I think Starfox is Nintendo's unluckiest franchise due to all the dumb decisions made through the series' history. The rushed transformation of Rare's N64 game Dinosaur Planet into Starfox Adventures by Shigeru Miyamoto's request is (in)famous nowadays, but nobody talks about Starfox 2's cancellation - which was, IMO, one of the worst decisions in the history of videogaming!

I'm not a big fan of the SNES, but I have to admit this game is seriously awesome. The gameplay is fast and fluid with an amazing blend of completely different genres (who ever thought that a real-time-three-dimensional-strategic-shoot 'em up would work so well?), the graphics are truly a sight to behold thanks to Argonaut's Super-FX 2/M.A.R.I.O. 2 chip and the soundtrack (which is what I tend to dislike the most in SNES games) is amazing, with some fantastic compositions and instruments. There's also other small details I love about the game: the sprite-art/character design (which is infinitely superior to SF64's blocky polygonal/digitized Muppets), the darker/edgier tone (also present in it's predecessor, A.K.A. the original timeline) and the epic enemy design (the dragons, man! THE DRAGONS!). The first Starfox was revolutionary for it's time, but if SF2 was released back in 1995, it would put it's prequel (and even SF64) to shame in every aspect and would become one of the best-selling and most well-known games of all time, instead of just a curiosity and an insight into a different future for the franchise.


Oh, and that pre-titlescreen intro with the Mirage Dragon attacking the Cornerian armada is PURE CONCENTRATED AWESOME.

P.S.: I've heard Starfox Command for the DS can almost be considered a re-make of this game, since it shares the multiple-character system and the RTS elements. Is that true? If so, is it any good?

I got much more addicted to this game than Star Fox 64. Honestly, I think that this games push for realism would do Star Fox so much more good if they would just do it again today.

I heard that Star Fox command was based off this, but what I haven't heard is if it does this really well. It seems that this games presence isn't felt in command to some people, which is fairly dissapointing.

I heard that command is fun, but I've heard that they story is pretty terrible.

Dark knight of the blackened sun. I am Sword Legion, one of many. My mask is thick, and my armor is strong. All the more necessary in a world such as this. . .

Sword legion : you heard correctly.  Command is fun, but grows bland quickly.  The mechanics and gameplay are great, but it really feels repetitive after a short while.  Plus the story is quite lame, and really needed fleshed out.  It seems that the game was made by Star Fox fans who wanted to do something worthwhile with Star Fox, but weren't sure how to pull it off.  Worth picking up if you can get it under $8 or so, but if not, skip it.

Sword legion : I couldn't care less about the "realism" in this game... You're probably referring to the real-time strategy (RTS) elements it has, what with Corneria being constantly attacked while you're out shooting stuff, but I don't think it makes the game more "realistic". Just complex and awesome!

supernerd117 : I think the only problem with SF2 is that it's too freaking short, but I prefer a good short game (Star Fox 2) than a stale long one (Command)...
