Star Fox 64 - Main Menu Theme (Extended)

[@meinauto9048]

I remember when I first saw this game. I was 6 years old in 1998. My dad comes home from work with this awesome looking n64 box. No event or birthday. "Put it in", he tells me with a smile as he settles back on the couch. The fact he just surprised me on a whim then went about being dad just stuck with me. I remember that first level blowing me away. To a 6 year old it was real.

[@ChrisStuckmann]

Dear lord. I had the best childhood ever.

I was born 2000-2010 and my big brother was born early 90s. I was able to play this game. I love this game

I was born '93 as well. The Super Nintendo and more that drew us in and made us appreciate the classic way games just were. With the 64 and PS1 right around the corner which brought forth amazing three dimensional games. All the way up until now, it's been one crazy adventure. But this song is beautiful.. and it takes me back to the world that once was. It all feels like an entire life time ago... It has been... We are 29 years old now.. about to be 30... What a life it's been :'(...

[@I.Odnamra]

[@SupraRZ95]

I remember playing this when i was 9. Hearing this now sounds like the farewell music to my childhood. O how I wanted to grow up so fast. Yet little did I know how badly I would want to be young again.

[@megaprime67]

Exactly how I felt when listening to this. Years of of my youth just suddenly popped into my head. Its such a bittersweet song that I thought nothing of when I was 11. Now lsitening to it when I'm 19 it's amazing.

[@mattp.272]

I was 8 when I first owned this game and like you, this music takes me back to the days when my dad and I would play this game. We would be so determined to beat Andross and after defeating him we would sometimes just let this music play.

[@foxunsc1676]

SupraRZ95 it's back in starlink bro. and this music.

[@Vixen_Rose6404]

I first started playing SF64 back in 2009 when I was 4. In my opinion it was one of the best games ever, it's my favorite alongside Yoshi's Story and Minecraft as favorite games.

[@TheBanishedWind]

@SupraRZ95 (OP) The paradox of youth and age. The young want to be older, the old want to be young again.

[@numberofthefeast8232]

When i was 12 i always use to look up at the stars with the main menu theme playing in the background and imagine seeing the Great Fox with Fox,Falco,Peppy and Slippy just passing by on the tip of Earths atmosphere. But now i am 38 years old and went to look up again tonight and would'nt you beleive it, they just passed by with the ghost of James following behind in his Arwing....wow!

This really encapsulates the gold of Star Fox for me. On one hand you've got fuckin animals flying around in space with over the top enemies and fast paced rail shooting mechanics. On the other, everyone does take themselves seriously, and the story is pretty grim all things considered with losses and deaths on both sides. It's perfect because it leaves the vibe of the game open to the players interpretation, it doesn't try to force some message down your throat, it's just good fun that you can take as serious or as goofy as you'd like. Love this game.

Words cannot describe the music emitted here. The notes are magnificently smooth, and you feel an awesome sense: the game is taking you on a galactic adventure through time, in all its poetic glory. The game in itself was one of the best Nintendo games and one of the best games of all time. Star Fox 64 had amazing gameplay, and heroically ethereal soundtrack, at least this song does. You can't help but feel sad with the opening of the song, but by the end of the refrain your soul is lifted by the sounds of eerily divine chords. Strangest thing about this comment: I literally started humming this out of the blue whilst taking a massive sh*t (lol). You shall always be one of the best, Star Fox 64, play onward you beautiful music. Enjoy my friends, the legacy of Nintendo 64 remembered.

[@MrSidvick12]

why do we all come to this...? and why do we all connect..? it only reasures me that I wasn't the only one with an awesome childhood!! thank you nintendo!!

[@horgey1]

I also had a badass childhood

[@vellichor7676]

Good lord. Talk about a nostalgia bomb. Much of the N64 music library makes me feel this way; this theme in particular is really touching. About two years after this game was released a series of events happened in my parent's lives, and by extension mine and my siblings lives, that caused disquiet and pain for a decade after. Life overwhelmed us, and by the time I finally found steady ground again, I was an adult, with my own stresses and responsibilities to tend to. But when I listen to this, it really takes me back to being nine years old, summer light coming through the windows, no worries on the horizon yet. This song is so beautiful that it's practically angelic.

