Star Fox 64 was legendary. Moral of the story: sometimes doing the same thing over again but better is better than trying to re-invent something thats simple but already works very well
@orangeslash1667 Oh, really? The only example I can think of is Konami and Treasure. Treasure, for instance, wants to focus on new and original concepts for their games while Konami would rather keep making re-hashes of the same games and slowly milk their classic IPs dry for the sake of money and nostalgia value.
@@jahmirwhite7807 There's more. There's Platinum Games, made of former Capcom devs because they're upset about Clover Studios getting shutdown. Bungie the creators of Halo, but left because they wanted to make more than Halo. Prope, founded by Yuji Naka because he wanted to make more than Sonic. Good feel also make of former Konami devs. Inti Creates another company formed by Capcom devs. Finally Keita Takahashi the creator of Katamari Damacy series, he made the first two game and then left after because he wanted to work on new things. Namco would continue make Katamari game, but some people complained about the lack of innovation of the modern games.
I'm tired of Star Fox fans not being greatful. I actually love Star Fox adventures because Fox McCloud finally got out of his damn cockpit. Do you want him in a damn cockpit 24/7? And I don't understand why people hate Assault like what. And where the fuck is a new Star Fox game going come?! *sigh* why can't people ever be greatful
Assault isn't even that far from the tree. If anything I feel like Assault is something nintendo would be making in the switch era. Nintendo is in this era of open sand box and freedom to play however you want. Assaults on foot mostly let's you tackle the situation however you want. All on foot, all landmaster, all arwing, or all of them. It's something that makes sense as 64 you were either always in the arwing or always in another vehical in a single mission.
Well, this video earned you a new Subscriber for externalizing everyone’s collective rage and disdain for Star Fox Zero in the same video that heaped on praise and adoration for Star Fox 64 (rightfully so).
One good thing about Star Fox 64 is that the compression on the audio actually adds to the experience rather than detracts due to that being how actual radio transmissions sound.
It's a shame at how Miyamoto managed to ruin Star Fox Zero which heavily implies that the Star Fox series is dead in the water, alongside with franchises like F-Zero, Wario Land, Custom Robo, etc.
I think Star Fox is popular enough to get another sequel, but it going to take a while for Nintendo to give it another shot. On the other hand, F-Zero is literally a commercial failure because people just don't care anymore
This is the exact kind of video we all needed and the one this series deserves. About a guy yelling at a Japanese celebrity who'll never listen to him, to complain about how he is sabotaging our childhood's game.

Note: I've watched the nine different endings and have a small knowledge to Star Fox Command, but this is how I'd write it: We can keep characters like Katt, Bill, Amanda, and Dash, as well as the original cast. Anyway, General Pepper is murdered, can keep the fact that he barely survived from the aparoid infection, and Peppy is hand selected to be the new general. Around this time, Skippy is with Amanda. Weeks later, Falco is accused of the murder and is arrested-NOT SOME "I'M BORED. I'M OUTTA HERE" BULL. As Fox, Krystal, Slippy, and Peppy fight to clear Falco's name, Amanda's mom died of cancer so Slippy goes to that Aqua planet, forget the name. So, that leaves Fox and Krystal. INSTEAD OF A DUMB FOX YELLING KRYSTAL SHE CAN NO LONGER BE ON THE TEAM... they get a call from Peppy to investigate a distress call. The foxes go and, drum roll please, it was a trap. Krystal goes missing and Fox has to escape without her, which crushes him. Then, things get worse. Falco is found guilty and will receive the death penalty. Fox has beem searching for traces of Krystal but to no avail. Slippy and Peppy try to comfort Fox but he won't listen. He feels like a failure and that he's lost two of friends. The night Falco is to be executed, there is a jailbreak. Falco is rescued by none other than...Katt Monroe! Fox gets word of it, a little overjoyed tgat Falco escaped the death penalty but worried he'll get killed now that he's an escaped convict. Two days later, Fox gets a message from Falco who claims he knows where Krystal. Fox, sceptical at first, decides to rendezvous Falco, not letting Peppy know, what with posdibly his position being compromised. He tells Slippy who would need to cover Fox in case anything happens. Fox meets Falco at Zoness base. He is now missing. Slippy, now only with Amanda, the two of them now searching for their missing friends. This is when the adventure begins.

