This week’s Nintendo Flashback features Star Fox Adventures. This was an amazing action-adventure game from the talented crew at Rare. It was the final game developed by Rare for Nintendo, before the company was acquired as a first-party developer for Microsoft.
BLG writes: "The original titles are classics with near-infinite replayability. Later releases, however, have stumbled. Usually, they’re hampered by attempted innovation with new control schemes or gimmicks. Still, there’s a lot to enjoy with the beloved Nintendo franchise. To celebrate, we’re going to rank the best Star Fox games in the franchise. To come up with the order, we’re mixing in a little bit of Metacritic ranking and author opinion."
Ever just look at a game and go, "who wanted this?" We take a look at 11 ill-conceived Nintendo games that rose that question.
A playable build of Dinosaur Planet – the game that eventually became Rare's only GameCube title – is out in the wild.
Star Fox Adventures was such a good game. Still play through it every once in a while to this day.
Star Fox Adventures was indeed great for its time. I find it amusing that now so many suddenly reverie to it as one of the greats or one of their favorites when so many critics and sites bashed it into mediocrity + the limited sales/exposure it had. Glad to see that SF adventures/Dinosaur Planet get recognition and closure on this long overdue “release”.
It just ended too early, and the reply value was non-existent.
Can't say I ever finished Star Fox.
Star Fox Adventures was wonderful! Even if it wasn't supposed to be a Star Fox game, and by the looks of it didn't seem all too special. The grass on that game was amazing back in the day!
An oldie, but a goodie. I loved the N64 and miss it. Probably my favourite console
