I feel it could’ve made the story that much better if Pepper and Peppy had actually died. Would’ve made it that much more tragic and desperate and make the final fight and defeat of the aparoids that much more satisfying. They definitely didn’t hesitate to kill off pigma, so might as well have gotten a couple other significant figures right? I kinda expected Wolf to die as well, but it was also at the same time reasonable for him to get away with the rest of his team as well, but there might have been a little bit of a missed opportunity by not pulling the plug on Pepper and Peppy. Would be like the closing off of a chapter I guess and entering into a new era for new stories. The story of Andross and his forces being defeated has concluded, and so the aparoids could have been a good transition point, because they would be defeated at the cost of the characters of that previous era, so it all would come full circle that much more and open the way for new characters to replace them all and open up new stories. Just my thoughts anyway.

@@VulpseiusFox yeah the whole death fake out reveal really knocked this one down a few points with me

one of the best scenes and the music ufff, match perfectly with situation "Peppy you can't die!!" music!*

Nintendo forced the devs to put that scene in at the end because they didn’t want a downer ending. I think it would’ve been better without it.

Soul Alpha reporting for duty, Peppy doesn't die, he just goes to the afterlife to regroup. Peppy was truly a black ops dude his age just shows how fit he was

We seem to be in the age of remakes for popular games and movies. Kinda sad, but there are still those occasional gems that do it right.

Lol

What exactly was new about it? It felt like Lylat Wars, but against the Borg. That's just re-hashed ideas too.

On foot and more fleshed out free range arwing and landmaster missions?

She felt like a Kirby final boss yeah

Plus her two music tracks are dramatic/heroic af

The transformation and assimilation of Pigma disturbed the hell out of me. Seeing him fused to this satellite, partially skeletal in the vacuum of space made it real and serious for me. I can remember being progressively more afraid and disturbed the closer I got to the center of the Aparoid home world. The Queen still scares me and can spook me at night when there's no lights, you're headed to bed, etc, you know what I'm talking about.

Even worse. Giygas had several redeeming qualities and the dark matter lack moral agency. She’s also more evil than Andross.

Plus there’s also the fact that she would’ve won if Star Fox gave in and were assimilated.

To me, they felt like a fusion of the Borg from Star Trek and Replicators from Stargate. Still interesting though.

In reality, those things are scary. They can parasite machines and people... even planets, like they homeworld. Just put yourself in Pigma or Pepper's shoes.

@@NoctiTheBiologist theyre alot more menacing than the Flood from Halo since they can infect things that arent organic and transform them. Imagine if SF Assault was a high budget game.

@@upy0ur5 funny that you mentioned the Flood from Halo, I personally think that the Aparoids are Star Fox's version of the Flood from Halo as they both infect both living organic life forms and machines and uses them to it's advantage and spread further, only differently. Whether the Aparoids return or not is up in the air, despite knowing the Aparoids got destroyed along with their homeworld.

The Aparoids are actually a homage to the insect-like enemies from Galaxian and Galaga. Since Namco was the company that created the game, it’s kind of a crossover of starfox vs those type of enemies.

I know right? This game had such an awesome look to it. And the concept behind the gameplay was amazing for the time. Imagine if they tried making a game just like this, but with today's standards?

I cry every time.

Me too

@@Jenninja17 that is thee most important thing too see

@@Jenninja17 This seems to be the Mario 2 and Zelda 2 of the 2000's. A sequel that is a bit too different from fan's love of the previous title that got a rather mixed response on arrival but sold fine.

ikr 😂

Yeh

It's stupidly linear. There is no more than one way to reach the ending.

At least it has a fully fledged story in contrast to the others (save Adventures)! Only ten levels, but still.

64 and Adventures were better. This game overhypes anything. "We're so cool we're wearing brightly colored spacesuits like we're hip young superheroes" Plus this game was TOO Japanese. It had too much of an anime influence on it. 64 may have had some Gundam inspired stuff in it, but it was actually cool and not overdone. 64 had influence from a variety of space movies and shows like Star Wars, Star Trek, etc. I mean for christsakes, the Arwing stuff in Adventures was cooler than this shit. The only thing good about this game is Krystal's sexy blue spacesuit and SOME of the music(like Wolf's theme)

Ron Johnson dude... stop reposting. This game doesn't overhype anything, and the fact you have to compare 64 to gundam actually degrades the game. The game itself can't be compared. It's great in its own way. I love 64 but this assault actually tops it. If they remade this series or the switch, or continued the story, it'd be so much better.