[@tacani_20]

Justin Taylor Man I couldn’t have said it better myself. The same kind of things happened to me and this just takes me back to when things were so much simpler.

[@ProjectArin]

The good old days of the world, the days of innocence. I wasn't as old, I do believe I was 5 when this game came out and we were playing it. The game is amazing. The song is fantastic. Calming and beautiful and heavily nostalgic. Takes me back to a world where I can no longer find. Back to being a young child. No where near as many stresses as there is now. And for me.. back to the times where my mother was still alive and well. It all feels so so long ago... Doesn't even feel like the same life time.. but here's to the beauty in the simplicity of our lives once upon a time. And to a beautiful song.

[@TheZavinskiStories]

This may be morbid, but this piece would probably make for the most beautiful, accepting atmosphere at a funeral

[@n3n3b3n3]

The Zavinski Stories always felt like this tune was sort of like a tune in remembrance of James McCloud

[@letsheresomevidyamusic3165]

i recently had a brush with death and i had the same thought that this is the song id like to have played at my own.

[@Knightwolf1994]

lets here some vidya music Just out of curiosity, what happened?

[@excalibur493]

Glad I'm not the only one who thought that.

[@AdamTopCommenter]

I can't be the only one who feels more of a "hopeful" vibe from this particular track and not simply "oh it's sad funeral music". That's lame to shove it in a box like that.

[@Rain0327]

Played this on the Virtual Console for the first time in months. This theme almost brought a tear to my eye. I never got to experience the N64 era myself (born in 1999, by the time I was old enough to start playing video games, the N64 was discontinued). But those who did must've had an awesome childhood that I would beg to have had.

[@Doughty321]

It was an amazing time to be a gamer in the late 90's, I was around 14 when the N64 came out and myself along with a few friends spent so many hrs playing the likes of this, Goldeneye, F-Zero, Mario Kart etc. Miss those days I do.

[@Martel4]

+WESKERfromEVIL Still tho. I was about 3 when I started playing on the NES. Everything from then to N64/PS1 was my childhood and you can't just replicate that experience in a different decade. I watched graphics and games change so much. Now game sounds tracks are almost always real scores, back then it was all bleep bloops and it was so fresh and unique and magical to those of us who got to experience it as kids. It was so much easier to really immerse yourself in these games because these were the most amazing graphics you had ever seen, these characters and worlds were so real to us. If you are playing it today to experience the past I just don't think you can get the same feeling.

+RainbowFalcon I was born in 1999 as well, but because the OSH care at my school had a bunch of old consoles, namely the Super Nintendo Entertainment System and the Nintendo 64, I could experience quite a few iconic retro games, and now feel nostalgia for games a lot of people 10 years older than me feel.

This song is not something you would expect in this game but I'm so thankful it was. Such a beautiful piece. Takes me back...

As someone born in 91, having had heard this song originally in the joyous times of my youth, nowadays, listening to this really brings back a whole lot of feelings and memories. Kind of makes me wish I could just hang out of my family in my Grandparents' game room again and all play games like this, and Goldeneye, and Super Mario 64. Great times.

[@Staalstraal]

One of the most immersive games ever...totally blew everything away that I played before it. The cinematic feel of the game, the distinct worlds, the beautiful music...my room suddenly became home to the most intruiging virtual galaxy i ever visited. I was hooked and completed the game tens of times. Even after having played it so much the raw shooting gameplay kept me coming back for more highscore-beating action. It all makes me sentimental towards my own youth but also to that time and place where some Japanese geniuses had the vision to make this game. What are all these people doing now? Will they ever feel nostalgic 1996, when they were elite software developers with the talent and financial backing to stun the world? Ramble ramble, all love for this game, but I still want another Starfox! Namco and Rare couldn't live up to the standards of the first two games, do it yourself Nintendo! And my plea echoes into cyberspace, sniff.

Proof that Kōji Kondō is the best Nintendo composer.

[@MrDragoniteTamer]

Imagine being a massive company like Nintendo and having as your "best" composer the guy that makes music for Mario games. David Wise, Kenji Yamamoto, ACE+, Jun Ishikawa, Junichi Masuda. And that's just me restricting to five composers that are way more better than Kondō.

