"Never give up, trust your instincts!" this was the best moment for me in the game. It pushed me as a child and I managed to reach the secret section of the level. What an awesome feeling.

R.I.P Rick May "Never Give up, trust your instints." In Star Fox "I have done nothing but teleporting bread for 3 days." In Team Fortress 2 *You were good son, maybe even the best.*

What Peppy said is the equivalent of "This reminds me of the old days!" like, the days he was battling enemies along side Fox's father. In that expression the 10 year thing doesn't necessarily need to relate anything specific. There is another expression in Japanese which is "jyu nen hayai." Literally it says "you are 10 years early" but really it just means you are still new or inexperienced. Source: I have lived in Japan for over 10 years and have to decipher certain expressions myself from time to time.

Extra fun fact: on the same Miyamoto interview found on the Star Fox 64 strategy guide , Miyamoto did admit that originally Star Fox 64 was gonna have the Walker transformation from Star Fox 2. But the development team hated the idea, so Miyamoto compromised with the Landmaster tank and Blue Marine sub.

StarFox 64's graphics may be outdated, but I still find them extremely cutting edge in general. Specifically, I'm speaking more about the amount of details the developers put in the textures and and other effects to set the mood of the environments. Compared to the original game, StarFox 64 is mind blowing.

@Redhotsmasher

It's one of the hardest levels to get to because it's quite far along the hard/top path of the planet map, so you have to beat the secret Corneria boss to get to Area Y (or Sector Y? Been too long.), get enough hits (kills) in Area Y, then ??? to stay on the hard lath until you get to the water level. I have seen my dad play (and beat) it back in the day, but I was never good enough to stay on the hard path beyond Area Y myself.

To be more specific, it was Thunder Birds that Miyamoto was a fan of, and was one of the inspirations for the original Star Fox, hence why puppet versions of Fox, Peppy, Slippy and Falco was made for the commercials (and photographed for the cover art) and inspiring the limited talking animations.

The intro is oddly satisfying to watch.

Look at how smooth the Arwing movement is

I love this video!

6:54 "No special effects for collecting a Laser Upgrade" yet the Arwing itself does something. 8:00 They could have been hinting at some of the story elements of the game, cuz now we know that Peppy has been flying for a good long while.

I think Star Fox Assault is the best game of the series.

One of my favourite games of all time

6:03 that death stare tho...

Thank you for a new video

The early images are from Spaceworld 1995 B Roll footage. So early it was still using the original Star Fox Arwing Models from the SNES version.

Znd now Zero finally comes along and makes us want a real Star Fox sequel even more than before.

Simply, SF 64 is the best SF game ever. SF 64 is a unique experience.

You know the single-coloured letters for Falco, Peppy, and Slippy? I think those are used in the screens between missions (except for when you travel to Venom directly) to show which members were active in the mission you just completed. Those are visible in the mission timeline at the bottom of the screen.

For anyone wondering, the Star Box thing was also an issue with the first game on SNES, with that one being called Starwing, to my knowledge.

very good video, so much nostalgia. could you do castlevania 64? I remember seeing blocky alpha renders in magazines.

YASSSSSSSSS I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!!!!!

If i'm not mistaken, The Peppy line on titania referring to "10 Years ago" may be a reference to the time when Fox's dad, Pigma, and Peppy tried to take Andross down, IF I'm remembering the star fox story correctly!

lets do a beta64 of beta64 that'll be meta as fuck

best game of all time, and my favorite of all time

7:24 there are extra details on the front of the ship too. Especially at the bottom near the docking bay

What about being a one-up?

My guess concerning the Peppy comment is that he remembers Titania from when he passed through with Fox's father to investigate Andross the first time, which is stated elsewhere as being a few years in the past. It would be fitting, since Peppy also says things like "This bring back memories of your dad!"

I agree that most of the stuff in beta I don't really miss in the final version. This game is still great, regardless.

Great video. Star fox !!!!

Awesome. This is one of my favorite games of all time! but what about the unused audio clips? you tell us that there were a ton of unused lines, but you don't play any of them. I have actually tinkered with the internal files for this game, so I have heard a few voice clips in the files that I don't think are used anywhere, and I can only imagine how many unused lines are in the Japanese versions!

This game.. was a very big milestone in my life.. I still quote the inspirational dialogue.. "NEver Give up trusts your instincts" . - I grew up without a father.. so I guess looking at it hindsight.. peppy and crew were my voice of encouragment growing up

There was also an Atari 2600 game called Star Fox which was (AFAIK) only released in Europe which might've also led to some copyright/legal problems.

I think when peppy says I remember this 10 years ago, it might be a shortended version of a quote that says "I remember this way back when I was young, 10 years ago" they probably put this in because of how old peppy is.

349 comments at time of this post, man, no way I'm going to find what I'm looking for, so, sorry if this has already been mentioned. But you didn't mention how the Arwing looked in the earliest images. It's not a huge thing, but worth noting. It's appearance was the same as the SNES design from the looks of the images, but given a graphical overhaul. Meaning, at some point at the start, we were going to get what was essentially HD, for the time, versions of the original Arwings. But as we know, that was changed pretty early, as the screen shots you showed us were of the familiar design we know and love today. I would like it if that early design was reused though, but with modern graphics, perhaps as a DLC thing for SF0? I love the current 64/643D/Zero look for the Arwings, don't get me wrong, but I'm sure there are some who would just love to control a graphically overhauled version of the original Arwing design. I would find it interesting myself as a novelty, personally. But things sure could have been different if they hadn't changed the Arwing's design. It's little, and wouldn't have affected SF64 itself, but SFAd, SFAs, SFC, SF643D(By extension), and SF0 could have all been quite different. Maybe they wouldn't, but it's interesting to speculate on it.

thankns bro i never knew about the development of starfox 64 its a shame that starfox 2 got cancelled but thanks to emulators now we can enjoy it in all of its glorious polygon graphics

Always wondered if this Beta Corneria was still in the cartridge or something.. The Beta version of this game is sooo different from the released game.. I really hope to see a rom hack or something of this game and Mario 64, one day, that will bring these beta version to life. I know a Mario 64 Beta Revival rom hack exists I think, but it's great enough. Nice video !