Ron Johnson get off of KZfaq.. pleas get off ignorant ass lmao looking like an Asian grandpa.. no one has time for your pettiness

That's the kind of opening the Star Wars sequel trilogy should've had: the good guys' fleet having the bad guys' on the ropes

+TheHero136 An anime would be better. Nintendo is sitting on a bunch of intellectual properties that are going to waste.

They are going to make movies now just FYI...

you got that right. an anime would be much better then some cheap puppet. not saying puppets are bad, but it wouldn't work for the star fox series.

Yeah... Dozens of MARIO movies.

@@jennymilagrossalcedobe2952 Command isn't canon

@@arceusthecreator9746 At least is more cannonic than Zero and StarLink

ADiscerningDunmer lel

Heat is different then strong winds. Plus that wasn't really a sun, more of a magma plant.

@@antoniobrice And the strong winds are a very big problem, because any fliying ship, no matter if is in space or anything, can't stand a strong air current, because if any flies into that strong air, he will doesn't get alive so easily because it will get no stable and the ship will be like out of control

I find the faked deaths of Pepper and Peppy as missed opportunities tbh.

And then they all magically survive anyway in typical kids story fashion. I didn't like that, even as a kid.

yeah it's a good thing star fox and star wolf got rid of the queen and it's better to coexist sorta like fox and wolf i think both of them have a great brotherly rivalry even though they're completely different kind of canines

@@john34261 its just a matter of respect and skill beetween those 2, fox wont kill wolf as wolf never seems to want to kill fox, while fox seems like hes serious against wolf, it always seems hes having fun against him. They both seem to just want someone who can give them a true challenge, not holding back.

@@eduardojara6955 so you're saying both of them want to challenge eachother to see who's the best pilot while not holding anything back except killing eachother?

+Alec Doherty I feel like its the opposite, assault had acceptable gameplay but the assault storyline and characterization is absolute garbage.

Alec Doherty The voice acting was terrible though...

I do admit it was good, but Command messed everything up, so we really needed a reboot.

Medachod I liked Command. Command's storyline is a brilliant way to end a storyline. It has a whole bunch of different endings, giving players choices on how they want the storyline to end.

@@PrayingSeraph said no one ever

+CWAC Me too. It feels so real and believable. Guess they were using some kind of motion capture?

Adventures had way better expressions. Assault only makes use of that kind of motion for CGI cutscenes and mission briefings, so everyone looks stiff outside of them (as they only open their mouths and blink during gameplay portions).

Play the Japan Assault. Characters are more expressive there.

Best star fox game of all time

There is a great Freespace mod that scratches the lore itch

I mean, zero was pretty terrible so that's really not saying much, but I do feel like this game is a bit underrated too.

Star Fox zero best explosions fight me

Star Fox Zero had a sad case of looking good and sounding good, but not playing good. It talked the talk, but didn’t walk the walk.

Roberto Rodriguez I thought it was more a tribute to the Nintendo president that died and really just to test the waters on how they could develop later games rather than a full on reboot and restart of the series for a new time line anyway. As far as I’ve read and seen, it’s just expanding more on 64 rather than completely trashing and overhauling everything. I pray that’s the case because if it is a complete restart, God I will NOT be happy. It would be sad too because since the game wasn’t received all that greatly, it could cause the same fate as to what happened with Metroid. A real major drought where maybe a spin-off or two may appear but nothing mainstream. (Star Fox Racing game rumor... I’m looking at you...) And especially with Star Fox Command previously being deemed as not cannon as of right now (thank god)... the story we have right now is still really on a cliff hanger. So hopefully Zero is just an equivalent of say Zero Mission and Samus returns, which instead was meant to expand and improve the original story rather than completely restart the whole thing, and hopefully eventually there will be an actual canonically sequel to assault.

