***** True, and it's not just shit but "hot shit": a piece of crap that can make the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs. And be able to take down the second Death Star.
The announcer voice inflection is top-tier and surprised the hell out of me as a teen, and even now is such a perfect addition to the menu and mission screens.
His name is Neil Ross. A veteran voice actor, he's been in Transformers, voiced Shipwreck from GI Joe and Volgin in Metal Gear 3. He's also had many roles in Star Wars Games including this one.
Voice narration in menus were a trend I was digging back then. I remember EA did that for Need for Speed III, too, and thought that was so awesome. I guess nowadays game files are so ginormous and expensive to record/fix, devs would rather just slap on some text and call it a day. Such a bummer.
Not to mention this game came out almost a full year before Ep. 1. This was back when devs actually bothered to put hidden content in games. Before the dark times,before DLC...
Siontix No. Nor do I want to have a monthly payment for the Xbox Live/PlayStation Network/Nintendo Network service; I want to receive the full game when I have to bend over $59.99 to purchase it.
@@randomstormtrooper3345 Modern Easter eggs are all kinda lame compared to what Rogue Squadron did. The Naboo Fighter was hidden in the N64 cart for a whole year and was revealed just before the release of the phantom menace. These days a secret that big would founds hours after release. At the time it was mind blowing
....which...as much as we all love the Falcon, is basically accurate. Everyone in universe calls it a piece of garbage when they first see it. Except its a piece of garbage that can make 0.5 past lightspeed and do the Kessel Run in 12 parsecs. By all accounts it COULD be a beautiful ship too (see: Solo) - Han and Chewie are just lousy housekeepers :P
The Y-Wing is the workhorse of the Rebel fleet. It's not quick or flashy, but it gets the job done. It has been illegally modified with two quad guns, one mounted cannon, several escape pods, a completely new sub-light engine, stealth and communications jamming additions, *and* a large secret cargo area! Should be interesting to see what Rebel pilots can do with this kind of technology.
@@TheAirborneRogue ooo, id have to relisten to that one to jog the memory. I wish they still made SW games like this. Hopefully this resurgence bears good fruit
I LOVED the descriptions for each craft but the Y-wing is still my favorite Star Wars star fighter. The control for each fighter was tight and felt right. I wish they came out with another rogue squadron game but without EA... because of reasons... lol
+Shadowz41 It really is a proud moment! I remember when i did it, there was just one or 2 missions which i could not just get and took a lot of attempts! I think Raid on Sullest was the worst one for me - If i got time i had not killed enough,if i killed enough accuracy was bad, if accuracy was good then time was wrong! - Good times
+TheAirborneRogue yeah I think I managed one percent above the accuracy when I finally got it right. The cloud city tallarahn one was the worst for me, that and the racing and Death Star trench run
Funny i found the racing one easy, could city was ok, apart from that stupid bonus in the middle of the city! In the end i think i just crashed to collect it and race to the end
"The Y-wing is the workhorse of the Rebel fleet. It's not quick or flashy, but it gets the job done." I swear, sometimes I feel like the narrarator is a car dealer but with starfighters.
BTL Y-Wing imagine taking a BTL-B into battle against an imperial installation. it's also not that much slower than the x-wing the y-wing has a speed of 2960 gs as opposed to the T-65 X-wing speed of 3700 gs. even the old z-95 headhunter has a speed of 2780 gs making it slower than a Y-Wing
Lrdvltr Mass Effect 1 uses the same voice actor, (Neil Ross) for the in game codex. He has the same level of enthusiasm talking about Asari and Mass accelerator weaponry as he does in this :)
What are you talking about!? Rey has TONS of character. Just look at her as she goes through the movie, eyes wide open and mouth agape...you know what, never mind.
I used to always come listen to these descriptions when i was a kid. Made the starwars universe feel all the more real to me. Got me so hyped to play the game.
I subconsciously memorized almost all of the descriptions word-by-word for each craft since I played the hell out of this game. Rogue Squadron was my all-time favorite game of the 5th console generation
This brings back many memories of my childhood. There was so much fanaticism for this game that I even built my own diorama of the home one hangar and all the ships with some plasticine, cardboard and paint. After spending hours playing on my nintendo, I would spend hours playing with my diorama and inventing new missions for my plasticine pilots.
