Star Fox 64   [Edit]   [Talk]

Star Fox 64 (called Lylat Wars in PAL regions) is a video game for the Nintendo 64 that was released in 1997. It is noted as being the first video game that used the innovative Rumble Pak that is commonly used in today's video games. The game was renamed Lylat Wars in Europe, because the name “Star Fox” was already registered by a company called Mythicon.

Star Fox was originally going to have a sequel on the SNES simply named Star Fox 2, which was finished but eventually cancelled. Much of the leftovers was transferred over to Star Fox 64, although Star Fox Command better resembles the original.

Star Fox 64 was later remade for the Nintendo 3DS titled Star Fox 64 3D.
