Difference between revisions of "Star Fox 64"

'''''Star Fox 64''''', known in PAL regions as '''''Lylat Wars''''' due to trademark issues, is the second instalment in the main ''[[Star Fox (series)|Star Fox]]'' series, which was released for the [[Nintendo 64]] in 1997. The game is often considered a reboot of ''[[Star Fox (game)|Star Fox]]'', which originally launched on the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]] in 1993, as they both feature a very similar plot. ''Star Fox 64'' was made available for download on the [[Wii]]'s Virtual Console in April 2007, at a price of 1,000 Nintendo Points, and on the Wii U's Virtual Console in 2016. As of October 26, 2021, the game is available to [[Nintendo Switch|Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack]] subscribers.

 

''Star Fox 64'' is notable for being the first game to utilize the Rumble Pak on the Nintendo 64. It is among the first Nintendo 64 games with in-game voice acting, which replaced the chattering sound effects from the first ''Star Fox''. ''[[Star Fox 2]]'' was originally planned to be the second ''Star Fox'' title, but was canceled at the time due to the upcoming release of the Nintendo 64, but some of its features were reused in ''Star Fox 64'', such as [[All-Range Mode]]. In PAL releases (''Lylat Wars''), the player can re-enable the original chatter by selecting Lylat from the language option menu.