So could those bombers. Didn't really help though, doubt the Y's would have faired better. Anyway this guy has a good idea way. th-cam.com/video/2g9YfO55n1g/w-d-xo.html&t
I always figured it was cuz Y wings were finally just so outdated by the sequel trilogy that they weren't feasible. Remember the Y wing was a Clone Wars ship and the rebels only used them cuz they were cheap and very outdated already lol, it'd be the equivalent to the USA sending MiG-21s into battle
I just noticed, the A-wing is power by twin J-77 event horizon engines; I wonder if that's yet another star-wars related 'tip of the hat' to the Germans? The Stuka Dive-bomber of WWII having the actual name Junkers Jumo Ju-87. Just a thought. :)
I've always loved the Y-wing. But then, I do like me a tank in any situation. I'd rather be able to soak up damage, and dish out damage. I like the x-wing, don't get me wrong. But if I had my choice, i'd be a Y-wing pilot all the way.
It has a slight lock on with the ion cannon, it will track targets in about a 45 radius in front of the y-wing when you fire it (i think it is the f key if i remember right)
JRGProjects exactly what I thought. I think of the v-Wing as a beefed up snowspeeder and had more firepower than the t-65 X-Wing and was the rebel counterpart to the Tie Striker.
I know it was likely due to it being a secret craft, but I was always disappointed that the Naboo Starfighter didn't get a description like the other ships.
I know! The N1 Starfighter was always my favorite in Rogue Squadron so I was disappointed that they didn’t have a description. Say what you will about Episode 1 (I still loved it) but the N1 is a beautiful ship.
Right?? As a kid I always chalked it up to a technical limitation (which considering the limited space on N64 carts...yeahhh) but the more I think about it, it could equally have been to not spoil anything plot-related from Episode 1. I mean think about it - Rogue Squadron came out in 98, and the cheat for the N1 dropped a year later in 99 before the release of TPM. They had to take precautions to not spoil the movie in case some gamer discovered it in their copy early!
V-Wing may of had no shields, but it had a lot of armaments with those cluster missiles once you had found the upgrade that turned them into homing missiles. The V-Wing was always my favorite fighter.
Same. It has incredible amount of thrust and the rapid fire mode for the laser turrets are just too op. The cooldown is only a few seconds but a few bursts of the thing can destroy a turbolaser turret.
If they ever re-release this came on current-gen consoles, I hope they add the TIE Fighter and TIE Bomber as playable ships. There's certainly plenty of room in the hangar. They could re-use the cockpit interior of the TIE Interceptor for both ships... and with the TIE Bomber, have it armed with Bombs for it's secondary weapon, and Concussion Missiles for it's special ability.
I wonder how the game would have gone with B-wings? I know that at this point they didn't have them (please note I am going by the EU timeline, not the disney canon shit), but a faster, better armed Y-wing would have been interesting
+NeidalRuekk I am not sure how well the b wing would have worked in an N64 game as well, it could have been a game breaker... it would have been cool though, i cant think on many starwars games which have them
TheAirborneRogue A lot have B-wings. D-canon now has a prototype with a death star ish laser. But in Rogue Squadron, how to use them? Heavier armoured, torpedo armed but slower X-wings? Weirdly proportioned, bomb equipped faster Y-wings? To be honest they straddle the line between the two. Go against TIE Interceptors and you'll really struggle
NeidalRuekk B-wings are are slower and less maneuverable than Y-wings. They are very difficult to pilot as well according to EU. Thats why they couldnt completely replace Y wings.
The prototype piloted by Ahsoka in Rebels uses the Death Stars' converging stream laser wherein the four wingtip cannons combine into a large beam but it's only used for shooting down Imperial capital ships such as Star Destroyers.
Same, there was talks of them making a port for the wii at one point and then there was a rumour that they had been finished and were gonna be put on the switch, but i doubt it sadly...
I don't care about the smaller amount of shielding. The A-Wing was and forever will be my favorite Star Wars fighter craft. But then again I've always played a thief or rogue. I prefer fast, nimble, "death by 1000 cuts" to the long windup and covered in so much armor you have no choice but to get hit.
For a long time when I played this game, I always thought that the announcer said "peep performance" when talking about the astromech droid in the X-wing. I mean, peeping is exactly what the astromech droids do!
Why can we not add our own captions? Auto-generated is God-awful... But thanks for uploading this. The speech on the V-Wing was driving me CRAZY trying to remember it...
I don't really look at a lot at the youtube features, how does the captioning work? I could change the settings if you want to edit them. Would have been cool to see the v wing in some other games and movies etc, its a cool concept. I like the U wings from the new movie though!
