star fox

I'm always talking about the WiiU, NES, SNES, etc. I mean, those are great consoles and they remind of my childhood quite a bit when I play them. Believe it or not, for awhile, I fell out of video gaming for a time when I was early in high school. The new game consoles were coming out and I just didn't care about them at all.

Nintendo, you had one job this holiday season, and that was to release the highly anticipated new Star Fox game for your home video game console before Christmas. And now you're telling me, that isn't going to happen.

Well, it took a really long time, but a new Star Fox game is finally on the horizon! Officially announced today during Nintendo's Digital Event, Shigeru Miyamoto showed game play, video, cut scenes, and clarified where the game sits in the Star Fox storyline. That's where the hint of disappointment comes in.

Did you know that the video game Star Fox 2 was cancelled as it was nearly if not completely done? Pretty cool right?

Star Fox is one of the most cherished Nintendo video games of all time. When it was first released on the Super Nintendo, it dazzled gamers with polygon graphics. It really hit home when the Nintendo 64 version came around though. Along with it, was the numerous references you can make to the game, especially one liners.

Crazy to think that Star Fox for SNES is over 20 years old! When this game came out, my mind was blown. The 3D polygon graphics from the Super FX chip were things to marvel at. However, if you show this game to anyone today, it's considered extremely dates and looks likes crap. While I do agree that the graphics are nothing exciting today, at one point in 1993, they were top of the line.

Here it is! Games To Try Before You Die has now been created into VIDEO! Exciting right? The first game we look at is the classic, Star Fox 64!

At a small pre-E3 event, Nintendo icon Shigeru Miyamoto gave a demonstration of an early Wii U prototype of the next installment in the Star Fox series.

Look at the games that we have today. They look all nice and polished and stuff, we strive for realism in games all of the time. If it doesn't look real, it looks like crap. Back then, getting realism in a game was difficult, hell...even getting a 3D perspective what felt like it was impossible! Then Star Fox came along and said, "Graphics?! HELL YEA MAN! We have the Super FX chip!" Read
