The dev team originally voiced all characters themselves, but feedback was so negative ("laaaame", "unforgivably bad") they hired professional actors instead.
Always verify the label print. Original N64 labels have a matte texture. Check for a Nintendo-stamped board inside.

Collector's Q&A
How much is Star Fox 64 worth?
As of June 2026, a loose cartridge typically sells for $30–$35. Complete-in-box copies sell for around $145. Live links in the Price Check panel show the latest numbers.
Why does complete-in-box cost more?
The original box and manual were routinely discarded, so surviving complete sets are genuinely scarce. The box and manual can add at least $95 over the loose price.
How do I spot a fake cartridge?
Authentic carts have a Nintendo-stamped board inside, factory-molded plastic seams, and a board serial that matches the region label. Phillips-head screws instead of Gamebit screws? Treat it as suspect.
