Man, for 1997, this game was hella cinematic. Everything from the voice acting, to the epic music, boss encounters, and just the overall presentation and feel of the game, this game had such a presence to it. Part of what made me love it so much. Favorite line in this whole game: *"I CAN'T BELIEVE I LOST TO THIS SCUUUUM!!"*
The controls were really tight, but the environments, even when I bought the game when it came out, didn't impress me except for the Independence day mothership level.
Duncan Van Ooyen The voice acting also surprised me since many Japanese games around 1995-1997 (even into 1998) had bad dubs. Star Fox 64 sounds pretty good in comparison.
I remember reading that the only American voice Miyamoto and the Japanese team ended up not liking was the voice of Bill, but I remember them saying that they enjoyed playing the version of the game with Japanese Text but American Voices. I've never played the JPN version of the game, but I assume that is a build/ROM that has never been released to the public.
Ikr this game was so great for it's time and revolutionary showing what the N64 can truly handle! I feel like people sleep on this game it was so fun for the switch we should get a remark or a virtual console version after playing starlink I didnt get the star fox vibe from 64 and the 3ds remake
The one that gets me is the "What's wrong fox?" as he looks around and he replies "nothing, nothing is wrong". Nobody saw him, but for him he was there T_T
Foxs father kind reminds me of my own father. Who would have guess I’d lose my father too? Sometimes I dream of him encouraging me to never give up and follow my heart. He’d even say “you’ve become a better person than I could ever be sweetie”
@@personalejcr It’s possible that when James choose to appear, only the persons he directly knew before his death (Like Fox and Andross) would be able to see him. However, he vanished when Fox came out of Venom, hence why Peppy couldn’t see him.
+Hank Voight I knew I wasn't the only one who thought that. I'm like "yo Slip, does that mean I'm having to save your ass at each moment or...?". He's a pain!
I always find the Mecha Boss of Corneria hilarious since everyone knows their weak point and immediately shoots the legs. All I can think of the Commander going "Ah so this is Star Fox?" as his entire cockpit tilts forward before he faceplants. Like his brain doesn't even have time to process how quickly they are wrecking him.
When you get to the point where you're too good, shooting his legs 🦵 gets boring 😴. Instead I'd disarm him first, then shoot the legs, then finish him.
Same here. My sixth grade year, I had the same exact problem. Sad to say, given that my family and I were poor, the N64 was the only way to entertain myself in middle school. This was in 2008-09.
I remember it being a hot summer day when my mom drove my friend and I to the mall to get this. We ended up playing it late into the night as all of the thunderstorms rolled in. One of those memories that I will never forget.
I remember pulling an all nighter with friends damn near every weekend when this game came out. Staying up late, trying to be quiet, sneaking into the kitchen to eat cold pizza and drink Pepsi lol I’ll have gas all week if I do that now in my 30s. What a time it was
The moment you realize that Slippy was roasting Star Wolf team when he says “nice aircraft, guys”. He says it after two Star Wolf ships got shot down in one minute.
I learned my first english words with this game, i used to repeat everything they say. Star Fox 64 is one of the game i will never forget in my entire life.
Ok ladies, for those that genuinely give a fk bout what I said (like 1% of ya) I BEAT THIS GAME AT 9 years old both right and left sagas. Some of you don’t kno da diff between Completed and Accomplished dats y u can’t PULLOUT 500 RT NOW. Hold dat L no blizzy u tight GG
@@Cyrx686 The fact you can change your story route during gameplay dynamicly with diferent actions, fully voiced characters with perfect feeling to the story, there's even some roguelike aspects to it, since everytime you play it its gonna be different and there's things to look out for, such as crew member's HP and things like that. I still remember when i passed that mission in that planet where Bill shows up, "Accomplyshed" it, and then he showed up later, not doing much, but he was there Things like that don't just show up on your mind when you're making a game, its like features you do for love, or with great creativity
@@derago-dev None of those really sound new for the time. There were flight simulators with dynamic campaigns, Falcon 3.0 came out in 1991. The arching story was done in Wing Commander for example in 1990. The crew management was done in B17 Flying Fortress in 1992. It's may be a fine game but it was totally of its time.
