Review of StarFox 64 (N64, 3DS)

Hi everyone! Today I am going to review one of the most popular games on the N64 catalogue.   Can Nintendo snatch the Satoru Iwata Memorial Award? Let's find out!


big shout out to newcomer to tour community, Michel "Zerg Rusher" McLennan, Tom "Summoner's Rift" Starkey, andd the MegaBytes Staff with their requests

Starfox 64 (or Lylat Wars in the EU) is without a doubt one of the most iconic games in the N64 catalog! When the 3DS launched, Nintendo has remade this game, specifically for the console!*
In this game the Evil Andross has built an ary to invade the KLylat System (again!). Things takes a turn for the worse when Fox McLoud's father, James McLoud(nice name, bro!) gets killed by a deserter of the team, Pigma Dengar. (it's a trap!) Peppy narrowly made it out of the ambush alive. It was up to Fox McLoud, Peppy Hare,Slippy Toad and Falco Lombardi to stop them and avenge Fox's father's death. the accessibility scores are as follows

Visibility 10
Fox's squad mates' ship are identical to your own and markers will show, and letters will help distinguish who pilots that ship. So you can

Audibility 10
in cutscenes, and missions, the entire bottom screen is used for subtitles and a portrait of the speaker will indicate who is saying what, so you can understand what's been said, but the majority of the time, you'll be concentrating on the top screen where the action of the game is, which can be problematic to visually impaired polyesters, but it can be noticeable enough for a hearing impaired player. Also when a squuadmate asks for help, notifications will appear on screen to indicate thatm, and where the squadmate is. so you can play this game with relative ease

Mobility 10
Right guys, this is where this games shines out like the sun on a crisp, winter's morning. There's numerous ways, you can use the circle pad to maneuver your ship around the screen as the level progresses, the d-pad to perform aerobatics like somersults, the  L and R buttons to bank turns, pressing twice would make fox perform a barrel roll, which  acts like a repulsor for incoming fire.

You can enable the 3DS' Gyroscope(motion detector) to steer the ship. This allows mobility impaired players to play this game normally. So you can play this game with ease.

Gameplay 10
Well, this is, basically, a remake of a remake of StarFox (or StarWing in the EU) So if you've played  StarWing, the plot will be exactly the same, but, to be fair, what Nintendo has done is they've taken what's good about StarFox 4 and cranked it tenfold. The game now runs at silky smooth 60fps(frames per second) and the resolution of the textures is a marked improvement. Also there's the battle mode which allows you to take other people on via wireless connection, or against the AI, which is unique about this game. So, in short this game is very faithful to the classic N64 game and i highly recommend this game to fans of  the franchise, or the classic N64 game for a good ol' fashioned dose of nostalgia


OVERALL SCORE 100%




see you guys in the next review
