The Star Fox team triumphantly returns to one of its greatest missions with this remake of Star Fox 64 in full 3D, featuring a complete graphical update.
The entire Star Fox universe spreads out realistically into the depths of the Nintendo 3DS screen while the 3D visuals give the player a clearer grasp of distance and position. This makes the game more approachable and intuitive, thereby allowing players to focus on the action.
Corneria, forth planet from the Lylat system. The evil Andross turned this once-thriving system into a wasteland of near extinction. General Pepper of the Cornerian army was successful in exiling this maniacal scientist to the barren, deserted planet Venom. Five years later, General Pepper noticed strange activity coming from Venom. James McCloud, Pigma Dengar, and Peppy Hare of the Star Fox team were sent to investigate. Upon their arrival, Pigma betrayed the team, and James and Peppy were captured by Andross. Peppy barely escaped Venom and returned home to tell James's son Fox about his father's fate. A few years have passed. Andross again has invaded the Lylat system. General Pepper has turned to a new Star Fox team headed by Fox McCloud to save Corneria and free the Lylat system once again.

Star Fox 64 3D is great. I’ve never played the original. So when I played this 3DS version I was shocked on how short the story was. Like wow. Really. That was it. I was planning on bingeing all day on this. But I beat it in an hour or so. It was indeed a good story. Don’t get me wrong. The story was great. It was just shockingly short.
There were other modes. You can play as the new 3D graphics story. Or play with the original 64 look. Which is nice. There is also the multiplayer which is neat. And score attack.
The graphics were great. They kept it looking original but with a higher quality. More visually stunning. The 3D looked good. It certainly makes the game more difficult. Depth perception. I turned 3D off during the gameplay for most all of the game. But the cut scenes I kept it on.
Sound was good. Nice to hear the Star Fox theme. The character voices were nice and clear. I can clearly hear Falco being a jerk, Slippy yelling for help, every five seconds, and Peppy telling me the controls the other five seconds. The characters are as true as the internet joked around they were.
Conclusion: Star Fox 64 3D was great. Story was really short but you can play it over and over and not get tired. Certainly a good game to bring back an old friend.
