Hi, guys. Umaru here, I'm covering for Peter Griffin today, but the joke OP is making is related to Star Fox's history. Star Fox up to this point, the original on the SNES and SF64, were both rail shooters. Adventure marked the first time this formula was changed, hence the term "off the rails". It's a double-meaning because it's also where fans think Star Fox lost the plot.

Star Fox 2 is such a gem. They really said "Rails are cool, but let's do actual open 3D levels on SNES".

After seeing the DP prototype, I can't cut this game any more slack, they would have definitely got it out by 2001, even if it meant scaling back some stuff. Rare knew what they doing with the N64, more than Nintendo did.
More money was spent changing the game than what would have been lost leaving it as is at the nadir of the N64.

>After seeing the DP prototype, I can't cut this game any more slack
After playing the DP prototype we've had in circulation for years, I'm more convinced than ever that turning it into SFA was a good thing. It basically was the same shit in terms of puzzles and locations, but it would have run like ass just like Jet Force Gemini on the original hardware. And Microsoft would be owning it to this day, likely not doing shit with the IP.

It wasn't.

>All the stuff that was unexplained in SFA (one example being the Sharpclaw having all that tech despite being tribal like the other groups was Drakor supplying them with it to take over the planet) or felt off was fully addressed or more coherent in DP

Nintendo ain't doing anything with the DP elements at all, even Krystal got phased out. Star Fox's last 'game' was a cameo in Starlink. Dinosaur Planet could have been on the NSO if nothing else or even on XBLA.
>have run like ass just like Jet Force Gemini on the original hardware
Conker disproves this. They were using the expansion pak for the game.

It adds more than anything which is how the problem started. It set the precedent for an actual fucking story Nintendo had to (and failed to) maintain.

Which is why everyone hates it. Or likes it. There is no "middle ground" with this clusterfuck. It's like he put up a dead end sign in the middle of the track purely because Rareware was driving it and he wanted them to go off the rails with it.

Down to brass tacks, the only reason he wanted it changed to a starfox game was because he wanted his golden child to have an arranged marriage with the main character of DP. Not only was his only input to keep her when they wanted to can her, they put her in the very beginning of the game before Fox is even introduced because they know that's the only reason for the game in the first place.

The funny and sad thing is that reading interviews over the years have kinda low key revealed that Takaya Imamura is the primary reason the Star Fox storyline went to shit after SF64.
>the eight year timeskip between sf64 and adventures was his call, dude apparently thought about making it TWENTY YEARS when sf64 first came out
>krystal even being in the gcn games at all (rare was initially just going to cut her entirely from dp) and also sexualizing the shit out of her was his (and i guess shiggy's call), also retiring peppy from the field which pissed fans off
>literally the entirety of star fox command's batshine insane storylines and endings are all entirely on his hands
Like yeah there were other people involved with how that continuity turned out like Rare and Namco but the broad strokes of things like the characters actually aging and being swapped in favour of new weirdos like Krystal and Panther, as well as again the entirety of Command's story all come from him. It's why I actually find it unfair when people say that Adventures "derailed" the series because if you actually read these old interviews, you can tell that this was the direction the series' storyline was always gonna go down in, it's just that it made Krystal/Dinosaur Planet a convenient scapegoat for it all.
>>
>>737079170
Even in the game, Fox's actions basically nail it down. He does not give a single fuck about this stupid planet. He does not want to be there, he is pissed he can't use proper weapons and the only reason he progresses is because of her staff. Then he finally meets her and suddenly everyone starts caring about playing the game again, especially fox.

Another example while we're at it:
https://www.reddit.com/r/starfox/comments/18rek3h/just_throwing_out_a_ translation_of_this_old/
> N.O.M: Were there any changes in characters or other aspects from the 64 version?
>Imamura: I suppose it would be that Fox and the team have aged. This time around the story is set 8 years in the future. Characters like Mario and Bowser never age, but I feel that Fox needs to change in various ways over time. Maybe 10 years from now, we'll have the same face we've always known, but the character is actually Fox's son.
It's kinda funny that people are surprised Command's story ended like this reading this.
>>
>>737079097
I don't even understand that. Wasn't Andross fucking dead in Star Fox 64? Not every game needs its own Bowser, especially not Star Fox a game that took itself relatively seriously. It would've only helped if Fox had a rogues gallery

Unfortunately anon it's obvious that Miyamoto and Imamura believe Andross to be Fox's Bowser, the latter said as such in this old interview.
Even Command despite technically introducing a new villain with the Anglars, heavily ties its lore back to Venom and Andross.