For an N64 game, I'm still amazed by how epic the dogfight battles are and how much they managed to fit that many enemies on the screen at once. We rarely see anything like that today besides Ace Combat 7, Starwars Battlefront 2, and Starwars Squadrons.

Never realized as a kid that fox was being guided by the spirit of his father on the last level. I thought his father was actually alive but now it seems obvious that he died and and was actually his guardian angel. Well done starfox 64 some deep shit going on.

Fox:Check your G-diffuser systems. Falco: Im fine *Moments Later* Falco: There's something wrong with the G-diffuser systems!! Lol how did this guy even get his wings??
Crazy how 2 decades ago we didn't pay much attention to the graphics, we just wanted to have fun and beat the game as soon as possible and it was largely enough. Good times
Well, it makes since. 2 decades ago the concept of 3D games was brand new. We had no expectations because our minds were blown to a whole new concept of gaming. Mario 64 revolutionized the gaming industry for this reason. The reasons 64 is so iconic is because it is what introduced us to the foundation of what gaming has become today.
Interesting how Fox never has any communication with the other team members but at 28:48 he actually responds to Falco for his comments. Truly a game that can be played at any given time and year and will still hold and stand as a classic of its era. Regards to all the players out there. Especially us who grew up in the 90's.
This was such an incredible game. Not just the graphics, and the extensive world they created but this thing had SOUL man. The creators were really passionate making this game. Thank you creators, and Nintendo
Funny thing, if you round up the money General Pepper owes to the amount of Venom troops you destroyed, Star Fox charges $64 Cornerian dollars for every troop they destroy. 64, get it? XD
The fact that music plays for the entire escape after the last boss, but goes complete silence when James says "you've become so strong Fox" makes it so good.
@@rottenstinkyegg I put the timestamps in the comments section for mobile users because the timestamps don't work in the description if you're on a phone.
Honestly, many of the phrases said by the characters within Star Fox 64 still echo in my mind today. The voice acting was iconic. Pigma's "that reward's as good as mine!!!" was one of my favorite. I used to really enjoy the challenge of fighting against Starwolf and his team when I played this as a kid in the late 90s. That and the feeling of both horrid and relief of fighting and defeating Andros at the end.
This heavily implies that the Lylat system has had contact with the Sol system and knows about Earth culture and history to such an extent that they use it in their vernacular.
"This is horrible". You know, I've heard this line literally hundreds of times, and only now as an adult do I really agree. I mean, a major city is just in ruins and millions of civilians are probably dead. I mean, I knew that as a kid, but didn't have the emotional capacity to really think about it. Funny how that works. Side note: whoever voices Falco is actually a pretty good voice-actor.
psychotrip Damn...you got a point. I owned this as a kid and played it RELIGIOUSLY, so much so that still to this day i play every game that requires aiming with y inverted. But to your point i never payed too much attention to the devastation in stage 1 because i was so engrossed in an incredible gameplay experience
Durell Jacque I always get anxious when I play through Zoness because of the searchlights. If you miss one, you get caught and more enemies will appear. But I love Katt.
agreed i was like 6 or 7 when i first played this game my memories are so vauge of this game i remember playin my n64 alot before i got that game unfortanetly our n64 broke and we could only rent the game for a few days renting an n64 game back in the day was alot of money for kids like 2$ or3$
This game had a much more "serious" atmosphere to it, (intro, mission briefing, soundtrack) not that the new remakes are bad, but the way this game was made is just remarkable!
The N64 graphics and the way things are animated makes a lot of environments and enemies really creepy actually, especially in the sector X space base, aquas and the warp zones.
That's one of the few levels I CAN get a medal on. There's SO much to shoot. Just mash the A button. It's the simple levels like Corneria that I found the hardest.
