Go to buyraycon.com/somecallmejohnny for 15% off your order! Brought to you by Raycon.
Round 2 is back in action, and today's subject is the officially released Star Fox 2! Thought to have been a cancelled game forever, the game is now fully available on the SNES Classic and Nintendo Switch Online Service! So how does it stack up against the prototypes and, most importantly, other games in the series?

[@Werewolfwrath]

8:58 "There is absolutely no reason to play Star Fox 2 when games like Star Fox 64 are better in just about every category." I'm gonna have to respectfully disagree with you there. While I get your arguments against it such the games clunkyness, the walker and strategic elements make it stand out from the other games (without being too divisive like Assault's ground missions) and I feel that gives more reason to want to go back to it. Now saying you don't want to go back to the original game when 64 exists makes more sense since 64 was literally a reboot of it, although even then I personally still like to revist the original as well.

[@takeoutfromchina3166]

Werewolfwrath, StarFox 64's statue is to blame for some of the biggest issues in the series, including: overshadowing, purists that ignore the original and latch onto the reboot as if it were the original, stagnation, and bad fan service. Don't get me wrong 64 is a good game, heck the controls, the objective paths mechanic, and characters got me in love, but it's not so good that it makes innovation obsolete. Do people still enjoy those landmaster and blue marine sections because last I checked people tried to avoid them. I bring all of this to say that we shouldn't ignore the good in the other games and that incorporating the good doesn't hurt. It also helps to remove the Rose tinted glasses that everyone likes to wear these days.

[@abloogywoogywoo]

But _everyone wanted_ Star Fox 2 until they realized it just wasn't as good as the original Star Fox. For me, its the bloody laggy frame rate and camera issues that kill it for me. Not a very good experience. I like to feel in control, and not griefed by General Pepper constantly. I'd rather Star Fox 64.

[@Z95HeadHunter]

StarFox Assault and StarFox 2 are both better directions to take the series than StarFox 64, and I think it shows given how Zero went out. Even without the motion controls I have so many problems with Zero. It's hype crashed and burned fast and the game inevitably flopped.

In short, he pulled the old "Doombot" trick --- and Star Fox 2 was the second time he did so. Had Star Fox 64 been a continuation instead of a reboot, I could see the Hard Venom Path as the team finally killing Andross for good.

I’m happy to hear some positive comments on Star Fox Zero, especially amidst all the forced negativity towards it. I’d be more than happy to replay it. I’ll admit that I avoided the motions controls at first, but once I embraced them, dude! Anything I can do normally, the motion controls made me do it a minute faster!

[@awkwardsilence4427]

Man, honestly my biggest disappointment with that game was the severe lack of quality & content in the alternate route stages. To reach them typically you had to find a portal in the mission you’re in, which instantly and abruptly ends the mission you’re in. And they’re typically only like either half the size of a main route mission (like being just a boss fight for instance). They felt off. And then the gyro-copter vehicle. Like, on the one hand I actually do love the thing and the levels they’re in...but on the other hand, they’re do really kill the pace of a typical Star Fox run. I think I’d prefer to just have one massive version of a route that goes though all the stages. It could be easily done, with just a slight tweaking here and there. Sure, it’d feel wildly different from the typical Star Fox formula...but in my opinion even if so it’d still be better than what we got in Zero.

[@CBreezie]

Nearly everything that Star Fox 2 does Command (and partially Zero) does too, so for anyone interested in these mechanics in a less clunky game should definitely check that out. It's sad that they didn't give Miyu and Fay another chance in more recent games. As I said, most mechanics have been explored in other titles, but those characters got lost entirely in time, which feels to me like some wasted potential to expand the cast.

I like Miyu and Fay. They deserve to return in a new game. Miyu looks like a badass and Fay is so cutie

[@byronlyons3548]

Ooof, no, not Command. Even Johnny said this game is better to be played than that. And for good reasons. The only thing I can give Command credit for, is it having more varied ships and playable characters than Star Fox 2, but that's all it has going for it. As for Miyu and Fay, as other's had said and it being pointed out, they kind of more or less have been replaced by the newer characters. One of them by Krystal, and the other (or the same one) by Katt.

It will obviously do better because on Wii U you had to use the gamepad for gimmick reasons. But Switch has no gamepad so it's easily a better experience.

