What started as an original property named Dinosaur Planet for the Nintendo 64 later morphed to adopt Nintendo’s favourite furry after Miyamoto pointed out some similarities between Fox McCloud and the game’s protagonist at the time – or so the story goes. Star Fox Adventures was Rare’s swansong for Nintendo hardware before (literally one day later) being acquired by Microsoft to develop games for the Xbox family. Just like the lost relationship, it’s not quite perfect, but it is the perfect encapsulation of their time spent together, a symbol of what made each part of the pairing special on their own, but even more magical together.ĭid that work? …no? Ok, that was probably all a bit of stretch. Thankfully though, the girl left behind a parting gift.

Girl gets wooed by billionaire new guy and leaves for greener pastures. Boy and girl are an amazing fit and make some incredible memories together. It’s unclear when or if we will ever see Gamecube games released via Nintendo Switch online, some type of Virtual Console or maybe even a Mini-Classic release, so in the meantime, we’re going to talk about them until Nintendo remembers they exist.

The GameCube library has countless forgotten masterpieces, as well as plenty of oddities and hidden gems, and unless it featured Zelda it’s probably still stuck there. To pay respect to the purple lunchbox, each fortnight I’m going to be taking a look back at a different GameCube game, focusing on titles that have never received a port or remaster to more recent consoles. Sure, the classic titles from the NES and SNES library have received 347 ports to every system imaginable, and the N64 has seen a respectable rehash of its most renowned hits, but one system seems to be regularly left to the annals of history – the Nintendo GameCube.Įnter – Boxed Away, a GameCube retrospective series.

For a company with such an impeccably rich back catalogue, Nintendo is often surprisingly hesitant to delve into it.
