Nintendo: famously hoards star fox 2 for 22 years
Also, Nintendo: *makes star fox zero mandate motion controls*
Miyamoto: "uhh, how come this isn't franchising? Idk what to do with it"
Fans: infinitygauntlet(dot)exe "Fine, ill do it myself"
Miyamoto: brain damaged screeching "No, that's not how you're supposed to play the game!"

Currently i have Star Fox 64 3D with Citra in my Launchbox. Not sure if ill switch to this, but its cool I guess.

That's so cool !

I wonder if they're going to be able to release support for mods/texture packs soon, because they made it for OoT so maybe it's easier on other ports as well ?

If the Port supports replacing textures and models, it will be possible to leave the graphics and audio the same as the 3DS.

the famous on-rails shooter for the Nintendo 64

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't it be a 3rd person shoot em up? It can't be a rail shooter, you can control the characters/ships movement.
In rail shooters, you're bound to a rail like you're in a cart, and the only way to change the path is to shoot different things, right?

Can't wait for 4 player online co-op mod!

"The original Star Fox (1993) further popularized rail shooters, adding 3D graphics."

"Star Fox 64 was released in 1997 and gained wide renown for its graphics, level design and non-linearity.[1] It was the last primarily rail shooter Star Fox game, with Nintendo switching to a fully 3D range of movement going forwards.[1]"

Most games of the genre translates that to the reticle alone, but some also give you the freedom to move around the viewport while the game take you on a predetermined path like Star Fox, a similar example would be Sin and Punishment.

yaaaay, i can't fucking wait to play basically the same game i would have been playing on my totally real SNES for ever but this time with shitty interpolation to give the illusion of 60 FPS (it'll still be 20 FPS under the hood so enjoy suffering)

LoggerMan · 2024-11-27T06:12:34+0000

Now that all these native ports are possible, have to wonder if Nintendo will one day bring NSO to PC and mobile. That would be wild if they did and it had online multiplayer.

NEED a native Switch homebrew port.

I really why nintendo mishandled that franchise so much.

Because Rare is no longer making the games. They literally made Starfox 1, 2 and 64.

Like Nintendo was so lazy with the story the N64 game is basically a remake of the first game.

Rare was involved with Starfox Adventures, but only because Shiggy demanded they made Dinosuar Planet into a Star Fox game. Argunaut Games was the ones made the original and the sequel Nintendo canned, unless you have some groundbreaking proof that Greg Mayles and his crew of british game developers actually made the SuperFX chip while Grant Kirkhope made some snazzy tunes in the background and definitively proved that Argunaut is a hack-fraud.
