Review: Star Fox 64 3D (3DS)
With a site named “WingDamage” and a podcast called “Barrel Roll!” it shouldn’t come as any surprise that many here on the site grew up adoring the first couple of Star Fox games. As I’ve written about in the past, the series really hasn’t been able to find a clear direction that works after Star Fox 64. Each game after that point has been a mess of ideas that fail to satisfy the way the core, rail shooting gameplay of the originals did.
Perhaps it’s because of this lack of confidence in the future of Star Fox that I was so eager to revisit the glory days of its past. Star Fox 64 3D may be a remake of a fourteen year old game, but it’s also a remake of the best the series has to offer by a large margin, and one of the greatest gems you’ll find in a genre that barely exists anymore.

On a very futuristic episode of “Barrel Roll! A Video Game Podcast”, the show has an extra D! Not only do we give a rundown of Nintendo’s new 3DS, even our “What We’ve Been Playing” bumper is in 3D. It’s more D’s than you can handle.
The guys talk Super Street Fighter IV 3D Edition, Ridge Racer 3D, Pilotwings Resort, Steel Diver, and Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Shadow Wars.
They also talk a little about GIRP, the amazing new frustration based game from the guys that brought us QWOP.
