E3 2015: Star Fox Zero Targeting 60 Frames Per Second; Has No Online Multiplayer Mode

Nintendo has announced Star Fox Zero will not have an online multiplayer mode.

Speaking to IGN during an interview ahead of its Digital Event, Shigeru Miyamoto explained the team was currently focusing on creating a high-quality single-player experience, and didn't want to be sidetracked.

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?

[iamnsuperman]

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)

[Neonridr]

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

[bouzebbal]

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

[Lightning Mr Bubbles]

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.)

^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.

[Gazondaily]

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

And no MP?

Bah. Lame

[The 10th Rider]

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

[Neonridr]

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.

[Gazondaily]

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

[bouzebbal]

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..

[Gazondaily]

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

A better looking game?

[OtakuDJK1NG-Rory]

"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."

[Doodleburger]

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?

[Neonridr]

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

[Theyellowflash30]

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

[wonderfulmonkeyman]

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

[MetroidFREAK21]

God damn it Nintendo...

[REDDURT]

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

[SmokingMonkey]

Nintendon't do Online.

I miss playing with Power...Nintendo Power!

At least I still have a box of Nintendo Cereal...it's for breakfast WoW....

*cries in the corner*

[Neonridr]

except they showed they could do it with Splatoon, Smash Bros and Mario Kart and they all worked out fine.

[SmokingMonkey]

Good point, why keep it out Starfox?

Remember how much crap the PS3 got for not having a good/on par online service when compared to XBlive!

We can't let up on Nintendo (or any other company) when they do things like this;

I am very upset at the lack of Vita support from Sony. But what can I do except complain and or buy another system?

[gangsta_red]

That is very disappointing to hear.

Starfox is a game where it would have really benefited with an online mode. Space dog fights with friends...it writes itself.

[Captain_Wormy]

Ugh...who the hell approves of these ideas at Nintendo?!

[N4g_null]

Shiggy...

[GranTurismoFan]

Awwww, what a missed opportunity :(

[The_Truth_24_7]

Epic fail.

"Amazing" might be an overstatement

[ShellB]

"/s" sarcasm

[Neonridr]

hard to say when you rip screen shots out of context. I am sure I could find a blurry shot from a PS4 game and say it looks ugly too.

Star Fox has never been photo-realistic. Ever played any of the other games?

[AnimeFreak013]

OK I'm all in for SP being the best it can be. But really it's getting annoying how Nintendo just ditch MP with some of their games for no good reason.Especially Star Fox it just make sense for it to have MP and if not become the Best MP game on wii u. But nope now their's no reason to keep the game after u beat the SP mode.

[ballsohard2013]

no online multiplayer in 2015... On a Space Shooter... Jesus chrizzt. This what we call being tone deaf my friends. Its like lets not give people what they want... we always know better than the consumer lol.

[chaos999]

Lack of MP and looks empty

[jcnba28]

What's with the bad graphics? This isn't the Nintendo I know. This looks like Starfox 64.

[Kalebninja]

They don't care about the wii u anymore, they aren't going to waste time on any more games for it besides Zelda because, they're putting more focus on making NX a success. Why do you think there hasn't been a console Mario game in two years and one not even announced? NX launch title mates. I hated the event but If what I think is true is, then its just a strategy we have to brace through. For all we know next year Nintendo can do as well as sony's conference this year.

[N4g_null]

Seriously kill the they don't care about the wiiu. Starfox hasn't truly been good since the snes. Everything else still rocks. Yet what the hell is retro doing? More power doesn't fix the content they already have.

[Munnkyman]

Really I can't believe that. They are really letting us down

[Munnkyman]

A online like crismsion skies comes to mind when I think online star fox game

[voodoochild346]

People keep focusing on iwata and he needs to go too, but miyamoto needs to retire already. He didn't want to do star fox for years because he "didn't have something new to add to the game". Now he's releasing a star fox game without multi-player be HE doesn't play multi-player. This company is so frustrating!
