First Game is the Best

Possibly a hot take, but Starfox.

While Starfox 64 benefitted from superior technology and performance, I feel like the SNES original captured the feeling of an epic space opera just that little bit better; the settings were more interesting (Macbeth as a volcanic hellscape was cooler than it being a factory planet, Fortuna as a dinosaur planet was cooler than it being a snowball) characters actually died instead of just going back for repairs which raised the stakes, and the soundtrack hit harder.
