Interesting articleÂ
Star Fox shines for me in one key area, brilliant western and eastern ideas working together.

It does blend the 2 very well. I was a massive fun of Argonaut's Star Glider 2 on the ST and Spectrum 128k, the game they originally wanted Star Fox to be like.

Never got around to seeing that, looks pretty smart.
Personally I am glad Nintendo took a strong hand in Star Fox. The game was perfectly suited for the console and even though it was linear, had extensive replay value trying to achieve 100% on each level.
Star Fox 2, more in line was what Argonaut wanted was a fine game but lacked the epic feel of the first.
Pardon my ignorance, but what was the I sight that Miyamoto brought? What does he mean about "on rails"?

"On rails" means you cannot fly anywhere, your path through the game is fixed.
I really liked that article. Thanks for sharing!!!!
DMA's Body Harvest on N64 was another title that changed pretty drastically once Nintendo were involved:
