PSVG: "Alright, I know what you are thinking already. A Star Fox Zero review coming out months after the game released? Yes, your eyes are not selling lies to your brain. You are reading this correctly. It just took that much time to for this lifelong Star Fox fan to make peace with the truth:
Star Fox Zero is not a good game!"
Has time been kind to Star Fox Zero? Does the game have any redeeming qualities that are worthy of revisiting? Should it be considered for a port to the Switch? Was it really that bad?
Haven't played it since it came out, but I really enjoyed it. Can't tell if that's just nostalgia-tinted glasses, or if I actually consider it a good game though lol.
It's a mediocre game that reuses ideas, scenarios, characters and moments from previous ones. Paired with one of the worst control methods that I had the displeasure of using.
Those controls. Boring and frustrating at the same time. Only with co-op they were bearable, but co-op was restricted to finished levels.
controls made me stop playing also what good is a 65inch tv when you have to look at a tiny Wiiu tablet.. same with kirby & the rainbow curse..
No it was great, just the control scheme spoilt things really. The wii u screen was not needed for it really
But any potential design changes would be up to Nintendo if it happens.
I’d rather Star Fox Assault be brought to Switch with online multiplayer instead
Platinum Games wants to many things but sadly it does not show nothing new for years!They try to jump on all offers but end finishing none!
I rather have them show more of Bayonetta 3 first before they talking about any new project.
This reeks Inafune's funding for Red Ash and Mighty No.9 animated series, both never materialized.
WGTC: "Nintendo hasn’t always given Starfox the most love among its tentpole franchises, but the series has still cultivated a loyal cult fanbase over its almost 30-year history. Here are all of the games in the mainline series ranked from worst to best."
Well, they listed Star Fox Zero as the worst one, so that list is at least believable.
I feel like if you're judging the original Star Fox by it's era then I feel you should do the same with Star Fox 2 IMO. Since they are both effectively SNEA games
It's hard to top the N64 version (well maybe the 3DS version, but that should have used uncompressed audio. Without that it's a step down from what it could have been IMO)
Unfortunately for Nintendo, it looks like the sales of Star Fox Zero are even worse than originally estimated. VGChartz originally had an estimate of 330k worldwide as of April 30th, but the estimate as of May 14th was reduced to 280k. It's a shame that Nintendo squandered the opportunity with one of their big IPs so badly.
I loved Star Fox really fun