Then you see his Zero's character and then go to Starlink and... Geeeeeeeeeeeze, dude took a dark turn.

AuraChannelerChris Honestly, words cannot describe how much I LOATHE how Wolf was treated in StarLink. A galactic conqueror who wants to take over Corneria? Miss me with that bullshit. This is not Wolf, this is Andrew or even Pigma. Wolf being forced into the "big, bad villain" role is something I never want to see because Wolf works better as an antagonistic, but moral crimelord doing his own thing, not being reverted right back to Square One, but worse. I really hope that if a new Star Fox game is made, Wolf is given better treatment and hopefully his personality from Assault is expanded upon.

Eh, at least Starlink was just a spin-off, so it's not totally Nintendo's take on him.

AuraChannelerChris Still, Ubisoft has a lot to make up for if they're gonna make another SF game. Not just with Wolf, but making a Star Fox game that doesn’t have the SF characters thrown in as a gimmick. Nintendo has been sitting on this series for far too long now and they should really consider making a new game that isn't another 64 rehash.

They need to kiss already.

Indeed.

"I love how Tricky calls Fox out for his relationship with Krystal. Even someone as “dumb” as a dinosaur knows that Fox and Krystal like each other!" Admittedly he was far more diplomatic than how I would have done it: "Would y'all just shut your faces, quit yapping, and fuck already!?"

When she givin ya da tr0llfaic

Tricky: I'll take care of things here, so you two can go back on your honeymoon! Fox: oAo; Crystal: ewe

I'm not furry, but...cheeks are cheeks

@@Minuey are you gonna clap those cheeks?

+Jeremy Knight Unfortunately, it seems they really don't want to continue the stuff that happened in Adventures. And somehow, I think they just want to make people forget about this series.

+AuraChannelerChris who knows, they could be just testing the waters with Zero. If that does well, then they could make another game with Krystal and Panther coming back. last time I checked, Zero wasn't a reboot of the cannon, just a retelling of 64. plus it doesn't seem like they want people to forget about Adventures and Assault since there's trophies of both Krystal and Panther in Smash 4. but at the same time, it does feel like Nintendo acts like those games never happend due to 64 being so popular, while the games after that either were overshadowed for trying something diffrent or just being OK.

+Jeremy Knight Actually from what I've heard Zero isn't a remake/reboot but rather a direct sequel to 64, meaning it takes place after 64 and before Adventures, but given that's just a rumor I'm taking it with a grain of salt.

+Jeremy Knight I think the fact that Adventures and Assault had 3rd party co-developers might also be a factor why they're not promoting those as much as they used to. Why I'm not sure but I think it might be a factor nonetheless.

+ilikethecokev2 It's probably because Adventures and Assault are generally OK games, nothing to really write home about other than the story and new characters like Krystal and Panther. while they didn't add much, their at least likeable.

A serious leader. Outside of that facade, he's rather sexist, hot-blooded, and doesn't quite think things through when they will keep affecting him in the long term. It leads me to think his father was rather lousy in raising him right.

Compared to Star Fox zero where he has no personality

+TheAdminSlayer He never had a personality outside adventure and assault.

I don't think it was because of the way James raised Fox. Of course, there is no possible way to be a perfect parent of course, but let's not forget, Fox's dad died when Fox was still a teenager, a time in your life when your still going through puberty. Also, don't forget Fox also had a mother, who died when Fox was still a kid, leaving James a single father. Anyways, Fox was an only child that went through so many years without his mother and father in his life, and the only thing that kept him going in life was his goal to avenge his father by killing Andross, who was responsible for all of Fox's pain. Sure, he had Peppy to look after him but it probably wasn't the same for Fox (and I bet that might be the reason Peppy keeps bringing up the memory of James to Fox and being all "what would your father think?" If he did something wrong.) Anyways, I think much of Fox's personality stems from all the losses he's had in his life. This pretty much also applies to how he treats Krystal in the later games. I don't think he was being sexist, he was just simply worried he would lose Krystal like he lost his father, which is understandable in a way especially since Krystal doesn't seem to have as much piloting experience as the rest of the Star Fox team. Fox, meanwhile, is not sexist. He certainly didn't display any sexism whenever Katt would help them out during the Lylat Wars, I know that for a fact. Though I do agree in the fact that Fox has flaws. From what I see of him, he tends to get cocky, and trigger happy, and seems to always be concerned about how much he's being paid for doing his job. He also seems rather overprotective of Krystal in a way, and I don't blame him, though I wouldn't be surprised if his son Marcus ever got annoyed at him for this, if Fox and Krystal were to get married of course. (P.S. Sorry for the overly long explanation. I get carried away sometimes. Lol)

