Star Fox Japanese Store Promo Video

[@BoshMind]

Love how sometimes the youtube translation is spot on and other times it is garble.

[@OlgaG18]

Omg it’s bosh

[@VeggeMight]

How are these puppets better than the ones for the Jim Henson ad.

[@samuelmbila5583]

Mire surreal and realistic.

[@itskevinjustkevin]

No clue

[@Ireland.sflover]

Because the puppeteer's hand looks actually comfortable in them and there more cuter and fluffier.

[@KitFireburn]

I want to play this video on an old CRT TV in my room 24/7, holy shit, this is amazing.

[@David315842]

Moving fox scenes at 02:09, 04:07, 09:10 and 10:27.

[@trubb225]

The 9:10 one is actually good since it shows off the other puppets, too.

[@David315842]

@@trubb225 True, though it starts with Fox like the other scenes, that's why I listed it as such, since he's also in it.

[@trubb225]

Slippy's Japanese voice is very good!!

[@SonicTheJackrabbit]

Wow, they actually managed to make the SNES puppets look scarier than they initially were.

[@Pikachu4352]

Patch93 I'm glad they went with a more Muppet esque concept for the Nintendo E3 Digital event

[@jonnygulmatico9472]

Well, the other type puppet is called a Muppet. Compared to the E3 2015 puppets, the puppets shown on this video are more realistic.

[@keybyss98]

The old VHS filter and lack of English context (unless you know Japanese) doesn’t help.

[@james68908]

Apparently Nintendo were inspired by the supermarionation shows of the 1960s and they did hope that Gerry Anderson and ITV would talk with Nintendo on making it as a puppet series. I would love to see it done like nebula-75, with string puppets.

[@damin9913]

They was not scary they are the real team

[@sakipooh]

I've got an idea, let's show off the entire game in the store and some of the ending. That'll sell it.

[@keybyss98]

sakipooh Perhaps that's what Japanese marketing was like at the time... I think.

[@ChristopherSobieniak]

Trailers for movies over there do the exact same thing.

[@joshgellis3292]

When it's a video game and NOT a movie where YOU, the player HAS to perform to the same level as the footage?! Nah... the spoiler effect is much less! :.D

[@zimtak6418]

I know you're being sarcastic, but that would totally sell it for me! Just like KZbin in modern times, if I watch a good portion of a game, such as Mass Effect, and I don't want to play it because I've already seen enough and it doesn't look that great to play, I won't buy it, and that's the developers fault. But if it looks like there's more than just long cutscenes and good graphics and it genuinely looks *fun* to play and I can't stop watching other people play, such as Red Dead Redemption or Zelda, I'll buy it. Back in the 90's I remember watching my friends play all the way through StarFox and Sonic 2 *multiple* times and it just made me want to play the game all the more!

Known as Star Wing in the Europe

[@zimtak6418]

It's funny, they keep changing up the character designs of every StarFox character *besides* Slippy since StarFox 64, yet he's the only one I want to see get a redesign, namely back to his original look. He actually looked pretty cool in his original design, for a frog anyway.

[@Vicefromkof]

He got a redesign in 64 actually he originally had a purple collar before getting replaced to a red scarf.

[@sotnosen95]

I think this is the first game (or promo for a game, in this case) I've seen that's felt the need to explain how a boss health meter works.

[@sumirechp]

Fox kinda sounded a bit too old for a 25-year-old man (I heard that Fox in this timeline was 25 years old)

Fox is really cute.

i know right?

[@Ireland.sflover]

@@kawanxros yesss, also Slippy looks a lot a like Mr Toad (from the 1980s stop motion version of wind and the willows lol)

@@Ireland.sflover yes they are quite similiar

I can definitely see Usagi from Sailor Moon playing Star Fox.

SNES star fox will always top any star fox game

[@poweroffriendship2.0]

It still does.

Star Fox but real

[@michaelflores9220]

Check out the Las Vegas convention video about htis game! You can even hear the Starfox theme music form Starfox 64 there, a full four years before Starfox 64 came out!!!!

[@coreyander286]

I checked out the video uploaded by a user named Grooveraider 14 years ago, but I couldn't make out the 64 theme in it, the audio quality was tricky.

[@TheAxeGrinder]

9:10 Did Fox just say "Fuck it"?

[@kawanxros]

it sounds more like "Sate" to me because he speaks japanese so...

[@Ireland.sflover]

Omg it did sound like he said that, Fox just needs a break man, he's been through too much in his life.

[@kawanxros]

@@Ireland.sflover or maybe because fox accidentaly said "fuck it" instead of "sate" because this promo probably takes place before the first mission in corneria and he wanted to start already

[@Ireland.sflover]

@@kawanxros Yea lol

If you're here for all 4 of the puppets, 1:52 and 9:10 are your timestamps that you're after!

[@tiglionabbit]

Wow. They sped up the game footage so it wouldn't be obvious how bad the frame rate really is :P
