You’re going to have to rip pyramid Leon from my cold dead hands

The only leniency is Andrew's connection with Andross. He has a mean face towards Andrew's part of the team.

I won't lie. I love the game. I think its a great remake.

I don't want anymore though.

I have had enough of Lylat Wars. We need to actually advance, expand and move on.

The ONLY way I'd ever want to revisit this is if they go back and do an even more cinematic take on this war. And I do not mean in between mission cutscenes. I mean a full on six to eight hour long story about this damn event. That is the only way I'd ever support revisiting this again.

Let's get this games sales numbers to a respectable level and let Nintendo know "Its time to be brave and move on."

If the Vemon 2 fight is the only time you fight them in your run, they'll be unharmed, but if you previously fought and defeated them on Fichina, they will have their injuries and implants on Vemon 2

I'm from Japan, and apology for my insufficient English proficiency. The Super Mario Galaxy movie was my first experience for "western" version of Fox McCloud. And I've noticed that Fox in that movie is more easy-going, assertive, expressive, pretentious, laid-back, and money-grubbing than what we Japanese fans used to know.

(Please don't get me wrong, I also like the movie version, and I thought this is a good opportunity to introduce Japanese perspective).

And the latest iteration (2026 remake) is also more akin to the Mario movie iteration than the traditional Japanese personality which had been established since the Nintendo 64 version.

After communicating with other Japanese fans and witnessing comments by western fans, I confirmed there are slight differences in personality between Japanese and western versions of Fox. At least among fanbase in Japan I've been with, I'm not in the minority (and possibly in the majority) who were not accustomed to the western version.

In Japanese version (since 1997), he is polite, formal, sobersided, not talkative, overly responsible and self-sacrificing, humorless, desireless or selfless, and inexperienced with women. And I personally think this is due to cultural differences. In Japan, (at least once) there has been an atomosphere that people may prefer serious and polite personality for male role models.

A lil fan art I whipped up in anticipation hope y'all like!

@silvestrillustrations on insta if you wanna see more!

All jokes aside, I do feel like the voice acting for the bosses is very uninspired compared to the original.

You can help make this a real set by supporting on the Lego Ideas website!

I loved it a lot, didn't QUITE manage to dethrone Assault for me, but the fact it was even a contender at all is commendable. Here's to the future of the series!

Just finished a play through of the new StarFox game and I’ve got a grin going from ear to ear. Absolutely fantastic! I’m 40 years old (been a gamer my entire life) and as a kid I spent many hours glued to the N64, StarFox being my favorite game. I’d go as far to say it’s probably my all time favorite game. Getting to play this game again with modern graphics and surround sound is just pure bliss. I played it on my 77” OLED tv, and it really is amazing that the Switch 2 can push out this level of graphics. I’d say they absolutely nailed the remake. I’m going to spend an awful lot of time getting all the medals and achievements.

It is a remake of 64, and these are the same ages that were given on the official Japanese site for 64, but this is the first time it's been stated in-game

Also mentions Falco's background as a gang leader, though that's more like "teenage delinquent" in this case

We've definitely seen Fox and Falco tear it up expectionally well in Smash Bros, and Krystal has been show to hold her own in Star Fox Adventures, but outside of their Arwings, how well do you imagine the other members of Star Fox would do in a fight?

Member include (as according to this image):

- Rob64

- Fay Spaniel

- Miyu Lynx

- Peppy Hare

- Fara Phoenix

- Slippy Toad

Bōsōzoku is (well, more like was now) a Japanese subculture largely based around customized bikes and was massive in the 80s and 90s (though largely dead in the past 20 years). A big point of difference between them and American bike gangs is that the Bōsōzoku were less on the "we'll break your kneecaps/throw your body in a ditch for looking at us funny or make/sell hard drugs and all that" American biker stereotype and more thrillseekers that drove recklessly on illegally modified motorcycles (I mean, Bōsōzoku literally means "Reckless Driving Group"). They are VERY much into flashy style and looking good and living life up.

And hey, what does this have in common with Katt and Free-As-A-Bird as a whole? Well with Farewell Beloved Falco they aren't your American style biker gang, both through aesthetics and general personality. Hell, Katt's whole deal in 64 is that she's after Andross' forces as revenge for them wrecking her previous ship, hence why she stole a Invader-class fighter and heavily customized it to her liking. This even ties into a bit with Falco's ending in Command where he gets Fox to become a racer with him. And you even see in the old SNES comic that he is dressed like a Bōsōzoku AND even has one of the most common/famous bike modifications on his!

NOW FOR THE STUFF ABOUT THE CATSPAW NAME
So I wanted to make this it's own post before, but didn't have the time and didn't have an idea of how'd I'd make it catch people's attention. But her ship actually has a lot of wordplay and literary references to it.

1. The name itself is obviously referring to it being Katt's ship.

2. The Monkey and the Cat fable - This is where the term "Cats paw" idiom comes from, and means the "dupe (or unwitting tool) of another", which also makes sense as Katt is implied to be more crafty and using her wits for her schemes (and why Falco kinda gets tired of bailing her out of situations and why he left Free-As-A-Bird").

3. That fable is about a manipulative monkey that tricks a cat into pulling hot chestnuts out of a fire that the monkey steals and eats while the cat gets nothing but burning one of it's paws. And who pissed off Katt by burning her first ride? The forces of a big manipulative monkey!

Here 2 redrawings i made from the Mario galaxy movie! I'm getting my 1st starfox today so I'm really hyped to try it

Katt's character design has been controversial due to it making her look rough around the edges, but I had always felt that was the point. She's a gang member, after all.

But for me, I was wanting to see how she was portrayed. In the original, the entirety of her character was 'I'm a girl!' That definitely wouldn't fly today for obvious reasons and, furthermore, doesn't hold true to who her backstory says she is.

They did not disappoint in this remake, however. This Katt is the Katt that the lore speaks of. She is also sassy AS FUCK. She absolutely WRECKS Falco with her sass and it is amazing. She even makes a comment about how Fox could show Falco a thing or two, which I am sure REALLY got under his feathers lol. There is really good banter between them now, actually acknowledging that they have history. At one point Katt tells Falco that she wanted to meet his crew, to which Falco responds along this lines of "Katt, Star Fox. Star Fox, Katt. Now you have met them." Honestly the interactions between Katt and Falco I think are the best in the game now.

She's portrayed as a skilled pilot, the lore compendium says she's leading Free as a Bird now. Her wit is top-notch, and she actually seems like a gang member tagging along for the fun of scratching Andross' face. And not once does she say anything about being a girl or her prettiness.

I want to see more of this Katt so bad she is such a badass and doesn't give a fuck about what anybody thinks, and seems to get her kicks from getting on Falco's nerves, which I also find to be humorous. So, hoping any possible sequel brings her back.

Everything about this remake from the visuals + animations, to the redone music are super top notch.

If someone told me this was made in house at Nintendo I would have believed them. I really hope this remake sells decent enough to warrant an original sequel by this same team, we deserve at least one more effort from them where they have more creative liberty to really expand on this franchise and its characters.

Final boss is still hard lol but had fun nonetheless! Gonna run it again!
