Gonna use this thread as an excuse to mention that I've been going through old Nintendo Power comics and man, there's some kino in there. The Star Fox comic would still get certain ideas referenced in later games interestingly enough.
I can only imaging if Nintendo gave a shit about Star Fox. Maybe the sci-fi and space-opera would've been able to keep it grounded and not go into Archie Sonic level shenanigans. Who am I kidding. But I thought it was cool even for a dead franchise.
