Hopefully, Nintendo won’t remove this one from the internet as well, citing piracy and damage, as the Japanese company tends to be overly aggressive against such initiatives…

The team that created Ship of Harkinian two years ago has now come up with Starship. It’s okay if you don’t know anything about these two names because they didn’t want to say directly what kind of games they were talking about. The year before last, their project was a PC port of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, and now Star Fox 64 (Lylat Wars in Europe) has been given a native PC port, which they’ve shown off in the video embedded below.

The team of Harbour Masters 64 will make it easier to play the game. The fact is that it’s relatively easy to get the N64 masterpiece running, you just need emulation, and Nintendo takes a dim view of that (although the Japanese company was recently caught running Super Famicom = SNES emulation on a Windows PC in the Nintendo Museum. … we’ve written about that before). Native porting is a complex task: you have to decompile the source code of the game, and it requires expertise, but in return, you get a much more refined experience when you play it this way.

You get higher resolution without stretching the UI (and a more authentic experience), support for ultra-wide displays, the glitches that can occur due to emulation, lower system requirements, and even modding the native port, which could open the door to even more port success. The N64 art style still holds up today, even with the higher frame rate and super high resolution. Oh, and the native port is legal, but the fact is that you have to have the original game to play Starship, and getting the ROM is not always a… legal option.

Starship is scheduled for release sometime in December.
