Star Fox 64 - RetroAchievements

For Game #43, I had to do this before the remake comes out later in June, and that's Star Fox 64. It's a good thing I don't do mic and facecam for these videos, because I could quote every line from this game for how much I played this growing up. And I'm sure I would drive you all insane with that. I never tried to get insanely good with score runs or anything like that, but this one is such an iconic classic that I never got bored replaying this over and over again. The achievement set wasn't too challenging. It's basically get all the medals on normal and expert plus a few other odds and ends that mostly come naturally. The two that gave me the most trouble were The Great Defender (Deflect 200 shots in Sector X before reaching Spyborg or using the Warp Zone) and Landmaster Item Hunter (Collect 31 items on Titania). Not that they were insanely difficult, but they were unique challenges that I had never tried before and just needed to get a few things down. It is a little annoying that you can't level select if you are struggling with a medal on a certain level (we'll be able to in the remake on challenge mode!), but it's really easy to gain a lot of lives in this game, and you can at least retry that mostly solves it. I admit some it is nostalgia, but between the variety in stages, the different pathing, the banger soundtracks, hilarious quotes, etc - this is easily one of my favorites for the Nintendo 64. As a side note, I get a fair amount of people are bummed they are remaking Star Fox 64 again instead of an actual new game. Trust me, I want a new game too. But, this remake (at least from what we have seen) looks like it blows the others out of the water, and it looks like the actual remake it deserves. Hopefully, the gameplay/story is as good as the visuals from what we saw in the Star Fox Direct. I can't wait to play it.