He's sexist, except the way he shows that is by saying the wroooooooong things to Krystal of all people. She's a much better pilot than Slippy, for one, and many can attest to that. Command shows that his worry for Krystal is a biiiiiiiiiiiit too much. I may be wrong on the hot-blooded part, but it's implied this happens between him and Falco. The comics expand on that.

That's the funniest part:D

I'll Go With Tricky Idea! XD

I sense Fox and Krystal's wedding xD

As someone who loved Star Fox Adventures as a kid, I agree

DarkLilty501 shame this franchise is laying low for a while. We'll never see these two get together anytime soon

I guess the Arwings can resist the heat, but cold is out of the question.

AuraChannelerChris airplanes have the same issues

Well perhaps Fichina is very windy during blizzards, so flying can be difficult.

Not to mention the blizzard makes it harder to see very far, making flying even more risky.

Yeah. Let's DO THIS!

Here we go, team!

38:20 Fox: Peppy, you mustn’t.

Especially when it came out

Criminally so.

Hell to the yes.

@@AuraChannelerChris Fox, Falco, wolf, and peppy are thr best. For me these are there definitive voices, more on wolf and Fox, Wolf sounds so Badass and Fox sounds mature, but still a little inexperienced

Slippy even. He may not be the best character, but he had seen the light of day here, more goofy sounding than childish af

@@uktthe_king_fish5769 yeah sounds less annoying

Interesting thought. That certainly could’ve been possible.

More than likely from Pigma. He knew James and Peppy. Probably pulled both voices from his memories

the voice acting is just spot on

Except it needs a major rework and Nintendo has all but dropped the timeline of this game.

Yeah that way I'd kiss StarLink goodbye.

Unfortunately, as a game, it wasn't underrated but rather flawed.

Make another star fox game with ground based combat

As long as it's the same story quality, because gameplay quality? Nope.

@Commander J She's destined to, But it's called 0 as in it's just the battle rethought out.

There’s some hope, Wolf got back in Smash, Krystal is an assist trophy in Smash, and they added Star Fox DLC to Starlink, so they may make a game like assault in the future. Hopefully!

I guess because for one its a staple of both Star Fox and the Sci-fi genre and because all the dialog is important be it because it comes from others on the Battle field with you or from Characters that give important information to enemies, mission goals and story while all coming off as very professional.

Well because the characters in in Sonic Forces arent taking the situation very seriously like at all as they all make jokes about thier kind dying. Now Fox and his team take the Aparoids very seriously as they almost never joke around about it. To SF it just feels like another day to them with Eggman being an idiot as usual

Lmfao @ everybody writing paragraphs explaining this random ass feeling to OP.

Same thing with this game and sonic 06 but with motion capture. The motion capture in this game was tolerable but for some reason the motion capture in sonic 06 felt very off. My best guess is because the design of Sonic characters are way more exaggerated than Star Fox characters.

@@gothxm They right tho

*Lylat System (I hate KZfaq red)

One of those special relationships where you respect your opponent so much that you grow to actually NEED them as a “frenemy” because otherwise you just lose your purpose really and life is no longer fun for you. So ironic. Your goal is to take down your opponent, but you know that if you kill them, then what do you do then? And then when it comes to a time to put aside your differences and fight for the common good, you wouldn’t really have that powerful counterpart to tag up with then. So basically you have to purposely not kill each other even though that’s your goal, and if it comes to it, even save each others’ lives and fight together instead. Lol

@@VulpseiusFox But see thats what I like about Wolf. He acts all tough but being around Fox and his team has softened him up. Its like u said they have a frenemy rivalry going on here.
