They can but they won't. There is nothing stopping them from farming out the IP to a more capable studio like Namco, but because Miyamoto and the Wii U controller failed so miserably, they are going to blame the IP and punish it consequently just like they did with Other M failed. Nintendo will blame literally anyone before their blame their own management. Miyamoto will even throw Platinum Games under the bus if he has to.

That's what happened to Megaman

MHX and PoweredUp were great, but since they didn't "sell enough" Capcom thought it wasn't worth it to continue their series, and now instead of getting new games, we get new ways to play the same games, again.

Sakamoto just didn't want to make Metroid anymore and he's probably better off. Rhythm Heaven, Tomodachi Life, Wario Ware. All great. Sakamoto's strength obviously isn't in making Metroid, but those weird games.

I'm sure he realizes he fucked up. Also, he's said on multiple occurrences he'd like Retro to make more Prime games, TOO BAD THEY DON'T WANT TO.

Nah, fuck that. Ever since 64/Smash Fox has been shown to be just as capable as an out-of-cockpit soldier as he is a pilot. Assault's problem was that the on-foot controls were kind of garbage and the missions were longer than the on-rails ones, but there's no good reason why Nintendo should throw he baby out with the bathwater and never touch that kind of gameplay again.

It's because the 80's space craze had long since waned and humanoid cartoon animals were oversaturated. It would have been a poor man's Bucky o'Hare.

>On-rails Star Fox is dead

See, that's just not true. The on-rails parts were pretty much the ONLY good thing about Zero (save for the Star Wolf battles, in my opinion, despite the shitty lock-on function and no radar). They were only hindered by being too short, and the on-screen reticle not being accurate.

Most reviews seem to say the same thing, that the on-rails sections were good, but they tried to focus too much on all range mode and shitty alt vehicles.

If we could have a Star Fox that had only on-rails levels, with the intensity of Sector Omega, I'd die happy. Hell, they could probably make wicked on-rails Star Wolf battles too.

Don't know if it can be saved at this point. Miyamoto seems not to want to appeal to people who liked the series with 64, but instead wants to appeal to children and soccer moms. In my opinion, if they want the original fanbase back, they need to take another crack at the Assault formula.

They need to:

>Come up with solid on-foot gameplay. Perhaps something with plenty of different weapon options and gameplay that is a mix of Mass Effect 3 and Earth Defense Force
>Rework the Landmaster into an extremely powerful if somewhat clunky vehicle for combat and exploration, maybe like a Halo vehicle
>More on-rails Arwing portions than ground, with gameplay more or less just lifted from 64. There is no need for Miyamoto to constantly be "innovating" when what everyone wants is more 64 gameplay and less Gyrowing motherfuckery.
>Tell a new story. No one wants yet another rehash of the Lylat Wars.Take Assault's tone but perhaps take it less seriously
>No furry, Online Multiplayer with character customization.
>>
Why is Krystal so cute?
>>
>>340356158
>Make Falco, who is canonically a better Pilot than Fox, handle on foot missions

Nigger there's a reason Fox pilots the Landmaster most of the time and not Falco

Because Falco prefers the air

>>340354847

>>
Zero's problem was that it was a huge retread of 64 with worse bosses, level design and no fucking routes. That said the aiming with the gamepad worked well when you weren't constantly flying around a boss or Wolf in circles. All it needed was more levels and more varied bosses, plus a hidden Venom route.

Also an Aquas stage.

-No control gimmicks
-Don't rehash 64's plot
-Expand the universe but don't do it in a way that alienates the fans
-Keep things fast paced
-Add dog fight multiplayer with online and local
-Make shit like Gyrowing optional or just flat out remove it
-I'm not asking for a Latino Soap Opera I'm asking for a fun narrative involving animals in space
-Co Pilots have to be useful. You have to give a fuck about saving them and they have to look competent.
-Good marketing, if there is competitive multiplayer, focus on that.

The anime was a mistake.

It made the game look a lot more interesting than it actually was. It's pretty much completely divorced from the game itself and nothing in the game actually lives up to the promise of an exciting sci-fi world with an entertaining narrative like what we saw in that video. The game itself is a dreadfully bland retread of Star Fox 64 and has no surprises at all.

The fandom was divided but it was not beyond salvage. Just make a game like Star Fox Assault with more polish and a larger ratio of scripted flying missions over ground battles. The holdouts who only want Star Fox 64 part 2 would be satisfied as long as there was a good amount of flying missions and they played well, and the Assault fans would have been happy as long as they got more of the multiplayer from Assault where you can jump in and out of vehicles and have some on-foot combat, and the story continues.

A compromise between those two factions would not have been nearly as difficult as some people make it out to be. At the end of the day, everyone just wanted a good Star Fox game that pushed the series forward without losing its identity in the process.

Star Fox Zero doesn't know what it is. Not even Miyamoto knows what it is. He himself said he doesn't know wether it's a remake or a sequel-- narrative-wise it's obviously a remake of 64, but gameplay wise it's some cobbled mess of garbage that should never have seen the light of day. Literally no-one was asking for another remake of Star Fox, and no-one was asking for bullshit like the motion controls, gyro wing or the hacker bot.

By following the path SF Zero started, the right formula is there, they just have to fix some issues like multiple control schemes, more content and a proper follow up to 64's plot.
This way, they'll avoid to fall in the Command and Adventures trap once again.

I can understand why 64fags would be unhappy with Zero since it was like an ironic inversion of the game they imagined in their heads-- they wanted a game that played like Star Fox 64 but had a new story, locations, etc., but since all Miyamoto heard was "make it like Star Fox 64," he just remade Star Fox 64, and then butchered the gameplay while leaving the story exactly the way it was, and having fewer planets.

At this point I think we can safely say that if there's ever another Star Fox game, the 64fags will not be the ones controlling the conversation. They wouldn't shut up about wanting "Star Fox 64.5," and now look where that's ended us up. Even if Miyamoto was the one ultimately responsible for why Zero is bad, this franchise can't afford a repeat of it.

There probably will never be another Star Fox game after this disaster, but hypothetically, if they were to try again it should be a game that takes place at some ambiguous time after Star Fox Assault, and re-introduces us to the team without having to drag us through past events all over again. 64 through Assault would still be canon, but the game should be written in such a way that it's the perfect place to start if you've never played a Star Fox game before, and if you've already played them all it will still offer a fresh and new campaign with great gameplay and a bigger, better multiplayer mode based on Assault's.

They already did.

It did not turn out the furry dating simulator you wanted, but it was a good game.

A game you could not date your waifu in, but a good GAME.

>Because gaymurz are stupid casual faggots and don't realize that this is the exact game that the series needs, REEEEEEE!

Seriously, I find it laughable that there are still people who are sticking up for this game. If Star Fox Zero had one job, it was to make Star Fox popular again, and it utterly failed at that. It did not bring any new fans to the franchise, and all we have to do is look at the sales charts to see that it turned off most of the fans of the older games.

If we discount Command because it's shit, then we can pinpoint there being roughly a million people who will consistently buy Star Fox games as long as they are of somewhat decent quality. Command only sold half a million copies, and Zero will not even sell that much. That means there's less than half a million people out there who will buy a Star Fox game regardless of how shitty it is, and seeing how badly Zero is selling, it's safe to say the game itself is on the shit end of the Star Fox spectrum.

Are you implying that 64 isn't based off of SNES?

Fuck you, if anything they should double down on the furry. The game would finally have an audience again at least.

Let's hope you never get to make important decisions ever.
