It's funny that you insinuate that you couldn't handle one hit after another 🤔 But you look like you were in diapers during these banger after banger days you lament. Lol.

good ol' turok, as foggy as I remember you. Never ever heard about the Gameboy game but wow that soundtrack is so good!

Whew. I saw the beard in the thumbnail and was about to scroll pas then I realized "hey waitaminit now. That ain't Completionist." Honestly ... given the depths of the scumbaggery he's been involved in, if I never saw another of his videos, it'd still be too soon. That said... [lights cigar... sips scotch] ... show me what you got to say about the game that MADE Metroid. [Puffs cigar] ... this'll be good.

Ah, Stairfax Temperatures

I love Golden Sun and the series. I don't know this guy. ....now I like both.

Hope you're having a good day

Ive adapted Nintendo's old NES/SNES rule of video games; 30 minutes. A video game has 30 minutes to hook me and if in 30 minutes I'm not having fun, I'm dropping the game. I realize I have less patience than most people but it literally took me a whole ass year to beat Tears of the Kingdom. I don't have time to have a "backlog" of games I *need* to play. I don't *need* to do anything other than have fun playing a video game. What especially gets on my nerves is the incessant need to have hour long tutorials in video games. Like shut up, I know how to move a character and the camera, no need to make a training grounds or a VR mission to teach me this. Be more like RE4 R or Elden Ring; have a quick 5 minute cutscene telling you what's going on and by the 30 minute mark, you're out in the meat of the game, learning as you play. If you gotta say "the game doesn't get good til the so-and-so hour mark." I'm not gonna play it. The game should be good from beginning to end, period. And if it's a game that has definitely peaked my interest but have no desire to play it because it's not instantly fun, I'll watch a video about it. I feel like that's way more satisfying than forcing myself to play it. I'll get to know what the game is about and won't feel like I'm missing out.

Yepp. First time I got to the end of golden sun 1... I thought I had gotten a "bad" ending by my choices. Turned out, none of my choices didnt matter and it was ENTIRELY needless for me to grind to level 60 before the second lighthouse. Probably detrimental, in fact.

Hmmm... Metroid Fusion, Metroid Diffusion, Metroid Confusion

4:08 Mode 7 can only rotate & scale backgrounds, not sprites.

Sir, you narrate in a manner as if you fell asleep for two weeks straight with RUclips autoplaying Stop Skeletons from Fighting on loop. If Uncle Derek ever gets covid or something and develops vocal troubles, it's good to know we have an understudy we can use to record overdubs. That's not a bad thing.

I know this was 2 years ago but I love that they made the title the non-abbreviation of the word "SR" in SR-388

Love this game. Great video covering it. 👍

'Digging this video, also appreciate seeing people with a platform normalize talking about trauma - games carried a lot of us. 'Keep making videos! :-)

As a kid who LOVED the 64 game, being able to play something like it on a portable was a dream come true, and I loved this game even with all its flaws. Great job with the retrospective!

I guess i like the Star Fox games people hate. I was really digging this one when it came out... but by the 5th play through i was like "okay, imma just gonna google the endings now" 😂. And i really like Zero, it may even be my favorite. Although, it did take like 2 and half playthroughs before the controls clicked. Thats.. thats way too long and i can understand why people gave up on it immediately.

Your videos are so good! I watched the entire Metroid series and you’re making some of the better content on this site, this video included. Excited for the next video!

Dude I feel you. These games shaped my brain as a child. Plus the soundtrack slaps.

I think people only started looking on the game negatively in hindsight, anyone playing it when it was new thought it was cool. Especially since it had the best multiplayer and download multi like Mario Kart, so only 1 person had to own the game and 4 could play. That was gold on the band bus.

9:54 is that the Elemental Stars soundtrack from Golden Sun playing?

There are many games I really enjoyed because I was forced to play them due to constraints like you and the hurricane. For me it was lunch hour at work. I could only play games on my phone. So I played ports and emulated games I would have dropped otherwise.

maybe the next star fox game should adopt the concept from battlezone vr which is now battlezone gold meaning it no longer needs VR, it was real time strategy like star fox 2 but with tanks well instead of protecting your base like in star fox to by destroying missiles and bases before you could fight andross in battlezone you have to destroy these shield generators before taking on the volcano, well it's easier said than done because you have to worry about the enemies power level after it reaches the max of the enemies power level they bring out something called the nemesis a very tough boss tank, well maybe the next star fox should have a thing where andross is on a base protected by an energy field and you would have go to different planets and have to destroy all the shield generators before you go to fight andross, and if the enemies power level reaches max just like in battlezone andross puts a major boss on the map that if you run into it you have to fight it just like with the nemesis tank in battlezone.

