Star Fox アサルト
Nintendo/Namco
GCN
2005
My stack of unbeaten GameCube games is officially one smaller. I finally finished Star Fox earlier this week. Certainly not a great game, maybe not even a good one, but great fun, and without a doubt the most ridiculous entry in a franchise that has long defined the word. Namco created something that feels decidedly not like a Nintendo game, but still somehow completely like a Star Fox game. The final level is insane, and the final boss is quite possibly the most challenging button-mashing endurance test I've ever faced. I considered giving up for good numerous times. Ended up having to put the GC controller down on the bed so I could rapid-tap the (massive) A button with my right index/middle/ring fingers for the entire level + boss, 20+ minutes nonstop each try. My arm was trembling. Fun stuff.
