No online multiplayer? Jesus just drop the ball again Nintendo.

Why the hell not? 8 or 16 player dogfighting in space? Instant seller. Even an online based shooter game Splatoon featured a solid single player mode, so why can't a game like this support even the most basic of multiplayer modes?

iamnsuperman3986d ago

I agree. Out of all the games that Nintendo would release this is the one game that needed multiplayer (I am a single player guy myself but some games suit multiplayer better)

Neonridr3986d ago

I will still buy it because I am sure the game will be awesome, but it's still a head scratcher.

bouzebbal3986d ago

Online multiplayer for star Ocean ? Are you moron journalists kidding me? Have you even tried such game before ?

Lightning Mr Bubbles3986d ago (Edited 3986d ago )

I just think they don't care. The Wii U is a bust, I think their focus is on a new console. And what they showed for Wii U is actually laughable. It's just basically providing the Wii U with a 2 weeks notice. (You know for Wii U owners, people who spend money on a Wii U.)

Bimkoblerutso3986d ago

^I don't think it has anything to do with the NX. The most surprising thing is that people are still surprised by their rampant consumer apathy.

I had to chuckle at Aonuma when he said something to the degree that he likes when he can't see other peoples reactions when playing coop in Zelda: Tri Force Heroes, implying that there will be no native voice chat...and they did the same thing with Splatoon.

They don't have a clue, and they don't care to.

Struggling to reach 60fps on such a visually lacking title? Le whaa?

And no MP?

Bah. Lame

The 10th Rider3986d ago

That's not what was said, they said they're prioritizing 60fps.

Neonridr3986d ago

yeah, there was no mention of struggling. I think they are referring to the fact that they would sooner make the game @ 720p/60fps instead of going for higher visuals at a cost to the framerate.

Gazondaily3986d ago

Ah okay my bad. Im still surprised this isnt 1080p and 60fps.

bouzebbal3986d ago (Edited 3986d ago )

Struggling ? MP for star Ocean ? Where did you see or hear they were struggling ? How can you implement MP in star Ocean ? Your comment is.... -_-

Tell me, how about titanfall 800p and 30fps for such a graphical lacking game ? If star Ocean is visually lacking tell me what tf is..

Gazondaily3986d ago

"If star Ocean is visually lacking tell me what tf is.."

A better looking game?

"Of course, as we continue on and once people get a feeling for the game... as the process continues if we find that we do think it'd be really good we'll definitely consider it, but right now we're not."

Doodleburger3986d ago

Probably because it's a remake of star fox 64,and they can't be bothered to do that much work. Gotta hit that 60 fps though, so at least it'll look like a gamecube game, right?

Neonridr3986d ago

this is nothing like Star Fox 64. Unless you mean it features Arwings and Fox McLeod, then yes.. it's a direct copy.

I'm getting this but seriously? Nintendo dropped the ball big time. They've moved on to the NX

Sigh...
It would have been nice.
Well, at least we know the single player will be excellent regardless.

REDDURT3986d ago (Edited 3986d ago )

No multiplayer in star fox. Nintendo just does not get it.

It's a good ponder. Nintendo would be stupid to not do it. The more titles and first party line up released on the Switch 2 the more enticed the customer will be.

Star Fox Zero, Was it Really That Bad?

Has time been kind to Star Fox Zero? Does the game have any redeeming qualities that are worthy of revisiting? Should it be considered for a port to the Switch? Was it really that bad?

Haven't played it since it came out, but I really enjoyed it. Can't tell if that's just nostalgia-tinted glasses, or if I actually consider it a good game though lol.

Vits1658d ago

It's a mediocre game that reuses ideas, scenarios, characters and moments from previous ones. Paired with one of the worst control methods that I had the displeasure of using.

CptDville1657d ago

Those controls. Boring and frustrating at the same time. Only with co-op they were bearable, but co-op was restricted to finished levels.

SeTTriP1657d ago

Yes couldn't finish it it was so boring.

MissAubrey1657d ago

controls made me stop playing also what good is a 65inch tv when you have to look at a tiny Wiiu tablet.. same with kirby & the rainbow curse..

Einhander19711657d ago

No it was great, just the control scheme spoilt things really. The wii u screen was not needed for it really

Platinum wants to bring Star Fox Zero to Switch

But any potential design changes would be up to Nintendo if it happens.

I’d rather Star Fox Assault be brought to Switch with online multiplayer instead

Teflon021707d ago

Finally, someone who knows about Assault. Best Star Fox Multi-player imo.

Neonridr1706d ago

or a Star Fox 64 remaster instead.

deadfrag1707d ago

Platinum Games wants to many things but sadly it does not show nothing new for years!They try to jump on all offers but end finishing none!

whitbyfox1707d ago

1: Get rid of the motion controls.

2: Bring us Okami 3.

Good-Smurf1706d ago (Edited 1706d ago )

I rather have them show more of Bayonetta 3 first before they talking about any new project.
This reeks Inafune's funding for Red Ash and Mighty No.9 animated series, both never materialized.
