TMB, lets put SFA stuff in with Virtual Boy, and never speak of it again. God I still have nightmares from how horrible that game was. I was all upset about Rare leaving until I played that game, then I cheered Ninty for getting rid of them.

SFA is not that bad. In fact it can be pretty fun but it's also incredibly boring at some points. Except for the graphics it's nothing special. If you want to play a good Zelda clone buy "Beyond Good & Evil", it's not flawless either but it's definitely more fun than SFA.

I have a Virtual Boy

It wasn't an earth shattering title, but the music was extremely cool. Otherwise it was just Dinosaur Planet with Starfox characters thrown in at the last second.

The only Nintendo systems I lack are the Game and Watch units, an NES, and a Virtual Boy, and I'm only gonna be able to find one of those in this town for a reasonable price .

I...have a Virtual Boy. It's somewhere around here, or I think I let a friend borrow it and he hasn't given it back yet.

I have a few Game and Watches, but they're all broken.

Are you sure it was a virtual boy you left with him and not a flaming bag of sh*t?

Okay, I went back and watched the Nsider DVD again, and saw the trailer. Now I suddenly can't wait for this game. The first "true" Starfox game made for no reason other than to blow stuff up. No Rumble pack to test out, no polygon enhancing chips to demonstrate. Just blow sh*t up. I want this game.

The graphics of the space levels look really awesome.

Have yo heard some of the soundtrack from the E3 videos? It sounded fully orchestrated. I'm sure that wasn't inserted music either because the song was the Cornarian march from Star Fox 64. Namco apprently went all out on the budget.

Namco likes to outdo themselves. (Last Tales game, anyone?)

It's good to see another Star Fox game--hopefully, this will be a little more difficult than the last SF game. I still hate Fox's outfit. But, there's hope. No Andross this time (least, that's what NP says . . .)

Anyone anticipating Katt Monroe/ Bill Grey?

Is there anyone else who has...no intrest in this game? I've been looking at some stuff for it, and it just doesn't seem interesting at all. I'll try it of course, but it looks pretty mediocre to me.

I never liked the Starfox games other than Starfox 64. That game kept me busy for hours, even though you didn't even need an hour to beat it. I just don't see him as an action character without his ship.

I always liked the dog fights levels. You know where you fight the Wolf guy and everything. Those were really fun, and that one Independence Day type level with the pyramid. That was another awesome one. If there are lots of levels like that then I'd be pretty damn happy and I'd probably buy it. I'm actually gonna go look at some more stuff for it right now.
