Lylat Wars (or Starfox 64, depending on region) was one of my favourite N64 games as a child. It still has a hold over me now - I replay it every now and then on emulator.
So when I found a cheap copy of Starfox 64 3DS in Reading CEX, I though, "hell why not."
What surprised me was how much the graphics have improved. I felt a strong compulsion to go to every single area to see it all anew. Even hated places like Sector Z, Titania and Solar. It is a beautiful game. Many of my misgivings about the graphics in the original when it came to places like Aquas have now been corrected.
There are two different modes for control - Gyro and the original N64 controls. Gyro mode uses the gyroscope in the 3DS to control the ship. It's not practical for strong movements unfortunately - I'm too used to being able to zip around the screen.
The voices haven't changed much, but there are some additional phrases from your teammates when you shoot them accidentally and the Star Wolf guys when you evade them.
All in all, I recommend it whether you enjoyed the game on N64 or never played it before - it's short but the replayability factor is extremely high.
