    You left off the fact that the rumble pak was the revolutionary selling point of Starfox 64. At this point in 1997 this technology was a new experience and it was a game changer so much that Sony used the technology in 1998 with the Dual Sense 1 controller for PlayStation 1. From that point forward every game system would include rumble in the controllers.

    Amazing analysis of this game, this was definitely a childhood favorite, I still get the feels when I hear the Star fox theme.

    I don't remember what the trophy system was for this game. Ribbons or Gold? But I remember that when you got one for each level you unlocked an on-foot character for multiplayer. So originally you would play with just the regular air-based fighters. I don't remember what you had to do to unlock the tank, but I think it was just beating the game. But if you went for 100, you got an on-foot character that was only armed with a bazooka of some sort. You basically had your regular fire and secondary fire just like the other vehicles, but now you were on foot. I never got to play this with friends too often, but when we did it was truly interesting. It worked surprisingly well, and it was something else trying to find a starfox character on foot while flying around. It was also fairly satisfying hitting a flying object while on foot. I can't stress enough how much I loved this game. Finding the real andross was in itself a crazy experience all together. I trust I'll be seeing a video about Golden eye if I keep watching, right?

    One of my top 5 games from back in the day.. can still beat this on every route easily with my eyes closed. Back in the day got all the medals even, first time i ever achieved a 'platinum' run!

      Did you ever play around with the on-foot characters that you unlocked for multiplayer when you did that?

    It sure didn’t feel like a rail shooter

    Pretty decent episode. I like how you actually do answer the question you pose. That's pretty neat. You might want to look at audio mixing a bit, since there's some dead air when you aren't talking. Show a cool scene with full music and sound effects and fade out when you start talking again or something ^^
    I think that could help.

      Thanks for the advice, man! We keep toying with the transitions, but we're having trouble shortening them without making things feel a bit too abrupt.

    Can you do an ep on Demon’s Crest? One of the peak SNES games

    I have to admit, I played Star Fox Assault before I played Star Fox 64, and I kind of prefer the former to the latter. Maybe I ought to give Star Fox 64 another shot sometime, try to "get good" at it, as they say. After all, there's a reason why they keep using this as the template for all future Star Fox games (for better or for worse, in the case of Star Fox Zero).

    I used to love this game. Star Wolf gave me the finger after I shot him down for the 1 millionth time.

      I used to feel like an ace fighter pilot as a kid whenever I wrecked his squad. Got faster and faster at it everytime. Loved the starwolf fights. The one on the other planet was much more intense.

    During the SNES and N64 eras, I always thought StarFox was a better IP than Mario Kart.
    Afterwards, StarFox tried too many different things, and Mario Kart continues to surpass it to this day, and we still don't have a legit StarFox game that keeps what SF64 did so well. 🤷🏻‍♂️
