Nintendo's Forgotten Masterpiece - Star Fox Adventures

Any fans of Star Fox Adventures here? I gotta find other! Also thanks so much for watching the video, and to all those new subscribers! Loves ya all x

I will forever defend this game. It got so much hate for no reason.

Star Fox Adventurers is just such a meaningful game to me. A hard and satisfying game with so much story. I remember being so satisfied when finally figuring out a puzzle or getting enough scarabs for an item. Just an awesome game that I’m so glad someone’s talking about.

It's so refreshing to hear people talk positively about this game. I think the reason the game was disliked isn't bcuz it was bad but bcuz they weren't ready for something different such as Fox being on foot investigating etc. Adventures isn't a bad game whatsoever ever people are just blinded by Star Fox 64 nostalgia

Some clarification on this game's development. Some former Rare employees that worked on Star Fox Adventures and its N64 incarnation Dinosaur Planet said they weren't forced to readjust it to be part of that series. Miyamoto had been visiting Rare's office to see the latest build of Dinosaur Planet and noted how similar Saber, the male wolf that shared the protagonist role with Krystal, looked and sounded very similar to Fox McCloud. At the time, Miyamoto and Imamura had also been planning the next entry in the Star Fox series in which they wanted it to have a more action adventure approach outside the cockpit. The heads of Rare took Miyamoto up on the idea, believing attaching their new world and story to a popular series like Star Fox would garner more success than if it was just a standalone entry. That's not to say the decision ended up benefiting the game overall. The transition from N64 to Gamecube meant most of the game had to be redone and Microsoft's buyout of Rare forced them to cut almost all the original story and levels they originally had planned. Even Krystal was almost removed from the game until Miyamoto told them to keep her in (and to change her appearance to have more sex appeal). Having seen the leaked builds of Dinosaur Planet I can't really say weather that version would have been better than the tarnished gem Star Fox Adventures ended up being. It had some ambitious story and character elements for an N64 title, but the writing and gameplay seemed like they needed a lot more refinement to be more than another one-off title. I still hold out some hope Nintendo will give Star Fox Adventures the overhauled remake treatment one day. They've tried recapturing the magic of the original rail shooter with significantly diminished returns each time. Meanwhile, Krystal and the narrative of Dinosaur planet have been there, waiting to provide a solid path forward for the franchise.

I always love how fox look in this.

First game I played on GameCube; started it on Christmas Day after opening presents. Nostalgia doesn’t even begin to cover my feelings for this game. Heart❤

I absolutely LOVED star fox adventures growing up. I would love for them to bring this back!

This game will always have a special place in my heart.

It was my first Star Fox game I’ve ever played, being 6-7 years old and not a native english speaker I ended up stuck always not knowing what to do, where to go or what was even going on with the story. Ended up learning english just because of videogames and when I finally returned to this game, at 12 or 13 years old I definitely was not dissapointed, I loved every aspect of the game (except for the mission where you mount a mammot in an ice storm and have to eat fruit like things to keep the mammot going, I failed that mission more times than I can count), but the story was deep and entertaining, the music was a masterpiece, staff upgrades were amazing, combat system was simple but still fun, puzzles were complex enough to still be entertaining without being tedious. Star Fox Adventures was and still is one of my favorite games of all times, a truly masterpiece. I’ll give it a 9.3/10, only reason it is not a 10/10 is that Scales boss fight was thrown away when it had so much potential, and Andross Boss Fight was really easy and simple for a final boss.

As someone who grew up with Starfox 64 this game not only felt like a treat, but a filling meal every time i would dive further.

I loved it, always got stuck on the sequence when you had to button-mash to beat that dinosaur person. I had to ask my mum to buy a controller that had a select button whivh would just make that mission easy 😂

This game looks amazing on a CRT. Freaking next-next gen when it came out. Still holds up graphically

Played this game when I was younger but just beat it for the first time recently it was so awesome. I’m now playing assault!

I think star fox adventures is a classic and the graphics and voice acting was ahead of it’s time one of the best looking games on GameCube

As a 90’s kid I can def agree this game was pretty cool especially at the time. Earned a double week rental from Blockbuster for sure.

I agree; it was a refreshing experiment with lots of potential. It’s quite sad to see how the series has been in a strange limbo ever since. Great video, buddy 🙌

This game is still in my hearth till this day. I really fking love it from day one. I was 8 or 9 when this game came out. And was so in love with the setting and music. What a good game 🖤👌🏻

Yoshi’s Island is another game where you get swallowed by a giant monster and have to beat the dangly thing to escape. Super Nintendo game. Worth checking out 💪🏻

That button mashing section where you have to push the lizard into the pit still haunts me
