Alex S. from Link-Cable writes: "We have reached the final chapter in our series of articles that pit an original video game up against its remake. From platformers, to RPGs, to action/adventure games, sports and stealth games and throughout the series it seems like a dead heat between which is preferable, the original or the remake. So for this final installment, maybe it’s a bit fitting that we go back to where it all began, the Nintendo 64 and one of its classic games being remade for a handheld game system years later. So for the final time, let’s ask the question – is the original Star Fox 64 a better game or does it’s 3DS remake claim victory?"

Even more than a decade removed from launch, the system’s library has so many titles that feel as fresh today as they did back at release. While it was hard to narrow down, these 30 Nintendo 3DS games are emblematic of the system’s success."
Star Fox 64 3D, for the most part, focuses on improving the original in areas that matter, and the end result is worth respecting.
They need to release a new one and not screw around with motion controls, and actually put some challenge into it and not make it too much of a kids game where it's too easy.
Several Nintendo Selects titles are on sale for $15 at Amazon right now. The deals include Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D, Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask 3D, Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D, Super Mario 3D Land, and Star Fox 64 3D.
Love both versions love the 3DS version for the 3D and graphics. But the N64 controller was built for this game that's what gives the N64 version the edge for me personally.
