TCPeppyTc Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 What are the chances of a new SF game at this point? I imagine not very good at all? maybe one in 50? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scourge Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Starfox is popular over here in 'merica. Even if its just furries n shit, but its still popular I imagine a brand new game would help sales of the Wii U... if they were making one 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unoservix Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 7 googolplexplex to one. you are more likely to be killed by a terrorist using an airplane that shoots lightning and anthrax during a complete solar eclipse while every planet of the solar system is perfectly aligned on the night of the solstice as the Chicago Cubs win the World Series than you are to see a new Star Fox game. kablam. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vulvokunvrii Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 I highly doubt SF will come back, but if they do I bet it won't be so bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeverGiveUpFox555 Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 I bet Nintendo is over there right now trying to figure it out. I mean look at what Nintendo has. Tons upon tons of other franchises. They are working on a ton of crap. So just give it time. If not on the Wii U, then the next one. I mean Star Fox will always be awesome. Nintendo knows this and I bet they're trying there best. I have hope!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snys93 Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Sadly I think the only way there can be another Starfox game is if Nintendo goes under and the rights to the franchise get sold to another company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last few games in the series weren't even top sellers among the established install base for their systems.Star Fox 64 may have been, but it is hard to tell. Mario Kart 64 was also released in that time frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russiandog38 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 I don't share your belief that Star Fox is a system seller. The last few games in the series weren't even top sellers among the established install base for their systems. While that may be true, there are still quite a few people out there (myself included) who would buy a Wii U simply for a New Starfox game. So even if it isnt a best seller, it would still benefit console sales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if its just furries n shit, but its still popular I imagine a brand new game would help sales of the Wii U... if they were making one Only %20 of the Nintendo community and %1 of the gaming community at my school has played or even heard of Starfox. Its not as popular as you think is. I think because the title hasnt been given good attention in the last few years, we're not going to see anything at least until the IP goes for sale. We're at the point in time where Nintendo may go the way of the Sega. They release one last great system before dying out after a legacy. However, I will admit that their handheld market is very successful to this date and still a valid money maker. Its their console that's been failing due to lackluster third party support. I mean, I switched to PC gaming because the Wii didn't have the titles I was looking for like Mass Effect and such. If the Starfox IP does go for sale, Im putting my money on Sony. Sly Cooper, Rachet and Clank, Crash, Spyro, adding Starfox to the mix could make a whole genre of its own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hope(N Forever) Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 I think because the title hasnt been given good attention in the last few years, we're not going to see anything at least until the IP goes for sale. We're at the point in time where Nintendo may go the way of the Sega. They release one last great system before dying out after a legacy. The "way of the Sega" only ever happened with Sega. If you knew and understood Sega's history well enough, you would understand why what happened with Sega happened. (Hope that made sense...) Anyway, not sure what you mean when an IP goes for sale. Sega didn't sell any of its IPs, and only stopped making consoles, that is all. IPs usually only go on sale when their original owners disappear completely, like what happened to former major publisher THQ recently. Their IPs now belong to various other publishers, and so far I seen very little of them getting new games outside those that were planning to come when the company announced bankruptcy. Which brings me to another point: Even if the Wii U fails a miserable fail, it won't really destroy Nintendo at all, not by a long shot. Unlike most major publishers, Nintendo are very financially stable and have a huge cash reserve in the bank, and they can take enough losses to last them literally for the next two decades, and I'm pretty sure they're not exactly planning to actually practise that either. Additionally, the Wii U cannot be brushed off as a fail quite yet either. If you actually go back to when the GameCube was still prime, you'll see the situation isn't really that much different in terms of monthly sales. The Nintendo GameCube was more powerful than the PlayStation 2, A LOT of third-parties were actually porting their games to the system, and we even had TWO Star Fox games in the same generation as well, for crying out loud! Despite that, the console only managed to sell 20 million units worldwide during its entire life-time (even worse off than the Nintendo 64 before it did), and the freakin' PlayStation 2 continued to sell and sell and sell, even long after its prime! I mean, seriously, Sony JUST stopped manufacturing the console just last year! Anyway, despite how much the GameCube fared, Nintendo are still standing strong, releasing the Wii and making history (again) with really strong sales this time around, albeit its twilight years may not be as legendary, but that's another story. Star Fox may be one of Nintendo's bigger IPs, but it is definitely not as big as Mario, The Legend of Zelda, Metroid, or Pokémon. If the Wii U were to have a chance, it may be with the games based on those IPs which most people would flock to. If Nintendo wants to prioritise, they may not necessarily count on Star Fox for the time being, and that should be understandable from a business point of view. Then again, Nintendo has been hinting and teasing a lot during certain conferences - you can never know what they're really cooking behind closed doors, and even smelling the recipe tend to be futile. For the time being, I'm really looking forward to see how well the Wii U will do once games like Mario Kart 8 and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, in which the latter is a Star Fox-related game, would be released into the wild. If the Starfox IP does go for sale, Im putting my money on Sony. Sly Cooper, Rachet and Clank, Crash, Spyro, adding Starfox to the mix could make a whole genre of its own. Just wanted to point out that Sony owns neither Crash Bandicoot nor Spyro IPs. At least, not anymore. Additionally, it seems the Skylanders series, which Spyro is a part of, are better sellers on Nintendo's consoles. I even highly doubt Activision are planning on making a stand-alone Spyro game ever again. Also, Star Fox is not the kind of series that fits with Sony's own style in IPs. Not sure where this kind of logic comes from. If it has anything to do with the fact that the series is "furry" like those other IPs, then that is just silly. Besides, Nintendo owns other "furry" IPs anyway, such as Donkey Kong and Pokémon. The Mario series itself is somewhat considered "furry" as well!

