More than any singular Nintendo franchise which has moved around between different development teams (like Donkey Kong, F-Zero, or Metroid), Star Fox's branching treatment, having never been under the same team twice (Argonaut, EAD, Rare, Namco, Q Games) has completely shattered the game's continuity, which is best exemplified by the horrendously garbled mess that StarFox Command was (and its garbledness was not exclusively due to its branching storylines, but also comes from sudden, radical changes in characters, namely Krystal's sudden switch to a Chaotic Neutral persona), it seems that the story has become frayed beyond the point of reconstitution, and that Nintendo's going to scrap the continuity of Adventures, Assault, and Command, and just start things back from the beginning again

Which wouldn't be the first time they've done this to Star Fox, which is why 64 had differences from the original game on a few key points (namely the ending, though i've never played StarFox so someone there will need to fill me in), but 64's story was the one they ran with. Perhaps they're doing so again, which is why i'm curious to see more about this game (if it's a full-on remake, or if they will again add in certain differences

Basically the question is: will the *next* Star Fox, after 64 3DS, build off 64, or off Command?

I just want another Starfox Adventures like sequel.

That game, despite not belonging to the shooter genre that embraces the franchise, it was a very good game on the Starfox Universe.

Some of 64's tunes stand up well, but music was one realm where Assault excelled, especially their revised Star Wolf theme

Available on Youtube, i assume and hope. I'll have to give it a try

Get some copyright infringement going in here and link to the tunes on Youtube, would you?

Gotta admit, the original Corneria theme is tons better.

The only theme in SF64 that was really exemplary was the StarWolf theme, which I preferred to the Assault version.

It's on a completely different theme, really. The best music of the old era vs the earliest music of the new era (though still good i maintain, clearly the audio limitations of the N64 come into play)

I imagine the original was a far more psychadelic experience on the whole, though this thread already risks horrid derailment (my original intention was to complain about Command's horrid plot)

I really hope so, but I doubt it will happen

Maybe they'll redo Starfox 64's soundtrack.

That would be nice.

It was an effort to give the game more depth through branching storylines, similar to what was done in 64, except that your choices had more impact than stage selection. The character plot was where it fell apart, ballooning the cast and altering characterizations (as i said before: Krystal. Suddenly she's the kind of person who would join Star Wolf, and does). Many of the endings were downright depressing, some were clearly throwaway jokes (including the one where Fox and Falco leave Lylat behind entirely so that they can join the G-Zero Racing League, seriously), the enemies were a race of mutants left behind on Venom from Andross' experiments. It was a good idea, but poorly executed, something that Q-Games acknowledged, because the rumor was that their intentions for a sequel involved basically re-doing the plot of Command into something more recognizable
