know why, but I found it too easy. I did't like the branching paths though, it made it a bitch to collect all the medals in the planets. I wish there was an option to just replay certain levels. Overall good game.

The Japanese version's in Japanese, so I can't here these brilliant quotes.
does it have voice-acting? back when it was released I played it for a while and remember it had, but then I read somewhere that it only had sound effects acting as voice, like in the original star fox

Yeah, the tank mission with the train (MacBeth, I think) was cool. Also Area 6 was really cool because there were so many enemies
Here's a couple more pictures

area6 was too awesome, it really felt like goint trough all of Venom's defence, and then fighting star wolf on venom

That mission was awesome. Great Fox joins in and it really did feel like an entire army trying to stop you from getting to Venom.
The cyborg-ish Star Wolf on Venom stage was cool, but I liked the regular path even better. There were huge swarms everywhere. toppling pillars, or pillars jumping out of the ground, a really cool "trench run" with Falco where I remember him saying "Don't go dyin' on me!"
Macbeth and the Forever Train was the name of the stage with the Land Rover. That was a really outstanding stage as well.

Star Fox assault was a very dissapointing game that was linear, and irratating. I really loved SF64 due to the branching game paths, the voices fit the characters and they were very likable, unlike a certain Gamecube game that has the most annoying chracter ever, Krystal.
The music was awesome. I remember so many great tunes from all the levels, I even find myself humming them randomly throughout the years. They fit the levels perfectly. The graphics are obviously dated now but they were good at the time.
The gameplay was filled with fun fighting, awesome levels, and the Landmaster was fun, unlike it was in Starfox Assault. The situations were always exciting and intense and brought more too the game. The multiplayer mode I played heavily with everyone I knew, I have fond memories of my older brother totally destroying me in it though. That game was fucking hard. It took a few tries to beat it and it was also hard to unlock everything. I remember hearing if you got all the medals you could get Fox's father to join the crew or something.

The gameplay was filled with fun fighting, awesome levels, and the Landmaster was fun, unlike it was in Starfox Assault. The situations were very different. Some levels had different ones, like light the light house, or some character comes along and changes the pace of the mission. The others were just straight ahead shoot and save an ally when they need it. The multiplayer mode I played heavily with everyone I knew, I have fond memories of my older brother totally destroying me in it though. It was also hillarious how everyone would panic when somebody got a bomb. I loved the mode where you and a friend could just go around and blast everything in sight and whoever got the most kills won. I kinda wished they'd let you play co-op though, I bet that would've been a great experience. That game was fucking hard. It took a few tries to beat it once and it was also hard to unlock everything. I remember hearing if you got all the medals you could get Fox's father to join the crew or something.
Oops dupe post, delete the above one.

Fox just had James' sunglasses.
The game had this great cinematic quality to it without actually having very many cutscenes. It wasn't just random missions, it actually felt like an ongoing story. First stopping the invasion and then making your way to Venom. The design was so good you actually got into the story and atmosphere despite the characters being goofy cartoon animals.
The end of The Forever Train is so awesome. I love the explosion when the train crashes into their base.

Damn, I loved this game, I still go back now and again to complete it. I'm up to 63 times in total
This game fucking owns. :lol
I played it over and over again years ago. The game was quite easy and I don't ever died unless I play the expert mode.
Indeed Area 6 is the most amazing stage. The spacemines at the begginning cause a chain reaction if you hit the middle mine with a smart bomb. :lol The swarms of enemies and countless armada ship to shoot down was pure bliss. You need hyper laser to get the most out of this stage. Though the boss was kinda easy (didn't he cloak?).
Fucking EAD better make a next SF inhouse! Damn Namco I skipped SFA.

leading your lasers toward them.
those fucker are fast to dodge the bullets.
Make you you survived Area 6 with hyper laser or it'll could take to long to bring them down. Also you must do it within time limit. They are 50 points for a kill each. If you take too long they lowered the points on the kill and no medals.
I found Sector Z and Titania the hardest to win the medals.

"What the heck?!"
"It's beautiful, Fox!"
Yeah it's funny because I was telling my girlfriend tonight how kickass SF64 is. I just wish my sister would return my N64.

I would kill for a SFDS done by the SF64 team. That was my second favorite multiplayer title for N64 behind Goldeneye. Not only that, but it had one of the most amazing single player experiences for the system.

lol the title screen pic reminds me of how you could move the Starfox 64 logo and the crew would move their heads and look wherever it would go on the screen. Always gave me a chuckle.
