Retro shooter fans are celebrating the hotly anticipated Star Fox 64 PC fan port, and the original character designer is among those thrilled with the result.

"I don't think Nintendo would tolerate this," ex-Nintendo developer Takaya Imamura responded to the news on Twitter, "but I'm personally very happy about it." The classic sequel, also known in the PAL region as Lylat Wars, launched back in 1997 as a series reboot of 1993 original. Star Fox 64 had only been playable on Nintendo 64 hardware until the creative minds at Harbour Masters released its PC port just yesterday, dubbing their modernized take Starship.
