Let's Rock and Roll!

Oh my God this is not a drill! It's actually fucking happening, a Star Fox 64 HD Remake is coming! I can't tell you how long I've been thinking and dreaming about a HD version of my third favorite video game of all time, and holy fucking shit it's better than I could have ever possibly dreamed of!

Okay, so obviously this is yet another redo of Star Fox 64 because it's the best selling game and most critically acclaimed game in the series, and I get it, why is Nintendo doing this yet again? I feel like I'm the wrong person to answer this because this is EXACTLY what I wanted. And also, I'm seeing people saying they've never played the series before, so what better way to introduce new fans than with the best game in the series?

First things first, can we talk about how Nintendo just dropped this out of nowhere and gave us a heads up 10 minutes before a direct?! I'm not complaining, but holy shit, give a guy some time! The game looks fucking gorgeous for an HD Remake, and it's Star Fox 64 alright, but I noticed they're going to have more cutscenes, which means a more in depth story in general, which is always a plus in my book. You got your single player, multiplayer, replayability, and new challenge mode which'll give a gave that had tons of replayability even more of it.

One of the big talking points is how the crew looks now with a new "realistic" approach, and I don't mind it, in fact I quite like it, besides Falco's bird look, but that's not his fault since birds look like crap in general. They definitely go back to their SNES cover art style here and those puppets were weird but cool looking so I approve. And look at James McCloud! He looks so GODDAMN cool! And I can't wait for the music if the songs I heard in the direct are an amazing preview to the full soundtrack.

I think the only thing left to talk about is what the overall tone of the game will be like. I think so far it keeps the cheesy feel of the N64 game well, just a little bit more serious, but not to the level of Assault. Also the game looks and feels like a fusion of Star Wars and Top Gun, and I am here for it.

If you never played the Star Fox series before I suggest playing 64 first before touching the others, it's truly the best experience and a great gateway to the rest of the series before this comes out. Now if you'll excuse me I have to sacrifice my other games to get this one.
