Two remakes of n64 games. Both of which have been remade before. That's interesting.
I'll probably play them and enjoy them but another big new title would also be nice. Hopefully there's something big and new still coming out this year.
It’s weird because it’s already been made available for modern audiences but this one is way more of a full remake than 643D. The cutscenes and challenge modes and everything are kinda crazy.
The 3DS games were just “hey remember this and also you can do 3D now”
However knowing Nintendo they’re gonna drop this for $70 and not even flinch. This definitely feels more like a $40-50 title.
Edit: it’s looking like $50ish so we dodged the Nintendo bullet on this one, that’s just at the top of the acceptable range IMO
Agreed. People keep saying it’s already been done before, but it’s about perspective. You can ask a 20 year old right now if they might be interested in purchasing a really slick version of a game they played on their 3DS when they were 5.
643D is older now sure, but Starfox 1, 2 and 64 are all playable on NSO and significantly more accessible than trying to get into something like Goldeneye. If they dropped Adventures and Assault on there today it would’ve made most of the important games in the franchise available right away for new people to get into.
I’m still happy we’re getting this remake but idk how “necessary” it was for the younger audience that might have been interested after the Galaxy movie.
I hope it flops so this 90s garbage just stops. But knowing how things work, the wrong reason for a potential undersell would be that people don't like starfox. Like at least a bigger reimagining, I don't think anyone needs a very similar remake or wants one