[@daftcruz]

@@MrDragoniteTamer Mario and Zelda are highly regarded as having one of the most iconic soundtracks of all time, and both franchises were mostly composed by Koji Kondo. He's a legend like Nobuo Uematsu and Yasunori Mitsuda. Also it's kinda ironic that you're bragging onto that, since this video is from Star Fox 64 who Kondo also composed lol. If that's your logic...what the others have made? David Wise is mostly DKC, Kenji is mostly Metroid, Jun Ishikawa is mostly Kirby, Junichi Masuda is mostly Pokemon, ACE + is a group so it doesn't count. They are sure awesome composers but I don't think they're at the same level as Koji Kondo.

I know no one will see this comment, but regardless. I’ve never played a Star Fox game before. I tried zero, but couldn’t get into it. But something about this theme strikes a spiritual nerve with me. It makes me realize that the life I live and the perspective I see every day is so SO small compared to how awesome the rest of the world is! I can’t wait to see what the rest of the world has to show me. This song embodies that concept for some reason. Listening to this, I feel like I’ve gone beyond everything I knew. Like I can see my future and what it’s capable of, while also acknowledging my past and seeing it too in a new perspective. I feel so happy to have realized this feeling at such a young age. I feel blessed, knowing that I’ve realized that games make me happy. I’m only 17 years old. I feel so blessed. 😭

[@srbrant5391]

One of the most beautiful songs I have ever known in my entire life. It speaks to me not only of what the Star Fox franchise represents, but of the wild black yonder and the promises held by far off stars. Of my past and my future. Of the last moments of my life where I will look back on every great achievement of my life…until it’s time for Inari’s children to carry me into the bliss of eternity.

[@StormZephyr]

Star Fox 64 was a masterpiece. The characters, pacing, general aesthetic, music, and even voice acting came together in a way no game in the franchise has since. The only thing this game was missing was multiplayer co-op. Why the emphasis on a team if you can't play together as one? Maybe one day Nintendo will revisit the 64 story like this... Or it'll just keep doing 3d remakes of other old games.

[@Venom1933]

I absolutely love reading these comments. Every single story contains a depressing yet happy nostalgic slot of memories that everyone born in the 90's can relate to. They all differ, but they all entice the same feeling in your heart when remembering those "good ole days." This truly makes me feel like I'm not alone when I very seldom have the opportunity to sit back and listen to this, flashing back to better times when life was just, simple and great.

For tomorrow is another day, putting us even further from these yesterdays.

[@BoydTheMilkmanX]

Listening to this just reminds me of how old I'm getting, and how sad I am that even though I still own all these games, that I can never truly relive the magic of having played them for the first time, with an untainted view of the world. It makes me think of what will happen with Shigeru Miyamoto dies. Sure, I don't follow a lot of his recent work and some of his business ethics leave much to be desired, but that mans work between 91-2002 just had such an enormous impact on me as a child. I don't 'cry' or aare when Celebs die, usually, but I dread the thought: maybe because it makes me face my own mortality, and maybe because it's another reminder that those days are gone and will never come again. Millions of people will be crushed when Miyamoto dies. Even if gamers don't follow his work today (I don't, really) the influence he has had on the medium is so enormous that it will be devastating for anyone who grew up with his work. I mean, really. What will the world say when the man who created Mario, Starfox, Zelda, Donkey Kong, and many others - dies?

[@twist9830]

there have been enough star fox games in terms of numbers the travesty is that not a single one has been good except 64 and KIND OF the original on SNES.

[@321cheeseman]

Kairu Hakubi There's only been 7 games, and 3 of those 7 are an unreleased sequel, a Zelda clone with a Star Fox reskin, and a remake with no worthwhile new content. The series has remarkably few games taking that into account, plus the fact that Star Fox and Star Fox 64 were some of the best selling games for their respective systems. On top of that, Adventures, Assault, and Command weren't even made by Nintendo. The series needs a new game. It's been 17 years since the last proper entry.

[@KairuHakubi]

Cheeseman Exactly. It's not that hard to just make a normal star fox game.. there was one that KIND OF seemed like it was trying to be one, but i heard it wasn't very good.. and then there was a strategy game? i mean why would you even

[@zealotking3939]

Cheeseman Assault was better than StarFox 64, and StarFox SNES2 was better than any of them, take that into consideration. Assault was an excellent EXCELLENT game and deserves A LOT more love than its gotten

I remember old childhood friends I havent seen in years, old pets that were still alive, great toys and video games that I had, the days when I still lived with my family before I moved out, the innocnece of childhood, the feeling that adulthood seemed so far away and would never come.

