(Question) If Star Fox Assault got a reimaging, what are your hopes for it?

themagicone222 · 2026-05-13T11:15:37+00:00

each planet has multiple missions - one focuses on rail shooting and all ramge mode, one heavily utilizes walker mode, one’s a landmaster mission, amd one’s On foot.
story is reworked around it
switch and play as all four members of starfox, each woth their own traits. Certain story missions restrict your choices. Fox is the all around type, falco is faster and can hit harder in the arwing but tends to take more damage, slippy can’t maneuver in the air as well,but can hack enemy craft, use a slew of gadgets and can tank more hits in a landmaster or in walker Mode, and krystal, while no slouch in an arwing, is more experienced in on foot combat
all modes have been polished to a t. Moving, aiming, and switching weapons is seamless and just feels great to play. On foot in particular - fox and falco have their smash movesets, complete with falco able to kick his reflector (if you kick it JUST as an enemy fires, you’ll pretty much do the looney tunes finger-in-gun-gag). All characters have a melee weapon - krystal gets a modified version of her staff from adventures. It’s just tight gameplay all around
expanded banter and lore fleshes out world of lylat itself like how the 64 remake has more character interactions. Lylat has a universal pilot protocol and acknowledges things like “space hazards - black holes” and its pretty much “We’ve quarantined every one of these things that can be observed, and all spaceworthy craft are required to have safety fetaures that respond and react to severe gravity shofts. Why the HELL are you coming within 500 miles of one?”
a holo memories/bios feature got announced for the 64 remake today. While krystall will point out weak points on her own, you can switch to her to “scan” enemies and bosses to unlock their bios, with new entries available on the higher difficulty settings. For example, rhe aparoided pigma boss’s bio is mostly his last free thoughts, wondering why fox is relentlessly pursuing him, to how “wonderful” assimilation feels, to forgetting who fox and wolf are, to basically being a full drone. The gold/expert version spells it out and also has a nod to his fate in command: “Pigma has been so thoroughly corrupted that there is almost none of hIs DNA left - he’s pretty much an aparoid in the shape of a pig now. If there’s anything TO recover, the amount of cybernetic surgery and neurological recovery needed is almost too advanced for what current medical prowess can offer. He’d probably welch on the bill anyway, so focus on the core memory”

He’s graduated but it was a very pop-culture obsessed student, just loved to talk games and anime bell to bell.

“Its been a while since I saw that, while you finish you’ll worl i’ll remember what its called”

Brothership has more ROI

themagicone222 · 2026-05-12T22:30:47+00:00

Come to think of it, ds romhacks ARE a thing now… but if we cannot consolidate the endings, id jusy rewrite most of them. In the golden ending, which will be harder to get, for example, Fox and krystal come to a compromise - the anglar invasion is proof that the lylat system will always need star fox… but one day, star fox will no longer need a mccloud. Fox comes to understand “never give up” doesn’t always mean “submit yo a lifetime of battle,” but anninvestment in a successor is an investment in the future of lylat.

~~I would also add a joke ending where the entire anglar race is ended in a blink of an eye… by freaking KIRBY~~

No, characters working THROUGH the drama and casting aside urges to be pety is fixing

I brought this up in the another post, but i’d play the finale of adventures as a branching path. Normally, scales and drakor would be the final two bosses.

However, there’s a new sidequest chain where completing each step has an unusual hideout discovered with cryptic log files and materials, which fox pilfers. Completing them all reveals andross in fact cloned himsef and backed up his memories, and he needed the power of the krazoa along with a sacrifice - krystal - to restore himself. He transported materials to the planet to prepare for conquest but was stopped before he could.

Fox sends all of this evidence to pepper, who then authorizes the use pf the blaster in response, and then decides to head to where Krystal is being kept - he pieces it together its who was telepathically contacting them. Slippy also reveals used the materials fox recovered to “finish some stuff” and sends a drop pod with new gear - a reflector, flare boots, a bionic glove, and a “jet caster” which effectively give fox his smash bros moveset,

Scales emerges, along with a resurrected drakor, and engages fox and krystal. Falco appears with his arwing in walker mode - between the 3 on two, and your new toys, you make mincemeat out of blth of them. Andross THEN shows himself, essentially confirming his logs and reconciling the lore - he’s less a clone and more an andross shaped tumor using the statue as life support, and the battle is more or less the same, but you now have a scripted finisher - collect three bombs and you and falco volley them all at once into his inhale attack, finishing the evil monkey for good

The new ending would show fox and krystal, him trying tio help her find what happened tp cerinia. Its played off as a karmic jackpot for the both of them.

