(played on normal as falco & fay)
The big thing everyone knows about this one is that it was initially unreleased. Says it was finished in 1995-1996 or so, then shelved, then dumped online, then released officially like two decades later. By now it's not great really, but in the context of the SNES library it's a pretty good one.
...just, a way too short one as well. Like 30 minutes even with no skill. The structure is a bit odd as well, I definitely prefer the linear approach of the original and 64. That aside, generally improvements are made over the original. It runs a lot smoother and there's a bit more variety, and I like the new ship models and characters. One thing of note is it doesn't have that same feel of like innovation and wonder as the original did, how crazy it was for its time, etc., it kind of really is just, Star Fox Two:tm:. More of the same with improvements. I think this is the better game, but 1 has more charm to it and generally a more interesting aura. Whatever the case, they make a hell of an odd duology in the 16-bit era, and I find them both to be somewhat underappreciated.