Nah, that was easy for me. The hardest planet in my opinion is Titania (or that place you save Slippy at). Probably because I'm terrible in a tank, but... then again, there's a crap ton of... EVERYTHING in your path!!!
Man I will always love this game!!! All I see is me playin' this game all over again. When I found out Rick May passed away from COVID-19 I was hurt! As I watch this, I hear him say, "Never Give Up! Trust Your Instincts!!!!" He means this is SO MANY WAYS!!!! Sleep In Eternal Power Rick May!!! Your Legacy Will Forever Live On!!!!! ❤💎💜💎❤
I still remember being 8 and going to our regular grocery store and seeing a Nintendo station set up one day out of nowhere to promote the N64 launch. Of course I went and was blown away by this game. They let me play one level and I knew it was gonna be something I play for a long long time.
Facts. Its crazy how when Fox flys out the tunnel after defeating Andross his father's jet disappears. And then Fox starts looking for him in the sky 🥺.
Wow! when I played this game when I was young, I never went through the blue-marine, Katt, and James McCloud on Venom route, watching that part blew my mind. Star Fox 64 is truly one of the best video games ever.
I played this game 22 years ago. Today was the day I realized there were multiple endings, routes and worlds. This just blew my mind, I had no idea there were multiple endings!
One of my favorite games of all times. I remember beating Starwolf so quick in Fortuna that I messed up the dialogue order and Fox ended up saying: - I'll take care of the bomb now. - Let's take care of these guys first
Nostalgia. Beaten this game entirely and still own the cartridge. I remember when this was brand new. One of the coolest games back then, and is still the best Star Fox to date. Filled with so many iconic lines. From what I heard, the actor of Peppy passed. RIP
The N64 really rivals the PS2 in terms of smooth polygons and graphics quality. The PS2 has way more detail but the N64 has the basic power with less polygons which some people like. It came out 4 years earlier too
Thanks for making this video. I’ve been looking for a 100% walkthrough of StarFox 64 for years. I’m glad I can finally get the nostalgia that has eluded me for years!
I feel like I just took a gut shot after it hit me this was almost 25 years ago... God the mid to late 90s were so fun. One of my folks pointed out how we would be outside all day doing whatever NOT connected to phones and still found time for n64 but didn't over take our world. Okay someone needs to get on the time machine gimmick because I'm missing the 90s bad now😂😂
My brother and I got it on release back in the day. We were at a family reunion in Washington state and went to the small town mall and got the game. We didn’t have the console with us of course so we just salivated over the box. I remember the box was extra large to hold the rumble pack. Man. Watching this brings back so many good memories
I played this game from 2014-2018 and I’m only 14 but I still have very nostalgic memories from this game. I beat this game over 80 times. What a masterpiece this was.
Christmas 1998... I found a N64, a blue controller, a rumble pack and Lylat Wars under the tree.. It was a beginning of something wonderful. I played this game hundred and hundred of hours and felt like the Hulk when I first defeated Andross. I can still feel my heart beat and my hands shaking when I arrived Venom the first time, I was so excited 🤭 such a masterpiece ❤️
James Mccloud is Bardock Andross is Freezer,Bill is Krillin without deaths,Peppy is like Ten Shin Han,Pigma is like Tao Pai Pai,Katt is like Lunch/Launch and Bulma...
My first video game was Wipeout 64 with Arwing-like ships, but I preferred the real deal although Wipeout is actually more fun, intense, cool and has better weapons and music as well as faster ships.
I’m nearly 30 this year and I’m so glad I grew up in the time I did with this console and game! Still have my original, can’t wait for my kids to play it one day.
General Pepper: Star Fox, we are in your debt, I would be honored to have you as part of the Cornerian... Fox: Oh no, sir. We prefer doing things our own way.
Jeeze. I remember when this game first came out. A good friend of mine at the time, ran out to Blockbuster and rented it. And then we spent the whole night playing it. Good times. Thanks for uploading
This game was my childhood. I played and loved it everyday of my life. Even to this day this game still remains my number one favorite of all time. Good times.
Played this game hardcore back in 1997 when i was 9 years old.. Now I'm 32 years old and play it in my rehearsal room after playing guitar and drinking some alcohol.. still mastering the hard route. so much nostalgia every fucking time.
Thank you for all the helpful tips in my youth Rick May (voice actor of Peppy, Andross, and even Soldier from TF2). May you do all the barrel rolls and rocket jumps in heaven
Dude. I am tearing up a bit watching this. This was one of my absolute favorite games growing up. This game represents a good chunk of my childhood. I love this game.
I recently started playing this on my switch while I'm flying for work. Crazy that as a kid I took the easy BS route and never played aquas or any of the planets on that side of the map until over 20 years later.
You know, I've seen other videos of people playing this, and right off the bat, you are the only person other than me that I've ever seen beat the easy corneria boss before the fight begins by shooting off his leg so you can kill him in less than ten seconds. that alone tells me you know what you're doing, and you're getting a like just for that
Oh God I know what you mean it actually irritates me when I see videos and they don’t shoot one of the legs off. I’m just screaming in my head “WHYYYYYYYYYYY!”
@@Darth_Revan770 maybe to enjoy more the game and the voice lines, when i had my 64 zelda , starfox and 007 where my only game so every time ive re-played them i tried something different : )
The first time I ever played this game was as a demo in Costco on those old setups they used to have. I fell in love. The way the narrator delivers the opening is so brilliant. Love how his intonations go up at the end of each clause toward the end of the narration when begins speaking about "a new star fox team." Classic.
The writing behind andross as a villain is brilliant. Him being a brain with only eyes at the end? Him saying he will bring fox down no matter the cost???? And fox escaping by following the spirit of his father bc love conquers all? Amazing.
This is the best Star Fox game ever because of the graphics and the vehicles. The only thing boring about this game is the fact that it is too damn easy!...
God i miss these days sooo fucking much!!! Prob one of the happiest times of my life. I remember the day my dad brought the n64 & starfox home. I was so shocked & happy. Thank u for taking me back to my childhood

in Japanese(元): 少しずれてるが、問題ない
literal(直訳):little divide,but no problem.
Falco is the true star of this game,obviously...
As a kid that rumble pack felt so real. So many memories and one of my all time favorite games on the N64.
Crazy how 2 decades ago we didn't pay much attention to the graphics, we just wanted to have fun and beat the game as soon as possible and it was largely enough. Good times
Well, it makes since. 2 decades ago the concept of 3D games was brand new. We had no expectations because our minds were blown to a whole new concept of gaming. Mario 64 revolutionized the gaming industry for this reason. The reasons 64 is so iconic is because it is what introduced us to the foundation of what gaming has become today.
@@Sj_blackphoenix not really donkey kong was pretty much foreshadowing the concept of a 3D games but yea Mario 64 was drop jaw
Ever heard of the Bit Wars?
@@siuken1757 no
2 years later this comment holds weight and is criminally true 🙏🏾 that's the 90's for ya
Interesting how Fox never has any communication with the other team members but at 28:48 he actually responds to Falco for his comments.
Truly a game that can be played at any given time and year and will still hold and stand as a classic of its era.
Regards to all the players out there. Especially us who grew up in the 90's.
He has one on the first level with Falco when you take the alternate route.
Don’t forget when slippy rushed in as well
This was such an incredible game. Not just the graphics, and the extensive world they created but this thing had SOUL man. The creators were really passionate making this game. Thank you creators, and Nintendo
Naw, it's very credible.
Yes
Funny thing, if you round up the money General Pepper owes to the amount of Venom troops you destroyed, Star Fox charges $64 Cornerian dollars for every troop they destroy. 64, get it? XD
Phoenix 4 Aldaes
Minecraft came out after this...
Jennifer McAdam
it’s because the game is called starfox *64*
Not because of minecraft
Coincidence?
I'm not too sure about that one, chief!
