How can Nintendo save Star Fox?
>>
By reading your constant shitposting threads.

People who think Star Fox can be saved are people who blinded themselves into thinking Star Fox was any good.

Easily Nintendo's worst IP

Take Zero.

Add twice as many levels.

Either drop motion controls or make them optional.

There, done.

Star Fox Assault:
Actual flying levels are fun, on-foot and tank levels could use some work

Now, if you're a competent developer, how would you fix these problems?

You could:

a. Ask the people who played Star Fox Assault what they liked and didn't like about the game and change it accordingly

b. Focus on areas that were underutilized in past entries and make those better

OR, if you're Miyamoto and his team of Yes Men at Nintendo:

c. Cut out all the stuff that didn't work and put a gimmick on the stuff that did. Also cut the game time in half.

Miyamoto's created some of the greatest games of all time, but in 2016 he's a senile old fuck who's completely out of touch with what his hardcore fans want.

Zero's design was already good

Just add more content with original and creative levels instead of 64 again

Get rid of gyrocopter

either improve or make the gyro optional

and add multiplayer

Otherwise Zero has the fundemental template for the perfect star fox game, especially the improvements to All Range Mode

That's not a flaw

It feels like development consisted of the team trying to perfect the controls as the number one priority and brush everything else as secondary because of Miyamoto.

Controls are the "love it or hate it" Dillema that the majority canned as hate it

Graphics are fucking terrible, despite how great the presentation and action was very well made

Level Select system for an otherwise short game that relies on replayability kills this

No Multiplayer and enough content, if Star Fox Guard was included in the game itself rather than seperate than maybe

Otherwise, fix these problems in a sequel with a more original story, and your golden

This

If they had spent less type on trying to push the controls and more time working on a variety of content, it would have been a stellar title.

I saw in an interview with Bill and Miyamoto that one of the bigger reasons for the delay was because the feedback from Star Fox fans who tested it were unhappy that there were no branching paths and were originally planning it as a quote "short pick up and play title", meaning they were literally added the branching paths as an afterthought because they were so deluded in thinking people would forgive it for its new control scheme.

The level where you fly through the shield is fucking awesome. The super fast speed level is fucking awesome.

Nothing else was awesome.

>What are some good ideas that could have been better?
Chicken walker could be good but the issue is it's just the arwing with less mobility. There's no advantage to turning into it. Finding that advantage without crippling previous strengths will fix any issues with it.

Just fucking scrap the gryowing, that thing is a fucking mistake.

More on-rails missions, I don't know how nintendo has missed this so many times now.

and most importantly, remember that the fun of these levels is replayability! Enemy placement is very important!

Simple. Mix assault and 64 into one game with online and no cringy VAs and don't force any gimmicks into it. Also, no miyamoto

nope, you can disable them from being on all the time but it just creates a bigger issue than them being perma on.

Lylat wars RTS with a focus on expanding the universe and story rather than trying to inflate two dimensional characters who I wish could've been deep because they're cool

I have a suspicion that a Club Nintendo poll results for Star Fox 64 3D was one of the reasons Zero focused on Gyro controls

>>344242219
It's not, it's entirely miyamoto. He was assigned back in 2014 to make games that justified the use of the gamepad. Star Fox was one of them.

they can't. Star Fox has lost it's relevance when rail shooters died and nintendo is beating a dead horse each time they experiment on this series. And furries only want their Krystal/Fox/Wolf fanservice to fap to it and dont actually care about the game. Let it stay dead

Make it furry mass effect, with gay romances and all.

Honestly though, like most Nintendo franchises, SF would benefit from more characters, what don't we know about the main cast at this point?

>A single-player campaign that's much longer and at least decently written, not asking for the next 10/10 feels simulator or something

ok then, make a Command with less SRPG elements (which is what people hate about that game apparently)

Honestly, turn it in to mass effect with a focus aerial and space battles.

I don't mean a psuedo RPG but things like side missions and actual choices in where you go to accomplish a goal when you want. Large areas with open flight for side missions while adding in traditional starfox rail shooting for specific missions.

Let us manage our Great Fox, fighters and crew while accomplishing goals in a game that takes more than a bit of spare time to 100%. Sprinkle in a bit of grounded missions for boot and tank gameplay.

Will never happen but it's what I've thought of for it.

Star Fox Zero focused on gyro controls because an investor at one of the investor's meetings asked how Nintendo had justified the Wii U's GamePad with any of their software. He claimed that all of the first party games released on Wii U were the exact same game with or without the GamePad.

SFZ was delayed in order to demonstrate an experience that only the GamePad could deliver.

Nintendo for the past decade-ish has always been about digging beyond the pointless gimmicks to try and play a good game.

The Yoshi series has two good games. I can't possibly see how you can like Yoshi's Island but not like Wooly World. It is an absolutely perfect sequel in every way.

Animal Crossing is their worst IP easily. Life simulation games are never good. At least with Star Fox Zero I can get some entertainment value out of it.
>>
>>344236572
I would just establish that the next game takes place several years after the original and that the team has grown. Sometime after Assault but ignoring Command. A soft reboot, essentially.
