Dang, this is seriously good stuff. It sounds too good for SNES almost. And, you're right...why no Star Fox Wii game yet!?

Ah, Starfox... remember playing it on my friend's 64, got it for the VC later. Contrary to popular opinion, Assault was awesome too.

^ I have the very CD you are referring to! Yeah that Corneria track was never used, nor was the next song (Black Hole). Oddly that Corneria track also has a strange one second of dead air. Never understood that.

I remember way back before Star Fox 64 came out, and friend of mine got a CD containing music from supposed future N64 games. Star Fox 64 was featured on this disk, and it contained the most balling version of the Corneria music ever. Flash forward to when I actually get Star Fox 64, and the first time I play the Corneria stage. I was so disheartened to not hear said music. Almost made me stop playing (luckily I didn't since Star Fox 64 is among the best 64 games ever).

I do like the Starfox theme, but I have never played the game so I think I'm missing some of the importance of it.

Never having played it, it invokes nostalgia within me, the sort of which you cannot grasp. It reminds me of simpler times... Also, barrel roll.

The original Starfox beats the rest as far as music goes. Its so sad that the composer stopped working for videogames. Koji Kondo did a fine job with Starfox64 but the other composers didn't do such a good job with the newer Starfox games. If there's a Starfox game in the works, please recruit Koji Kondo again Nintendo!

I hear music too. I tried to taste it, but it was not to be.

This music is awesome! I've only played Star Fox 64, so sadly I missed out on this one. At least I can still enjoy the music, so thanks Brett.

Great pick Brett. This song is so good. Personally, I associate it more with smash brothers than starfox, but that's just because I've played fox's stage to death. Anyway, I still love the song.

Star Fox 64 is the only one I played. That's some pretty cool music though!

I honestly expected more barrel roll comments than this. The internet is asleep at the wheel today apparently. Regardless, I have the first stage of Star Fox stuck in my head.
