When Star Fox first came out, my friend told me he saw it on display and said I had to get it. Well I trusted him and got it and it was pretty amazing looking for the time.
I got Star Fox 64 because my college roommate's girlfriend wanted to play it so she bought it to play on my N64, but then she never wanted it back so I got it by default. Having all those voices was pretty groundbreaking back then.
Star Fox Assault was made by Namco and was an interesting take. I'm glad that Star Fox 2 made it on the SNES Mini. And I don't think Star Fox Adventures is THAT bad. But Star Fox as a whole isn't one of my favorite Nintendo series.
I don't think we'll see another Star Fox for a while. The last one they did, Star Fox Zero, was one of the worst Nintendo games ever made, I thought.
