Awww the memories.....the ‘good luck’ .....the ‘scramble’ sequence....the sound effects of the characters talking.....some of my all time fondest gaming memories
Gaming Historian is one of the best gaming channels on RUclips... Love the content.
FYVE can't agree. dude's lisp is substantially annoying.
Yikes. Grow the fuck up.
FYVE yes it is
+Jeremy Johnson Who Cares? It's still a good channel
A Lisp? I've never heard him have a lisp before.
He does smack his lips, but if you've ever seen an AMSR video, that is common and is prefered.
This really puts into perspective how crazy this game was. And 1993! I remember being completely floored by everything in this game and spent hours trying to master each course. And don't forget hitting the weird smiley center asteroids to get the special portal.
Yeah, about those competition carts. Wonderful promotion for the game. 1st prize in it was a bomber jacket, along with some other goodies, 2nd prize was a Star Fox T-shirt, and 3rd prize and beyond was some stickers or something.
I still have my T-shirt to this very day.
Not really, no. The competition was hosted by Circut City, and was overseen by one of their employees. I barely even noticed him, until it was time to claim my t-shirt. I did have a few fans, though. Some kids were watching me as I released a bomb at a ship that hadn't started attacking me. They were like "aww, way too early!" Meanwhile I was whispering to myself "Go, go, go, go...." It detonated just as it started its assault. My timing was flawless. XD
i played it at Wal-Mart got 3 pins and a t shirt. still have them all. the t shirt was a bit to small for me so its never been worn.
@CT OS
Wasn't it just KB, not Kaybee?
I competed at toys R us and won a tshirt and pin
@@JasonMontell2501 WTG! I guess my location had run out of pins. :)
Oh yeah what a great game this is. I played the hell out of it on my small TV in my room when I was a kid. LOVED the music. I'd finish the game time after time and just sat there and listen to the ending score and watching the graphics.
each time i hear the music of the first level on the SNES i get so psyched! Thos e guitarriffs are too cool
I am kind of surprised no comment was made in the video about the music. As soon as it came on here, I was blown away again by how good it was.
*Orchestrial score and real voices used!* ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
He should do a video on the legal drama surrounding the rumble pack from a few years back, where everybody but Nintendo had to drop it from their controllers.
This is what I subscribed for! I'm not big on Star Fox, but your presentation and thoroughness makes each video very fascinating.
Gaming historian you should make a video of the super fx chip
Met Jez San once. Maybe he was having a bad day, but the guy was NOT very friendly. Acting very stuck up and was talking down to everyone around him. He might be a great guy, but when I was in the same room with the guy, he was very off putting.
He probably is
Oh
I had the same experience with Chuggaconroy.
7:55 And will be when the classic edition rolls around.
The first time I played Star Fox as a kid, I remember getting scared when I got to the end of the first Corneria stage and had to face off against its boss. When that warning beep sounded followed by "incoming enemy" and the boss' health bar appeared on screen, I nearly dropped the controller in fear watching the Attack Carrier come up from behind, looming over Fox's Arwing as it turned around to prepare for battle. Then I picked the controller up, started firing at it pretty much nonstop and I kicked its ass!
This is the best Star Fox documentary great job!! Do a Barrel Roll! lol Love that part in the game
Hontoni Arigato HAHAHAHAHA SO FUNNIE XD!!! ECKS DEE!!!!!11oneone
I love this videos, because behind every video game there is a history that needs to be told. Thank you Gaming Historian, keep doing this invaluable job!
I cant believe slippy is someones fucking fursona
+Doggo the original gangster of pitiful perversion
Well I'm a pair of headphones with eyes so fuck you.
This is really cool, and I'm stoked to watch the other episodes!
Thanks for the uploads, I LOVE STAR FOX!
Excellent work. Star Fox has always been one of my favorite games on SNES. Every time I play it, so many memories come flooding in of the first time I rented it.
Really enjoyed learning some new things about the production of the game. Looking forward to the next episode!
Damn, the puppets they used for the official art are the best ones I've ever seen, their Quality is stunning
Born in 1980. Loved Thunderbirds
First thought when I saw the guy at 4:53 was wow, that fellow played too much Polybius.
I freaking love starfox on snes. it kicks so much butt.
I absolutely love programmes like these; even if there isn't anything new to learn, there's still nothing like a professional documentary on something you love.
Programs
Didn't know that such a secondary franchise had such a huge history
Honestly these are one of the best RUclips recommendation , like this channel, thank you for your afford to explain all that forgotten things
I remember extensively digging for Star Fox 2 stuff years ago and came across your videos. I'm still happy it finally came out and it being the finished version
It should be noted, that music is one of strongest StarFox features, its was so epic badass, so it still receiving remixes even now...
THX man, nice review I didn't know the story of this excellent game!
