To the people looking forward to the launch of the game this holiday season, I am very sorry.
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.
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.
Those controls. Boring and frustrating at the same time. Only with co-op they were bearable, but co-op was restricted to finished levels.
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..
No it was great, just the control scheme spoilt things really. The wii u screen was not needed for it really
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
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!
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.
WGTC: "Nintendo hasn’t always given Starfox the most love among its tentpole franchises, but the series has still cultivated a loyal cult fanbase over its almost 30-year history. Here are all of the games in the mainline series ranked from worst to best."
Well, they listed Star Fox Zero as the worst one, so that list is at least believable.
I feel like if you're judging the original Star Fox by it's era then I feel you should do the same with Star Fox 2 IMO. Since they are both effectively SNEA games
It's hard to top the N64 version (well maybe the 3DS version, but that should have used uncompressed audio. Without that it's a step down from what it could have been IMO)
I am fine with it. I am hoping with this delay, the textures will be improved at least. Yes it would be nice to see this release for the holiday, but if it needs work, it needs work.
I have X to pick up and I know that is going to be a major time sucker.
Plus I have games I still have barely played yet, let alone beat.
*The woes of being a Nintendo console fan right now. (handheld is fine though)
Before you start, yes I'm one of them, I own a WiiU and I'm not happy about the situation.
Looks around... the only people really complaining are the people without the system. They really want this thing to die, price drop or get the nx because it supposed to be so much more powerful.
Delays are always disappointing, but from all the negative press at the reveal, this was no doubt warranted. I've always been lucky enough to game on all systems (Game consoles to PC) and being a Wii U owner, I of course hated to hear that first no Zelda this year and now Star Fox has been delayed. Luckily between all three systems and the PC, there are a dizzying amount of titles to choose from.
2016 looks to be the swan song for the Wii U and at least it will go out with a bang its last year before the NX launches. I guess we could see enhanced versions of both these games on the new platform if it does indeed release next year (depending on what gamepads the new system uses/supports).