@@Hovergoat_Guy Hydro Thunder: C, C, C, C, COMBO BAKER!!!
don't forget that he's mostly paying Fox for destroying random asteroids out in space
StarFox 64: the best, greatest and best-known title in the StarFox series!
The fact that music plays for the entire escape after the last boss, but goes complete silence when James says "you've become so strong Fox" makes it so good.
that blue laser sound is such a legendary sound imo.

ModernXB do you play a lot of old games from n 64,PlayStation,Xbox?
Does the game expect you to know how to get the other difficulties without help beyond the game.
This is in the description.
@@rottenstinkyegg I put the timestamps in the comments section for mobile users because the timestamps don't work in the description if you're on a phone.
You're the real MVP
Honestly, many of the phrases said by the characters within Star Fox 64 still echo in my mind today. The voice acting was iconic. Pigma's "that reward's as good as mine!!!" was one of my favorite. I used to really enjoy the challenge of fighting against Starwolf and his team when I played this as a kid in the late 90s. That and the feeling of both horrid and relief of fighting and defeating Andros at the end.
I miss this game so much.
Drad1997 Same
Man I played again recently and holy did it bring good memories ❤️
Same, I wish my N64 didn't break..
Drad1997 this was my favorite game
I don't as mine is in my bedroom lol
Fox: *accidentally shoots Falco*
Falco: “HEY EINSTEIN! IM ON YOUR SIDE!”
Whoopsies XD
I always did it just to get a reaction from Falco, never on accident.
This heavily implies that the Lylat system has had contact with the Sol system and knows about Earth culture and history to such an extent that they use it in their vernacular.
That makes me laugh a little and I did the same thing too Lol 😆 I cracked a smile 😃 😊 when I hear Falco say that
Fox: Falco, who the heck is Einstein?!
I remember doing a quick run of this game in the mornings before school. The 90s sure were a magical time
"This is horrible".
You know, I've heard this line literally hundreds of times, and only now as an adult do I really agree. I mean, a major city is just in ruins and millions of civilians are probably dead. I mean, I knew that as a kid, but didn't have the emotional capacity to really think about it. Funny how that works. Side note: whoever voices Falco is actually a pretty good voice-actor.
Too bad the 3ds remake completely botched that line.
well its not the same voice actors go easy on them dude they probably never even heard of star fox before
Fox has an okay voice actor
Falco has the best of the four
Peppy does a barrel roll
Slippy is ear cancer
psychotrip
Damn...you got a point. I owned this as a kid and played it RELIGIOUSLY, so much so that still to this day i play every game that requires aiming with y inverted. But to your point i never payed too much attention to the devastation in stage 1 because i was so engrossed in an incredible gameplay experience
You're supposed to become less emotional as an adult not more.
The most badass I ever felt in gaming was when in Area 6 they started to panic.
One of the best moments of the game.
@@Dom20002007 is
Dude it’s so epic. Everyone is just freaking out it’s my favorite part of the game.
Seeing the words "Mission Accomplished" always felt good.
this game brings back so much memories!! I miss the 90s!!
Durell Jacque I always get anxious when I play through Zoness because of the searchlights. If you miss one, you get caught and more enemies will appear. But I love Katt.
agreed i was like 6 or 7 when i first played this game my memories are so vauge of this game i remember playin my n64 alot before i got that game unfortanetly our n64 broke and we could only rent the game for a few days renting an n64 game back in the day was alot of money for kids like 2$ or3$
I agree, It does for me too. I also miss the 90s.
Nopace Jane's deep
@@zoewheeler3927 a%l
This game had a much more "serious" atmosphere to it, (intro, mission briefing, soundtrack) not that the new remakes are bad, but the way this game was made is just remarkable!
The N64 graphics and the way things are animated makes a lot of environments and enemies really creepy actually, especially in the sector X space base, aquas and the warp zones.
Aqua levels still give me nightmares
@@1Peasant There really is something special about water levels in retro games.
@@carljohan9265 6:55 When the powerboat spins in Hydro Thunder (Arcade/PC/Dreamcast).