Good shit as always, homie. Can't wait for the eventual F-Zero retrospective. I know you'll have a field day, hahaha! And THANK YOU for addressing the Miyamoto elephant in the room. He keeps ruining good things! They need to keep that creative director from Odyssey on board if there's ever another Paper Mario. That's a step in the right direction, since it finally had original characters again.
Starfox is that one friend who peaked in highschool and can't stop talking about how much fun highschool was but hasn't noticed they're already in their late 30's
Nintendo’s excessive reliance on gimmicks as main selling points is what caused potentially long-running franchises like Star Fox to be forgotten by time. It’s kind of sad, because that’s Nintendo’s MO. Sometimes you don’t have to do a complete overhaul or introduce a new gameplay mechanic that needs expensive peripherals. There are times when less is more. A clear example of that is Metal Slug, which still holds up to this day while carrying the same old core mechanics. It took SNK 10 years to add two more characters and different stats for each.
The thing is that Assault was a natural evolution of the series that just needed one more game to realize its potential. Every game besides the first had on foot gameplay and assault bridged three gameplay styles from 64 into a single mission style. 64 you were either in the arwing or in another vehicle for that one mission. Assault gave you the freedom to switch between them in a single mission. That's cool, and that's innovative for the series while still being in the ballpark. It just need that nintendo polish, that follow up game to clean the rough edges but we didn't get that.
I actually kind of liked the ground based missions in Assault and I am old enough to have played the original, but I will say I enjoyed the 3 rail missions were my absolute favs. The ideal sequel to 64, imho, is a game that has 3 or 4 different endings branching from 3 different paths (paths like 64) and each level builds on the story in a different way. The final ending (4) is the true ending where everything turns out great. Now I do think the story cutscenes in Assault were a bit too lengthy, but I appreciated the interlude before missions. That kind of dialogue would be INCREDIBLY more impactful if there were 3 different routes which can be switched around depending on missions' objectives rather than the repetitive 1 track story. So, to summarize, the ideal Starfox game to me would have 80% rail Arwing missions (64), a branching story with multiple endings (64, Command), have short cutscenes to help the player understand where they are in the story (Assault) and have a high score counter to encourage speedrunning/repeat plays to find the best routes. It doesn't even need new shit. It just needs to take the shit that's good and make it happen together.
Its definitely got weak points but if I knew that was gonna be the last time the actual story of starfox would actually move forward without dragging out andros's decrepit and dusty bones to beat on him again I would've bought 10 copies. And my first starfox game was the 3DS remake. Theres definitely a new generation out there that wants a new game in the series
@@mep15067StarFox Assaults ideas do feel like something nintendo would be doing now if they had their head on right. Nintendo has been focusing on freedom in their games like mario and zelda. Assaults on foot gave you the freedom to handle the tasks at hand in any way you want. All on foot, go ahead. Land master only, sure. Arwing only, your choice or all three. I was able to beat the sauria mission recently in 5 minutes by destroying the majority of the targets outside in the arwing then finished the rest on foot. With more variety and polish it could be a super replay able experience, great for the modern era.
@@kurokamina8429 I know right? I'd love to have another game in the series even if it had a few gimmicks if it continued like this and nintendo engineers have proven themselves to be able to make really compelling gameplay from these
Honestly based for thinking assault is mediocre, the arwing and landmaster don't feel right, the tank controls for fox feels weird, main campaign is a bit short
I kinda agree about the fan-ficy story of Commands but was that "Panther is basically black guy who stole Fox gf" comparison necessary? I tend to dislike love triangle but I don't think this metaphor was needed.
