Discover Alternate Routes All Over Again in Star Fox 64 3D

The release of Star Fox 64 3D is right around the corner – next Friday, September 9, to be exact. As the name suggests, it’s a remake of the Nintendo 64 classic, but like Ocarina of Time 3D it’s been given some visual polish (which I must say looks much nicer than its Zelda counterpart) as well as updated sound, voiceovers, and unique 3DS features and multiplayer modes. Sure, it’s Yet Another 3DS Remake, but it’s really one of the most unique, diverse, and just plain fun games Nintendo’s ever produced.
A trailer showing off the game’s alternate routes system came out today. It’s one of the favorite features of the Star Fox franchise but was put to spectacular use with the 64 edition. Your actions in gameplay affect which stages you’ll progress to. Look for secret routes, save various teammates, and meet certain prerequisites in order to take the “harder” route – otherwise you’ll just proceed along the standard lower path. It makes each playthrough just a little bit different, meaning the replay value for this game is exceptional.