Jeroscope Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 In my opinion, we will never know until it happens. The most we can do is sit back and wait at this point. Oh, and to be specific, the company Naughty Dog had the IPs for Crash and Spyro. They can make another Crash game at any time, but the last couple werent so good. The problem is with making a new spyro title. As you can see, for some messed up reason, one company as the Spyro character (the guys who made Skylanders) while Naughty Dog still has the Spyro title copyright. Its a very complicated situation.

Jeroscope Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Im not sure I'd say that, especially since Metroid has had a higher number of releases as well as more frequent releases. Here's a comparison... Metroid (NES) Metroid II (Gameboy) Super Metroid (III) (SNES) Star Fox (SNES) Star Fox II (UNRELEASED - SNES) Galactic Pinball (Virtual Boy) Unknown Title (UNRELEASED - Virtual Boy) Metroid Fusion (Gameboy Advance) Metroid Prime (Game Cube) Star Fox Adventures (Game Cube) Metroid Prime II (Game Cube) Star Fox Assault (Game Cube) Metroid: Zero Mission (Gameboy Advance) Star Fox Arcade (UNRELEASED - Game Cube) Metroid Prime Pinball (DS) Star Fox Command (DS) Metroid Prime Hunters (DS) Metroid Prime III (Wii) Metroid Prime Trilogy (Wii) Metroid Other M (Wii) But I digress...

Jeroscope Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 http://vgsales.wikia.com/wiki/Best_selling_Nintendo_games Check the franchises section. Metroid has 16 million over Starfox's 12 million. That's a %25 difference. Granted, it may not be the same because of the number of titles, but again, I digress. If we want to see a new Star Fox game we need to make it better known, meaning start some sort of twitter hashtag or other social media method and share it more frequently/openly than before. If there is some sort of push for a new Star Fox game, I haven't been made aware of it, and I'm a subscriber to most sites like gamespot, IGN, Polaris, and others. Saying stuff on this site alone isn't enough to do the job. We've got the tools and it only takes five minutes to do this. I'd say do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeroscope Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 It's also how Star Trek is still alive. We all know that JonTron loves Star Fox and says that it needs a proper sequel. If we make a hashtag that he'll share with everyone and we'll have a deal maker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DZComposer Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 There hasn't been an organized push for Star Fox, but the general sentiment that one is wanted is out there. I am constantly seeing people wanting one on other Nintendo communities.That said, I really think you overestimate the power of fan movements. Nintendo is a stubborn company that does what it wants regardless of what people say. Sure, there are a couple of isolated incidents where it appears fan movements may have spurred a decision, such as Project Rainfall, but they aren't many and I don't remember one leading to Nintendo actually making a game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeroscope Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 If we do become organized, it will be better recognized, buts thats asking a lot from people. As a Platoon Leader from Planetside, I can say that keeping the momentum going and keeping the numbers organized is the hardest part. Its possible, but the question is what is it worth?

Scourge Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Because it apparently didn't sink in when DZ said it, allow me to try a re-phrasing: Organize as much as you want, Nintendo is still bigger. They're still quite stubborn, and the biggest push we can offer would still likely not do much to steer them in any direction. Now, in regard to Starfox not being a system seller: If Starfox were to be given a fully-supported release (lots of advertising, programs for community involvement, and were to find a way to bring back the old audience of SF, as well as draw in a newer crowd), I'm certain it could actually help WiiU sales. The only problem is convincing Nintendo of it, as it is actually a corporation with shareholders and whatnot. Sinking that much money on a smaller title rather than something that's guaranteed to sell, would be hard to justify to people who look at charts to determine what gets funded. That, I believe, is Starfox's major hurdle. It, unlike Mario, is not a guaranteed profit right now, its past sales were pretty poor post-starfox64 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeroscope Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 That was my point in saying "what is it worth?" And now that Im actually at my desktop instead of my phone, I can actually edit this post. Nintendo needs to focus directly on Star Fox as it did with the SNES and 64 titles. Because they are currently handling other titles, they dont have the time to develop other ones as quickly or even start for that matter. I honestly wish they would stop being so cryptic about if and when titles will be released. If they want to create hype and get people in gear to buy stuff, they should announce titles earlier. Slip in little sneaks. But then again, they advertised for Star Fox Arcade and that never even started development. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
