Let's Play Star Fox Assault #11 - Bonus Game - Xevious

Star Fox Assault
Bonus Game - Xevious (NES version)

With the single-player campaign completed, it's time to explore some other game modes of Star Fox Assault, one of which takes place deep in the roots of the genre. Xevious, an arcade game also made by Namco, was an early precursor to Star Fox and other games to follow. How well can it still hold up under today's standards? Let's find out...

yup, it's the same one. i unlocked it via the silver badges, and it's the same thing, except you use the a and b buttons on the gamecube controller.

@aquahero3000 Ok good to know. I was a little hesitant to do the VC version because of the fact that it might be different. Thanks for clearing that out

[Odinspack33]

Wow, never would of guessed those "Bacura" enemies from ToS originated from a game like this. I'll think of this Let's Play the next time I playthrough the game and encounter them. :P

[ShadowMarioXLI]

@Odinspack33 Yeah I actually played through Tales of Symphonia just recently and didn't realize that either. I thought Namco was just being lazy with their enemy design. =P Thanks for watching, Sir Spack

@Glitched64 ikr?that andross was the BEST andross these apes,nintendo go to hell or bring back the OLD andross

[Glitched64]

@Slaya49fan Yes. Back when I first played it my favorite part of the game was those floating tiles, or rare occasions they glitched and I went through them. However back then I didn't know who andross was. :P. I could never pass the 'boss' though.

[Slaya49fan]
