switch owners be like "it's portable though"
Nah for real this game's still pretty rad. I can't even pretend to represent an era in gaming where 3D graphics were impressive, but this game definitely nails the flying through space vibe. The illusion of a physical 3D space worked way better for me than I thought it would. And then besides the graphics it's a fun arcadey shooter. There's almost certainly better but my interaction with 99% of video game genres is filtered by Nintendo stuff, please understand.
i dont have a better transition so uh the music is cool, like the Corneria and Meteor themes. Really makes you think oh shit it's star fox let's go!! On the subject of smaller details, I appreciate the feeling of adventuring with your crew. I guess it makes sense the early gamer Internet would insult their poor dogfighting skills or whatever but nothing feels better than reassuring the homies that badabada ba daba at the end of every level. Especially because I heard they die in this one if their shield reaches 0??
Overall though, Star Fox is certifiably pretty cool. There's definitely parts where the bosses become a Powerpoint presentation and every input is more of a prayer you get out of the way, or a triagonal prism sucker punches you from off the camera, but it wasn't consistent enough to detract from the game too much for me. I dunno I don't feel like going "oh the 1993 3D tech demo has aged considerably and must be understood as a product of its time 🤓🤓🤓" because I really did have fun with it. Normalizing just liking an old video game cuz you're simply too epic for the haters to stop you 😎
I think this is where any normal person would just play the N64 one instead, but I don't really have a way to do that right now. Nuts.
