The action never seemed to slow down, and the lighting effects for boosts, somersaults, and U-turns looked great. I never played the original Nintendo 64 version, but the graphics do look good for a portable game. The top screen is used for showing off the action with the bottom screen used to show the status of your Arwing and any incoming messages from the other ships. Star Fox 64 3D employs both screens at the same time. The Star Fox team travels through the Lylat system, battling mercenaries and other enemies through planets and asteroid belts to reach Venom and destroy Andross once and for all. Fox’s squadron is chasing after Andross, who has been exiled to the planet Venom. Sometimes ROB 64 will give an update on the status of your mission or send out supplies. Throughout the game your faithful companions Falco Lombardi, Slippy Toad, and Peppy Hare are there to give advice, find alternate routes, and examine the shielding for bosses. You play as Fox McCloud flying through most of the game in an Arwing fighter. ![]() S tar Fox 64 3D is another rail shooter similar to the traditional Star Fox games. Now Nintendo has brought back Fox to a portable system with Star Fox 64 3D. Star Fox Command was released for the Nintendo DS and it made you control Fox through use of the stylus. Star Fox Assault kept Fox in his Arwing and brought a more traditional Star Fox experience to the Gamecube. Star Fox Adventures had Fox leaving his Arwing and setting out throughout the universe on foot. Star Fox 64 was released for the Nintendo 64 and featured Fox in his Arwing again. A sequel for the SNES was cancelled by Nintendo, even though the game had been completed. Since then Fox McCloud and his Arwing squadron have had their share of adventures and mishaps. ![]() It sold well enough to become a Nintendo franchise character ranking up there with Mario, Samus, and Kirby. Star Fox also cost more because of that chip, but that didn’t stop the sales of the game. The game touted a new Super FX chip inside the cartridge that allowed better 3D graphic processing. One day the game was switched out to Star Fox. ![]() Most of the time Super Mario World and Super Mario Kart were the games that were in there the longest. When I worked for a major retailer while in their electronics department we had a Super Nintendo display with two controllers.
