Complaining about ports should be a bannable offense, it's plaguing every 3DS thread. Clearly there is enough demand for these games. If you don't like them, don't buy them. For older folks who value nostalgia and for younger kids who never got to play them, these enhanced remasters of old classics is a gift from the heavens.

Completely agreed.
OOT and Star Fox 64 hold dear places in my gaming heart, and are games i'll never forget. To see them remastered is just fantastic, and really makes me very happy that these games have such a long-standing appreciation, and that they've (their gameplay that is) stood the test of time.

 

[donkey show]

Where the bombs always called nova bombs?

Yes, even in the US version.

 

[Stylo]

I recall seeing a video with the old VA intact. I'll go look for it.... The VA is half the experience.

 

[2Crisis]

As Much as I'd like a new one, 64 is the best Starfox IMO. Finely crafted. Might consider getting a 3DS for this.

Also, this thread needs some theme music:

[Shiggy]

Where's Krystal?

 

[DefectiveReject]

HAHA
Love that staring at the 6 clips at the bottom gives you the 3d effect.

 

[dimb]

Where's Krystal?

Katt Monroe was Krystal before Star Fox got furry'd out.

Starfox 64 is probably one of the games I hold in highest regard, but the prospect of paying $40 to play it all over again seems preposterous. And not just because handheld games shouldn't cost $40.

 

[Chet Rippo]

Where's Krystal?

This is 64 3D, not Assault 3D or Command 3D.
This is a No-Krystal Sector.

 

[Chuck]

Nintendo keeps up their streak of terrible, terrible names for their games.

 

[HolyCheck]

pal version better be named Lylat Wars

 

[BGBW]

Surprised by people being astonished of another N64 port as if this is news. I thought GAF was home to the informed gamer.

 

[Nessus]

And not just because handheld games shouldn't cost $40.

I'm curious: why not?

I know it's just an assumption pretty much everyone takes for granted, but, all things being equal, why should hand held games, simply by virtue of being on a hand held, cost less?

I mean, if they provide the same amount of content as a console game (not saying that the Star Fox 64 remaster does).

We're quickly approaching the point where the budgets for hand held games that really take advantage of the hardware are going to be pretty much the same as that of a console game.

Not picking on you, it's just I've never considered why we just assume hand held games should be cheaper, how $30 is some magical threshold past which it's no longer worth it.

 

[Nuclear Muffin]

Holy crap, that one came out of nowhere! Thought for sure that it was going to be a September-October release!

So I guess that means that a July or August release in the US/EU for Starfox 64 3D is a lock then. That will almost certainly mean that Kid Icarus will be August/September (the games are too similar to be released side by side)

The last 2 days have just been full of surprises from Nintendo it seems!

Yay! they kept the same stupid looking running animation for each character!

Nintendo keeps up their streak of terrible, terrible names for their games.

Still not as stupid as "Super Mario 64 DS"!

 

[VOOK]

The last 2 days have just been full of surprises from Nintendo it seems!

Not really. Release dates for games we already knew about, games we don't care about. Nothing worth talking about for the Wii or DS.

3DS everything is post June.

Meh.

Wii Play Motion? OoT being made by Grezzo? I didn't see those coming!

 

[B_Rik_Schitthaus]

they should at least put a 3d version of the SNES version on the cart.

 

[Myriadis]

Still not as stupid as "Super Mario 64 DS"!

Or Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix.

 

[wonderfuldays]

HAHA

They should made it placed parallel like 321123. Not 123456.

 

[Naked Snake]

Why when they can sell that for $6 on the eShop?

I hope they include it. Would be a terrific bonus.

 

[Madao]

to all people bitching that this is a port: considering every starfox game in the last decade was trash, i'll gladly take this port over any new game they can come up. some things can't be replicated.

can't wait for july/august.

 

[Rich!]

Going into UK talk for this, as it's the same situation.

£39.99 for the games RRP. Yeah, utter bullshit. However, there's this wonderful thing called the internet where you can pick them up for £29.99 or even cheaper!

 

[Freezie KO]

they should at least put a 3d version of the SNES version on the cart.

Despite SF64 being the superior game, I'd much rather have a complete remake of the first one. The graphics in the first one are pretty terrible with awful pop-in, and I'm usually the last to complain about visuals. I played it a while ago, and it's pretty rough.

Granted it would take actual effort, but a StarFox SNES looking like this game would be great. As it is, SF64 3D is a moderate jump in graphics from SF64 with no real hook to those that already own the game. A shiny new StarFox SNES would feel much newer.

 

[Phife Dawg]

I'm ready for this. I remember paying obnoxious amounts back in the days for the cartridge (still being a school kid and all) I know I'll be getting a lot of mileage out of this one.

Choppy framerate in Pilotwings Resort? What version are you playing?

He's been saying that in various threads. He seems to be the only one experiencing it. I'm very allergic to choppy framerates and PW only had minor slowdowns in a few instances.

He means "choppy" as how it moves from 60 to lower (which is most of the time). It's more like an inconsistent framerate.

Never feels like 60 for me. Only playing in 3D of course, have to check if it's different for 2D.

