Posted July 29, 2011 I thought I read somewhere that they got the original voice actors back. You may well have done... but it seems their sources are wrong unless the changes in the voices are really just due to the VA's getting older. But even then, I doubt they'd be off as much as they are. The Japanese cast, as taken from the credits, has been confirmed to be all new. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 13, 2011 Decided to put down my pre-order for this! Never played Lylat Wars on the N64 (shocking i know!) and from the trailer it looks good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 13, 2011 Same here - the only StarFox games I've played are Adventures and Assault, so the best is definitely yet to come! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 13, 2011 Have you played any of the other Starfox games, Mike? I've been pretty fond of all of them, actually.. but you're definitely in for a treat with this one Lylat Wars is by far the highlight of the series.. why isn't this called Lylat Wars 3D over here..?

Posted August 13, 2011 Yeah I haven't played it properly either. I've played a couple of levels, and have played the multiplayer (which I actually seem to remember quite enjoying?), but not the single player properly. I'm kind of interested in this, but I can't help but feel I'd be buying it just to play something? I don't think it's been sold to me yet though. Does it have much replayability?

Posted August 13, 2011 It depends what type of gamer you are, Retro_Link.. The game is designed to played from start to finish in one sitting but there are multiple paths you can take based on your decisions throughout certain stages and there are medals awarded for getting a good score in each level A few years ago, I was blasting through it probably once or twice a week for a while just because it was really fun going through the whole thing and trying to improve your performance. I feel like I haven't played in in so long now, though, which almost makes this a tempting purchase I'll likely end up playing it on the N64 in the coming weeks instead, though..

Posted August 14, 2011 I can't count how many times I played through the game back on the N64, it's got high replayability and because it's short and the multiple routes you can take just make it feel fresh each time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 31, 2011 My copy of this arrived today, and I was able to tear myself away from Xenoblade for half an hour to give it a go. Pretty impressive so far, although I don't like the gyro controls. So far I'm up to the first Landmaster level - the level that has the most impressive 3D so far IMO. I'm hoping to have a go on multiplayer later this evening. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted August 31, 2011 Multiplayer with who? My wife - it's single cart, isn't it? And believe it or not, she actually as the upper hand, as she had it on the N64! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 1, 2011 Them overhaulling the multiplayer as they have and not including online is the biggest mis-step in a game so far :/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 1, 2011 As I've said before - they didn't include online because "we'd all buy it anyway". Which is sad but yeah... we're all going to buy it whether it has online or not aren't we? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 1, 2011 The thing is, if this game was coming out on XBLA or on the PS3 there'd be absolutely no question of not including online. Online is standard now except for on Nintendo consoles. They're so far behind it's unreal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted September 4, 2011 I never played the original, and am absolutely spoiler free, so I can't wait to play the best starfox game ever played Fox dies in the first level. Lulz.

Posted September 4, 2011 IGN Review - 9.0 http://uk.ds.ign.com/articles/119/1192306p1.html The use of 3D is stunning. The added depth looks fantastic, and it's pretty incredible barreling through space as meteors and lasers jump out at you. Closing Comments This impressive remake of Star Fox 64 manages to improve upon the original without compromising the magic that made it so memorable to begin with. It’s too bad the multiplayer doesn’t support online, because otherwise it’s the perfect remake of this classic title. Even for those who played the original to death, it’s well worth the $40 price tag to see a Nintendo classic fully reimagined, and all of the additions (upgraded graphics, great new controls, etc.) make it well worth revisiting. With fast action, thrilling levels, memorable characters, and plenty of fun and laughs to enjoy, it’s a must have for any 3DS owner, and yet another prime reason to invest in the system for those still on the fence.

If this had a sold, no sorry a GOOD online multiplayer mode it would make this title a significant system seller. It sounds like it really captures the 3D well and the new textures do it a lot of justice so it demonstrates what the platform can do very well. It having online would have inspired other people to have through the "friends" effect that Sony and Microsoft have done well to exploit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 4, 2011 Have to agree, there. I've dreamed of having Star Wars style dog-fights in space or in Corneria. A massive online experience where you have Starwing/Fox coming up against Andross' army and Starwolf. In fact, why has such a game not been created yet? It sounds a billion times more exciting and interesting than the countless FPS borefests we're subjected to instead. Every kid who watched Star Wars or played Starwing when growing up dreamed this kind of game. It's tragic that we've never seen anything like it. Nintendo are awesome when it comes to Mario and Zelda. But, whenever it's one of the "lesser" known franchises, it runs the risk of getting treated like leprosy. How else can we explain the terrible Starfox Command? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
