They ported a 10-year-old game to the 3DS in a subgenre that hasn't aged gracefully in the cost-benefit department, and sold it at full price for several years.

What the fuck... wtf the fuck

This.... this can't be happening. .. this was supposed to be OUR game... THEE defining star wars game.... people were only ironically hating it but they've taken it too far

Rise up bros, and buy as many copies as you can to show the true sales to nintendo

I already ordered 5 more copies and will do another 10 when my next paycheck comes in

Let's do this shit

What, are you kidding? I got hundreds of replays out of Star Fox 64 back when...

Oh. I figured a good number of young kids would jump in on it and at least double that number...but I guess not with the series ruined THANK YOU COMMAND YOU LOOPY PIECE OF SHIT.

Well, I personally savored the 3D effect in space.

It's a remake of the first game with slightly less content than the original still fun tho

yes

'remake' in a loose sense where it follows the basic structure but is completely redone, includes some new and some cut content and isn't just an up-res port

SF 800,000

>>335704808

SF64 sold like 550,000 copies in Japan

Though I can't speak for Zero as I've not played it yet, the chart shows that the Japs buy fewer copies of shitter games. What a place to live.
>>
>>335704862
I love Starfox 64, Rez, Sin and Punishment 2, and Panzer Dragoon, but save for maybe S&P2, none of them rate a price over $30. Especially considering that one can purchase the original N64 Starfox for $10 from Nintendo's own digital store, where the only things you lose are the depth gimmick and portability.
>>
>>335702990
This was probably in line with their expectations. The 3DS has drastically outsold the Wii U, so it would appear a higher proportion of people bought SF Zero than 64 3D.
>>
>>335705379
I don't see why not. These are 3D environments, take as much planning as the typical Nintendo game - I fail to see the value disconnect.

That said, I'm not a big fan of the others you listed because they just seem so dull, so I'm in the minority that genuinely enjoys Star Fox's universe thoroughly.
>>
>>335705189
>>335705194

Whenever gaming mags and sites do popularity polls in Japan Star Fox is consistently out of the top 10. Even Mother and F Zero are more popular.

So? Starfox never sells in Japan.

Even when Nintendo bends over backwards to appeal to them (see: Command's stupid plastic art style)

They do hate Krystal though, so, ya know. Broken clocks.

considering how poorly rhe SF64 3d port did I'm nor sure there's any reason to use the SF64 column as a reference. the most recent data is the most relevant. Game failed to create hype and interest though.

comparing those data is stupid. people who played the first or 64 game are like more than 30 now. the chance they still want to play the same game are slim.

It was though both graphically and gameically there's a reason it's the second highest selling star fox game.
>>
>>335712337
Games generally sell on reputation. Star Fox SNES and 64 were outstanding, so people expected the next one to be great too. SFA is the main reason every game after it sold like shit. It ruined the reputation of Star Fox as a franchise.

Looks like that anime didn't help much. Maybe they can stop wasting studios time and efforts with these video game commercials since they clearly have a net zero effect in favor of them but then probably to late as Japan has already committed to this path. I still swear the only Japanese company that looks like it knows what it's doing, wants to do and how to do it right now is Bandai Namco
>>
>>335711158
Well considering it was the best AC since the original and the Amiibo Festival shitpile flopped there too I'd say they have it in regards to that series
>>

Nips don't give a shit about autistic Nintendo first party franchises like Metroid or Furry Fox.

>>335709130

There's that people just saying shit cause it's convenient thing again. Next time a Tales game is a bestseller you'll be saying how shit their taste is and how they could dare buy such bad games.

That's funny since it's the best "Zelda game" since Ocarina of Time.

So like every Zelda since OOT?

I do not remember these supposed mini games just dungeons.

Metroid prime wasn't a breakthrough by any means. Just shoehorned into a fps like odd world to crash in on a craze abandoning their genre defining mechanics

You don't have to escort navi, fi, ezlo, midna, or the king of lions anywhere, and they provide more control and functionality to the player

tricky was just a fucking annoying escort mission over and over again so he could dig up random shit

>do not remember these supposed mini games
there's a krazoa test every five seconds, but you wouldn't fucking know because you haven't played the game in ten years and somehow think it's good due to your rose tinted glasses.
>>
>>335717737
>You don't have to escort navi, fi, ezlo, midna, or the king of lions anywhere, and they provide more control and functionality to the player
>they provide more control and functionality to the player

They LITERALLY only provide hints I'm sure they're helpful if you're a fucking casual.

>tricky was just a fucking annoying escort mission over and over again so he could dig up random shit

And that automatically makes it a bad game? This whole escort mission meme was disproven in 2005 with the release of Re 4.

>there's a krazoa test every five seconds, but you wouldn't fucking know because you haven't played the game in ten years and somehow think it's good due to your rose tinted glasses.

There's like 3 or 4 in the whole game and only one provides a (small) challenge.
>>
>>335718325
When 30% of the game is watching tricky slowly walk over to a crack and then dig it up, yeah it does make it a bad game
>>
>>335704398

There's a reason Tricky has his own HUD element.
>>
>>335718564
All we need is literally 10 copies bought per person. That's nothing. With that, if only 10,000 people bought the game, it'll be the same as if 100,000 people bought the game. We can do it
