Starfox 64

Developed by Nintendo EAD and published by Nintendo, Starfox 64 first launched in Japan in 1997, rebuilding the original Super Nintendo game’s space-combat premise for Nintendo 64. Fox McCloud and his squadron return to fight Andross across the Lylat system, with tightly directed flight stages, more open All-Range Mode battles, and occasional missions in the Landmaster tank or Blue-Marine submarine. It also helped establish controller vibration as a mainstream console feature through its support for Nintendo’s Rumble Pak.The clever part is how much fits inside a relatively short campaign. Alternate routes depend on what you accomplish during missions, so rescuing a teammate or meeting a particular objective can send your next run somewhere different. Chasing medals and higher scores gives those stages staying power, while constant radio chatter turns your wingmen into memorable personalities rather than background decoration. This Japanese release features Japanese dialogue and text; the game was released in PAL territories under the name Lylat Wars.This loose Japanese copy is in good condition and is a common find in our shop. It has been inspected, cleaned and tested by hand at Broad Street Exchange in Woodbury, NJ.