+ Rayman 3D

DC port.

 

[Kenka]

You better prepare to be "embarassed" then, because it will be full price.

Goddamn. I really can't say I am happy.

to all people bitching that this is a port: considering every starfox game in the last decade was trash, i'll gladly take this port over any new game they can come up. some things can't be replicated.

Did Nintendo lose its ability to make good Starfox games at some point ? If so, then fuck them. Why are they charging full price for a remake ?
Anyway, I'll buy it when it hits 10£ on Zavvi.

 

[NinjaTehFish]

Yeah id prefer a new game in the series.

But c'mon it's Lylat Wars in 3D


Yeah. Motherfuckin Lylat Wars.

 

[Cindres]

I did not know they were doing this in 3D. I just came.

 

[GooeyHeat]

Most quotable game ever. Oh, and the gameplay's pretty good, too. I am ready to not be allowed to do that. I am ready to barrel roll. I am ready to never defeat Andross.

 

[Always-honest]

sorry Ninty, not buying your ports anymore.

Get with gaming. Not just making money.

 

[Mafro]

sorry Ninty, not buying your ports anymore.

Get with gaming. Not just making money.

Bless you.

Can't wait for this. Played the hell out of Lylat Wars on the N64 and again on VC, it's probably in my top five of all time. I know that game like the back of my hand, so I'm looking forward to seeing all the changes they've made.

 

[Izayoi]

Bought the second it was announced.

I had so, so, so much fun with the N64 version. Here's hoping for at least local multiplayer.

 

[JazzmanZ]

Nintendo keeps up their streak of terrible, terrible names for their games.

What would you have rather have them name it?

Starfox 3DS? Because if they did that, there's gonna some stupid people thinking its a remake of the SNES one.

 

[Mailenstein]

Awesome, can't wait for it! My favourite N64 game of all time !

 

[Blueblur1]

 

[Jiguryo]

As I pretty much missed the chance to play the original, I'm so in for this version.

 

[JustAnotherOtaku]

Hopefully this also gets a PAL release in July. Pretty barren month at the minute and this would fill the void nicely.

 

[WillyFive]

The updated intro looks fantastic.

The music shown here is not orchestrated though.

2 too many

No such thing. More good games means good. Believe it or not, not everyone had an N64 back in the 90's.

 

[Nuclear Muffin]

Pilotwings Resort is mostly 30FPS but sometimes jumps to 60FPS in certain circumstances.

3D has no effect on the framerate. It's exactly the same (jumps to 60FPS and all!) in either 2D or 3D.

 

[mr_lakitu]

Oh, man! I'm gonna have to jack off.

Never give up. Trust your instincts.

 

[SpacePirate Ridley]

Ive beat the game but I gladly will beat the awesomest that is StarFox64 the Lylat Wars in 3D various times more!

The intro in various gifs is awesome :lol screams 90's internet webpage.
The characters look awesome, I laugh that they didnt update Slippy's running animation, with this graphics it looks awkard.

Also, codec texts in spanish this time.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Isn't it a remake than a port? Look at that non-jaggy, non-polygonal models!

Where's Krystal?

Thank goodness she's not here! A shame no Panther, but if that means no shit like Krystal, I'm willing to take it.

 

[Azure J]

The best Starfox game and one of my most replayed and defining games of my childhood/lifetime revamped and sexy-d up on 3DS for on the go shenanigans. I can't describe to you how ready my body is. :lol

 

[Hot Coldman]

Yay Lylatwars returns

 

[Joseph Merrick]

Believe it or not, not everyone had an N64 back in the 90's.

yep, I chose not to have one.

 

[Barrett2]

I never played this back in the day, I was on that PS1 train.

Is this game all air combat? Are you ever not in a space ship? Is it difficult? How long does it take to beat?

 

[Alrus]

yep, I chose not to have one.

You're complaining about ports of game you never played?

 

[Akai]

You've got the Arwing, Landmaster tank, and Blue Marine (submarine)...

This is the map, with routes separated by difficulty:

 

[Joseph Merrick]

don't think so? and I have played it. I just wanted to write "2 too".

 

[Emitan]

The trailer brought tears to my eyes. This game is my childhood and favorite game of all time.

why the edit?

 

[GeekyDad]

Makes 2. Damn, so many.

Rayman 3DS kinda falls into that category, regardless of what they actually built the game from. And his/her remark was probably more of a reaction to ports in general, rather than merely ports from N64 games. Splinter Cell, Dead or Alive, SSIV, etc., etc.

Either way, I still want this. It looks great. Same awesome gameplay, but I think 3D will do wonders for this game. While other folks are off trying to flex their gaming muscles, I just want to be entertained. This will work for me.

Complaining about ports should be a bannable offense, it's plaguing every 3DS thread. Clearly there is enough demand for these games. If you don't like them, don't buy them. For older folks who value nostalgia and for younger kids who never got to play them, these enhanced remasters of old classics is a gift from the heavens.

Yes, by all means, silence the voices of dissent. No grumbling aloud. *rolls eyes*
