A quick, blurry tease of Fox McCloud's latest adventure.
StarFox, mobile and a hint of NX. Bring it, Nintendo.
If Star Fox has online multiplayer that would be so awesome...even local...
Nintendo really needs to stepbupbwith the online gaming.
The only reason I bought a Wii was becuae if Zelda and its looking like the only reason I will buy a Wii u is becuase of Zelda.
A new Starfox with multiplayer co-op would be absolutely bad a$$. An open world space dog fight with squad base team action. Voice chat would definitely be required for this.
A Zelda trailer featuring more gameplay would also put their conference over the edge.
Not really interested in their mobile future...they could save that for another time, not E3.
As for NX, I wouldn't mention t. Focus on WiiU and get some more people to want to buy that system. Why talk about a future console when you have a struggling console to sell right now.
I'm really looking forward to this E3! Star Fox for Wii U, potential Metroid titles... should be a good presentation by Nintendo.
mobile and a hint of NX

Did journalist not listen to a word Iwata said.
Pissing you off a bit too, eh?
I'm sick of people saying they're expecting it.
Wall-punching has occurred over this, for me.
If I fully vented over it here, I'm sure I'd probably get myself banned for foul language...
Willfull stupidity just irks me to no end...
It's really starting to get ridiculous. It's like these people live under rocks or something.
Why on earth would they announce their next system now? So they can end up like Sega? People are so shortsighted when it comes to Nintendo it's ridiculous.
NWR:
Star Fox 64 blew me away when it was released in 1997. The title was a complete package on the Nintendo 64, complete with full voice acting, replay value, multiplayer, and the Rumble Pack. I was hooked on this game for quite a while and even, at one point, had the game's dialog completely memorized. I couldn't wait for a sequel.
Years went by and those sequels came. However, I felt like each new entry in the Star Fox series didn't live up to the standard set by Star Fox 64. I wouldn't call these post Star Fox 64 games bad, but they surely did not live up to the legacy of Fox McCloud’s Nintendo 64 adventure.
It is supposed to be out this year. Nintendo has also talked about Starfox being "very cinematic" and "beautiful". I found that to be interesting for a Starfox game.
I am sure it will be at E3. Can't wait.
To date, all Star Fox games have been pretty cinematic, for their hardware. The amount of "live" dialogue on Star Fox (SNES) wasn't common on an action game, Star Fox 64 was Nintendo's foray into voice acting, and it had awesome cutscenes (for the time), Star Fox Assault was pretty cinematic overall as OtakuDJK1NG above me said, and even Animal Planet had pretty nice storytelling and cutscenes (even if it wasn't a Star Fox game initially).
I can't say anything about Star Fox Command because it's the only Star Fox game I didn't play. I tried it, but didn't like its controls at all. :(
I hope they make it more like the first two entries and nix the on foot parts. I tried to like it but I just couldn't. Assualt was still a good game however.
If the on foot plays like that game I wouldn't mind. Sega used to publish some great niche games. Now I want to dust off my PS3 and play Vanquish. lol
Sometimes I feel I'm the only one who actually loved the on-foot sections and the sections where you had the freedom to fight on all means (arwing, landmaster and on-foot).
I honestly believe the hate those sections got was undeserved. I feel like people ONLY wanted Star Fox to be 100% on-rails arwing combat ALL the time, so they weren't receptive of the other gameplay styles on Command. Which is a shame, really.
I hope the Wii U version tries this again, and refines the formula so that everyone (miraculously) likes it. :P
I wouldn't mind having the Land Master or Blue Marine back. I liked those missions. On foot wasn't all bad for me. I did enjoy ridding on the wing of a Wolfen fighter for instance. I just remember wishing there was more of a focus on flight.
If they made a good blend of 64 and Adventures, that would hit right about home with me. Have a non-linear galaxy to explore that leads to on-rail missions while traveling between areas. Once you reach the planet, go down on foot and do some on foot, dungeon-esque stuff akin to Zelda.
I really wish they would make Fox and co. seem like true mercenaries for once. They're more like soldiers since they always take missiles through the space police via General Pepper

We’re still not sure what Star Fox really looks like or how exactly it will play, but pending any surprise delays we know it is coming this year, which makes E3 2015 the perfect platform to show it off. It’s been a long time since we’ve played a first-party Star Fox title (the last one was Star Fox 64) and we’ve got some hopes and aspirations for the series.
Great informative article from Game Informer. Everything they suggested sounds great. Nintendo should include Star Fox 2 as an un-lockable or part of the new "Club Nintendo" prizes.
Nintendo SHOULD have been leveraging their back catalog this whole time. Digital eShop purchases should have been met with an email offering a Virtual Console entry in that same series. This accomplishes (2) things: (1) it builds anticipation and, who knows- maybe it even fills in back story and educates younger gamers and (2) gets consumers accustomed to using the service for their retro needs.
Nintendo is perhaps the most fortunate in the gaming space to have so many back catalog games associated with them --both first and third-party-- and they SHOULD use that to its fullest potential.
Nintendo could explore more the universe and the characters, like the article said, it's interesting to know what happened with the original Star Fox Team: Fox's dad, Peppy and Pigma, side-quest missions would be great for that matter.
I would like missions on feet with the squad again, i liked that feature from Assault, of course the missions with the Arwing should be the main feature of the game.
Let's hope for a release this year, there are not so many details about it, but Nintendo said they will release before Zelda, so there is still hope.
People may hate me for this, but I wouldn't mind if the foot missions took cues from Metroid Other M's style of gameplay. You could switch out between the different squad members on the fly, each with different abilities, speed, attack power, etc...
Either way, any foot gameplay really needs to nail a good fast paced action tone.
The only thing that bother me about other m was the story really. It was like gears of war in a weird way.
day one
Miyamoto, you f&%#ing tease!
That's so awesome, finally a new Star Fox game!
Wii U with great exclusives.
Playing on the pad and displaying on the TV makes it fun for the people watching?
How is that any more fun for the people watching than if the gamepad wasn't being used?