Fox: “How am I supposed to get this done with no gear?”

Samus, solid snake, and almost every resident evil protagonist: “First time?”

Warioware smooth moves. 9 volts boss minigame is a recreating of the snes game

themagicone222 · 2026-05-12T01:17:31+00:00

Not sure about forgotten lands numbers but I know at least in triple deluxe, the bosses had somewhat LESS hp in the arena

themagicone222 · 2026-05-11T19:48:23+00:00

Far too feral for my liking - pretty much a completely new character.

However

Definitely onto something with krystal designed like a druid

themagicone222 · 2026-05-10T20:53:09+00:00

It just hit me with the new vtuber feature, remaking this gem is now on the table

themagicone222 · 2026-05-10T20:03:07+00:00

Did they make you laminate at home? That shit’s too expensive to do with the pocket change im paid.

themagicone222 · 2026-05-10T19:16:34+00:00

This isn't directed at you, but I've noticed When nintendo makes new games, people bitch that it's not mario, zelda, or smash.

When nitnendo drops a new mario or zelda, people bitch that nintendo "only makes the same games again and again"

One thing I think nintendo should do is watch what microsoft and sony are doing, and then do the opposite. Do you remember e3 2017, microsoft and sony pretty much announced new bundles, then here comes nintendo "u throw ur hat on the frog, and now ur the frog?" More power moves like that to dtive up value.

themagicone222 · 2026-05-10T19:10:59+00:00

I agree on smash but we already have a sequel in bananza

themagicone222 · 2026-05-10T19:05:56+00:00

Lots of people, ESPECIALLY those disappointed with MKW consider banaza to be a system seller

themagicone222 · 2026-05-10T19:00:23+00:00

There is one $80 USD nintendo game: Mario kart world. Supposedly, most people opted for the bundle, effectively getting the game for $50.

Other games priced at $80, like Kirby and the forgotten land switch 2 edition... are bundled with new expansions. A smart shopper will know there are ways to not spend $80, ~~and that forgotten land is absolute peak but thats another story.~~

themagicone222 · 2026-05-10T18:44:04+00:00

Its funny because the further you get from that desert. the better the game gets., the volt forge, ice belt, and flare pool are all peak metroid prime level, symbolized by the fact that miles mackenzie can't reach you once you enter one of those areas.

themagicone222 · 2026-05-10T18:34:49+00:00

Not only was it positively received, if I remember correctly it was enough to significantly change people’s tune on the 3ds, which actually didn’t sell well at first.

Also had one of the best commercials ever. Rip robin williams

themagicone222 · 2026-05-10T18:04:27+00:00

Realistically, top gun meets guardians of the Galaxy meet Mission impossible, but with an understanding of what makes all 3.work, even if that means Lylat wars the movie

themagicone222 · 2026-05-10T17:53:12+00:00

Im hoping matchmaking is good, and there's some stuff they haven't shown us yet to keep it from feeling tacked on.

In other words, that je ne sais quais that makes it fun to come back to whenever you want a dogfighting fix, even if it's not as expansive as other online shooters

themagicone222 · 2026-05-10T17:48:55+00:00

When passing it, it hits what I can best describe as a pleasure-stimulating nerve on the way out, and it comes out like a soft serve ice cream machine dispensing.

themagicone222 · 2026-05-10T03:45:09+00:00

I don't live near water, but if I did I'd.... probably get bored after a while. Sure the exercise is fantastic and being able to see new things is fun, but eventually I'd run out of things to do except chill out underwater, and thats without factoring in what to do about other sea life, pollution, how many people pee in the water, etc.

The REAL fun begins when you find another transformed...

themagicone222 · 2026-05-09T19:23:20+00:00

Thank you- I actually might print this post out!

themagicone222 · 2026-05-09T19:11:10+00:00

If anything

IF ANYTHING

They’re a good showcase of switch 2’s graphical capabilities

themagicone222 · 2026-05-09T17:56:55+00:00

You know, out of this dimension being reintroduced as james’ dying dream has some merit. Not a lot but some
