It's the definitive version of an all-time classic.
The compressed voice clips are very fitting though, since you're supposed to be hearing everyone over a radio.
They should have at least given the option to switch between new and old audio.
Multiple playthroughs to see all different paths if its like the N64 version.
Highscores and the such as well.
It's a game made to be replayed lots of times. The story is short because you're supposed to be able to beat it in one sitting.
The challenge doesn't come in beating the game, but in getting high scores (you win medals for achieving certain scores in each level). It also has branching paths, so you're not playing the same levels in every playthrough.

It's a good version of a game I really dislike
It's like 40 minutes long but you can replay it and go a different direction!!!

While I personally prefer the slightly cheesier dialogue in the original, Star Fox 64 3D is a fantastic game that I highly recommend. It's still a classic, and a great example of how fun games can be when they don't take themselves too seriously. You can tell just how much fun the team making this game had.
What the hell, man? One of the best games for n64.

It's one of the most replayable games ever made.
It's basically a score-attack game. The replay fun comes from trying to beat your high scores (Old school fun).

The emulated 64 version is still the definitive way to play it, but it's a good handheld version.

I was under the impression that Star Fox 64 didn't have voice acting in Japan. I thought NOA added this to prove they didn't need CDs.

You're probably thinking of the EU version which has an optional gibberish language for the voice acting.
I got this game for cheap, but I couldn't get used to the 3DS controls very much. The voice acting's less memorable too, tho both these are obviously compared to what I'm used to playing SF64 back in the day. Graphic and music wise it's a nice upgrade.

It shows how badly the original aged, especially if you play it right after Uprising. Not worth the money.

Nah yo, it's DOPE
They are different games, and lol, Star Fox hasn't aged at all. The mechanics are still tight as they have always been.

They changed a handful of lines, so rather than re-record only those lines they re-did the entire script.

They are different games, but 64 is a bore fest by comparison. The barely upgraded models don't help.
Basically, the game is more lifeless than you remember it. Characters are boring, level designs are boring, and gameplay isn't as fun as you remember.

It's a shame you can't enjoy this the way I do, anymore. I'm so sorry about that.

Me too
I mean, I didn't not enjoy it at all (I went back a few times and got some emblems), but I can't recommend dropping those crazy prices on it really, since it's so hard to find used.

My favorite thing about the game is that the VO is all new, but absolutely faithful to the original performances. It gives me hope for future Star Fox games with the same vocal direction

Like some other dissenters are saying, the Music and Voice Over replacements are really pretty detracting. Slidepad controls are also kinda not great.
The visuals are upgraded and the gameplay is very much still intact, so it's worth it for a portable version of the classic.

Other then closing the lid to do the suspend feature, there is no saving in this game, it's a one shot through the entire game still correct?

The game auto-saves after every level.
I could not disagree more. I loved it when it was released and I still have a blast playing it 17 years later.

Hmmm ok. I could have swore I started the game, got three levels in. Had to quite. Came back and started me all over again a year or so ago.

Then you played in N64-mode. Auto-save is for 3DS-mode.

So I just got this off Club Nintendo. It was a reward item thankfully. The physical and eShop versions are overpriced, especially the physical versions, which are going for 50 bucks and up!
Pretty impressed with the remake. The 3DS has been a great N64 remake machine, especially since the original games have poor frame rates and the fuzzy textures that were common for the N64.
Even though we got a Mario 64 remake already on the DS, I would've loved a 3DS version instead, due to the better hardware of course and Circle Pad.
