Yeah, Star Fox 64 is in many ways just a remake of the first game.

Games Beaten
-Geometry Wars 3: Dimensions Evolved (XBO)
I love the pure action thrill of Geometry Wars. Its simplicity is part of its attraction. This game complicates stuff perhaps a little too much—I hate any 3D level—but it is nice having more to do, like the adventure mode. Some of those challenges were really tough! But at the end of the day it's the classic modes that remain the most fun, and they are the ones I'll be periodically returning to play.
Games Bought
July was another sleeper month on purchases. I finally picked up Code Name: S.T.E.A.M. (3DS) after passing it over so many times. It was $6 new! Then it was just the PS+ games Rise of the Tomb Raider: 20 Year Celebration (PS4) and Erica (PS4), which looks like a cool FMV thriller. That's it!
Games Being Played
-Kirby and the Rainbow Curse (WiiU)
At the final boss!
-Astral Chain (Switch)
More than halfway through now.
-Star Fox (SNES)
I started this up out of curiosity (and to finally unlock Star Fox 2 on my SNES Classic) and it held up better than I expected. The frame rate, of course, is very low and some of the enemies are kind of abstract but it was still quite fun and a lot of the things we associate with the series really did start right here in the first game. I was surprised. There are three paths through the game. I played the first one.
-Destiny 2 (PS4)
Just mopping up various quests and stuff.
-God Eater 3 (PS4)
The postgame grind has begun!
