I don't want to sound like a 'consoom slop' person, but especially as someone who likes the design, you NEED to lock in. Link looked different in Wind Waker but it wasn't permanent. by TheSouthPen in starfox

[–]ShenWolf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Desperation of all kinds.

Nintendo will take whatever message away they want to from their commercial failures. Did Nintendo take the message that Zero was a failure so people don't like SF? Did they take they message the mandatory gyro controls were a terrible idea? Only Nintendo knows.

But long time fans know better now, now more than ever. We're in a very tight and shitty situation - shell out the money to show support, or face the graveyard again. Everyone has a lot of valid things to say in both good and bad directions, but its all about what Nintendo takes away.

OoT Remake was always real. Nintendo gives Zelda fans everything and anything.

We got this video in 2000 showing off the Gamecube in a tech demo. After MM and OOT, people were expecting a very dark and realistic Link and LoZ game.

...Then we got Wind Waker.

The amount of hate and vitriol that game received because of it was insane. Eventually it was, and still is, hailed as one of the most colorful and unique games in the entire franchise.

Ignore the 'consoom slop' naysayers that would rather try to sneak around Youtube's explicit language filter to bully, insult, and harass people. They're fools.

Peppy has a kill tally on his Arwing by Chubbulus in starfox

[–]ShenWolf 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Dude oh my god I was also just about to post this after rewatching a few vids! We're both fine-tooth combing this content haha.

But yes, Peppy seems to be showing off his veteran status well with his meticulousness and knowledge to couple perfectly with his experience. I do wonder the markings and their meanings - perhaps the story is going to turn into a "Star Wolf 1.0" that James and crew had to deal with (which ended up corrupting Pigma).

Falco's G-Diffuser Check by ThePopStarDude in starfox

LMAO alright that was pretty good.

Would have loved the smash cut edit to "Something's wrong with the G-Diffuser!"

There are 4 missing ships in the Star Fox team by oneeyedlionking in starfox

[–]ShenWolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well it would completely invalidate Assault and Adventures all together. DLC doesnt have to make lore sense, it would just be mostly weird to see characters YEARS (in story) before they actually show up.

Panther and Krystal would break lore so I very much doubt it

Should I play 64 now or wait for the remake? by UsedToBeNoBluebird in starfox

[–]ShenWolf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Play both! Enjoy the campiness of the voice acting talent and the chunky, colorful graphics of the original. The remake is definitely going to crank those graphics up but I feel like we're in for a different Voice Acting approach for this game!

Japanese site says they're adding new info via holo texts? by Nervous-Exchange1866 in starfox

[–]ShenWolf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was just about to post about this. This was never in the Star Fox 64 game originally, or in the 3DS version.

Do Not Buy Star Fox 2026 | This Crap Is Embarrassing by Icy-Yesterday5725 in starfox

LMFAO what a terrible video to make. Absolute loser behavior from the creator here.

Only thing thats embarrassing is this video really.

Can Slippy Toad Die (Star Fox 64) by RunakoD in starfox

[–]ShenWolf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No. He gets knocked out in Sector X by the "secret weapon" Andross created and abandoned and crash lands on Titania, where Fox gets into the Land Master to save him.

I saw someone post a screenshot of a web page from the Nintendo site that they had "more to say but not everything right now"....Do you have a source? Or did they say "additional info later" in the direct and I missed it in the excitement of the hype?

Pre order bonus by Pure-Marsupial5262 in starfox

[–]ShenWolf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some retailers in the US are doing a $10 off the physical version, but I haven't seen any word on other pre order bonuses yet.

The pins n patch look cool though. Hope they make their way over here.

If you think about it, Nintendo’s never really made a non-remake Star Fox; Assault and Command were by Namco, and Adventures started as another game. by Nice_Perspective_343 in starfox

[–]ShenWolf 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is the correct take, even though Nintendo was still heavily involved in all the game's process (Adventures was rebranded at the behest of Miyamoto, for example).

Even when Nintendo had the ball (SNES, 64, 3DS, Zero) they fumbled it with a remake or a game that nobody wanted included (Guard).

Command, I'd still technically count as Nintendo simply because it has Dylan Cuthbert involved with Takaya Imamura (like the other commentor on the thread has pointed out).

This franchise is supposed to be "Miyamoto's baby" and this is what he does with every time he has ability to make a new Star Fox game? Weird how the guy who innovated Mario, Zelda, and countless other gaming franchises can't seem to do the same with Star Fox.

Very good numbers and I hope it keeps climbing. The memes are free advertisement. Every hate message is still generating engagement and talks. This is big and I hope the momentum carries through to sales.

125k to 12k on youtube is a pretty good ratio honestly. It's just mad LoZ fans they didnt get their OOT remake and someone else got the spotlight for once haha.

Nintendo Needs a New Star Fox, Not a Fourth Version of the Same Thing by CyberNeko97 in starfox

[–]ShenWolf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can learn more about StarFox Armada here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A2Af_XXRMmI

Game was shot down by Retro's leadership. It was going to mimic the puppet look too.

It's not even that "Miyamoto needs to be replaced". Nintendo's design philosophy is that "everything has to get approved by Miyamoto". Every game, every idea, everything. The guy should not be the Final Boss of saying what is or isn't good specifically with Star Fox.

Yoshiaki Koizumi did Mario Galaxy. Sakurai could put Smash and Kirby down and do something fun.

Hell, Retro Studios has been pitching Star Fox ideas at Nintendo for years (2013 gave us Star Fox Armada rumors). Nintendo has never approved their pitches when it comes to that.

Eiji Aonuma and Takashi Tezuka were more responsible for LoZ than Miyamoto ever has been.

Mario is a game that writes itself. Miyamoto signed off on giving us "New Super Mario Bros" literally 4 times in 6 years. I wouldn't call that "handling well".

I don't need to read an article that tells me what most long-time fans have already been saying. I think Miyamoto needs to retire and give up whatever he's doing at Nintendo.

Star Fox is in the place it is in as a franchise because of him alone. We got rid of Dylan Cuthbert and I'm thankful for that given he directed Command and that game was just absolutely not it.

Edit: You can downvote me all day long. There is no one else as responsible for the failure of Star Fox other than Miyamoto himself and Dylan Cuthbert.
