clicking on this video, I was expecting a typical, calm, level-headed retrospective of a beloved video game franchise. once he started talking about the rumble pak that quickly went out the window

That whole Miyamoto segment sounded painfully accurate, but I still give my respect and props to the man

Shigeru "Innovation" Miyamoto Jesus christ dude my sides

"I've been waiting longer than Half Life 3 for all this shit." Facts.

Star Fox Assault's OST is one of the greatest game soundtracks of all time.

I love how in this video he started off calm, and at the end he went absolutely crazy.

The fate of Star Fox is depressing... but I always get hyped for a HyperCharge video. Show some love to your man Sam and smash that Like button so he can keep smashing pssy like a boss.

The moment I get a notification of a video of yours, my day gets a million times better

Great Rant, I died laughing at the “They changed their Arwings into FZero racing machines”,

the starfox command segment was perfect

This underrated channel better not die

more like star fox zero outta ten amirite

All the hate on Starfox Adventures but....I love it 🥺 Honestly all this video came across to me as is “it’s not SF64, it’s bad” Ill agree the games after Assault were....unsavory to say the least, but I still say Adventures and Assault were great for what they are

This is the exact kind of video we all needed and the one this series deserves. About a guy yelling at a Japanese celebrity who'll never listen to him, to complain about how he is sabotaging our childhood's game.

Always a pleasure to watch your videos, thanks for uploading, I thoroughly enjoyed

I'll never know how you don't have more views, these videos crack me up! Never change (or innovate)!

Dude you're FUNNY. The part of Star Fox command fucking killed me😂😂. I know this video is kinda old, but I hope ypu keep making videos like this every once in a while. blessings brother

HyperCharge bringing the quality as usual, great video man

Released a video on my birthday! Thanks, keep the amazing content coming!

Note: I've watched the nine different endings and have a small knowledge to Star Fox Command, but this is how I'd write it: We can keep characters like Katt, Bill, Amanda, and Dash, as well as the original cast. Anyway, General Pepper is murdered, can keep the fact that he barely survived from the aparoid infection, and Peppy is hand selected to be the new general. Around this time, Skippy is with Amanda. Weeks later, Falco is accused of the murder and is arrested-NOT SOME "I'M BORED. I'M OUTTA HERE" BULL. As Fox, Krystal, Slippy, and Peppy fight to clear Falco's name, Amanda's mom died of cancer so Slippy goes to that Aqua planet, forget the name. So, that leaves Fox and Krystal. INSTEAD OF A DUMB FOX YELLING KRYSTAL SHE CAN NO LONGER BE ON THE TEAM... they get a call from Peppy to investigate a distress call. The foxes go and, drum roll please, it was a trap. Krystal goes missing and Fox has to escape without her, which crushes him. Then, things get worse. Falco is found guilty and will receive the death penalty. Fox has beem searching for traces of Krystal but to no avail. Slippy and Peppy try to comfort Fox but he won't listen. He feels like a failure and that he's lost two of friends. The night Falco is to be executed, there is a jailbreak. Falco is rescued by none other than...Katt Monroe! Fox gets word of it, a little overjoyed tgat Falco escaped the death penalty but worried he'll get killed now that he's an escaped convict. Two days later, Fox gets a message from Falco who claims he knows where Krystal. Fox, sceptical at first, decides to rendezvous Falco, not letting Peppy know, what with posdibly his position being compromised. He tells Slippy who would need to cover Fox in case anything happens. Fox meets Falco at Zoness base. He is now missing. Slippy, now only with Amanda, the two of them now searching for their missing friends. This is when the adventure begins. Edit: there are a few youtube vids I left similar thoughts in the comment section. This one's a little different but it still has the same premise. What do you guys think?

*"Huh? Who's this idiot?"* *"Quiet Bird-"* *"What was that?!?"*

I feel like Starfox Assault laid the groundwork for Nintendo to have their own equivalent of Halo Multiplayer. But of course Nintendo doesn’t know how the internet works so it’ll never happen.

listening to this guy spiral into total and absolute fucking FURY is a special kind of content

Assault was a good game, easily the best story in the franchise.

Well, this video earned you a new Subscriber for externalizing everyone’s collective rage and disdain for Star Fox Zero in the same video that heaped on praise and adoration for Star Fox 64 (rightfully so).

I'm tired of Star Fox fans not being greatful. I actually love Star Fox adventures because Fox McCloud finally got out of his damn cockpit. Do you want him in a damn cockpit 24/7? And I don't understand why people hate Assault like what. And where the fuck is a new Star Fox game going come?! *sigh* why can't people ever be greatful

HyperCharge coming out with a new video is the best E3 Event!

