![]() ![]() Star Fox was, you know, an IP that Nintendo has had way before we entered the picture. Speaking to GameXplain during an interview, Atsushi Inaba of PlatinumGames stated they had no idea if this would happen, confirming: To be honest we wouldn't have the slightest clue, Star Fox Zero was a bit of a special case for us. PlatinumGames Doesn't Know If Star Fox Zero Will Be Ported To Switch - Considering the Switch has seen many ports of first-party Wii U games, speculation has often arisen to whether 2016's Star Fox Zero could get the same treatment. The reason? They were trying to uncover employees that were leaking information. Split routes, harder bosses and bigger courses would be incredible and something that could set the game apart from previous Star Fox games.Star Fox Grand Prix May Have Been A Fake Leak - According to ValveNewsNetwork, new information emerged revealing that Star Fox Grand Prix was a fake leak by Nintendo of America. Imagine four pilots going through classic Star Fox stages, with CPUs filling in the blanks. Fun, but of course the main appeal of Star Fox are the space missions! Star Fox Switch would definitely need a co-op mode, at least for 2 pilots but 4 would be incredible. Multiplayer has always been a secondary thought in the Star Fox series, you had classic dog fights in Star Fox 64 and on-foot shootout sessions on the GameCube’s Star Fox Assault. Anyone for a Little Star Fox Switch Multiplayer? Imagine playing as Slippy or Falco, with perhaps more tank-based levels for Slippy and land exploration for Falco? Fox is a great pilot to lead the pack but exploring stories with the other three crew members could really flesh out a classic Star Fox experience. More recently Krystal has joined the Star Fox crew, too! what could make a new game stand out is by fleshing out their stories – branching paths and unique routes within worlds for each of the characters! The wise old, all-knowing guru in Peppy and clumsy, yet lovable, Slippy “always getting hit” Toad. The sharp-shooter, grumpy rival architype in Falco. You’ve got your confident, cheeky hero type Fox. The four members of the Star Fox crew are so distinctive. One of the things Nintendo could expand a Switch Star Fox with, beyond stripping it back to basics, is looking at the characters. The Nintendo 64 version, and in some ways the design of the Wii U game, defined that Star Fox mould. Beefy bosses to combat, full of cheesy one-liners and glowing hitboxes. Tight, on-rails gameplay that demands perfectly handling. Epic space worlds and planets, full of baddies to shoot down. It’s about time Nintendo strip it back to basics, focusing what makes Star Fox so appealing. But Nintendo felt they needed to throw in a gimmick to sell the game – something that was ultimately the game’s downfall. Crazy set-pieces full of laser hungry baddies, beefy bosses, and a variety in the level designs? Perfect. A leap back to the core Star Fox arcade shooter gameplay that many of us grew up with on the N64. The game visually and story looked stunning, however. Whilst not so kind to your neck, it felt like driving a car, through a volcano. Most recently a painful idea on the Wii U that had you trying to pilot a ship using the GamePad in combination with your TV. Nintendo have tried all sorts of ideas with Star Fox since the Nintendo 64 version. Back to basics, new worlds to explore and a great story. But it doesn’t mean a sequel has to be completely fresh and packed full of weird innovation. Sure, Nintendo are gaming pioneers, having crafted innovative controllers to unique gameplay and more. It got me thinking: Why does Nintendo need to come up with a revolutionary idea in order to make a new game?ĭoes a New Star Fox Switch Need to be Revolutionary? I recently saw a quote from Nintendo’s Takaya Imamura, talking about F-Zero, where he said, “without a grand new idea, it’s hard to bring it back.” And then you have the neglected offspring that aren’t as talked about: Star Fox, Metroid, F-Zero.įans always ask for new games in the series, and often it takes years to get even a single Tweet about these lost gems. With Nintendo, you have their favourite children – the Mario, the Zelda, the Pokemon. Isn’t it about time we get a new Star Fox Switch? After many different Star Fox (Lylat Wars) adventures, we need a classic return to the arcade space-shooter roots! A New Star Fox Switch: Nintendo’s Lost Franchises ![]()