OMFG I got goosebumps at that music at 5:48
I was a ahrd core Sega fan back in the days during the "bit wars" but when I played Star fox OMG. Loved it! Still do TBh
I was just at the Inari shrine! Haha I had no idea it inspired this game, that's awesome!
quite possibly my favorite soundtrack tune ever, ever since the game came out, ive never got it out my head. the second game is great too
Miyamoto said Falcons is actually a pheasant more recently, which actually fits his color scheme.
The Super FX is great, but it wasn't one of the first GPUs. PCs had already had graphics co-processors for two years before the SuperFX, and that's only in domestic applications. Business workstations had had them since the early 80s.
Yeah but the incredible thing was they were able to get it onto an affordable home console. I remember when people were psyched about phones finally getting 4g of ram a few years back so they could play decent games in spite of the fact that PC benchmarks have been at 16g of ram for years prior. The point is the innovation allowed kids to access that power without needing their parent's entire paycheck.
Starfox was one of he few games that, at the time, realy made me wish I had a SNES over Genisis as it realy was something different rather then just a better looking game. I used to ride to a store over half an hour away on my bike just to play the demo station there and when the competion came around to that store, I was good enough to get second place in it over many that owned the game.
Genesis is still better than snes and nes combined. Star fox is really overrated, thunder blade did that way way before
@@Sleepygayboi9797 - The Genesis had blast processing too..
@@Sleepygayboi9797 why are you responding to a 5 year old comment just to fan flames on a nearly 30 year old console war
@@DELTARYZ Moron why are u responding to a year old comment. Uninstall youtube.
@@Sleepygayboi9797 Where are the Thunder Blade sequels? Oh right. Guess Star Fox was a bit special.
I absolutely loved this game -- and Pilotwings.
Cool. This even predates Virtua Fighter (true 3D with polygons) and Doom (which isn't true 3D).
Can't wait for part 2. Starfox 2 is right up next to Starfox 64 as my favourite in the series.
I always liked the first game best. I really didn't like what they did with the ship design for the later games. They went from looking like a space fighter to looking like a toy..
Can you do a history on Konami? Story of Castlevania and Contra as well? I'm not sure if you have one already, but I'm still watching your videos and love the history you have shared. Brings back memories
Thanks for doing this Norman, Star Fox is my favorite nintendo franchise out there so it was great to see you upload this
Those shots of Japan look soo inviting... I want to go there someday!
I know it was never released but I think that Starfox 2 is my favourite. Im not sure why but I think its just the fact that I have to fly around the Lylat system defending Corenria from missiles and stuff. It was just such a cool idea. You don't even have to beat the game if you want, you can just defend for as long as you can if you want. I wish the game had been released, there is so much replability in that game since enemy's and timing on missiles are all random.
one of the best channels on yt. Needs 1 mil
Great video. I love these games and still have my original Lylat Wars box proudly on display in my room.
even after playing all these modern games Starfox on SNES still looks great for me and still as much fun as the first time I played it
man, this vid hit me right in the childhood
Been waiting a while for another history lesson...now I finally got it. Great pick by the way to do starfox...a classic game that I feel that gets under appreciated
Star Fox 64 and Pokemon Yellow were my favorite things in my childhood besides the Sonic games on my Sega Genesis
earthbound art in the back is so great
I used to have this game and have beaten the shit out of it 1000 times but haven't even thought of it in years. This game was really awesome. The characters were lovable and fun and the actual gameplay was fun.
Starfox 2 is going to be a real official thing! Can't wait!
damn, i didn't know that Star Fox was that big back in the day, that just makes it's fall from grace hurt more.
I really enjoyed this episode, very well done. I hope part 2 happens ;)
Had a Starfox puppet show existed, I'm sure it would've been something along the lines of Starfleet X Bomber.
As with Battletoads, none of the Starfox games that came after were as good as the first one. The challenge was what I loved and when they watered them down it wasn't the same for me.
I wasnt born in the Snes Generation.But my uncle gave me his Snes in the 90s.Star fox in my opinion is an underrated game. i spent alot of my time on this game.
I wouldn't call it underrated. It's just kind of been over shadowed by Starfox 64, which is undeniably better. The original is still great though. I picked it up a few weeks ago and it still holds up which is more than I can say for a lot of early 3-D games.
Its very far from underrated.
I'd say its the best one seeing as how they fucked up the controls for every one that came after it (yes, including 64) and mangled whatever semblance of story they had going.
When I was in school no one would stfu about it which was fine because it was a distraction from the Mortal Kombat hype lol
Awesome, you are doing StarFox series.
Even though my first SF game was SF Adventures because I was a fan of RARE and Nintendo at the time, I never got StarFox 64 because it was named Lylat Wars in my country and it never hit me until I saw a used cart of the 64 game and played though that after knowing that Dinosaur Planet game was going to have StarFox characters.
I remember playing this and Stunt Race FX at the CES before they were released.
Star Fox is like Weezer: People might like some stuff after the originals to a degree, but the first stuff have always been seen as the best.
Funnily enough, both started in the 90's. Lol.
