A flight combat game, it featured amazing graphics, epic battles and an odd device called a ‘Rumble Pak’ (surely that’ll never catch on?). In short it was yet another reason why there were no regrets for purchasing an N64 over a PlayStation.
The news of a 3DS remake left me with mixed reactions. On one hand I was thrilled at the thought of being able to once again take control of Fox McCloud, blasting through the Lylat System, but there’s always the niggling worry that perhaps those “epic battles” weren’t actually that epic, and the whole thing would tarnish the memory of a much loved franchise. Well, let’s find out."

Even more than a decade removed from launch, the system’s library has so many titles that feel as fresh today as they did back at release. While it was hard to narrow down, these 30 Nintendo 3DS games are emblematic of the system’s success."
Star Fox 64 3D, for the most part, focuses on improving the original in areas that matter, and the end result is worth respecting.
They need to release a new one and not screw around with motion controls, and actually put some challenge into it and not make it too much of a kids game where it's too easy.
Several Nintendo Selects titles are on sale for $15 at Amazon right now. The deals include Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D, Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask 3D, Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D, Super Mario 3D Land, and Star Fox 64 3D.