TheAirborneRogue Agreed. To answer your question, I believe the option to enable that can be found somewhere in the Creator's Studio. Go there, click on the video, and it should be under something to the effect of "Audio and subtitles".
@TheAirborneRogue Further to the previous comment, I actually was finally able to look at the settings. In the Creator's Studio, click "Video Manager". Press the "Edit" button under this video. Click "Subtitles and CC" under the "Basic info and settings" tab. The option to allow viewers to contribute subtitles, CC, and translated titles should be a short ways down on the right-hand side.
***** Cool, that should be it now. There is a link so i am not 100% sure you can edit without it being sent to you. Have a look and if you can't i'll send u it if you need it
Any chance that you can do or know where we can view commentary for crafts in the later games? I enjoy the commentary on each craft and I'm curious what it said about Slave I and other ships etc. on a side note, I love how long the list is for the Falcon's modifications.
This is a Corellian YT-1300 Freighter... illegally modified with 2 quad-guns... but why are there instead of quad-guns, these other turrets mounted...? bugging me since childhood 😄😅
If only the game engine supported the A-Wing to its fullest extent. At least in the expanded lore (no idea if canonized) the cannons can rotate 180⁰ and fire behind it. Could've saved my tail a few times.
I remember playing this all the time in 2003, mostly over the summer. I acquired and moved on to Star Wars Starfighter later in the year. Haven't played since 2008. I always liked the V wing best because of its rapid fire
I remember seeing one of my freinds playing this on an Emulator on his PC, where he preferred the A-Wing and the Snow Speeder. More specifically, their type of performance. Fast & Agile. And are willing to sacrifice "survivability" for that. I on the other hand, prefer the opposite. (in this case, the Y-Wing) Because I'm confident in my marksmanship. My Piloting Skills on the other hand. (such as flying something fast & "twitchy", while being precise as well...) Besides, having Below Average maneuverability (optimally) makes it easier to line up my shots.
1: It's "Naboo", like the planet. 2: Yeah, they never gave it a voiceover. I'm guessing it was a last minute addition since the game was in development around the same time that The Phantom Menace was in production, and they decided to put it in there as a hidden easter egg.
Okay, I signed the petition. The next question is, will we be able to get enough people to sign it by the September 30th? If not, can we set it up on a different petition site? *basically, the one it's currently on will shut down September 30th, so make sure those who've signed it are aware so they can copy what they've said and paste it into a new petition if it comes down to it*
+DavidELD The ion cannon tried (pathetically) to auto aim at enemies in front, but it was pretty useless. It's not really clear if he was speaking about the ion cannon though (if not then no, it was not a thing)
As great as the Millenium Falcon is, it's a pain trying to get Gold with it. You can't just fire away automatically with the quad guns and expect good results with how shaky the shots can be. At least the 15 homing torpedoes, weapon toggling(it resets the quad gun firing order so top shoots next each time it's pressed), and just plain ramming small targets due to high shielding and armor made it much more viable for that. Also, I believe shots can be a biiiiit more accurate if you go into 1st person... Just remember you're actually sitting on the far right of the ship when you do.
+MrMarket1987 it is more accurate in 1st person, but i'm not sure I would bother using the falcon to get golds on anything but the easier mission (such as the first couple). I always liked the Y-wing the best as it shoots so little that it is by far the most accurate (and if you want a little more firepower you just use the ions) and on Gerrard V you can beat the mission really quickly by taking down the yachts yourself, and use the bombs on those pesky AT-PTs! it also has the best shields and just looks amazing! Downsides are no missiles and its slow speed though :S
Oh, I mean in case someone's going for using it in general; Gotta make the most of your gear. And yeah, I love the Y-Wing the most as is. On the plus side due to the game mechanics, chances are if you can see a target you could lock onto with torpedoes from a distance, you can hit it with your toggled double shot or general auto fire if you aim carefully(and since the Y-Wing is the slowest, you can probably exploit the extra time to keep your distance and snipe at them a bit if you know where to find them). As for the Ion Blaster, it's pretty good for extra firepower and aim in a dogfight, almost acting like a pseudo quad gun shot at full charge, but using it does still count towards the accuracy percentage, so one must be clever with each shot or burst unless you know you can hit a lot of targets at once with Advanced bombs elsewhere. ... I would only disagree on the best shields though. It relies on a droid for recovery, and it doesn't tank quite as much as the Millenium Falcon. Granted it is smaller, so it's easier to avoid certain obstacles at least when laying low for cover.