I like to call the original Star Fox "the video game version of A Star Is Born". I call it that because like the movie, the game has been remade more than once, three times for A Star Is Born and two-times for Star Fox, plus they both have star in the name.
I remember Argonaut before StarFox. They did a stunning Amiga game called Star Glider 2.
Such a concept wasn't really attempted until No Man's Sky.
Check out Star Glider 2 and ask what would a free roaming Star Fox had been like.
6:59 God damnit why did you have to remind me of bubsy that was one of the worst games I ever played
Matthew Ricco i cant believe you actually played that scam lol xD
Can't wait for Bubsy 3D Remastered!
You must have only ever played top notch games, Bubsy isn't even that bad.
I remember that star fox music aww.good memories!
And now, 5 years later this is still a video worth watching, about a franchise still loved!
The Arwing is still one of my favorite sci-fi fighters
the super star fox weekend came to the UK its was in woolworths in Durham and i played it and i was blown away by it :) cool vid.
I'm pretty sure this is becoming my favorite channel. That is all, good day.
When I was a 12 year old kid playing these games I had no idea there was so much drama behind them. Loved the game and loved the Video ***** !
i used to play all the levels of this game, playing the tougher ones just because the game was amazing.
nowdays i can't even get pass the first level on the switch lol
I can still remember getting the 100% kills score when I was 10.
So much care on this video: great quality, way interesting.
Thank you.
I came from the future to tell you, Starfox 2 was released!
So many memories come with this game C':
The music still kicks ass!!!
Awesome Video! I enjoyed the first part of this series! I can't wait for the next episode!
“Make a game that’s fun” - that’s why Nintendo is still here and everyone else from that era is either gone or on their last legs.
big time fan of the first game, great music!
Your father saved me like that once fox
As far as I know, the Super FX chip did not actually support the Super Nintendo CPU. Instead, it rendered the 3D graphics and cut each frame into tiles, which the Super Nintendo handled as normal 2D Images.This is the reason why no Super FX game aside from Yoshis Island has a smooth framerate / full screen drawing. It's not a lack of power in the Super FX (2) chip, but the bridge between rendering the full picture and breaking it up into tiles that takes too much time.
Watching this video makes me sad because you remind me of the last the last good Rare game...
Amazing video.
Sweet! Can't wait for the next episode!
I admit I had a harder time recently playing the OG game, I grew up with the n64 version but I’m working on getting better on this and try the sequel on the Nintendo switch.
I can't believe someone's Fursona became Slippy
Thank you for the new vid Norman!
i love star fox and all the Nintendo games because my first Nintendo console was the snes mini
Great video norm, always down for some Star Fox. Very informative as always.
Miyamoto just (~last week) stated that he will not make a new F-Zero unless he has new stuff to put in.Think its the same with Starfox.Pretty sad because i think that the Wiiucontroller would perfectly serve as a "window" out of the R-wing.Or you could draw a path on the screen that will serve as a rail the R-Wing follows so can concentrate on fireing on the enemies.
Great piece. Really looking forward to the next installment.
Quality!, can't wait for the day when you blow up. Love your stuff
I had the challenge weekend cart as a kid. My parents ordered from Nintendo Power for like, 50 bucks, if I recall correctly.
One day as a kid, I decided I wanted to see inside a SNES cartridge (being the nerdy kid I was)… I figured if I was going to wreck one it should be the "boring 4 minute one". Sigh...
New Gaming Historian Upload. YES! YES! YES!
Finally an actual new video! Nice job!
Fantastic video on a rad videogame. Cannot wait to see part 2.
awesome to see a new "gaming historian" video. are you still going to do the legend of zelda documentary?
Man the game's soundtrack was classic.
Glad to see some more content from you! :D
I was actually a regional champion in the central FL area when the competition came out. Got a nice jacket out of it.. wish I would have picked up that cartridge. :-/
Starwing was so fun!
Awsome you never let your yourus fans down. I was wondering if you could do one on the history of Mortal Kombat
Great documentary glad i found it. 😄
Sheesh, I remember one of my classmates in Kindergarten copying Fox McCloud's SSB64 taunt. I always preferred the N64 title due to the smoother framerate. Plus, Andross's appearance in the SNES title creeped me the hell out. But, overall both games were great. This series and F-Zero were pretty successful back then.
Given how successful this Star Fox was in the 1990s and the whacky Star Fox comics that Nintendo released, I would've loved to have seen Star Fox get some hilariously cheesy Saturday morning action cartoon. It probably would've been like a number of "Ninja Turtles" superhero style shows like Road Rovers, Street Sharks, or Cowboys of Moo Mesa (rock music, standard good vs evil plots, "role model" good guys, moronic villains, cheap writing, blatantly obvious moral message, meant to sell merchandise), but then I'd have one more action cartoon to nostalgically laugh about nearly 30 years later.
That was a missed opportunity. But, anyway, Star Fox as a series is full of missed opportunities. just like Crash Bandicoot.
