Remembering Why Star Fox 64's Rumble Pak Was So Special

I’m thoroughly enjoying Star Fox, the new remake of Star Fox 64 which was a remake of Star Fox. It all comes circling back! I was going to write something about how this is the exact Nintendo experience I’ve been craving on the Switch 2. I was going to write about how this game makes me feel the way the Nintendo 64 version did when I was twelve. Is it the deepest game? No. But it’s like they took what I imagined Star Fox 64 to be and then actually did it. You might disagree, but also, this column isn’t about that. Instead, I want to talk about how the Rumble Pak that came with Star Fox 64 was the greatest thing ever. Top ten best choices humanity has ever made.
