The common description for a game that still plays well years after its release is that it “holds up.” What standard, exactly, does it “hold up” to? In order to conclude what exactly that means, I started playing some older games to determine whether or not I believe they hold up.
Insider NateTheHate confirms a new Star Fox announcement is slated for April via Nintendo Today, authenticating recent reports and rumors.
Nintendo is planning to revive Star Fox with a new game this summer according to an insider, alongside Pikmin 4: Switch 2 Edition and Splatoon Raiders.
Nate the Hate dropping bombs. He shot his recent video this past Wednesday and Nintendo teases Star Fox in Galaxy soon after. At this point hes the source of the leaks. He's an Nintendo employee working psy ops for them. 😆
I liked both of them. Starfox Adventures was a fun game, just not a particularly good Starfox game. On its own, if it stayed Dinosaur Planet, I think it would be much better received. Assault was awesome. Loved multiplayer on that game.
Starfox Adventures had a really special OST in some spots, too. Thorntail Hollow was such a phenomenal score. It was like this beautiful mix of African and Celtic sounds. Like Zulu vocals over something Enya was working on.
I must've missed a good star fox game on the gamecube - the last good one I remember is Star Fox 64- which - imo holds up well to this day..
I honestly did not mind Zero... it deserves a second chance on the NS like many other Wii-U titles received.
All I ask for is plenty of content/stages and a good challenge, if it's a cakewalk I would be disappointed.
I really want a sequel to Star Fox Adventures, but a classic-style Star Fox is also welcome.
Hopefully it's a classic Star Fox like the original but of course with better graphics & a bigger game.
The second part of GTA BOOM's interview with Obbe Vermeij where they turn from origin stories to craft. Specifically, how early GTA games created the illusion of life, and why that illusion still matters more than brute-force simulation.
Art styles and gameplay mechanics carry games the furthest but some games can "hold up" better than others for different people just based on nostalgia and their own past experiences with them.
If you play the game, and you still have fun with it, it "holds up". Don't overthink this.
