Jacob St-Amour from Link-Cable Writes: "There hasn’t been a franchise at Nintendo that has had worse luck than the Star Fox series. A franchise that is either forced to repeat the same entries over and over again or be ridiculed when trying to do something new. To simply put things, the Star Fox franchise is in a rut and it needs to get out of it. There won’t be another chance of greatness with another reimagining of Star Fox 64 and another experimental title may lead to even longer languish. So, you may be asking yourselves, how do you bring Star Fox back? Well, it will certainly be a challenge, but we have a few ideas that may work out for Fox and the rest of the anthropomorphic gang."
Insider NateTheHate confirms a new Star Fox announcement is slated for April via Nintendo Today, authenticating recent reports and rumors.
Nintendo is planning to revive Star Fox with a new game this summer according to an insider, alongside Pikmin 4: Switch 2 Edition and Splatoon Raiders.
Nate the Hate dropping bombs. He shot his recent video this past Wednesday and Nintendo teases Star Fox in Galaxy soon after. At this point hes the source of the leaks. He's an Nintendo employee working psy ops for them. 😆
I liked both of them. Starfox Adventures was a fun game, just not a particularly good Starfox game. On its own, if it stayed Dinosaur Planet, I think it would be much better received. Assault was awesome. Loved multiplayer on that game.
Starfox Adventures had a really special OST in some spots, too. Thorntail Hollow was such a phenomenal score. It was like this beautiful mix of African and Celtic sounds. Like Zulu vocals over something Enya was working on.
I must've missed a good star fox game on the gamecube - the last good one I remember is Star Fox 64- which - imo holds up well to this day..
I honestly did not mind Zero... it deserves a second chance on the NS like many other Wii-U titles received.
All I ask for is plenty of content/stages and a good challenge, if it's a cakewalk I would be disappointed.
I really want a sequel to Star Fox Adventures, but a classic-style Star Fox is also welcome.
Hopefully it's a classic Star Fox like the original but of course with better graphics & a bigger game.
WTMG's Leo Faria: "I respect the hell out of Star Fox for what it was setting out to do in 1993. You gotta love how feisty Nintendo was being, proving the naysayers wrong with their whole “bit wars” schtick. That doesn’t mean I have to like this game… as a game. It’s just not very good. It was a proof of concept, a big fat tech demo. If anything, we ended up getting Star Fox 64, one of the best games of all time (don’t at me) four years later, so that alone is enough to validate the original Star Fox‘s existence. It also marked the beginning of arguably Nintendo’s most neglected and disrespected franchise alongside F-Zero. One I sure hope won’t die with that disgraceful Wii U title as its swan song, its last hoorah. Happy anniversary, you weird, ugly, barely polygonal monstrosity. At the end of the day, we still love you."
I would love it if Nintendo finally did a Chorus type Star Fox game at this point. I think with their characters and their "Nintendo Appeal" - whatever that is - they could bring back Star Fox as a main franchise.
The Chorus game design, or even a Crimson Skies style to a lesser extent, would make for a great template to get Star Fox up and running again and get the franchise out of the rut it's suffering from.
Sure, they can go back to the SNES/N64 era gameplay but...really? Meh. Maybe they can use that corridor gameplay style for a smaller game, released between the big releases, or as Boss Levels at the end of each free roaming chapter for that added "Cinematic Flair".
Star Fox certainly deserves better.
Don't you mean a No Man Sky, only not really. Bit more scripted with an open world after game just in the Lylat system.
No. The game Chorus is the perfect way to bring Star Fox out of the old ways and into the new while still retaining the charm of the series. No need to bloat the game design with a No Man Sky type of open world. That would be counterproductive and just too much of a departure for the series. We'll have another Dinosaur Planet/Star Fox Adventure in our hands and tank the series once again. No thanks.
.
Go watch a walkthrough of Chorus. That's a design Nintendo could excel at with this franchise while keeping the charm and concept close to the series origins but also moving it forward enough that it can flourish in a bigger scale. It's perfect.
"It’s just not very good."
You wash that filthy mouth!
--It really was something you had to be there for and experience during the early 90's, I understand haha
Nice, next do Kid Icarus. Of course it doesn't need to be brought back as the last game was actually good. But Kid Icarus needs to be on Switch! :)
There is plenty Nintendo can do with starfox. As long as it’s not f@@ked up pleasing the open world MP crowd. Single player experience, amazing levels great set pieces new weapons etc etc.