Serious atmosphere? Assault would like a word with you.
Loved this game growing up in the 90's, awesome decade to be a child.
Man, the Area 6 Venom Air Defence Zone was the most insane and intense level in this game.
Chris Bruno definitely I just bough a n64 just to relive this game
These guys are crazy!
That zone is one of the most hardly places to win the fucking medal
That's one of the few levels I CAN get a medal on. There's SO much to shoot. Just mash the A button. It's the simple levels like Corneria that I found the hardest.
Nah, that was easy for me. The hardest planet in my opinion is Titania (or that place you save Slippy at). Probably because I'm terrible in a tank, but... then again, there's a crap ton of... EVERYTHING in your path!!!
I like how Bill is totally chill with you shooting down his entire squadron on Katina.
😂
I’m thirty now but I remember as a kid playing this at my babysitters house. This was top of the line gaming at the time!
Man I will always love this game!!! All I see is me playin' this game all over again. When I found out Rick May passed away from COVID-19 I was hurt! As I watch this, I hear him say, "Never Give Up! Trust Your Instincts!!!!" He means this is SO MANY WAYS!!!! Sleep In Eternal Power Rick May!!! Your Legacy Will Forever Live On!!!!! ❤💎💜💎❤
COVID-19 got Rick May?

"Ah, So this is Star Fox?"
**immediately taken down**
"Sh*t, so that *WAS* Star Fox!? We're screwed!"
hahahahaha
I still remember being 8 and going to our regular grocery store and seeing a Nintendo station set up one day out of nowhere to promote the N64 launch. Of course I went and was blown away by this game. They let me play one level and I knew it was gonna be something I play for a long long time.
Always shed a tear when his dad appears, makes me emotional - so many childhood memories. Thank you for this video man.
Facts. Its crazy how when Fox flys out the tunnel after defeating Andross his father's jet disappears. And then Fox starts looking for him in the sky 🥺.
@@jacobkhan2606 after all this isn't even the second time this happens!
Wow! when I played this game when I was young, I never went through the blue-marine, Katt, and James McCloud on Venom route, watching that part blew my mind. Star Fox 64 is truly one of the best video games ever.
Once I learned of that route I never took any other route once I beat the game. This game is the underrated 🐐
The speed of light in Meteo stage moved me to tears, I´ve played this game as a child, now, 25 years later still one of my favorite videogames moments
I freaking LOVE the hard path ending, the appearance of Fox's dad almost made me want to cry.
Same it's so cool
I almost cried too
"IF I GO DOWN I'M TAKING YOU WITH ME!"
Nintendos most epic and cinematic game hands down!! They need to bring it back like this!
The disappearance of my Dad almost made me want to cry too.
6:54 legendary advice. Thank you Rick May. I didn’t even know he had passed, but he will always be the mentor we always needed. 🙏
"You were good son, real good; maybe even the best"

What happened? How he died?
@@Superemie401 He died to COVID-19 back in April 2020 during his recovery from a stroke.
I played this game 22 years ago. Today was the day I realized there were multiple endings, routes and worlds. This just blew my mind, I had no idea there were multiple endings!
are you for real? how old were you back then? and how many times did you play it?
*6:55** DO A BARREL ROLL!*
*12:41** D O A B A R R E L R O L L !*
F
Classic.
6:54 What everyone wants to hear.
Do a barrel roll!
One of my favorite games of all times. I remember beating Starwolf so quick in Fortuna that I messed up the dialogue order and Fox ended up saying:
- I'll take care of the bomb now.
- Let's take care of these guys first
1997 - 2017...
20 years later, this game is still awesome.
Though I no longer play it, this game is legendary.
Classics like this will never die.
Im 13 i dont have a x box or thing like that i only have a nintendo 64 li cant forgive my self to have sell this game cause i liked so much
@@willou0568 i still got mine too , its sacred and well guarded xD
@@MrJonny-rj9jr KEEP IT FOREVER LMAO
@@willou0568 i will not fail you comrade!
