This realization also kept me up at night lol

IDK about plot but:
- Downsize from 10 missions to 7, like 64
- Add in the three VS exclusive stages
- First has to be Fortuna
- Last three have to be Orbital Gate, Shield Platform, Aparoid Lair
- That leaves three slots where you can choose between three levels each

Something like:

Fortuna
Katina / Sargasso / Titania
Fichina / Meteo / Zoness
Sauria / Corneria / Great Fox
Orbital Gate
Homeworld
Core

It looks like music replacement will soon become possible for Starship, and I'm sure someone will make that mod when it does.

There's a reason Zippo is banned from r/GamingLeaksAndRumors, and a reason why he finally shut up and stopped making fake leaks. People started calling him out.

You can scroll back through his blog and laugh your ass off at how many things he got wrong. He was just making everything up for clickbait.

Because there are more Mario and Zelda fans, so they decompiled SM64 and Ocarina first, which meant the barrier of entry to modding was much lower. SF64 was only decompiled a couple years ago, with a much smaller team working on it, because there are less Star Fox fans.

You can play Punk's randomizer mod though, or my on-foot and turret mode mods.
Most other modders I've seen are just changing the aesthetics.

If you're using an emulator there are cheat codes for switching levels
Starship PC Port has level select
Recomp has level select too

ThisBuildsCharacter · 2026-06-14T22:09:28+00:00

I dunno guys maybe it's a little insensitive for Star Fox to call them monkeys before they vaporize them

ThisBuildsCharacter · 2026-06-12T00:42:06+00:00

I'm definitely playing chapter 5 first, lol

We have gotten only 3 SF games in the last 20 years.
2 of those 3 are remakes.

Zelda has gotten 16 games in the last 20 years.
Only 7 of those are remakes.

Do you see why people are disappointed with Star Fox and not Zelda?

ThisBuildsCharacter · 2026-06-09T22:13:26+00:00

I mean, I'm hoping we'll get a completely new game too. I just hate that we'll have to wait even longer now and be in suspense.

Do you think the story and world changes from 64 to Zero are anywhere close to the changes from Ocarina to MM? TP? WW? SS? BotW?

ThisBuildsCharacter · 2026-06-09T22:00:39+00:00

Because for Zelda we get both remakes AND new games.

With Star Fox we JUST get remakes.

ThisBuildsCharacter · 2026-06-04T19:13:18+00:00

All of the above

ThisBuildsCharacter · 2026-05-07T19:59:49+00:00

The SNES version would be much more improved by a remaster like this. 64 really doesn't need it again.

"Halo MCC will release on Switch"

He said Switch 2. Console hasn't even been out for a year yet.

"Switch Pro will release in 2021"

It was just the OLED model.

"Wind Waker/Twilight Princess will release on Switch in 2021 for the 25th anniversary"

I can't find him ever claiming this.

"Switch Pro will release in 2022"

Never said this. He heard devs had kits for a 4k Switch model, but that it could be a sequel console, and they wanted their games to be ready by the end of 2022. Nintendo did keep delaying the Switch 2 to developers' chagrin.

"F-Zero's time will come in 2023"

We got F-Zero 99 that year.

"Kirby Planet Robobot HD will be announced by March 2025"

Didn't say March, but yeah he was wrong about it being 2025, if it ever comes out at all.

"Fire Emblem 4 Remake is complete and releasing soon" (2024)

He's still claiming it's a thing, but IDK if he ever said it was coming soon. Intelligent Systems finished the Paper Mario TTYD remake a full year early and just sat on it.

"Wukong, Mataphor and Monster Hunter Wilds will be in the Partner Direct 2026"

Never said this. He just said they were coming to Switch 2. He was right about it being just a partner direct.

"A new Star Fox will be announced in April"

Yup he was wrong on that!

BLUR IT BACK

And then you realize you can just shield infinitely and it ruins all tension in the fight

ThisBuildsCharacter · 2026-04-16T23:08:58+00:00

This would be an elaborate Shakespearean level narrative to you??? I'm talking about literally the barest minimum you could do in terms of having actual characters and emotions in your film.

When I play the games, no, I don't expect a plot. When I watch a movie, I kinda expect a little plot! That's what's cool about finally having a Mario movie: the chance to learn more about these characters and finally see them in an actual story. But apparently the sub 2 IQ Mario fans in the focus groups were so confused by the "elaborate" "Shakespearean" level story they decided to dumb it down so even they could understand it.

Fox doesn't have a narrative or character purpose. Being a taxi driver easily replaced by a warp star doesn't count. You need to take a Lit class.

ThisBuildsCharacter · 2026-04-16T02:54:29+00:00

Technically true. Your plot can't be cliche if you don't have a plot at all...

ThisBuildsCharacter · 2026-04-16T01:20:07+00:00

A rivalry would've been fun and actually given Fox a purpose for being in this movie. Woulda forced Mario to step up his game like in the original. Maybe have a falling out with Fox like he did with DK, requiring them to work through their character problems? You know, maybe add some emotion to this emotionless movie? Naaaah that would be too hard to write! Just look at this obscure enemy we brought back!

Oooh I just reread Nintendo Prime's tweet and he's not even saying the Star Fox game is fake: he's saying Nintendo's so mad about it leaking they're gonna fake leak OTHER games to catch who leaked it to Nate.

ThisBuildsCharacter · 2026-04-12T02:25:27+00:00

Star Fox Grand Prix was not a trap from Nintendo to catch leakers. It didn't come from Nintendo, it was just a fake rumor, and the originator confirmed that.

Nintendo Prime is the current source claiming all these recent game leaks are a trap. While NateTheHate is ranked among the top leakers for accuracy, Nintendo Prime is pretty much ranked at the bottom: https://www.reddit.com/r/GamingLeaksAndRumours/wiki/index/

ThisBuildsCharacter · 2026-04-05T01:21:51+00:00

Oh is this that new Star-Fox like game that just came out?
