Well, I was thinking about my favorite series of all gamin: StarFox and about my favorite game: StarFox 64 and how the series has come to develop throughout the years.
After StarFox 64 we had a great and enertaining game, StarFox Adventures. It let you, for the first time, play as Fox in an adventure mode, (no, multiplayer on the N64 version doesn’t count...) aswell as use yourAwring and Landmaster in combat. The game was great. I very much enjoyed it. Great graphics, great gameplay, excellent story it even introduced us to a great new member to the series, Krystal.
Then cam StarFox Assault. A game I was waiting for because they had announced you would finally play Fox in the air, based more on the gameplay of StarFox 64, yet leaving you with foot battle aswell. The game was solid, with a good replay value, but it lacked a certain spark, I have no idea what, that the N64 verion had. The graphics were great, spectacular even, very colorful, but I noticed minor details i reallycouldn’t overcome, for example, Wolf helping Fox out, no rumble when your Arwing came in contact with other objects, the screen didn’t move when you came in contact with an object, (remember on the N64 version when you crashed, the screen moved dramatically, turned red and the sound was great, it was as if you were actually in the Arwing itself!) it was pretty much a remake of StarFox 64 but with better graphics and a DIFFERENT final boss (come-on, Andross is like the Bowser of the Mario Series) and the fact that the Great Fox wasn’t the Great Fox anymore, it was an entirely new ship. Sure, it loked futuristic and all but, come on! The original is a classic and should stay that way, it has made its way from StarFox 64 to al three Smash Games as an AMAZING stage for some reason, hasn’t it?. Overall it was a good game but not a game that I would call on my top list. Just good, thats it.
Now we have the HORRENDOUS mistake of a game... StarFox Command. From AWFUL character designs;
(Krystal’s head size, thank you very much and Fox’s Bell-Head doesn’t help)
to a storyline with various endings, this game was a big no no, and is what you get for letting someone random to deveop it. I won’t even bother going on about this game, those who played it know how bad it was.
Now, StarFox Wii. A game that Shigeru Miyamoto showed intrest in developing back in 2006 when he talked about this game and its controls with the Wii-Mote and also about Mario Galaxy. He should be the one developing the Nintendo Series games, he should be the only one developing StarFox Wii. Not anyone else.
Imagine if he did to Starfox Wii what he did to Mario Galaxy gameplay-wise, graphics-wise and story-wise. He is a true mastermind and the #1 game developer. Imagine going through the Asteroid Belt at great speeds, controling the Arwing with your Wii-Mote, graphics like Mario Galaxy (that “glowish” look would be perfect!), a story involving the almighty Andross and the boss once again, encountering StarWolf’s team and their new ships in an all-out battle, defeating NEW enemies... The possibilities are truely endless.
This is why, if I’m (we) lucky enough, StarFox Wii will be the title that gets announced this upcoming E3 and will be done by no other than Shigeru Miyamoto himself.
Tell me what you think, tell me if you share the same thoughts as me or if you have new ideas for the game.
Well Reggie said they have a big title to announce this E3 in an interview. In the interview he was being asked if Ninty had any games to cpompete with the 360 and PS3’s lineups for 2008 and he said that they have a major game which they will announce this year at E3. Btw it’s not going to be a zelda, Donkey Kong, or Mario game.
Command was a great game, I mean it did introduce the different arwings and other ships plus it was the first star fox game were you could play as leon, panther, bill, kat, and even james.
If there was another star fox game coming it would be nice to see stuff like this,
Co-op- 4 teammates = 4 players and that would be awesome only problem will be figuring out who has to play as slippy, others will always fight about being Fox, Falco, Wolf, Krystal or anyone but Slippy and Amanda.
More stratigic routes- this has been a staple in the franchise from the start, you chose your path and follow it the way you want. In the next one it would be cool to see senarios like this, divide the team up all to 1 planet or 4 different ones and each planet(mind that there are many now) and depending on the terrain that is what kind of vechicle you are allowed to use, mainly arwing anyplace and each person could still have their own arwing but they could also do back with the rail system for levels that could make use of the landmaster too.
Like use 2 different ones this time instead of 1, the anti-air verson from SF64 and the anti-armor one from Assault, the Anit-air one is faster but has less armor and is not as effective on ground troops while the anti-armor one is your basic tank and can only do limited damage to airships. Both could take place in all-range mode fights and rail-levels. The blue marine would be nice to have back in for levels like Aquas and fights on foot could be done in only levels with all range mode or at a point in the level when it switches to it. At any point when you are fighting in all range-mode you could jump out and switch vechicles. Plus you could give them starting equipment like blasters, machine guns, rocket launchers, etc. Plus for allies like Bill, Kat, Dash, and so on when they join you you can swap others out so that there are still only 4 people on team but you could manage their status.
Power-ups
Okay in SFcommand in single-player the power-ups like laser upgrades were gone but somthing interesting could be done in a new game, at any point you could switch the main kind of weapon or lock system on a ship and it could have both positive and negative effects like the bullfrog is a bomber and if you take away its plasma shot and give it twin lasers it could suffer a little, each of the 5 shot types:
single
twin
arc
plasma
zapper
each of them could have benefits and downsides on how it totally effects the ship.