Starfox is my favorite Nintendo franchise... I remember the game when i had the Nintendo 64 when i was a kid The game did have a other title called: Lylat Wars I LOVE STARFOX SO MUCH!!! 

[@raynekraven]

such a soothing music to such an action packed game

[@redstonecommander5190]

Just ring it out just ring it out for not just the entire earth but god and genus and all of the angels……should be heard by all.

[@Zadamanim]

Team Star Fox has come a long way through the lylat system. Only one planet remains. The pilots take one last look at each other aboard the Great Fox. This is their final mission, one way or another. They nod to each other in silent understanding as they climb into their arwings and enter Venom airspace.

[@OldSchoolShnobbs]

This song is good to listen to while doing your homework late at night. 😊

[@sweetoil2952]

Literally what I'm doing right now

[@terriqdrayton1402]

​@@sweetoil2952it's truly apart with us forever, a nostalgia game through our the ages!

[@brettbarnard4501]

I first started playing this game back in 1999 when I was 4 years old. My brother was in high school and every single high score said "JBG." Now, all but one of them says "BGB" instead. The first was the day I graduated high school. Talk about a bittersweet victory.

First time i played this game was on Sylvester, around 9 Years ago. We were on a party of friends of my parents and there were also a few kids - the youngest one being around 14 at the time and the oldest one 17? (I was 6 or 7?) They played through the entire game on that night, game overing multiple times before finally defeating the fake andross. I still remember so many things about this Party. I remember when the game ended and Andross laug came, a guy stood up, pointed at the screen and shouted "He isnt dead yet! I knew it!". When Myamotos name came up in the credits, two of the people stood up and bowed for him - which now turned into my ritual whenever i see his name in a game lol. Now, 9 years later, i am sitting here, playing Starfox 64 on my N64, the room only being lit by the projector lights with this song filling the dimly lit room while i am on my phone, scrolling through reddit. This song is amazing, and it couldnt fit better for any other game and any other scenario.

[@skye_sora7]

Yes I love this . Takes me back

[@norwegiantechnolover]

Wow, what a somber yet comforting melody...

[@mariozuniga9049]

Escucha y dale un abrazo fraternal a tu niñez. Sí, eso es lo que te hace llorar, el que esos momentos dónde todo era fácil ya no son más. La niñez es el tesoro más bonito que tenemos y sólo te das cuenta de lo que era... hasta que eres adulto. Sólo queda recordar.

[@Cozy90X]

Reminds me of a time 13 years ago. I knew a friend who lived around the corner from me. I met him in softball and then grew to be good friends. We played this game and LOVED it. One day though i went to his house and another family had moved in. Apparently he moved away and forgot to tell me. To this day i never forgot those awesome times we had. Amazing how something like this holds such weight to us all.

[@zeldededeab9966]

So soothing and serene. The beautiful desolation of space. I'm remind of Vigil, the opening theme of Mass Effect.

[@jht3fougifh393]

"...desolation of space..." My thoughts exactly. I wouldn't be into space if not for this game. It's extraordinarily beautiful.

[@Edgarallen666]

Wow! The comments here are actually not hating and they are all good comments about our childhood! This video deserves an award because all of us are uniting from our childhood

[@samconduct1356]

Like Mario 64 and Ocarina of Time, Nintendo got everything absolutely bang on first time with Starfox 64.

[@Finey02]

I hear childhood echoes and my parents yelling gracefully. Good times.

[@darkchild666100]

This brings back so much memories :(

[@dominicpolselli5310]

I was born in 91 and this game was one of my favorites. I lived a pretty rough and lonely life as an only child of a single mother with drug issues that extends deep into the family. Games were my escape. Games gave me the chance to have some control and be the hero. To make accomplishments in the game and get recognition and love I couldn't get in the real world from the ones I needed it most from. I loved this game for so many reasons beyond even it's fun gameplay. I connected with fox. My father had moved away off the whim when I was 5 years old to Florida and I live in Massachusetts. I would try my hardest and beat the game multiple times just to get to the ending where I reunited with my dad... Because it was the closest thing I could get to the real thing. I remember the night this song made the biggest impact for me was when my grandma passed and I was around 5 years old. The night I found out i was sad and went to play this game. It was night time and when this song came on.i suddenly stopped and went to my window to stare up at the stars picturing her face and facing my first realization of death. The tears ran down my face but at the same time this song playing connected with me and uplifted me. I remember I wiped my tears and said "I will see you again one day". 26 years later this song resonates deep in my soul. Thank you for providing an escape. Thank you for touching my soul with your music and story. Thank you for this master piece 🙏

[@popspop5887]

Starfox N64 is perfect!