+MrMarket1987 Funny In my experience the Y-wing was the tougher, but i could be well be wrong! Y-wing is such as under appreciated fighter/bomber i have high hopes for seeing them again in the new starwars rogue one movie!
It's possible they're just as tough as the other then, or maybe I need to get hit more times again and count each, say... rocket hit within a certain timeframe. The thing about the droid does kinda make me favor the Millenium Falcon over the Y-Wing though, since it never stops regenerating health until it goes down as there is no droid to perma-damage. One thing to note(though I suspect you know more given the enthusiasm for the starship); The Y-Wing participated during quite a few important events to say the least, and it's been in service for a LONG time since it even gets used during the Clone Wars when a team led by Anakin Skywalker cripples General Grievous' new battleship with a bombing run. So... Yeah, I agree, it's a great old reliable ship that gets overshadowed by the fame of others, and as Reiken says: "Not quick or flashy, but it gets the job done."
+TheAirborneRogue Okay, I finally returned home and got to try out the two ships. I went to the Raid on Sullust stage, and no matter how many times I tested, the Millenium Falcon was always roughly able to resist 3 more missiles than the Y-Wing. I even tried to prevent the Y-Wing from being hit as often to let its shields recover a bit while deliberately taking more hits in the MF, and the MF still took more hits to take down in total. So... there you go. This was the N64 version by the way. If they're more similar in any other version, I know nothing of it.
i know DLC really gets on my nerves, one of the worst ones is mass effect which needs you to buy dlc to unlock characters already in the game files and who are necessary for to get the best experience...
"The Income T-65 X-wing is the fighter that killed the Death Star." I still remember that part. That sold me as a X-wing jockey for life.

The V-Wing stops sucking once you get the Cluster Seeker Missiles upgrade. Then it's doomsday for whatever level you're in.
I wonder how the game would have gone with B-wings? I know that at this point they didn't have them (please note I am going by the EU timeline, not the disney canon shit), but a faster, better armed Y-wing would have been interesting
+NeidalRuekk I am not sure how well the b wing would have worked in an N64 game as well, it could have been a game breaker... it would have been cool though, i cant think on many starwars games which have them
TheAirborneRogue A lot have B-wings. D-canon now has a prototype with a death star ish laser. But in Rogue Squadron, how to use them? Heavier armoured, torpedo armed but slower X-wings? Weirdly proportioned, bomb equipped faster Y-wings? To be honest they straddle the line between the two. Go against TIE Interceptors and you'll really struggle
NeidalRuekk B-wings are are slower and less maneuverable than Y-wings. They are very difficult to pilot as well according to EU. Thats why they couldnt completely replace Y wings.
The prototype piloted by Ahsoka in Rebels uses the Death Stars' converging stream laser wherein the four wingtip cannons combine into a large beam but it's only used for shooting down Imperial capital ships such as Star Destroyers.
I died a little inside when b-wings weren't included I love everything about them.
Thanks for the insights, Colonel Volgin.
I would really love to see these games remastered for today’s consoles.
Same, there was talks of them making a port for the wii at one point and then there was a rumour that they had been finished and were gonna be put on the switch, but i doubt it sadly...
Well the nostalgia just killed me.
Can’t wait for Star Wars: Squadrons!
I don't care about the smaller amount of shielding. The A-Wing was and forever will be my favorite Star Wars fighter craft. But then again I've always played a thief or rogue. I prefer fast, nimble, "death by 1000 cuts" to the long windup and covered in so much armor you have no choice but to get hit.
A pilot after my own heard. Always been an A-Wing guy as well.
So many memories. I was too poor to get an Xbox when I was little so this was all I had.
The way he describes the millennium falcon makes it sound so bad ass
This man should introduce the new recruits to the fighter they will be flying in the new Rogue Squadron movie.
Yeah... About that...
@@Straswa I know I know….
this iz my classic asmr n64
Miss all these ships not being on Star Wars Battle Front deluxe edition and battle front 2 AS D.L.C
Excellent fighters. My favorites are the x-wing and y-wing
For a long time when I played this game, I always thought that the announcer said "peep performance" when talking about the astromech droid in the X-wing.
I mean, peeping is exactly what the astromech droids do!
🤣 I never thought of that!
The A-Wing is my personal favorite ship in this game.
Have you crashed it into a Star Destroyer yet?
Yes, Naboo starfighter... it shoots fast
Anyone else remember the cheat to turn the V-Wing into a flying Cadillac or something?
Why can we not add our own captions? Auto-generated is God-awful...
