I'm sad that the developers couldn't (or just didn't) implement an online multiplayer mode given that Starfox Command already had a rudimentary one in place. If they had expanded the original multiplayer mode, it would have made all the difference in making the game a day one purchase.
I know that someone stated on RFN that dogfighting in the original Starfox 64 wasn't all that much fun, but my friends and I had hours of fun with it back in the day. I used to dream of someday playing a sequel to Starfox or Rogue Squadron that allowed friends to cooperatively attack a fleet, a boss or complete a mission. For example, it would have been great if you could have a multiplayer mode where you could either choose the role of the Star Fox or Star Wolf teams.
I feel a little sad that space fighters/shooters/simulators are generally out of vogue. Star Fox was probably my most-played game during the N64 days. I love that game; I used to play through it at least once a day after school.