I was also obsessed with the music. I remade the entire soundtrack. 80% of what I made is garbage but you may like my remakes of Jupiter Lighthouse, Lemuria, and Aqua Rock. Search Golden Sun Remastered Aqua Rock for example to find it.

We need starfox 64 maker.

interesting enough Imamura just confirmed this month the Marcus ending was indeed intended to be the canon ending. Also interesting enough some of the devs once said in a interview that originally they had planned on doing a sequel to Command for the launch of the 3DS but they wouldn't have enough dev time to do it right, which is why they pivoted to doing a StarFox Prequel with James before finally pivoting to simply remaking SF64 for the 3DS

It really feels like the story was supposed to take place like... 150-200 years after the original games. The old cast could have still been around because of the Golden Sun event and we just follow thier grand or great grand kids. Could make the whole outliving their children a tangible story beat... that could then be foisted on the new cast as well because of what happens during the grave eclipse. The only real sticking points are Elio, (but he also could have just been a descendant or a random pirate claiming to be one,) and Himi, who could have also just been a decendant of Kusharna Theres also a pretty good argument to be made that the cast is just too big for a first game. Especially with the fact that the points of no return never leave, making the post game feel really lacking compared to lost age. Himi doesnt really get a chance to shine despite being cool to use in combat and somewhat interesting from a story standpoint. Amiti and Sveta are much more interesting from a character standpoint than really any of the first four... I feel like there's a decent case to make sliming the cast to 6 or even four... if it were a cast of six, Sveta and Amiti could have been Umbra and Sol adepts..... with Mathew as a mars(making him more like Jenna), Karis as wind (with a more offensive focus, kinda like Sveta in the actual game), Himi as venus, and Elio as a mercury, maybe teasing at a Peirs connection, or him claimbing one as a brag. Despite me being a die-hard fan who loves the characters of the original two, i can see where people are coming from when calling the characters and writing of the first game simplistic. (You're meant to recontectualize all that with the second game but w/e). The original two had two whole games to develop the cast of 8 where DD tries to do it in one... I will say I do like the characterization of Isaac in DD. Him being the kinda guy who wants to stay in a remote area "keeping watch" and training, while being the kind of father who's eager to push Mathew and Tyrell on a journey does a lot for both his characterization and Mathew's. Still wish Felix and the lost age crew would have shown up :< Also i think the points of no return are more likely to blindside players because of the whole Rockfeather quest. It feels like the kind of thing that should get resolved in the first 5 hours of a game... and i remember when i played DD for the first time i kept thinking like... "well, ill just keep playing until this little side thing is done", and it spured me to pass a few of the points before I might have if the narrative was more like "well, we dont really know what to do, so take some time and investigate" which as a pretty big thing in the first two. Hey wait.... do the points of no return and getting mind read so late happen because they didnt want to write all that extra dialogue???? It kills me because mindread is such a fun and crucial feature to what i think is the core appeal of the first two games. The disapointment does sting and fester, but this video does make me think i should give it another shot... a lot of the problems and shortcomings feel like they are meant to be tackled in a second game. Much like playing the first game without playing the lost age.... its just sad because i remember every GS fan i knew at the time purchased the game day one and were even like "guys! Lets not criticize too harshly because they might not make another one!" So i think a lot of the fandom's resentment simmered and was pushed onto DD.... but yeah... maybe someday... GS4... itts not impossible 🥲 (I also hope for a legend of dragoon remake or sequal 😢)

I love these games but i have my own head canon that the main characters are constantly yelling at whoever is currently making life difficult for them "Hey if you just told me what was going on that would be really helpful like maybe we'd even be on the same side if youd just stop being purposely cryptic!!"

20:27 If you've looked up research on Climate Activism, it literally IS that simple, but major corporations won't be able to make as much money off of clean energy, and that's why climate activists are so pissed about it.

I don't hate Star Fox Adventures, it's just okay though. I personally think that Adventures should've been Dinosaur Planet which would've helped Rare with a new Ip & the furries still get their furry queen Krystal, & Star Fox fans wouldn't be in one of the biggest civil wars in video game history. Imagine that reality, well, we can't, because we don't know what that would've been like.

Nice review. Next you should do DOOM for the Super NES.

Cerebral bore !!!

This game looks cheesy as hell and I love it. Also, I may be in the minority but I love these old school graphics. The polygons being so low makes me happy. ❤️

(My opinion) Assault is the best Star Fox game, but the main reason it sold mediocrely is because of bad marketing, & it was only out for about a year before the Wii came out, so I'm still confused to this day on why Nintendo never ported it to the Wii.

I feel like Command should've been an all-out huge budget Wii game, not a cheap DS game. It's also a crime for a Star Fox game to not have traditional voice acting, like, it's what the franchise is partly known for.
