Play Star Fox Assault Early!
Quote:
January 27, 2005 - In a recently published Nintendo newsletter, the company announced that gamers can play the upcoming GameCube shooter Star Fox Assault early if they don't mind renting it. Evidently both Blockbuster and Hollywood Video will be getting playable versions of the game for rental purposes some two weeks before it actually ships to retailers.
Blockbuster and Hollywood Video will carry Star Fox Assault for rental beginning February 1, or in just a few short days. The title does not actually release in the US until February 15.
Star Fox Assault, developed by Namco, stars hero Fox McCloud and gang on an all-new mission that takes them into space, over the skies and even on land while doing battle with hordes of futuristic enemies. The title goes back to the roots of the series, serving up traditional scrolling shooter levels, but it also features a variety of ground-based missions where Fox can arm himself with weapons and control vehicles such as tanks. Assault boasts crisp, clean graphics and a four-player competitive mode.

Only a small stipulation but it'll be nice to see how well the game turns out since its going back to the roots of the series.

Re: Play Star Fox Assault Early!
Starfox 64 was awesome. I loved it...I remember I would go to Blockbuster sometimes and just play it there.
Those were good days.
I would be willing to try this game out....if Only I had a cube.

Re: Play Star Fox Assault Early!
I just hooked my N64 up a couple days ago and have been playing StarFox 64, how fitting? I hope we get to find out what happened to Fox's father after Fox defeats the real Andross from SF64.

"nothing, nothings wrong"
Star fox 64 was fun, but it was a big dissappointment for me....(even though I played it all day every day)
it just was too short....I hope this one takes more than 30 minutes to beat

Fox's father IS Andross.
Calling it before it happens.

Re: Play Star Fox Assault Early!
Besides the fact that we actually see James and Andross in the same place (which is all the evidence against you need right there), I don't think Andross has any of the...eh...necessary organs.

Then buy a cube you bastard!
This game is looking pretty good, though. I remember back in the day when I used to rent SF64 and beat it the same night (the game was pretty easy, but there were many paths to take throughout the levels, I enjoyed that though).
I will definitely be renting this when it's out.

Re: Play Star Fox Assault Early!
The N64 version was one of my favorite games for the N46. I played it almost constantly for days at a time, even after I beat it. I enjoyed just trying to see different cut scenes and earning new badges.
The game was short, but not too easy. If you wanted to get the highest level badge at ever world, you had to do some awesome stuff. And don't say "the game is too easy" until you've gotten all those medals.

Re: Play Star Fox Assault Early!
So, has anyone gone to see if their local Blockbuster or Hollywood Video has SF Assault available?
