geoprimedonna Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 2018. The year an underestimated shooter completes 20 years of literally "all the feels": in the beginning, it was joy, hype, and amazement. Later on, it became confusion. Most recently, it has been anger and deception. Many people grew up with the series (I once read a comment on a YouTube video where a guy tells that he first had contact with the series when he was 4!), and others came along as time passed by (SFX64.com, ArwingLanding, and now SF-O). Despite everything, we really hope that 2018 will be a comeback year for us, and with the Switch coming up, our expectations are sky high. However, I really want more than simply another sloppy game, or "honorable mention", I actually want the "Pokémon treatment" for Starfox. I want to see more merchandise next year. As stated previously, I want more than a game. I want to finally see a licensed Fox McCloud and Krystal costume for Halloween and Comic Cons, more World of Nintendo stuff for Starfox (if possible, some type of Anniversary Edition), perhaps a Fox and Krystal plush at Build-a-Bear or something of the sort (hey, we saw it with Pikachu and Sonic!), some celebrations and promotions at game stores, and may the list of merchandise be endless. I also wanted an ad showing our so-called "all-the-feels" history: a kid from the series' genesis, then, playing 64 at a gaming event, in the early teens playing Adventures with his friends, playing Command against his "Krystal", and afterwards proposing to her, and, years later, rediscovering the series with his son. I want something that could show what happens beyond the console, that, internally, we are all "Foxes", "Falcos", "Krystals", among other of the amazing characters in the game. 2017 is Krystal's year, and still nothing. They'd better surprise us in 2018 if their choice will be to stay silent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shmibli7 Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Uhm... Okay. While this is the utopia that every StarFox fan desires, it is incredibly idealistic. Let's be honest. In all actuality, the treatment you've described will never happen. I want it to happen... I really want it to happen, but I know that it will never come, especially with the direction Nintendo has decided to take the series... Which is straight through the earth into the deepest level of hell. To be honest, I would settle for a deeper, more cinematic version of Assault with a few new characters.

unoservix Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 i'm really looking forward to E3, when Nintendo announces that they're pouring all their money into the all-new The Legend of Tingle: The Glockenspiel of Destiny 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Monroe Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 World of Nintendo figures are a slow burn but damn would I love to see Star Wolf to go with Star Fox. Anyway, Starfox is and always will be a low key franchise. Nintendo didn't do shit for Metroid's 25th, Starfox probably won't do any better.

General_Macbeth Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Too bad that they focusing more on Mario & Zelda rather than StarFox & Metroid... (even though i´m not that much of a Metroid fan but whatever) StarFox would be a good Franchise if selled properly, the characters are all adorable & shooters are never outdated if done well. But sadly Nintendo is in some cases not very friendly to Fan-based work as seen with the Pokemon Games so that frighten the Fans if they should do anything Fan-base related or not... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Monroe Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Starfox is a niche franchise is all. Being Nintendo exclusive and without broad appeal does that, though SF64 did sell fantastically well. It can never be expected to outshine the likes of Mario, Zelda, Kirby, or Pokemon. It doesn't help that Star Fox is significantly more popular in North America than in Japan. Just look at these sales figures: http://www.vgchartz.com/gamedb/?name=star+fox NA accounted for almost 3/4 of SF64's sales, 1/2 of SF1's sales, 1/2 of SFAd's sales, 2/3 of Assault's sales, 4/5's of Command's, and 1/2 of Zero's.

Well the remake didnt sold well too as i see. Guess the Fans got more intelligent & either expected more from it or found out that its just another ripoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Monroe Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 643D sold almost a million copies globally, that's respectable, but yes, it being a straight remake of 64 with little added probably didn't incentivize buyers much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shmibli7 Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 You know... What if another company just made a game similar to StarFox? Now, don't shoot me down for being ignorant of games involving worlds (or, in this case, galaxies) of anthropomorphic animals. I know very well that a plethora of such titles exist. What I'm trying to say is, what if a company, such as Sony, made their own space furry game, just with a deeper story and a different gameplay mechanic? I'd buy that in a heartbeat.

unoservix Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 yeah, but then everyone would say "oh that's just a Star Fox ripoff," and, well, they'd be right, because that's pretty much what you're proposing that and if you make it too similar, Nintendo will almost certainly sue on the other hand, if all you want is "a space furry game" with major changes to the gameplay mechanics and story, well, that stops having anything to do with Star Fox. like, you could make a match-three mobile game that has space furry characters, but no one is going to say "oh this is like Star Fox" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was honestly thinking of making an indie for the Switch... Well, we're currently in a period of high hopes with the Switch, and my hope is that with all the hype, a Starfox game announcement would revive our dead hopes after all that happened last year. But, then again, it's high hopes, so it can all be just a utopia produced by the excess of hype (and it usually is, as proved by the Wii U era), and if they whip up another piece of garbage, we're probablygoing to be seeing the Switch as a Dreamcast rather than a Wii, and that would already be a rocky start. I don't think Nintendo is naive enough to risk launching another game that is more of Miyamoto's wishes than of what fans actually want, but who am I to know what's going to happen next? My guess is as good as anybody else's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General_Macbeth Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Aside from just games, Nintendo should in my opinion be more opened with its Franchises, doing Anime´s & such. To keep the interest of the Fans high, instead of just depending on Games & the Mangas (Zelda only as far as i know) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Monroe Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 I honestly am surprised noone has done a Starfox-inspired sort of game. There's plenty of Metroidvanias and Zelda clones and the like out there, you'd think someone would've made their own space animal action game on Steam already. Hell, Starfox isn't even the first space animal THING (Duck Dodgers, Bucky O'Hare, etc). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, we need more space animals... And we need them now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MKGirlism Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Well, there has been a little clip during the last Nintendo Direct, where Joy Cons were tested to feel boobs, so pretty much expect worse stuff to come. （＾ｐ＾） Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
