I'm not the only one who saw this box art as a kid and thought "Who are the robot and the fox guy?", am I?
nope, it was only you, special snowflake main character that you are. please post your blog
Metroid and Star Fox both sold millions. You're a third worlder who is trying too hard to fit in.
>>12784581Yeah I grew up primarily on N64, I did have a SNES before that but I was super young and just had Mario All Stars + Donkey Kong Country 2 & 3, and the Star Wars GameI didn't recognize Samus, Captain Falcon, or Ness as a result. I was only loosely aware who Kirby was due to the Gameboy games and Crystal Shards. Was very surprised to find out in Melee Samus was a girl
Why did they minimize Link's importance in that boxart? Retarded marketing move. Also, it needed Luigi, Donkey Kong and Yoshi.>>12784654>I didn't recognize Samus, Captain Falcon, or Ness as a result.Same. Smash Bros introduced me to those characters.
>>12784581If all you had was an N64, I could understand Samus, but Star Fox 64 was one of the best sellers on the N64.
Jp boxart is better
>>12785804>Retarded marketing moveGame is the 5th best selling title for the Nintendo 64
>>12784581I was 5 and quite literally only knew of Pikachu and Jigglypuff, even Mario I was only vaguely aware of
>>12786096That won't stop me from unleashing my ferocious analytic power of criticizing my betters from a position of total ignorance.
>>12784581Everyone knows Fox. Maybe Samus I can understand, since there was no N64 Metroid. Ness was a wtf to me at the time, was under the impression Earthbound was Japan-only.
>>12784581>the fox guyThat's clearly a kangaroo.
Star Fox was everywhere in magazine ads and stuff. Both SNES and N64.
What was it like being a kid in the 90s?
Star Fox? More like Star Hawks-a-loogie in your mouth. Then my bully beat me up.
>>12784581Everyone starts somewhere.
>>12784581I could understand not knowing who Metroid is as they really had a hate boner for her during the 64's lifespan, but Star Fox had a release only, like, 2 years prior.
>>12789035Better. Let's just leave it at that.
>>12786021I love simple, unpretentious comic/popart art direction of 64. Melee's toybox/historical retrospective feel was also charming, the games became too self-serious in presentation as time went on.
>>12786021Apparently Sakurai hated this. He wanted the packaging to be more serious, like later games.
>>12784587>>12784650lol OP mindraped the tendies with a simple childhood memory
>>12789332>every single interaction online ever is part of my personal console warry agenda
