The original N64 game was rated "K-A" by the ESRB, which meant the game was for "KIDS TO ADULTS". The Virtual Console version received the updated ESRB rating of "Everyone" with "Violence" listed at the only content for gamers/parents to be aware of.
If you are a Nintendo 3DS owner, Nintendo is releasing Star Fox 64 3D tomorrow, September 9, for the system. The 3DS version of Star Fox 64 has a MSRP of $39.99, and features updated graphics and two control methods, one which uses the 3DS' gyroscopes, and it features local multiplayer across 3DS systems.
So, with Star Fox 64 3D releasing this week, how many hours Wii owners have played the Virtual Console version of Star Fox 64; and do the reported hours show Star Fox 64 3D might be wort...

Usually, they’re hampered by attempted innovation with new control schemes or gimmicks. Still, there’s a lot to enjoy with the beloved Nintendo franchise. To celebrate, we’re going to rank the best Star Fox games in the franchise. To come up with the order, we’re mixing in a little bit of Metacritic ranking and author opinion."

Whenever a game introduces a train, it’s easy to get excited over the design and challenges this level may bring. Whether it’s an aesthetic set piece or a labyrinth of cars to make your way through, here’s our list of our top ten favorite trains in video games."
It is. There's no way a list of this type of any credibility would forget that train.

Oh boy here we go! With that Mario 64 PC port out and about. I bet we get a OoT one next!!
I want to know the story of how the source codes are getting leaked almost 25 years after the games came out. Did an old programmer have them and sit on them all this time, or were the codes unlocked from the vaults because Nintendo is going to offer them on Nintendo Online or is using them to make remasters for the Switch?
Undoubtedly illegal PC ports will be made and that’s illegal. But I have sympathy with people who want to play some of the greatest games of the N64 generation, in fact of all time, but have no means to. Nintendo has these wonderful assets and should refresh them for a new generation.
Those codes or engines or whatever didn't worth much untill Switch raised some dust.
So now they got leaked for monez
I think a lot of effort would still be required to make ports off this source code. Still need the assets, and some sort of emulator. Not to mention the source code is programmed in assembly, and to my knowledge it would require a compiler to make anything out of it. Seems like people would just do it themselves with their own code, or use an emulated version, since it's just the algorithms that one could copy to make this into anything. I doubt this is a huge problem for Nintendo, although it's not generally something you want done, as there may indeed be code in there that you don't want out in the public for whatever reason.
I can't help but think it's tied to Ryan Hernandez in some way since he phished a Nintendo employee.
Won't mean anything. People will still buy these games if Nintendo remasterd them on Switch. I'm still waiting for a Mario Sunshine remaster. I wouldn't mind to play some PC ports of them, I have SM64 PC port, but if Nintendo remastered it for Switch I would buy it.
I think we know which one is the best option to get. Maybe if they included wifi multiplyer. Then it would have been worth it.
I have ordered 3D version, can't wait! :)
Never played the original, so getting the 3DS version is ok with me, but I can see where he's getting at with this.