But thanks for uploading this. The speech on the V-Wing was driving me CRAZY trying to remember it...
I don't really look at a lot at the youtube features, how does the captioning work? I could change the settings if you want to edit them.
Would have been cool to see the v wing in some other games and movies etc, its a cool concept. I like the U wings from the new movie though!
TheAirborneRogue Agreed.
To answer your question, I believe the option to enable that can be found somewhere in the Creator's Studio. Go there, click on the video, and it should be under something to the effect of "Audio and subtitles".
@TheAirborneRogue Further to the previous comment, I actually was finally able to look at the settings.
In the Creator's Studio, click "Video Manager".
Press the "Edit" button under this video.
Click "Subtitles and CC" under the "Basic info and settings" tab.
The option to allow viewers to contribute subtitles, CC, and translated titles should be a short ways down on the right-hand side.
*****
Cool, that should be it now. There is a link so i am not 100% sure you can edit without it being sent to you.
Have a look and if you can't i'll send u it if you need it
Worked like a charm. The subtitles should be in your inbox any moment now.
Huge thanks for allowing me to do this; it really is appreciated so much.
Any chance that you can do or know where we can view commentary for crafts in the later games? I enjoy the commentary on each craft and I'm curious what it said about Slave I and other ships etc.
on a side note, I love how long the list is for the Falcon's modifications.
This is a Corellian YT-1300 Freighter... illegally modified with 2 quad-guns... but why are there instead of quad-guns, these other turrets mounted...? bugging me since childhood 😄😅
anyone know what emulator for android can play this game? i have mupe but it dosent work
If only the game engine supported the A-Wing to its fullest extent. At least in the expanded lore (no idea if canonized) the cannons can rotate 180⁰ and fire behind it. Could've saved my tail a few times.
I remember playing this all the time in 2003, mostly over the summer. I acquired and moved on to Star Wars Starfighter later in the year. Haven't played since 2008. I always liked the V wing best because of its rapid fire
"Rapid fire mode engaged!"
I wanna run this voice through an Ai and script voicelines for star citizen ships
Wish I had that guy's voice
That voice is so militaristic. I imagine him shouting at me in what's my major malfunction 😅
1:58 Melinium falcon!
*Millennium
No Naboo starfighter?
Jorge Reyes it was a Bonus Easter egg and the game came out before episode 1 so it was a little teaser.
@@griz312 the starfighter was so well hidden that the devs came out and said that it was in the game as soon as phantom menace came out.
When Factor 5 put in the Naboo Starfighter in Rogue Squadron, they only had concept art to go off of at the time, so its lore wasn't established yet
I dint want any of those ships, I just want a Waldorf Salad!
"I dont know where this shit came from"
The music is so good. Loved this game so much as a kid.
Y-Wing till i die baby
🦾
I remember seeing one of my freinds playing this on an Emulator on his PC, where he preferred the A-Wing and the Snow Speeder. More specifically, their type of performance.
Fast & Agile. And are willing to sacrifice "survivability" for that.
I on the other hand, prefer the opposite. (in this case, the Y-Wing) Because I'm confident in my marksmanship. My Piloting Skills on the other hand. (such as flying something fast & "twitchy", while being precise as well...) Besides, having Below Average maneuverability (optimally) makes it easier to line up my shots.
Dude fucking HATES the Falcon
Who voiced these lines? I’m looking for an AI tool of this voice for narrations. Love the narrating style.
I looked it up, he was a guy called Terence McGovern. He plays crix madine in the rogue squadron series.

I love this game, Y-wing all the way. :)
It is called "hangar".
you forgot the taboo starfighter
never got a voice over... guess it was taboo!
Only unlocked with a cheat code, so no surprise.
1: It's "Naboo", like the planet.
2: Yeah, they never gave it a voiceover. I'm guessing it was a last minute addition since the game was in development around the same time that The Phantom Menace was in production, and they decided to put it in there as a hidden easter egg.
Okay, I signed the petition. The next question is, will we be able to get enough people to sign it by the September 30th? If not, can we set it up on a different petition site? *basically, the one it's currently on will shut down September 30th, so make sure those who've signed it are aware so they can copy what they've said and paste it into a new petition if it comes down to it*
Who else remember putting in the cheat code to turn . . . I think it was the V-wing into a car?
Can't do it on PC, but you are right!
I avoided doing it period because it crashes the game when you pause while flying it
Greatest flight game ever penned
Guy in the background doing laps
Y-Wing for life.
okay, the auto fire feature for the Y-Wing. That wasn't an actual thing in game right?...
