FGE - Star Fox 64 (known as Lylat Wars in Europe) was released for the Nintendo 64 all the way back in 1997. That might seem like a long time ago, but I remember it vividly. I was 10 years old, and I would rush home from school eager to assist Fox McCloud and his team as they went toe to toe with the insidious Andross and his cronies. I was blown away by this game, and I got totally lost in the Lylat System. The varied mix of scrolling track combat and arena style dogfights, the wonderfully bizarre bosses, the uncanny beauty of exotic planets, and even the rumble of the controller—Star Fox 64 was the world’s introduction to the N64 Rumble Pak—it all sucked me in and refused to let me go. Fast forward 19 years and we finally have a game that captures the spirit of this vaunted classic, even if it isn’t a direct sequel. Unfortunately, Star Fox Zero—the work of Nintendo and developer PlatinumGames—feels more like a remake of Star Fox 64 than an original title that builds on the N64 classic.
Takaya Imamura, famed ex-Nintendo developer known for his work on the F-Zero and Star Fox franchises, has taken to social media to ponder the possibility of a Star Fox Zero release on Nintendo's upcoming 'Switch 2'.
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.
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.
