Difference between revisions of "Star Fox: Farewell, Beloved Falco"

'''''Star Fox: Farewell, Beloved Falco''''' is a manga created by [[Nintendo]], and part of the ''[[Star Fox series|Star Fox]]'' series. The manga chronicles the events between ''[[Star Fox 64]]'' and ''[[Star Fox Adventures]]''. The manga was only released in Japan, and came with the Japanese version of ''Adventures''. It gives the back story as to why [[Falco Lombardi|Falco]] left the Star Fox team. It also introduces a new antagonist, [[Captain Shears]]. Captain Shears runs a base on the sand-dune planet [[Titania]], but unbeknownst to Star Fox, Shears is actually taking part in an experiment to resurrect [[Andross]]. In the beginning, [[Katt Monroe]] is introduced along with a rag-tag team of roughnecks with apparently an inside lead on the fact that Shears is evil. [[Fox McCloud|Fox]] doesn't believe them, which ends up in a sparring match between him and Falco, thus adding more emphasis into Falco's intentions of leaving Star Fox. Eventually, it is revealed to Star Fox that Shears is indeed evil, and Fox storms in to stop the resurrection plan once and for all.

Interestingly, the manga ends with the Star Fox team seeing [[Sauria|Dinosaur Planet]] breaking apart and deciding to save it on their own accord, whereas ''Star Fox Adventures'' opens with [[General Pepper]] ordering them to go there and save it, promising to pay them if they succeed (However, it could be equally suggested that they could have filed in a request to General Pepper to try and save the planet, due to the General mentioning that their "Fee had been approved".)Why this change was made is understandable: since the manga was only released in Japan, there wasn't quite enough publicity to it to work it into the game, or perhaps it was chosen to be different.
