Star Fox 64 is now available on the Nintendo eShop as a Wii U Virtual Console title! Nintendo of Europe released the game on March 24, 2016 for a promotional price of only €4.99 / £4.49 until April 21, 2016, one day before the expected release of Star Fox Zero; the price will afterwards revert to the standard Nintendo 64 Virtual Console game price of €9.99 / £8.99, so you better hurry and take advantage of this offer!

Nintendo of America have made no announcements at the time this thread was posted.

NOTICE: For the first time ever, Europeans can play the U.S. version of Star Fox 64 at its glorious full 60 Hz! Additionally, if you previously purchased Lylat Wars from the Wii Shop Channel on or transferred to the same Wii U console, you can get the Nintendo eShop re-release at only a fraction of the price as any other Nintendo 64 title, despite it being the U.S. version with the proper "Star Fox 64" moniker.

Not going to happen. Legal mumbo jumbo with the FX chip.

Yeah, I know... It's exhausting at this point, trying to wait for Nintendo to get it back, though. Who currently has it, again?

Is it me or do the Japanese voices sound more over-the-top than their English counterparts?

Also this has me curious if the NX will be able to emulate a 3DS. It'd be cool to also have 64 3D on the eshop as well.

      The next Star Fox game
      By TheRadFox987
      With E3 having gone by and no mention of Star Fox: Grand Prix what does everyone think the next game will be like? Will there even be a next game?
      We all know about the Arwing in Starlink, but aside from that, was Grand Prix just a rumor? And what will become of the franchise as a whole?

      Having discovered the CDs with the full osts, has there been any attempt at ripping the full soundtracks with flac/scans? These are super expensive and seemingly hard to get, surely someone musta been frustrated by this...

      What would a star fox 64 2 for N64 have been like?
      By Wreckingcanon
      Nintendo has made Majora's mask in under 2 years by recycling a lot of content to make OoT and yet it is very different and and so one of the most beloved entries in that series.  If Star fox 64 2 has a similar sort of development history ad Majora's mask and still be on the N64 console, what would have been like?

      Ace Waters done did a Star Fox Remix!
      By The VGM Lover
      I'm The VGM Lover. I share a good Video Game tune/remix/cover every single day down on my twitter page (which you can find in my signature down below). I also happen to have been here since 2015, a year before I started my twitter (I used to call myself amcintyr9998, and was nicknamed Cintyr, until I finally changed it later in 2016).
      When I see a damn good cover of a damn good Star Fox tune like this one, you bet your bums I'm gonna showcase it, and now, I'd also like to take this time to open up a new conversation on it. If you have thoughts on it, share it here! The pleasure is all mine!

      Star Fox Command Now Available on the Wii U eShop in Japan
      By Hope(N Forever)
      Not particularly exciting news for an English-language forum, and not to mention we already had it for months, but I just wanted to inform you that starting from September 29, 2016, Japan finally got the Nintendo DS title Star Fox Command available on the Nintendo eShop as a Wii U Virtual Console title. I guess I just needed an excuse to post this following new Japanese trailer. Check it out:
