Star Fox 64 is a video game for the Nintendo 64 that was released in 1997. It is noted as being the first video game that used the innovative Rumble Pak that is commonly used in today's video games. The game was renamed Lylat Wars in Europe, because the name "Star Fox" was already registered by a company called Mythicon.

Star Fox was originally to have a sequel on the SNES named Star Fox 2, which was finished but eventually cancelled. Much of the leftovers was transferred over to Star Fox 64, although Star Fox Command better resembles the original.

Star Fox 64 was later remade for the Nintendo 3DS titled Star Fox 64 3D.

StoryEdit

The game's story is a remake of Starfox for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. General Pepper has sent James McCloud (Fox McClouds father), Peppy Hare, and Pigma Dengar to Venom stop Andross, but when they arrive Pigma betrays them. Peppy escapes but James is presumed dead. One year later, Fox McCloud, Falco Lombardi, and Slippy Toad join Peppy to take down Andross.


GameplayEdit

The game has gameplay similar to the original video game Star Fox which was released on the SNES. While the Arwing stages make a triumphant return, there are also stages where you can ride in a tank (called the Landmaster) and in a submarine (called the Blue Marine) though a majority of the stages require you to control an Arwing. Many critics also praise the voice acting used both in and out of gameplay, where the characters gave you plenty of tidbits of information, as well as often times saying random things, such as Peppy says things such as "Do a Barrel Roll" and "Try a Somersault".

ReceptionEdit

This game is the most popular game of the series. Some fans, however, were particularly annoyed with the voice acting, particularly Slippy.

TriviaEdit

  • The frozen planet Fichina was mislabeled as Fortuna in Star Fox 64 due to a translation error.
  • This game has been subject to several memes, particularly "Do a barrel roll!", taken from Peppy's insisting of you doing so in the game.
