*claps*Guess I'll join in on the trend, too.
Honestly my memory is kinda hazey on the subject of my first encounter with Star Fox, but what I'm about to admit to is probably a crime considered to many; I've actually NEVER played Star Fox 64. I know, terrible, huh? My first taste of classic Star Fox is the 3DS version I bought about 2 years ago. I certainly enjoyed it, but it did feel like a different experience. Not just gameplay but just the overall atmosphere, I guess with the more cheesy dialogue and lighter hearted nature of it.
Anyways, moving on, from what I can remember, I first experienced Star Fox in 2005 with both Adventures AND Assault. It was around the time I got my first computer and my mom ordered me Adventures from Ebay. It was a pretty meaningful time, because me and my dad used to play it together so it was also a good way for us to bond. I remember Krystal being probably one of my first video game crushes, aha as well as looking up to Fox as this totally awesome super hero, so they both instantly became my favourite characters.
Around the same time as this, my friend had just bought Assault, as it just came out at this point and we used to waste hours away playing multiplayer. He used to make fun of me because I always played as Krystal, aha. Strangely enough, I didn't actually get around to buying Assault for myself until 2007, so it wasn't until then I got to experience the single player mode. When I did, however, it made me fall in love with the series even more. It allowed me to get to know the characters outside of just Krysatl and Fox as well as go deeper into all of their characters. On top of the awesome gameplay and creative story, I knew this would quickly become one of my favourite games and to this very day it's easily in my top 10 along with Adventures. I'm confident that I'm going to enjoy Zero for what it is, I'm just grateful that Star Fox is back, but I still have my hopes that in a few years down the line, I'll get to experience that same nostalgia in a bigger and better game than Assault and of course get to finally see Krystal in dem beautiful HD graphics.though fingers crossed the latter might actually happen in the form of Smash
Aaaand fin~
My first experience was Star Fox numba ONE! I was invited to a friend's house where many of my other friends were gathered. He dramatically unveiled what it is we were called there for and went on about how this was the greatest game ever made. Like, you need to understand that this game was a marvel for its time. Well, after we got the rundown, he popped in the cartridge and the rest was history. 3D graphics on an SNES! It was unreal. The stunts Fox pulled in that game equally unreal. Flying full speed through an asteroid belt while fighting a swath of enemy pilots to confront a rather imposing boss, who, by the way, seemed invincible to us then because "my bullets are bouncing off!" It was the bravest and stupidest act I had ever seen. I guess you could say I liked Fox immediately. At the end of every dangerous mission, he was smiling like it was another day at the office. There was no urgency whatsoever in his comm feeds. He was a cool and collected mercenary who had taken countless lives. In short, he made an already amazing game that much more amazing.
As you can see, SF 1 was MY 64. I still play it to this day. How does this link to Krystal? It doesn't.