>>
>>737079463
The sad truth is that Nintendo didn't even force Rare to do it, Miyamoto just gave the Stampers an offer and they accepted because they figured that Dinosaur Planet was screwed as its own original late stage N64 IP and that it could have used both the Star Fox AND GCN boost to make it sell better, Lee Schuneman confirmed that.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rO7ocvmoDBc
For what it's worth, I have no doubt that DP and Krystal would have ironically faded into obscurity far faster under Microsoft than they did underneath Nintendo, but I do think it would have ultimately been more respected in the long run as an odd ball N64 cult classic.
>>
>>
>>
>>737079426
Again, nothing made sense in the context of SFA. But in DP, it was all there. The Krazoa were using Krystal/Sabre to revive them so they could fuck the universe up, while Drakor was reviving the Kamerian Heart to destroy the planet so they couldn't be revived. They could have just kept the original story, but Fox took Sabre's place and that would have probably been much better. Drakor becomes a recurring antagonist, Scales gets his fight, Star Fox now has a new element to work with with Andross' remaining forces or whatever they were doing after Adventures and Drakor potentially going to his home planet to regroup and go after Star Fox and his crew.
Even Scales could have been a lesser faction trying to get even with Drakor and possibly teaming up with Fox and Krystal when the opportunity called for it.

Star Fox Adventures really highlights how completely sauceless Nintendo's games.
DP had dialogue like:
>I can taste your fear, animal. It is very sweet.
>You didn't tell him what happened in the temple. Go on. Tell him. Tell him how you destroyed his God.
They replaced Drakor and Randorn and the Quan Ata Lachu and the Majestic 8 and all that stuff with dime store Nintendo bullshit.
>>
>>737086017
>it’s mostly just people saying how pretty much every game didn’t live up to expectations.
I think it is because 64 set the bar incredibly high from how amazing it is. It basically perfected the franchise too early with little room for growth.
>>
>>737086017
SF64 has the kind of game design that is genuinely perfect. Instead of length, it has depth, which is what offers it so much replayability. You can play SF64 25 different times and have unique experiences with it, and playing "only" 7 missions each run means there's no burn-out. Compare that to most modern games that offer only superficial binary choices and have a 40-80 hour campaign; that's nothing but burn-out and begging to be experienced through YouTube.
I will admit that Adventures, Assault, and Command are "bad" for very distinct and different reasons, but none of them are offensive to me. I had the most fun with Assault which also had a short campaign and great multiplayer, but the story didn't have different routes like SF64 which was a huge let-down. Command had different routes, but the story itself was bizarre and the gameplay, if we can even call it that, was appalling. Adventures had the issue of being too long and having no replayability whatsoever, but the gameplay, when it wasn't gimmicky ("I HATE THE TEST OF STRENGTH, I HATE THE TEST OF STRENGTH") was adequate for what can be derisively called an Ocarina of Time clone.
All in all, the appeal of Star Fox has been, for me, the characters and their radio chatter and banter, the tight gameplay, the realized space settings, and blowing things up. I can't speak for everyone, but if we were given a game like Assault that had dozens of mission routes, I would be a happy camper.

Star Fox 64 is what Nintendo was afraid Super Metroid was, a genuine masterpiece of a game that they could never top if they tried, so why bother
Except they have tried to top it, only to fall on its face every single time.
Miyamato was really fucking lucky Metroid Prime turned out to be a masterpiece, because the same train of logic that led to SFA led to MP.

I will always hate Adventures because it destroyed the momentum of the Star Fox series forever. Five whole years since Star Fox 64, a unanimous classic, and we get a Rareware Zeldalike rebranded into a Star Fox game. The only way they could've turned it back around was if Assault was awesome but instead it was merely decent, except for the multiplayer but who was playing multiplayer GameCube in 2005 outside of the occasional Melee or Mario Kart?

We played so much multiplayer we unlocked everything for it. I just did a Google search and found out that means we played 260+ matches of Assault MP. I'm simultaneously proud and embarrassed. I also remember unlocking the demon rifle because I was getting pissy that one of my friends always picked Wolf for his higher health and could tank regular sniper rifle headshots with him.

