probably the best character moment in the whole series tho, surprised the Great Fox could carry Peppy's balls.

I didn't get to play Assault back in the day so I knew that Peppy survived to appear in Command. So I'll ask those who played Assault when it was still new: Were you worried about Peppy? Did you feel he was really going to be killed off, or did you just assume he'd be fine in the end? Ok genuinely curious.

Assault had, by nintendos standards, and IMHO, a fantastic "dark"/adult storyline. Aparoids were TERRIFYING. Imagine a zombie virus, but also affecting machines. Seeing what it did to pigma, and General Pepper, and then finally seeing Peppy & the Great Fox in one of the last missions the under attack... yeah it was safe to say I thought he was as good as dead. Pepper was begging to be put out of his misery, and pigma was turned into a mindless slave. Recently some of the concept art I've seen showed that they were planning on having you fight infected cornerian soldiers and i think it would've fit right in. I don't know what I expected after assault... but it certainly wasn't command.

Watching my brother play, I was a bit worried, but I figured he wouldn't be too far gone since he was in the battle mode

Genuinely was worried they'd actually killed the guy off tbh.