[@awkwardsilence4427]

I just wonder how feasible it’d be. Like, I was going to say that it’d be easy - just have a button you press to switch views - but thinking about it I remember there being a couple bosses where that may not work, specifically the ones where in the outer view you’re literally flying to the left or right of the screen.

Nope. That ship has already sailed. No need to go back.

[@MelancholyJoker19]

Zero's main issues was the Wii U and the cockpit control scheme not being optional. That was fine to innovate but most people wanted to just shoot enemies on screen, not be looking back and forth on a control pad and TV to get the "accurate" shots

[@UnrivaledPiercer]

Zero definitely deserves a reworked Switch release. As long as they don't remove one gimmick for another. If they strip the gamepad controls then force motion controls it won't fix the problem. The game desperately needs traditional control methods. They can add motion controls as an option, but they shouldn't be forced on the player. I bought Zero day 1, and I don't regret it, but I also haven't touched it again since about a week after launch. I did EVENTUALLY get used to the controls, but just because I got used to them doesn't mean I like them. #JusticeForZero

[@randomnpc445]

Man, I applaud you and anyone else for being able to discern anything from the first two star fox games. Maybe it's just me but I find the (unavoidably) atrocious framerate to be way to distracting for me to even attempt to play these. I wonder if anyone has ever tried using an emulator or something to mod the games so they perform a bit better.

[@Dal_9000]

11:45 I love ya, Johnny, but I'mma have to disagree with you here. Star Fox Zero failed because it was a shooter in which the devs purposefully gimped the aiming in order to shove a hardware gimmick down our throats. That's just bad game design. Make no mistake, I'd love to see Star Fox Zero come to Switch, but only if they actually...you know...made the game good.

[@toamatoro570]

People at the time were constantly bitching for Nintendo to utilize the gamepad and when they did they were criticized for it. I can agree that adding an analog aiming option for those uninterested in the gyroscope would have been a good way to make the game more accessible but I firmly believe it's hated due to gaming journalists giving it a prematurely bad reputation. You don't see people giving Zelda shit for gyroscope bow aiming. It's Zero's lack of additional content to warrant a 50 dollar purchase that bothers me, not so much the game design itself.

[@Dal_9000]

@@toamatoro570 I understand where you're coming from. I think Zelda's inclusion of gyro aiming enhanced the experience without sacrificing anything to do so. Star Fox Zero's issue is that they actively made aiming inaccurate where it wasn't before, just to force people to use a far less fluent scheme. But you raise an excellent point that the amount of content for price wasn't what people expected in the modern year of the time. More original content and greater control options would have helped this game tremendously.

There's an artist named Picti on twitter who makes fantastic Miyu 3D art XD It is lewd tho.... I only learned the character wasn't an OC like a few days ago.

Zero was fun when not in all range mode😂(Peppys mission is an exception)

[@moonman4307]

It would be really neat to see a round 2 for terraria since johnny didnt even get past the wall of flesh last time, not to mention the last update for terraria recently came out and its pretty massive, but other than that great content i love to see ur vids regardless of the games u talk about

[@Hi-tg3xf]

I've been waiting for this review since you looked at it before nintendo officially released it! Great stuff

[@sterlingmuse5808]

I was wondering when you'd do a round 2 on this. Still feels weird that it's been 4 years since your original video on this game though.

[@mbookus3054]

The way I see it, StarFox 2 had a lot of really good ideas that give it lots of replayablility, different characters, randomised sessions, this game was held back mostly by its hardware and it shows

I am currently playing this on my SNES mini And where do you get the homing shot after collecting all the coins?

[@akl296]

That lovely spaceballs refetence

[@justinscott7546]

Absolutely love this game. So many cool details and collecting all the Pepper Medals reward you greatly. Also getting a Star Rank grants permanent twin blasters.

It would be cool if both Super NES Star Fox games got the Link’s Awakening HD treatment, maybe they’d go for a puppet look instead of an almost claymation look

You know in space battle you can change the cockpit view by pausing the game and select the camera 2, the reason why the homing shot wasn't available from the start is because that was intended to be unlockable, the black hole stage wasn't even finished but still exist in the final beta rom, the same goes for the twins laser was unlockable, the final built is better polished and minors details changes.
