The next Star Fox game...... [RD]

I have been a Star Fox fan for a LONG time and I feel that Nintendo hasn't given the series justice.... For years I have had an idea about what the next Star Fox game should be. This game is intended to be a prequel and a retelling of the Star Fox for the SNES and Star Fox 64 as well as a reboot for the series. There are many loose ends and recent games have taken a turn in the wrong direction story and game play wise (ie: star fox assault and command). This game is to expand on the great game play presented by the original star fox and star fox 64, meaning there will be NO Krystal or Panther characters, really those that come later in the series. Among notable features presented in this “rough draft” are those of 4 player online co-op, a very extensive online multiplayer and leaderboards. The game will be rich in story and will have quite a few cut scenes to tell the story. Oh, and Slippy would actually be "cool" as in, he would resemble more of a Battletoad like amphibian instead of...well.... you know.....

Gameplay will have arwings, blue marines and landmasters. Almost always, one person will be in something other than an arwing. (like 3 arwings and a landmaster) this will be essential to the gameplay! They way it is played is that each member will have a specific “task” to perform so that the team can progress! So in "story mode" first player is fox, this person signs on to Nintendo WFC right away at the opening screen, then they start to play story mode, at any time, up to 3 people can join during story mode, slippy, peppy, falco. Hard part now: when everyone plays, they see their own screen, and generally not the other characters too much. Like, think of a square. This square represents fox's screen or example playing regular starfox 64.... Ok? Then when other people come on, one "square" turns into 2, or if there are 4 people, then 4 "squares" now form together to form a giant "field" of one giant square, but don’t confuse this with split screen. THERE WILL BE NO SPLIT SCREEN. Here's the cool part. Scenario: one enemy base has a giant shild. To destroy the shield slippy or someone has to be in aquas to destroy a remote generator as well as falco who is in sector z perhaps to destroy the shield's satellite. HERE IS THE KICKER! for peppy and fox to destroy the shield, they have to activate a type of switch to let player 4 (slippy) who is underwater, to access the generator. In which falco (player 2) has only a minute to destroy the satellite in order to destroy enemy signal. In which fox and peppy HAVE to destroy the now unshielded weapon, or it destroys the great fox. And this is all happening in REAL time.... Communicating with a headset.... You can't see the other players do this, just have faith and communicate... And if one fails their task, all is lost...

I have already thought of one level that you enter some kind of out-of-dimensional space and everyone’s screen goes funky. All four people playing in co-op will see the screen fade in and out and then out of no where, Fox’s mind is in Peppy’s body and Falco’s body is controlled by Slippy and so forth. And in REAL time, you have to stay alert and watch for this “twilight zone”  kind of affect where you play someone else’s player for a little while, then revert back. If you finish it successfully, it does a video sequence to where everyone was confused and didn’t know who they really were, but then Slippy pipes up and claims that he knew who’s body he was controlling because falco “doesn’t have much going on in his head anyway”. (ha ha cue laugh.) and if you don’t finish the level right, 2 of the team members will stay stuck in eachother’s bodies and have to find someone that can fix that problem.  If there is only one player playing single player mode, then the characters would be computer controlled and do there part if you yes, somehow save them.

There will be online leaderboards to show how many kills each team mate got and there will be online team rankings. A Vast online multiplayer would be important too, Capture the flag, Perks, etc....

So many good ideas and Miyamoto not to be found to give him these……….this game would be sick……

Let me know what you all think!!
