Star Fox 2 - The Whole Story

Post by **badinsults** » Thu Mar 25, 2010 5:10 am

My latest article is on the unreleased game, Star Fox 2. I spent nearly two months working on this article, and I think I found a ton ton of interesting things about the game. The game is hella fun!

Another nice article, as always.

And this is a very nice game. Played it when the translation was first out. Good stuff.

Good article. I like reading things about beta / unreleased games.

Great article. I found two errors in the article, mainly using the same word twice consecutively. One is the paragraph after the Dylan Cuthbert reply (an extra "of") and another is the paragraph after the article you wrote in 2002 (extra "was").

Shows how good my proofreading is, and that others who were proofreading it for me missed things as well.

Glad everyone liked it!

It certainly would've been interesting if it were released...

I'm just glad it actually got finished.

How many really awesome-looking games got canned before they were ever to a playable state?

Fun read. That's a lot of info you collected, great to have it all in one place.

True but, I actually find it far less frustrating to hear about an interesting game that never got fully developed, than to know about one that got practically finished but will never have a chance to see the light of day, and instead is rotting in an archive somewhere. See Resident Evil 1.5, for example.

See, my logic is... we don't know they were actually finished unless they get leaked.
And there's always a chance they'll get leaked.

Great article! I have to say though, on Star Fox 2, it's just not as fun as the original, which I adore. I remember I was fervently searching everywhere to download Star Fox 2 when I first caught the rumours of the betas or whatever they were. Overall I've played it only a few times. The original Star Fox is just better. I think it's the aesthetics that are more appealing, the music, clean uncluttered gameplay, etc. And the Arwing walker mode is silly.

Nice. Well written and informative. You can tell a lot of work was put into it.