Nostalgia. Beaten this game entirely and still own the cartridge. I remember when this was brand new. One of the coolest games back then, and is still the best Star Fox to date. Filled with so many iconic lines.
From what I heard, the actor of Peppy passed. RIP
Yes. Rick May.
The N64 really rivals the PS2 in terms of smooth polygons and graphics quality. The PS2 has way more detail but the N64 has the basic power with less polygons
which some people like. It came out 4 years earlier too
Even the box it came in was special and badass to fit the rumblepack
2:35:48 Never Give Up. Trust Your Instincts.
Most emotional part of the whole game
Damn. Fr. Ughhhhh
Do a barrel roll 😎
Since we hear Peppy say it first, we used to call it "the Pep Talk."
Thanks for making this video. I’ve been looking for a 100% walkthrough of StarFox 64 for years. I’m glad I can finally get the nostalgia that has eluded me for years!
I feel like I just took a gut shot after it hit me this was almost 25 years ago... God the mid to late 90s were so fun. One of my folks pointed out how we would be outside all day doing whatever NOT connected to phones and still found time for n64 but didn't over take our world. Okay someone needs to get on the time machine gimmick because I'm missing the 90s bad now😂😂
Fox Mccloud voice: 🗣️ will do, general!
My brother and I got it on release back in the day. We were at a family reunion in Washington state and went to the small town mall and got the game. We didn’t have the console with us of course so we just salivated over the box. I remember the box was extra large to hold the rumble pack. Man. Watching this brings back so many good memories
Who’s watching 2018? This was one of my childhood games
@Kyle Skinner noice
same my childhood game
Mine. To
3DS version is better than the N64 version
I too
You forgot to move the 64 sign in the title screen
I played this game from 2014-2018 and I’m only 14 but I still have very nostalgic memories from this game. I beat this game over 80 times. What a masterpiece this was.
"See my ship? Does it LOOK okay to you?!" still laugh at that one.
Who's watching 2019? one of my favorite childhood games
Me
i am, such a gem of a game, i love the snes OST more but this is way better in everything else!
Me
me :) love star fox 64
Not me brother, watching this in 1812
Christmas 1998... I found a N64, a blue controller, a rumble pack and Lylat Wars under the tree.. It was a beginning of something wonderful. I played this game hundred and hundred of hours and felt like the Hulk when I first defeated Andross. I can still feel my heart beat and my hands shaking when I arrived Venom the first time, I was so excited 🤭 such a masterpiece ❤️
Falco is to Fox like Vegeta is to a Goku.
Yeah xD
Only that Vegeta actually do something, while Falco only complains and asks for help!!!
James Mccloud is Bardock
Andross is Freezer,Bill is Krillin without deaths,Peppy is like Ten Shin Han,Pigma is like Tao Pai Pai,Katt is like Lunch/Launch and Bulma...
this, mario 64, mario kart, zelda oot, 007 golden eye and few more = my childhood and golden age of gaming IMO.
I agree 100
Don't forget Mario tennis
That's when games had purpose and fun at the same time
Wow this brings back memories. I beat this game countless times as a kid. Such replay value. What a game.
Im surprised by how much this looks like Wipeout Fusion on PS2.
My first video game was Wipeout 64 with Arwing-like ships, but I preferred the real deal although Wipeout is actually more fun, intense, cool and has better weapons and music as well as faster ships.
He hasn't died one time...very well played!! This brings back good memories!!!
Who is just here to pay their respects to Rick May?
I know i am
he may rest in peace
I AM GOING TO CRUSH YOU!!, that line has been stuck in my head
Too wholesome to stay at sixty nine likes.
Yes.

I’m nearly 30 this year and I’m so glad I grew up in the time I did with this console and game! Still have my original, can’t wait for my kids to play it one day.
Who's here after hearing of Rick May(Peppy and Andross)'s death?
COVID Sucks. T_T
Sad. Hate to hear that
That's awful. When will this disease stop taking so much from us..
