Talk:Star Fox (1993 video game)

message: In Super Play #04 February 1993 (British gaming magazine), there is this short article:
Stop Press! Star Force - The first super FX game?
Anybody wants to lay bets that this is the first cartridge chip to incorporate the new Super FX chip? (See pages 48-51). Set for release at the end of January in Japan and to be unveiled three weeks earlier at the Winter CES in Las Vegas, Star Force is a hi-tech 3D polygon shoot-'em-up where the player is in a team of four fighter planes attempting to overthrow the Andorf empire. It certainly sounds like the king of thing Argonaut (developers of the chip) specialise in. It seems the new chip has boosted the cart price to 9,800 Yen (approx £40). Expect it to cost a lot more on import from February though. More next month.

message: As far as i know, the first 3D game by Nintendo was X for the Gameboy in 1992, made by Nintendo and Argonaut (the same duo of Star Fox) so... maybe this is wrong? --Hayama Akito (talk) 00:53, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

message: I'm tempted to remove the "Hidden message" section that was just added, because it seems very POV. Does anyone else think so? Thunderbrand 14:25, August 13, 2005 (UTC)
:Well, his statement about "andros" being Greek for "man" checks out, but I think this theory might be a stretch. Unless some other source has it, I'd say delete it. Also, "Andross" being someone's name is not unique; real people have been (and probably currently are) named "Andros". Jaxl | talk 15:10, 13 August 2005 (UTC)

message: A long long time ago I read in a magazine about a StarFox for Gameboy, never heard anything of it again, it never got released. Does anybody have details about what happened with tha Gameboy version of StarFox and why it was canceled? -- Grumbel 18:48, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: Me neither. What magazine was this? Robert 00:46, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I personally doubt there were plans for a GBA version, due to the system limitations; now if you told me there was a rumoured DS version, I'd believe that. -- VederJuda 00:48, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  I'm pretty sure that a "Starfox-like" game was produced as a technicial demo for the game boy advance to prove the claim it had the equilivent power to two SuperFX 2 Chips. I'll see if I can dig out a magazine from the time. (Possibly UK's N64 mag...)--81.106.203.120 04:43, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

text: Its was the german magazine titled "Video Games" if I remember correctly and it wasn't the GBA, but the original Gameboy. -- Grumbel 03:07, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

text: Ok, this one took me a while to figure out, but I think I finally got it. Video Games 7/95, page 33, reports on E3 and the VirtualBoy. A screenshot of Red Alarm is present and labeled with "Red Alarm orientiert sich an Starfox", the article itself also talks about it being similar to Starfox. The article further makes a reference to VirtualBoy modules being larger than GameBoy modules, something I explicitly remember. So looks like I got a whole lot of details completely mixed up, the game existed, but was Red Alarm for the Virtualboy, so neither a Starfox game nor for the GameBoy. The existence of X (1992_video_game) made it seem really plausible for it to be a GameBoy game, but that turned out wrong. The same magazine also reported a few month earlier on the Super FX 2 and the canceled Starfox2, some of that information probably bleed into my memory of the imaginary Starfox for Gameboy as well. -- Grumbel45 (talk) 14:14, 21 September 2017 (UTC)

message: I was under the impression that Star Fox has no rating, as it came out before the ESRB was established. Or has it been re-rated? Thunderbrand 16:30, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  ESRB rating 

message: I see on IGN and Gamestats that the North American release date for Star Fox is listed as March 1, 1993.  Two things need to be emphasized here: First, IGN and Gamestats use the same dataset for their game release dates, so the two of them constitute only a single data source; and second, this data source is HORRIFICALLY inaccurate for older games (it's noticeably better from the late 90s on, but there are still extensive errors).  The date of March 1 for Star Fox is particularly untrustworthy since a large majority of early 1990s game release dates in IGN/Gamestats have "01" for day, and in many, many cases month as well.  This is a clear indication that an "01" in their dataset is a placeholder for unknown data.  The date of March 1, 1993 cannot possibly be relied upon unless another (*different*) source is obtained.
My estimation of March 29, which I believe to be accurate within +/- 1 day, unfortunately comes totally from my own personal memory of lining up for the game on release day.  It's a reliable, clear memory, and I never forget a date, but it violates WP:NOR, so I'm not sure whether it'd be best to include my figure of March 29, or simply omit the release day and give the date as March, 1993.  But the date of March 1 has to go!  Suggestions? --Ecksemmess 23:02, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Alright then, I think it's best if we keep the exact day off the article altogether. And yes, listing the release date solely from memory is unfortunately violating WP:NOR, so there's nothing we can really do about that. I'll try to find a release date from somewhere that doesn't use the same dataset. Robert 23:13, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Sounds good.  I'll look too. --Ecksemmess 23:19, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I've noticed that too. That is the thing with older games, though. Thunderbrand 01:30, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, release dates for older games can be fairly prone to error.  There are, however, reliable sources.  GameFAQs is largely accurate, and when their dates are off it's rarely by much.  There's very little "01 filler" there.  There are other good sources as well. --Ecksemmess 05:47, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  NA release date 

message: >It was the first three-dimensional Nintendo game
That's quite a vague statement.  Faceball 2000, which is arguably 3D, predated StarFox.  Was Starfox the first to use polygons, or what exactly was meant by the statement? 204.108.8.5 (talk) 20:11, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Image copyright problem with Image:SNES Star Fox.png

message: I think this article should be renamed from "Star Fox (SNES)" to "Star Fox", as per the accepted naming convention. Examples of said convention include:
* The first game in the Zelda series' page is called The Legend of Zelda, not "The Legend of Zelda (NES)", even though a The Legend of Zelda (series) page also exists.
* Same deal with Metroid; the first game in that series' page is called Metroid, not "Metroid (NES)", even though a Metroid (series) page also exists.
The only thing that makes the Star Fox situation different from these examples is the fact that another game simply entitled "Star Fox" exists. However, that other Star Fox game for the Atari 2600 is nowhere near as noteworthy as the SNES game, and, thus, this page's name shouldn't have to conform to account for the 2600 Star Fox. -Sesu Prime (talk) 01:22, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

message: I've checked various websites and search engines, such as Google, Yahoo!, Destructoid and Kotaku, but I've found nothing on StarWing. Is there any proof that it's been confirmed for Japan? Otherwise it needs to be removed for advertising false information.

message: Hello, i am not really sure but i think the other Melody in the Slot Machine Level comes from the german Folk Song "Hänschen Klein". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H%C3%A4nschen_klein
The melody in this Song comes from a even older German Folk Song who is not so famous.
Listen from 0:42 to 0:54 ...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zo--WWUjbtU.
