What’s SFA? Oh no Dringo tell me you haven’t started another organization after the last disaster! Well no I won’t be telling you that as I am talking about Starfox Adventures: Dinosaur Planet, scheduled for an early Gamecube release in this country next year.
A little background to the game:
Dinosaur Planet was first announced by Rare as a late N64 release but was canned and was making its move to the Gamecube. Nintendo’s mastermind Shigsy asked the Rare team in charge (makers of the excellent Jet Force Gemini no less) to change the characters so Rob the robot, Fox McCloud, Slippy Toad and Peppy Hare featured in it. This was done and so now Dinosaur Planet will grab the eye of those Lylat Wars fans.
What’s the argument?
Starfox adventures (or SFA as I shall now call it) is a sequel to Lylat Wars, right? Well Bonus would be saying that quite a lot but many disagree. You see SFA has nothing to do with the Arwing’s in fact it’s an RPG style adventure game with Fox as the main character. So it isn’t a sequel! Well Bonus disagrees he says it continues the Starfox series, which he is right in saying! But is Super Smash Brothers Melee a sequel to Mario 64? It features many characters from the game so surly it is a sequel to Mario 64.
Of course it isn’t there is no similarity between the two other than the design of a few characters so what’s so different about SFA? It originally had nothing to do with Starfox; all that appears similar is the look of a few characters and names! It isn’t even the same genre! Indiana Jones and the infernal machine on the N64 borrowed many ideas from Zelda so is Indiana Jones a sequel to Zelda then?
Like Crash Team Racing on the Playstation we can’t call it a sequel to Crash Bandicoot… or can we? It is true to say SFA and Crash Team Racing alike only slapped these famous game characters face’s on to their games to help sell them yet are they a sequel. A more accurate description might be a continuation of a series but if this is true is Smash Brothers in the Starfox series? This throws many questions in the air to what defines a sequel?
Whatever it might be a sequel, a continuation of a series or whatever it still looks great and is still on my hit list. There might be an element of truth in what Bonus says SFA might well be a sequel (in the strictest sense of the word) to Lylat Wars but if this is so then Rare and Nintendo have helped show that a sequel can indeed be completely different to its predecessors making for a radically new gaming experience.
Here’s to the Future

Im sure you know, I was the fuel behind this discussion yesterday dringo.
I mentioned it to bonus but he didn't listen.
I told him about Mario Kart and Mario 64 not being connected. He already knows of this argument.