24:32 holy fuck hahahahaha I mean when you put it that way

It's a shame at how Miyamoto managed to ruin Star Fox Zero which heavily implies that the Star Fox series is dead in the water, alongside with franchises like F-Zero, Wario Land, Custom Robo, etc.

This channel is so underrated... i like your content

I can testify that what he says is all I want too. I want Starfox 64 rail shooter/branching path goodness, but with new levels, a new bad guy, and maybe a new unique ship level (like the 2 landmaster levels and aquamarine). AND no motion controls. That would honestly be perfect.

a Kirby: Crystal Shards video would be the hypest shit . nice vid bro keep going the good work!

One good thing about Star Fox 64 is that the compression on the audio actually adds to the experience rather than detracts due to that being how actual radio transmissions sound.

Good shit as always, homie. Can't wait for the eventual F-Zero retrospective. I know you'll have a field day, hahaha! And THANK YOU for addressing the Miyamoto elephant in the room. He keeps ruining good things! They need to keep that creative director from Odyssey on board if there's ever another Paper Mario. That's a step in the right direction, since it finally had original characters again.

And you all thought the Metroid fans were having a hard time. Jeez.

Starfox is that one friend who peaked in highschool and can't stop talking about how much fun highschool was but hasn't noticed they're already in their late 30's

just found your channel, your content is amazing, boutta binge!

Star Fox 64 was legendary. Moral of the story: sometimes doing the same thing over again but better is better than trying to re-invent something thats simple but already works very well

I liked the dinosaur Star Fox tbh, but it woulda been sick to have more classic star fox stuff

Congrats on getting banjo kazzooie in smash

Bro these videos are hysterical love them!!! 🤘🤘🤘 Look forwards to seeing if you do an f Zero video keep up the good work

You mean Star Fox: Zero Eff... Never mind this jokes been made already

I feel you. It's like being a Sonic fan who just wanted 3D sonic to be his adventure stages but had to suck nob

I don't know how it took me so long to find this channel. This is the single best review I've ever heard

Your channel is so underrated

I actually kind of liked the ground based missions in Assault and I am old enough to have played the original, but I will say I enjoyed the 3 rail missions were my absolute favs. The ideal sequel to 64, imho, is a game that has 3 or 4 different endings branching from 3 different paths (paths like 64) and each level builds on the story in a different way. The final ending (4) is the true ending where everything turns out great. Now I do think the story cutscenes in Assault were a bit too lengthy, but I appreciated the interlude before missions. That kind of dialogue would be INCREDIBLY more impactful if there were 3 different routes which can be switched around depending on missions' objectives rather than the repetitive 1 track story. So, to summarize, the ideal Starfox game to me would have 80% rail Arwing missions (64), a branching story with multiple endings (64, Command), have short cutscenes to help the player understand where they are in the story (Assault) and have a high score counter to encourage speedrunning/repeat plays to find the best routes. It doesn't even need new shit. It just needs to take the shit that's good and make it happen together.

Man I just wish nintendo would take the best from 64 and assault into one game release it with a good story and call it a day

I love Assault!!

Great video, man.

32:10 is fucking golden

i love how you just go crazy as the video goes on lol

Star Fox assault was awesome, it was just as good as 64. It definitely scratched my Star Fox itch back in the day.

you make my day dude

I live for your fucking rants dude. Please never stop doing this!

I was waiting for a new Video from you :)

You put a lot of effort in your scripts and videos, very nice!

This is the best Star Fox retrospective

Nintendo’s excessive reliance on gimmicks as main selling points is what caused potentially long-running franchises like Star Fox to be forgotten by time. It’s kind of sad, because that’s Nintendo’s MO. Sometimes you don’t have to do a complete overhaul or introduce a new gameplay mechanic that needs expensive peripherals. There are times when less is more. A clear example of that is Metal Slug, which still holds up to this day while carrying the same old core mechanics. It took SNK 10 years to add two more characters and different stats for each.

Thank you. Just, THANK YOU!

Thank you soo much man...I seem to never be disappointed with your videos!!! I would like to request some retrospectives: Metroid Series Kirby (maybe) Super Monkey Ball Final Fantasy Animal Crossing God Of War

I agree so hard. But I'm here for your personality regardless

Oh hey what's up man, glad to hear from you

Wasn’t it cool how Crash Bandicoot will be a playable smash bros character? Also, great video. I love to see that you’re still making great content.

You just want the same game over and over.

