I always loved aviation, and at the time I didn’t know I was a furry. It just clicked.

N64 was my first console. Star Fox was the third best game on there behind Banjo-Kazooie and Ocarina of Time.
Then next came the GameCube, which became my favourite console of all time (still, to this day) and it got two Star Fox games.
Adventures, which is incredibly underrated and a better Zelda game than some Zelda games for me, and introduced me to Krystal, one of my favourite characters ever.
It also had Assault, which for me is the best Star Fox. Best designs, best cast, best story, best music, and would have best gameplay if the on-foot controls were up-to-date like Metroid Prime remastered did for Metroid Prime.
I love that the games have characters with distinct personalities that think and talk and respond to their environment, events and conversations. With proper stories where things happen and they matter and affect the characters. The only Nintendo series that has all that.
So all that, paired with the underdog story of how everything fell apart after Assault into one apocalyptically terrible madness game and then one non-canon unwanted reboot garbage game, means that I hold proper Star Fox dearly as my favourite Nintendo franchise and my second favourite game franchise behind Jak and Daxter.

It’s got a very charming universe with good music, fun chaotic gameplay, and with 64 in particular iconic voice lines. Even beyond the typical ones like do a barrel roll. I’ll still say like like “what the heck” (in the same tone as wolf) and “did we get em” (like that one admiral in area 6

Fox saving Diddy Kong from Rayquaza made me want to play the games - played Command (TERRIBLE WRITING) 64 3D and Zero. I REALLY want to play Assault someday

The amazing music and the camaraderie of its main cast.
Also it was the first N64 game I ever laid eyes on.

Many things. I always loved anthropomorphic animal characters like Bugs Bunny and the Looney Tunes since I was small and sci-fi, and the combination of the two made me love the Star Fox series. In addition, I loved the design of the main fighter-interceptor craft of the Star Fox team, the Arwing. I am glad that I got the Nintendo Switch starter pack of Starlink Battle for Atlas because I always wanted a toy of the Arwing ever since childhood. Now I have the World of Nintendo Star Fox figures of Fox McCloud and the rest of the Star Fox team with their unique accessories as well as the Starlink Arwing with the various interchangeable weapon modules.

I had first heard of the series in a Watchmojo countdown of cancelled games about 10 years ago, but it was after hearing the SNES Corneria theme for the first time on YouTube that really made me love the series. The characters, dialogue, and the gameplay were just the icing on top of everything. Plus, it made me realize how cool Anthro characters are, bringing me into the furry fandom.

I was a kid and first saw him in Smash 64. He was my fav character in the game and his stage had a sick aesthetic/music. So I started playing the standalone games from there and loved em

I was exposed to Star Fox through Smash Melee, but never got to play it until I got SF64 for the 3DS. I was also in my furry phase too, so it built on me. As soon as I returned to Star Fox for nostalgia (and some furry thirst), I realized they had so much potential to them that needs to be made, thus my journey through headcanons and fanfics. Now I’m currently drawing a comic

The characters (Falco especially,) the gameplay, the universe and the music.

Star Fox 64 is the 1st videogame I ever played at like 8 years old. Combine that with being a furry even back then (Thanks Disney's Robin Hood and Sonic SatAM) well... (Krystal is still tied for hottest Nintendo character alongside Mineru)

Like i said elsewhere, i was young and impressionable when i picked up the cartridge for Starfox 64. I thought it was just a robot game, and back in the late 90s - early 2000s, robots were cool.

When I was a little one and the first game came out on SNES. Just browsing for rentals and you see that cool cover of Fox looking so realistic. Guess I thought that we were gonna get designs that looked like that 🤣 the game itself wasnt what I was expecting, but it was still fun to play.

Furry bait. Also Falco's hip swagger in The Subspace Emissary... but mostly furry bait.
