Star Fox 64 is my favorite game and 64 3D is where I came to truly know it back in 2011. For a long time, it was the de facto way for me to enjoy the adventure, but I have since come to prefer the N64 original. Its sense of scale, by merit of being up on the TV, is pretty much unmatched. Really a matter of personal preference, but my last 5+ replays of 64 were on the OG version.
This was my first time playing through 3D in several years now, and it just as slick as I remembered. There's little doubt in my mind that this is the definitive version and the one that I'd recommend to newcomers, I also really enjoy the depth of field 3D implementation as well as the pilot convos moving to the bottom screen. Really keeps the action clear.
I still do prefer setting myself up on the TV, playing 64 through NSO with the N64 controller. But I also really like the lo-fi 90s look of the game. That said, 3D CERTAINLY controls a hell of a lot better than 64 does when played portably on Switch, so I see this as the definitive handheld iteration of the game, even post-Switch.