+DavidELD The ion cannon tried (pathetically) to auto aim at enemies in front, but it was pretty useless. It's not really clear if he was speaking about the ion cannon though (if not then no, it was not a thing)
The TIE Strike of Rogue-1 resembles a TIE Interceptor with the upper claw panels removed and the lower panels reoriented to lie flat.
if you update the game on the PC you get it or if on the N64 you type in 2 cheat codes
wheres the limo?
+RDarthur91 You need to put in a cheat to see it in the hanger
As great as the Millenium Falcon is, it's a pain trying to get Gold with it. You can't just fire away automatically with the quad guns and expect good results with how shaky the shots can be. At least the 15 homing torpedoes, weapon toggling(it resets the quad gun firing order so top shoots next each time it's pressed), and just plain ramming small targets due to high shielding and armor made it much more viable for that. Also, I believe shots can be a biiiiit more accurate if you go into 1st person... Just remember you're actually sitting on the far right of the ship when you do.
+MrMarket1987 it is more accurate in 1st person, but i'm not sure I would bother using the falcon to get golds on anything but the easier mission (such as the first couple). I always liked the Y-wing the best as it shoots so little that it is by far the most accurate (and if you want a little more firepower you just use the ions) and on Gerrard V you can beat the mission really quickly by taking down the yachts yourself, and use the bombs on those pesky AT-PTs! it also has the best shields and just looks amazing! Downsides are no missiles and its slow speed though :S
Oh, I mean in case someone's going for using it in general; Gotta make the most of your gear.
And yeah, I love the Y-Wing the most as is. On the plus side due to the game mechanics, chances are if you can see a target you could lock onto with torpedoes from a distance, you can hit it with your toggled double shot or general auto fire if you aim carefully(and since the Y-Wing is the slowest, you can probably exploit the extra time to keep your distance and snipe at them a bit if you know where to find them). As for the Ion Blaster, it's pretty good for extra firepower and aim in a dogfight, almost acting like a pseudo quad gun shot at full charge, but using it does still count towards the accuracy percentage, so one must be clever with each shot or burst unless you know you can hit a lot of targets at once with Advanced bombs elsewhere.
... I would only disagree on the best shields though. It relies on a droid for recovery, and it doesn't tank quite as much as the Millenium Falcon. Granted it is smaller, so it's easier to avoid certain obstacles at least when laying low for cover.
+MrMarket1987 Funny In my experience the Y-wing was the tougher, but i could be well be wrong! Y-wing is such as under appreciated fighter/bomber i have high hopes for seeing them again in the new starwars rogue one movie!
It's possible they're just as tough as the other then, or maybe I need to get hit more times again and count each, say... rocket hit within a certain timeframe. The thing about the droid does kinda make me favor the Millenium Falcon over the Y-Wing though, since it never stops regenerating health until it goes down as there is no droid to perma-damage.
One thing to note(though I suspect you know more given the enthusiasm for the starship); The Y-Wing participated during quite a few important events to say the least, and it's been in service for a LONG time since it even gets used during the Clone Wars when a team led by Anakin Skywalker cripples General Grievous' new battleship with a bombing run.
So... Yeah, I agree, it's a great old reliable ship that gets overshadowed by the fame of others, and as Reiken says: "Not quick or flashy, but it gets the job done."
+TheAirborneRogue Okay, I finally returned home and got to try out the two ships. I went to the Raid on Sullust stage, and no matter how many times I tested, the Millenium Falcon was always roughly able to resist 3 more missiles than the Y-Wing. I even tried to prevent the Y-Wing from being hit as often to let its shields recover a bit while deliberately taking more hits in the MF, and the MF still took more hits to take down in total. So... there you go. This was the N64 version by the way. If they're more similar in any other version, I know nothing of it.
Who is the voice that is announcing each fighter also if you put in the Corvette car he also talks about the Corvette
i know DLC really gets on my nerves, one of the worst ones is mass effect which needs you to buy dlc to unlock characters already in the game files and who are necessary for to get the best experience...
shame no B-wing though.
I'm with you here. This was the first Star Wars game I've ever played, but it could've been more fun if it included B-Wings.
There are B-Wings in Rogue Squadron II on GameCube.
Not true, I used to have a trainer that would do it... No Idea where I found it though
@Ebakthecat i could, i have all the games, i just need to figure out how to use my easy cap to record on my tv
