Watch Out for Fireballs! 66: Star Fox / Pokemon Snap

Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross offer some pointed praise for Star Fox and Pokémon Snap.

In another one of our split EP episdes, we explore a foundational on-rails shooter, and an experimental on-rails shooter. Star Fox for the SNES will alway stick out in people’s minds as the game that introduced them to the term “polygons”. Pokémon Snap will always stick out in people’s minds as that really short game about making Pikachu surf. Let’s explore those preconceptions together, why don’t we?