So imagine George Lucas if instead of getting more and more directive control over star wars as time passed, he gave it away and had less control/input on it with each new saga. And instead of expressing/ defending your poor decisions on it, you just said nothing and pretend it didn't happen. That is Miyamoto and starfox basically, like a weird blend of George Lucas/Disney when it comes to directing games.

Miyamoto ruins the games while the gay faggots that grift off the series ruin everything else. One only cares about redoing the same game over and over again and never letting the series grow, while the other forces their fringe ideology on everyone else because they're obsessed with seeing Fox and Wolf have anal sex that leads to worms, prolapse, and eventually diapers.

Nintendo actually planned multiple SuperFX2 (or squared, as it was called) games to be released in 1995. Star Fox 2 was one of them. FX Fighter and Comanche were the other two. But they were all cancelled at the same time. Mostly because of the changing landscape of the home console market in 1995 with the launch of the Sega 32x, Sega Saturn, and Sony Playstation. At the time, Nintendo didn't think that the clunky looking polygon SNES games could compete or sell well. Star Fox 2 was cancelled in favor of Star Fox 64, which didn't show up until early 1997. I also suspect that the FX chips that were planned for these three cancelled games were used in Doom and Yoshi's island. Both used the SuperFX2 chips :

Yoshi's Island was always planned to use the FX2 chip. Comanche, Star Fox 2, and FX Fighter were all shown at E3 1995. But cancelled shortly after the event. The buzz around the Playstation at E3 1995 left Nintendo spooked and they quietly canceled most of their Super FX2 line-up because they didn't want 'clunky' looking 3D games on the SNES released besides PS1 games. They would rather wait for the N64 to push 3D.

At most a selective furry of sorts, given how weird and gross 80% of furshit is. And that includes a good amount of the fanart for even the most attractive ones like Krystal, much of whose fanart unfortunately consists of off-model dog fetishist slop. I'd rather just appreciate the few best ones, for what they're worth in their own right, and not bother with the rest.

That's not the same though. Rosalina was always meant to be a side character. Krystal was actually supposed to be the main character until Nintendo thought they could sell more games by rebranding Dinosaur Planet with the Star Fox IP. She was also changed from a cat to a fox because Nintendo is against racemixing.

The game's pretty short when you're not dying constantly, so that's not as big of a deal as you'd think. There's a mode that expects you to beat the whole thing in one sitting.

Star Fox would be in better shape if it went straight from SF64 to Assault.
Adventures threw the lore into a blender, its gameplay was completely detached from the core of the series, and overall really just should have stayed Dinosaur Planet.
Star Fox was not big enough for a spin-off styled game like Adventures. All it did was cause people to jump ship. Many never even game Assault a try as soon as they saw the on-foot combat.
I do not hate Adventures, but it did more harm than good to Star Fox.

Imamura did that. Adventures itself doesnt' even do anything for the greater Star Fox mythos outside of the eight year timeskip and plopping Krystal into the cast, both of which were revealed to be on Imamura. At the very least the former of which likely would have happened if EAD got to make their own Star Fox Adventures as intended before it got merged with Dinosaur Planet, the dude was literally "joking" about doing a fucking 20 year timeskip after SF64 came out for crying out loud.

Well when you save a planet from blowing up, a catastrophic event that would have resulted in the extinction of several races and potentially have an impact towards the greater Lylat System as a whole, it makes sense that they would get a pretty penny for it.
Sauria tribes likely provided Star Fox materials and resources that he could have then traded back on Corneria, along with Corneria paying them for saving an entire planet.
Also just a based change in art style. Seriously, I love Assault's Arwings.

One of the things I liked most about his SF64 voice is how much he sounds like a goofus. He straddles the line between dorky and cool. It's no surprise Krystal is interested in him.

James' team was founded with the idea of fighting not for the highest bidder, but for the right cause. With Sauria specifically, Fox didn't understand why some backwater shithole mattered to the greater scope of the Lylat System, which is why he's focusing so hard on the money. Once he sees that Krystal isn't another stupid dinosaur, he's immediately invested in helping Dinosaur Planet. Money's no longer his driving force, lust is. Then, when she acts like a bitch to him because she doesn't know what he's done and gone through, his morality becomes the motivation to pursue the "Krazoa God".
There's an arc to it, but it's not really tangible when we were retarded kids who got a stiffy at blue dingo girl.

