Awww yeeee, class game. Although, not sure why we called it "Lylat Wars" in the UK.
@gweh probably something to do with licensing
@gamingonlinux
Yeah, I just had a look on wikipedia:
"As the game approached launch, Nintendo became concerned that the title "Star Fox" could be considered too similar to the name of the German company "StarVox". Thus like its predecessor, the game was rebranded as Lylat Wars in certain PAL territories."
But... they already renamed the SNES game Starwing, so why they didn't just call the N64 game Starwing 64 is beyond me. Anyway, looking forward to the recomp.
@gweh
IIRC they had complaints from birds that starwing sounded too similar to starling
