Good lawd, I remember that one for SF64.) The glimpse of Star Fox 2 was a real treat, as well.
STAR FOX 64 SERIES
Great episode, love this series and loved the extra bits you guys brought in (such as the N64 VHS commercial… thing. Even if I wanted to do the hard path, I’d usually warp past it. Kind of reminds me of Toe Jam & Earl even.ĥ) The fact that I can barely remember Titania’s music reminds me of how much I always skipped it. But alas, I don’t think Corneria and Fortuna are characters.Ĥ) Fortuna’s Music is such a reflection on the times with that early-90s hip-hop sound. Prepare for launch.” My childhood friend who introduced me to the game always said it was “Easy aiming fighters, prepare for launch,” which never quite made sense to me, but I believed it up until about 15 minutes ago.ģ) I thought maybe there was a Shakespearean character naming trend for the planets, because I had to read A Midsummer Night’s Dream in 8th grade, which has a character named Titania, which of course made me immediately think of Star Fox. I learned fairly recently that he also did the Super Metroid intro, which made me recognize him in the scramble just now.Ģ) This ep made me remember to finally look up what is actually being said during the scramble – “Incoming enemy fighters. I haven’t finished the episode yet (I like to space them across weekends doing housework), but a couple random thoughts on Star Fox 1:ġ) Dan Owsen, who seemed to be in the credits for localization stuff for like every 90s Nintendo game, did the voiceover for the Corneria Scramble. With a little luck the franchise will stick around for more installments. Star Fox has seen better days and Zero might not have been the glorious return everyone had hoped for.
STAR FOX 64 PC
Some PC games like Wing Commander had toyed around with the squadron idea, but Nintendo made the team dynamic so fun and memorable. Together with that rousing StarFox theme it instilled a sort of Top-Gun style pride of being part of an ace flying wing. There was nothing about Gradius, Thunderforce or Afterburner that made you think and wonder about their settings and scenarios.īut in Starfox, having you be a part of a bantering squad injected a ton of flavor. Very rarely do schmups and space shooters have any significant lore or characters that can bring the universe to life. Shoot em ups are mostly abstract affairs about some solitary ship fighting against endless, faceless armadas. Overall I love the colorful personality of the Starfox franchise.
Starfox 2 has some really catchy and interesting songs on it as well and I definitely second the opinion of StarFox: Assault and it’s awesome orchestral symphonies. I wonder if there was some Nintendo office-politics involved once Kondo took over?
The N64 is a better game, but I never took to the soundtrack and I’ve always been disappointed that Hirasawa’s songs never saw any more usage, outside of the occasional nod on the Smash Brothers stages. The original StarFox (or StarWing as I knew it), was a seminal game for me and that glorious soundtrack is still one of my all time favorite video game scores.