What's even weirder is that he made the video before his Nuts and Bolts video. I could understand Stairfax Temperatures being run-off from him seething about Banjo-Threeie, but I don't get where his animosity for Adventures would come from. If I had to guess, based on how much he loves DKC, he values games that do one thing incredibly well and likes his franchises locked in on doing that one thing consistently.

There’s probably an alternate timeline where Star Fox 2 was moved to the N64 and used the power of the console to great effect. Star Fox 2 on N64 would be just as good if not better than what we got in our timeline with the dumb retelling/reboot. I wish we got that timeline instead.

>Though extremely difficult under normal circumstances, if the player manages to obtain the highest possible legitimate scores (up to 3000 kills), the bill can reach as much as $192,000, which, if adjusted for inflation, will be an astonishing $390,920.37.

Why did everyone hate him just for saying this? I mean Smash already has some questionable additions that don’t make sense yet people draw the line at Slippy and Peppy. I mean the word “Iconic” is subjective.

Were echo fighters a thing at this point? I could imagine Slippy being a Luigi to Fox's Mario, and Peppy could be a sturdier, heavier echo for players wanting a more relaxed version of Fox (though I don't see either of them having Fox's, Falco's or Wolf's ^B).

We don’t know enough about the inflation rate or CPI index in the Lylat system to say for sure how much 400k of their currency is worth. From Pepper’s reaction we can gauge it is a lot, but in the official manga between 64 and Adventures, we are told that Fox is low on funds and can’t afford to maintain Great Fox.
There are also tax implications. Fox is a moralfag and would surely be in compliance with whatever regulations exist. Cornerea might exempt him, but there could be separate jurisdictions on other planets. There is also the question of how Star Fox is structured as a business. I wonder if the Lylat system has a concept of pass through entities, and if Fox or Peppy would be savvy enough to register as an LLC or elect S-Corp treatment for Star Fox. If not, they could end up double-taxed, first when Star Fox gets paid and again when the team members take their share.
Now that I think about it, running a merc company must be a paperwork nightmare. I wonder if Fox is the one who keeps their books.
>>
>>737124070
There is no way anyone but ROB is doing the taxes, handling invoices, distributing payment, managing services and maintenance, and even handling the mail... all while piloting the Great Fox while everyone's eating pizza, watching shit on TV, or staring at Krystal while she does her abdominal exercises by utilizing a dancing pole.

Fun fact: There was actually a time where Star Fox used to be the Fire Emblem of Smash representation bias.
>It got a new character every game until Smash 4.
>It was the only non Mario/Zelda/Pokémon veteran franchise to get a Melee newcomer.
>Fans complained about it having more characters then bigger series DK and Metroid in terms of the Brawl.
>Krystal was a big request character during the early speculation time but Sakurai could only do Wolf under the Brawl time constraints.
Good times. Star Fox representation in Smash was great, until Smash 4. Smash 4 sucked as far as Star Fox content goes, and though Ultimate is better, it’s still lacking. (I know Krystal is an assist trophy) Yeah, we got Wolf back, but we’re still missing stages, and missed out on a lot of great music from Star Fox 2, Adventures, Assault and even Command, hell, Ultimate didn’t add any new remixes for Star Fox but funnily enough F-Zero got some new remixes in Ultimate.
But I think it's more the oversaturation of their introductions. For Star Fox you had one character, then two, then three, back to two, then back to three. With the FE cast you had zero, then two, still two, then six, and then A WHOOPING EIGHT. Even the pokemon didnt have a ramp that aggressive.
>>
>>737124351
I was almost insulted that Corneria (Zero) didn't get into Ultimate, because it's the closest we'll ever get to Ace Combat music in Smash.

I played Starfox Adventures as a kid and I honestly loved it. The Arwing sections were a disappointment, but I loved the game overall. Never understood the hate with it.

Fox being thrown into a Mario movie concludes a 20+ year long redemption arc. They actually have nothing left now, no more characters to cry about, no more whinging over a 180'd story. No, now they have to blame the developer like they should have from day one.

Sonic 4's Amy is proof that the general audience is scared of female furries. They could have fuckin' Rouge the Bat with her fat bat tits swinging heavily and it won't do any damage. The same is true of Krystal in a loincloth with her heavy chest heaving as she tries to control her breathing.

Yeah only star fox 1 and 2 and 64 are available on their in-house emulator for classics. All the others are lost until nintendo decides to finally port them.
