Starfox zero is great when you get the hang of things Starfox 64 is also great and much more simpler Starfox assault is cool, but not better than snes, 64 and zero. What it does, exceptionally well is the multiplayer. The best on GC in my opinion.

Starfox 64 is a classic!

I got into the series because of my SNES mini too, but if you played the Star Fox 1 and 2, i recommend Star Fox 64, it's my favorite one because it has improved in graphics compared to the two previous games, also, you can play it on N64 or 3DS
