Star Fox™ launches today on Nintendo Switch 2! Velan Studios developed this game and expanded the story in collaboration with Nintendo because Fox McCloud and his crew deserve nothing less. It’s out now. www.nintendo.com/store/produc... #StarFox #NintendoSwitch2
You nailed it fellas. Great work! Hope you get more chances to work in this universe.
I played tonight and on my second run now. Star Fox 64 is the game I've played more than any other since it released on my 13th birthday - You nailed it. You absolutely nailed it with this game and I couldn't have asked for anything more. Thanks for such an awesome job!
So proud of this game being made right here in upstate NY.
Hope y'all get to work on a sequel!! And get that voice acting direction in check
strange how i wanna thank Velan so much for this like I've never just been so thankful for a game existing even if like it's not a gift or anything unless you wanna consider the pretty generous price
Big congratulations to @velanstudios.bsky.social & Nintendo of America on today's launch of Star Fox! We're proud to have programmed the original 1993 game & designed the Super FX chip powering it. Amazing to see Fox, Falco, Peppy & Slippy still flying. Do a celebratory barrel roll, team!
I'm not a Star Fox person in the slightest, but what I am is a huge fan of Velan Studios and am so happy for their success on this launch!
🚀 Why does Star Fox 64 keep getting remade? It's not because players NEED to start here or that Nintendo can't make a better on-rails shooter. It's definitely not 'dev practice' Star Fox is a game about replaying and seeing something familiar from a new angle! MY CRUSH: kotaku.com/my-crush-on-...
Oh shit, Jake! Hell yeah.
I've been mulling this over since reading, and I believe we're in conversation here as far as purpose and fit of a remake.
The children yearn for the barrel roll.
Yes yes yes. Very good article from the very good @jakesteinberg.substack.com
LOVE begins with a moment of fascination that keeps drawing us back. A ~crush~ is just a commitment to paying closer attention Star Fox 64 is asking for the same thing
I love this piece so much and it really encapsulates how I feel and why I’m excited to dig into this game today. I’m really excited to experience how different arrangements of levels and scenes make me feel. What is the “true” version of this story to me? Not canon, not lore, just heart.
The headline here belies the fact that this is perhaps my favorite bit of games writing this year. It's not specifically the point of the piece, but I feel there's a clear eyed view into the heart of what feels wrong with the current landscape as a creator, consumer and critic.
Jake crushed it talking about his crush.
Come for the sentence “Surely, before long, I’d be daydreaming about tonguing that frog under the bleachers.” Stay for the trenchant analysis of how repetition breeds ecstasy.
dont worry, everyone! they fixed star fox 64, finally! Now the dialogue has no sarcastic references to einstein because MAYBE einstein doesn’t exist in star fox universe??? This was a very important problem that NEEDED to be addressed.
someone once told me they should've changed it to Einswine and it's bugged me they didn't do that ever since
to be fair this change was present in 64 3D as well not saying it's justified or anything but the blood's not on the new game's hands here
oh of course they'll fix THIS but they won't explain how a fox can fly a space jet
I think it was probably for the best that they removed that from the game. I hear Einstein was doing some pretty messed up stuff on that island.
Finally, this was the biggest problem that was preventing me from checking out the Star Fox franchise and I’m glad Nintendo took finally addressed this
"Hey [REDACTED] I'm on your side!" Finally! I can now fully emerse myself in the anthro Star Wars game.
Okay but Fox’s one-liner to True Andross is gold?
Star Fox online mode is so much fun why are there only 3 maps tho
I know, right? The online mode is a blast, but the map selection is pretty limited. I wish they'd add more maps or even a map editor.
I've been saying; literally all this game needs to do as DLC is give us more multiplayer maps. Double or triple the amount, and I'll gladly pay $20 for it.
It seems Star Fox is a hit and I think the devs are well in place to continue with the series and release a sequel in 2-3 years. What would you like them to do? A)Screw it, Adventures Remake B)Skip Adventures, introduce Krystal via Assault Remake C)Permission to go in whatever direction they want
Anything but another remake. If it MUST be a remake, remake Star Fox 2.
C But introduce Krystal as a member of Star Wolf, cowards. None of that Kurse nonsense
C) But introduce Krystal another way.
A bit of B and C I really loved Assault, but I do understand the fair criticisms like the foot missions and it’s very short. I think a new game like that with some improvements would be pretty cool.
No Adventures or Assault remakes; just put them on NSO. Brand new game that continues after Assault, ignoring Command's story.
C. This series really can not linger in it's past anymore and I argue you can catch everyone up already with just a 2 min text blurb or video at the start. This series has like only 3 games of very tiny story. It's really not asking for much.
I never played Adventures so I choose option A
C, time to get a new game
Please stop remaking video games...
I’d like a new game that reintroduces Krystal Could be an adventure game but with a blaster instead of the staff
C. I’d rather they develop a new timeline rather than falling back on the old ones. Characters and locations can be reintroduced, but I’d imagine those like Krystal, Panther, or Dash will be revamped rather than just retelling what we already got in the 2000’s.