Wtf he died from that??? Fucking fuck
Nooo☹
Shaolin Hooper, we’re all gonna fkn die!
General Pepper: Star Fox, we are in your debt, I would be honored to have you as part of the Cornerian...
Fox: Oh no, sir. We prefer doing things our own way.
Fox: Sorry, General. We like doing things our own way.
Then he gives him the bill.
And thats how I learned to do things my own way
Didn't need a guide, just some nostalgia. Thank you for uploading.
Jeeze. I remember when this game first came out. A good friend of mine at the time, ran out to Blockbuster and rented it. And then we spent the whole night playing it. Good times. Thanks for uploading
rip rick may 1940 - 2020 he died as soldier and he will be always in our hearts
This game was my childhood. I played and loved it everyday of my life. Even to this day this game still remains my number one favorite of all time. Good times.
Played this game hardcore back in 1997 when i was 9 years old.. Now I'm 32 years old and play it in my rehearsal room after playing guitar and drinking some alcohol.. still mastering the hard route. so much nostalgia every fucking time.
I miss this game brother! I drink a lot and work nowadays. I should get back into gaming.
Hell yeah! I’m 33 love this game I’m hoping to get a tattoo of it

Between Peppy, Pigma, and Andross bringing up his father at every random opportunity, I swear Fox is gonna develop a complex.

I was born in the mid-to-late SNES era, but grew up in the N64 era. As such, this was my first Star Fox game.
Same
Dude. I am tearing up a bit watching this. This was one of my absolute favorite games growing up. This game represents a good chunk of my childhood. I love this game.
I recently started playing this on my switch while I'm flying for work. Crazy that as a kid I took the easy BS route and never played aquas or any of the planets on that side of the map until over 20 years later.
You know, I've seen other videos of people playing this, and right off the bat, you are the only person other than me that I've ever seen beat the easy corneria boss before the fight begins by shooting off his leg so you can kill him in less than ten seconds. that alone tells me you know what you're doing, and you're getting a like just for that
Once you're used to the game, it's REALLY easy to pull off. I've tried it, was surprised how quickly it ended
Oh God I know what you mean it actually irritates me when I see videos and they don’t shoot one of the legs off. I’m just screaming in my head “WHYYYYYYYYYYY!”
@@Darth_Revan770 maybe to enjoy more the game and the voice lines, when i had my 64 zelda , starfox and 007 where my only game so every time ive re-played them i tried something different : )

@@tjclews WHAT IS THAT PRIVATE PILE!?
The first time I ever played this game was as a demo in Costco on those old setups they used to have. I fell in love.
The way the narrator delivers the opening is so brilliant. Love how his intonations go up at the end of each clause toward the end of the narration when begins speaking about "a new star fox team." Classic.
I still don't know why few people talk about this game... IT IS SO COOL!!!
The writing behind andross as a villain is brilliant. Him being a brain with only eyes at the end? Him saying he will bring fox down no matter the cost???? And fox escaping by following the spirit of his father bc love conquers all? Amazing.
The ones who made the scenario need a Nobel.
I bought it when it came out in 1997. What a great year. Incredible game that still holds up today, somehow. I miss the era.

Its so funny how this game is such an instant classic. Remake and the WiiU version just can't come close to the charm this game has.
LOL, The nostalgia will not let me play
Ditto! They have repeated the exact same lines as 20 years ago! The dialogue is way outdated now, what would today's generation think?
The camp factor in the N64 is just much better. Shoulda stuck with the original voices.
Don't forget about Andross' laugh. In the 3DS, it's just a "HA HA HA!". In the N64 Ver. The laughter is MUCH more sinister.
This is the best Star Fox game ever because of the graphics and the vehicles. The only thing boring about this game is the fact that it is too damn easy!...
God i miss these days sooo fucking much!!! Prob one of the happiest times of my life. I remember the day my dad brought the n64 & starfox home. I was so shocked & happy. Thank u for taking me back to my childhood