I actually enjoy Skyward Sword and find Assault to be a respectable entry into the Star Fox series fight me

I hate to do this, because I’m a Star Fox lover as well, but I’m going to throw a comment I saw on another video in here. Has everyone fucking forgot, that Fox is a fucking bounty hunter? Of course there’s going to be on foot missions. He can’t just fly around in a ship shooting the whole time. Yes it’s fun, but after a while don’t you think you’d get bored? I know I would. Again, this is coming from someone who likes the Star Fox series. Hell… I’ve played Star Fox 64, and more recently Star Fox, and Star Fox 2, (Thanks NSO), and I’ve enjoyed it. But I also want more than just flying around in a ship and shooting shit in space.

I missed the notification, but.... AYYYY HYPE TRAIN

Very accurate discription on snes classic. Its been doing a phenomenal job collecting dust at my apartment.

Every time I get back into StarFox 64 to try to beat my scores, I rewatch this video. It makes me feel better about the fate of StarFox lol

This guy is underrated

I kinda agree about the fan-ficy story of Commands but was that "Panther is basically black guy who stole Fox gf" comparison necessary? I tend to dislike love triangle but I don't think this metaphor was needed.

After watching this (it was great), is it wrong that now I want to see a retrospective on the DK series?

I really wish Star Fox Zero had a secret ending where Fox gets cucked by a cool black guy

God...damn...the rage and hatred is strong with this one.😅😰

You're 100% correct on Star Fox Assault having the multiplayer as its focus: it was originally going to have an arcade version and sport online multiplayer as a selling point, both of which got axed. As for Command, I'm shocked you didn't mention its biggest problem: it's boring as fuck because it's the same shit for way too long, with no variety in mission objectives or enemy and level design. I won't go on about Zero, but it stands out to me as one of the few games where I actively struggled with the controls and consciously decided to put it down. If Star Fox wasn't always distracted by game-consuming gimmicks, we'd probably have cool, organic features like full co-op, ship upgrades, galaxy exploration, smart use of on-foot sections, online leaderboards, and actually interesting stories. The absence of co-op especially pisses me off because it's a fucking series about a group of four pilots and it _still_ hasn't let you and your friends save the galaxy together!

The alternate reality if Star Fox were killing it or treated just as well as the Zelda series. They would've given more then one team to Star Fox. One for the on rails arcade game, and another team for a more action and story oriented approach like Assault and Star Fox 2. Like how Zelda started off as a 2d top down adventure but once Ocarina of Time rolled around, and started making 3d games, Nintendo would still keep the 2d games alive on the handhelds.

Hey dude. This is some Top Tier shit 10/10

Do we think an actual on rails Starfox would sell today? I can just see a new Starfox. "Huge new open world sandbox game play! Upgrade your Arwing with loot crates and don't forget your battle pass!"

Like how Star Fox 64 is a reboot of Star Fox snes i think they could've made Star Fox reboot of Star Fox 2 which would be a true sequel to Star Fox 64 back then. And sure they may had to change some stuff like changing the villain since Andross would be dead in 64 but you know.

Feel the same about F-Zero. The stubbornness from Nintendo about not being able to push the envelope with the series has left without a game for years. Don't care just want a new F-Zero!

Welp, another banger by HyperCharge. I can’t believe how little respect this channel gets. Is it the swearing? Cuz AVGN is basically nothing but profanity. It baffles me.

you give me classic AVGN vibes

I liked assault and dinosaur planet

That reminds me that I never did unlock the on-foot mode for Star Fox 64's multiplayer mode

This channel rules and deserves literally 1000x more subscribers

The only people I will ever trust to make another StarFox game is the very dedicated fans, (much like the people who made Sonic Mania) yes the series is in that situation.

I ready for this.😤

This vid is awesome

Bro these are my exact feelings about starfox Make a second galaxy after venom and bring in new levels, planets, characters with branching paths and boom New star fox

Assault is the one I wanna play the most but Nintendo don't wanna give me the chance. Shoutouts to Starfox 2 release though

36:38 great now I’m depressed when you put it like that way. That photoshopped star fox Zelda game idea hurts because it’s so good

I’ll never understand Nintendo’s “it has to have some new innovation to justify making it” attitude toward revisiting old series. I’d do anything for a new F-zero but I remember an interview where Nintendo said “why? What new thing could we do with it?” Nothing! Just making a fun flashy racing game that is a feast for my eyes with killer music!!

That last line hits home hard

13:31 when your teacher gives you extra homework.

WOOO! HYPERCHARGE!!

SF64 is a legendary classic

This is incredible.

I'm pretty sure "Star Fox 64 3D" sold pretty will considering it recently got a "Nintendo Selects" reprint.

Star Fox 64 is definitely in my top 5 games of all time.

It looks like The dragon quest heroes and banjo kazooie got into smash. And if i recall correctly i think those are the two you didn't really care if they got in. What are your thoughts on there inclusion?
