The scores on this one have such a range. A perfect example of a game that you just have to try and then decide for yourself, I guess.

Although the old fart in me has a lot of love for the Big N's staple franchises....

I think a lot of people can't get over the controls. They're weird.

wonderfulmonkeyman3334d ago (Edited 3334d ago )

Weird, yes, but effective.
The final boss has a laser attack that would have been impossible to dodge without Target View, and cockpit view allows you to find the entrances in his rotating shield.
There are many similar situations throughout the game, where having controls like these are a great benefit to the player's ability to dodge attacks and retaliate at the same time.
Assuming they've learned the controls well, of course.

Considering Nintendo banks on only a handful of properties, you think they would have taken the YEARS that they promised this game for and made it perfect

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.

Vits1327d 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.

CptDville1326d 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.

SeTTriP1326d ago

Yes couldn't finish it it was so boring.

MissAubrey1326d 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..

Einhander19711326d ago

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

Teflon021376d ago

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

Neonridr1376d ago

or a Star Fox 64 remaster instead.

deadfrag1376d 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!

whitbyfox1376d ago

1: Get rid of the motion controls.

2: Bring us Okami 3.

Good-Smurf1376d ago (Edited 1376d 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.
