The original game was a technical triumph on the 16-bit Super NES, of course, but the power of the Nintendo 64 enabled the developers to amp up the cinematic references and really immerse you in the Lylat system and the cockpit of Fox McCloud&#8217;s Arwing \u2014 with the Rumble Pak providing added immersion with some chunky force feedback. To this day, it&#8217;s a truly <em>stellar<\/em> game.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"picture embed right img-\">\n<div class=\"img\"><a title=\"Lylat Wars\" href=\"https:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/96a09c0d65a59\/lylat-wars.large.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/96a09c0d65a59\/lylat-wars.900x.jpg\" alt=\"Lylat Wars\"><\/a><span class=\"image-credit\" title=\"Image Credit\">Nintendo Life<\/span><\/div>\n<p>Ah, we miss this big box<\/p>\n<\/aside>\n<p>That&#8217;s not to say all subsequent Star Fox games have been disappointments \u2014 far from it! From the tactical nuance of Q-Games&#8217; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/ds\/star_fox_command\">Star Fox Command<\/a>, to Rare and Namco&#8217;s dalliances with the series with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/gamecube\/star_fox_adventures\">Star Fox Adventures<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/gamecube\/star_fox_assault\">Star Fox: Assault<\/a> respectively, the series has been a test bed for interesting game design ideas and has produced some fascinating, experimental games, right up to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/wiiu\/star_fox_zero\">Star Fox Zero<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/wiiu\/star_fox_guard\">Star Fox Guard<\/a> on Wii U. They may not be all-round, cohesive <em>classics<\/em> like Star Fox 64, but each of them offers something intriguing \u2014 there&#8217;s a reason the fandom flame still burns bright for this foxy franchise.<\/p>\n<p>So, while we think the winner is a foregone conclusion here (<em>hey \u2014 we could be wrong!<\/em>), today we&#8217;re asking you which Star Fox game is the absolute best. Similar to our other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/news\/2020\/08\/feature_the_best_final_fantasy_games_of_all_time\">reader-ranked polls<\/a>, you can rate every game you&#8217;ve played in the list below \u2014 which includes <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nintendo-switch\/starlink_battle_for_atlas\">Starlink: Battle for Atlas<\/a> thanks to its copious amount of hot &#8216;Fox content (if you don&#8217;t agreewith its inclusion, simply pretend it isn&#8217;t there and the order of the games around it still stands). The resulting ranked list of worst to best Star Fox games will go live tomorrow, on the 25th anniversary of Lylat Wars&#8217; release. Yes, we&#8217;re going to keep saying &#8216;Lylat Wars&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>Registered Nintendo Life users can click on the stars below and rate the games out of 10. Much like our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/tags\/top-50\">Top 50 platform polls<\/a>, the resulting ranking is created from those fluid NL User Ratings and is therefore subject to change. If you&#8217;ve previously rated these games in our database, thank you!
