Arwing 64 - Wiimodeled?

Disappointed
Seeing as the Suggestion Thread is unpinned, I'll make a thread instead.

As we all know, Virtual Console's Star Fox 64 has been released for some time now. Well, I was thinking... Would making a VC Arwing 64 be possible and practical at the moment? Not even necessary for the story, maybe just for Multiplayer with no changes in stats (although it'd be more natural to just keep the VC model in the story and have the N64 one be in VS mode). That is all.
 
If I'm not mistaken, the VC games are carbon copies of the original games so a VC Arwing is no different than the SF64 Arwing we're already making.
 
Yes but there were a few changes to SF64 for some reason (i.e. the epilipsey causing Area-6 boss' laser is now 95% purple.)

However, the arwing's design remained the same, so all you have to do is find the 64 version.
 
Actually, the virtual console is not an exact replica. Some of the games in the VC are updated graphically (though I don't know which). I'm not sure if the Arwing model changed, though. IGN said something in the review, but nothing was stated if it was the same model. They just said, "The progressive upgrade provided by the Wii makes this the best looking N64 VC title yet – the angular ship designs are a perfect fit for the bump up to 480p."

I heard the N64 games looked better because of better texture filtering and other general graphics upgrades. Anyway from the single shot that they have, that Arwing looks the same as the SF64 one. IGN's comments look like they're just talking about the upscaling to 480p resolution, not any specific model or texture change.
 
lazy. they could easily upgrade the models, as poly count and memory are not a problem. otherwise, i see no purpose in paying "wii" points for them [the games].
 
No way! These are the classics, they shouldn't be upgraded in any way.

Having the games on the VC is a nice alternative for those who missed out on the older games, but as long as my old consoles keep running, I don't have a reason to get them yet. Plus, I don't think I've ever played a game that controls better than those of the N64.
 
this is going to end up a battle of opinions...

so, is the topic about ripping the sf64 arwing and putting it into SoL? because the sf64 arwing we have now beats it. it beats it more than a erinyes beats a loki.
 
takashi, no. This thread is not about ripping models. Of course the SoL model beats the 64 one. By sheer reason something from the '97 is not gonna look as pretty as something from '98 let alone '07. And yes, I believe that anything super blurry needs to be upped. Cleaner models > Clunky ones. The point of getting Star Fox 64 for the VC is because, as Fenix said, Star Fox 64 is a classic and brings back the nostalgia.
 
im not up to a looks vs. fanboyism today. maybe when my blood alchohol content is 50% and im deprived of sleep and nurishment...
 
Plus, I don't think I've ever played a game that controls better than those of the N64.

That's the glory of the Wii, at least IMO. When I want some beatdown, I just plug in my GCN controllers and slam in a copy of SSBM, and go to town.