[@zachmaine6427]

Try using this for meditation. It's calming and nostalgic at the same time. It actually feels great! =)

[@ShakinJamacian]

There's just some beauty to this that's not seen in many games anymore. It's that "magic", that harmony that Nintendo consistently delivers on that games aren't just a product for a calander year for a company, but titles that stand the test of time. People will be talking about this in 2017 with more humbling praise than nearly all of the Call of Duty games from now till then.

[@FuzeFlareGaming]

I was crying once I heard this after completing the game on Hard Mode for the first time. And that was in 2007...

[@ZANCTION]

Shout out to my dad, he's the reason I even game and know about the great awesome classics of the past that were before my time (Born in 2000).

[@ProjectArin]

It was all so... So long ago..

[@officialDJNSBch]

i wasted my child hood on this game and it was awesome. THANKS FOX! :D

[@superbushero]

It wasn't wasted at all

[@officialDJNSBch]

superbushero oh know i just didnt do this :O 64 Fox By DJ NSB 2013 DUB STEP (2013)

[@xTamaxDarkrikux]

Being an adult sucks :'( why cant it all go back to before when i was playing this beauty back then

[@Sen-115DK]

I also have that feeling man... I wish we all could go and play the old games and consoles..

[@mysterypotatocat]

This game truly made the early 2000s special for me and my brothers

[@Jingleboy14]

I love this song, it's so harmonic, yet sad. If you've just game-over'd, it feels appropriate.

[@Mithrillion]

Never forget the good times, it's what mattered in our early days as young kids.

[@faceurhell]

I remember being amazed by the 3D. I would just watch the game. I would often die in the game just watching the graphics. It was hilarious, but funny. This game.. is just amazing. If only new Star Fox games could reach this quality again...

[@towelmanfilms]

This game is still my life, never mind childhood never mind! Even still Have the same cart since the 90s happened, yall are missin out!

[@AdamTopCommenter]

While most can interpret it this as just "sad" it's not. There's multiple layers to peel back. It flows with slow and spacious ambiance that invites calm reflection. Yes, memories are both sad and happy but the song doesn't particularly commit to just one feeling, it oscillates between them. It puts the listener into an almost meditative state not good, not bad, just calm and present. I also interpret a feeling of hope throughout it.

[@rodracer4567]

Every time I hear "Star Fox", I'm reminded of all the times I visit my cousin when on vacation to the Dominican Republic when I was around 4 or 5 years old. We would play this for hours on end on his N64 and always died laughing every time we defeated the first boss when he screams "MY EMPEROR, I'VE FAILED YOUUUUUU!!!!". I remember we would shout that line to annoy everybody. I doubt he remembers that anymore since he's gone on to do other things and is now a father, but I haven't forgotten. Perhaps the next time I visit him I'll jog his memory by bringing my N64 and a copy of this game. Sure it would be easier to emulate it, but doing it properly on the actual console just feels right.

[@dogscratch]

My first Star Fox experiences also came from my cousin, haha! Although we were using his Wii's virtual console, as he did not have an N64 (and I didn't know what one was at the time, I was very young), it was still a marvelous time. I still quote the game sometimes to this day, XD

[@GhostLoco89]

I want to thank you for making this 15 mins long. This is awesome, i still have the game and its sitting right in front of me. Now i can listen to this when im not playing it.

[@sandmaneyes]

I always used to wonder why the music sounded so sad as a kid. Now it just makes sense.

[@zacotb]

This theme is like the anthem of my childhood.

[@Balance2097]

What you said struck me, such a beautiful piece of music. They can't take that away from you, ever.

[@hot_dogg]

play this at my funeral please

[@srbrant5391]

_Same._
