There’s a Star Fox 64 fan port on the way, and it looks incredible

[phillynews215]

• The team behind the native decompilations of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Majora’s Mask have a new project.
• Called Starship, it’s a native PC port of Star Fox 64 with enhanced performance and graphics.
• It was shown off in a two-hour live stream, with the public build expected as early as next month.

While Nintendo has put the kibosh on several emulation projects like Yuzu, it’s been an incredible year for native ports of retro classics. Decompilation projects have recreated the source code of classic titles like Majora’s Mask, which now have fully native Android ports with higher framerates, widescreen support, cheats, and much, much more.

Over the weekend, the team revealed a new project on Discord, this time targeting Star Fox 64. This title really put the original Nintendo 64 hardware to the test, and considering the limitations of N64 emulators, it hasn’t been the best experience.