Starfox: Ok Starfox 64: Serious drama/music Starfox Adventures: Get Force Gemmini Starfox Command: Advancewars Starfox Assault: Disney made this? Starfox Zero: Innovative as a car with squared wheels
I hate to do this, because I’m a Star Fox lover as well, but I’m going to throw a comment I saw on another video in here. Has everyone fucking forgot, that Fox is a fucking bounty hunter? Of course there’s going to be on foot missions. He can’t just fly around in a ship shooting the whole time. Yes it’s fun, but after a while don’t you think you’d get bored? I know I would. Again, this is coming from someone who likes the Star Fox series. Hell… I’ve played Star Fox 64, and more recently Star Fox, and Star Fox 2, (Thanks NSO), and I’ve enjoyed it. But I also want more than just flying around in a ship and shooting shit in space.
I like Star Fox, too. And, yes, Fox should definitely be on the ground for a good portion of the future games if they decide to bring the series back. Assault was in the right direction and even though I understand the criticisms Adventures has received, agreeing wiht a good amount of them, I still like the game. If the future Star Fox games focus on story, characters, and voice acting-although I don't find it bad but am opened for possible improvement based off of what others have said-then we can definitely make some progress. Also, considering Star Fox is a team of mercenaries, they would also be in part of controversy as well b/c not everyone likes mercenaries, even if some of them work for the good ppl-can definitely work for a character like Fox who wants to uphold his father's legacy but doubts if he's doing enough and that should they even be mercenaries b/c, at one point, they were hired by another army General but wetr tricked into killing a wrongfully convicted guy and now this puts a dent in Fox's conscience-who else could get killed b/c of their status of being mercenaries? Farewell, Beloved Falco had a story like that, but the narrative was botched b/c it turned Falco and Fox into unlikable, clueless jerks, as well as having a lack luster villain, ect. Also, the other games, after Zero, should focus on the other characters: Falco. Slippy, Peppy, ect to flesh them out, like what Resident Evil has been doing. And speaking of that game, RE4 is a beloeved game that kept what ppl loved about the Resident Evil earlier games, and adding a new genre to the game: action. If it can work for RE, then adding ground missions, as long as they don't over do them, shouldn't hurt the Star Fox franchise into evolving.
I find that so annoying because StarFox was going to have on foot gameplay as early as 2 and 64. I really think that if two came out that the feelings towards the post 64 games would be different from all those traditionalists.
Thank you soo much man...I seem to never be disappointed with your videos!!! I would like to request some retrospectives: Metroid Series Kirby (maybe) Super Monkey Ball Final Fantasy Animal Crossing God Of War
Metroid will definitely happen at some point, but don't expect Kirby anytime soon. The hardest part is just getting around to actually playing most of the game so I know what I'm talking about and there are like 10 billion Kirby games I have to get around to.
@@User-ys7ks If Sam were to do a video on any Nintendo handheld, it should definitely be the GBA. We never hear him talk about it, and it’s his profile icon!
17:37 star fox had a off arwing mode in star fox 64 multiplayer Star Fox 64 features multiplayer support for up to four players simultaneously. At first, users can only play using the Arwing spaceship, but by earning certain medals in the main campaign, players can unlock the Landmaster tank and fight on foot as one of the four members of Star Fox equipped with a bazooka.
StarFox and Pokemon have the most variety and development potential of any franchise. 35 years old, and this Lylat Ace STILL holding out for this series
Do we think an actual on rails Starfox would sell today? I can just see a new Starfox. "Huge new open world sandbox game play! Upgrade your Arwing with loot crates and don't forget your battle pass!"
Feel the same about F-Zero. The stubbornness from Nintendo about not being able to push the envelope with the series has left without a game for years. Don't care just want a new F-Zero!
The alternate reality if Star Fox were killing it or treated just as well as the Zelda series. They would've given more then one team to Star Fox. One for the on rails arcade game, and another team for a more action and story oriented approach like Assault and Star Fox 2. Like how Zelda started off as a 2d top down adventure but once Ocarina of Time rolled around, and started making 3d games, Nintendo would still keep the 2d games alive on the handhelds.
Honestly just do this. He didn't talk about it but fanbase wise it's a total mess. We can't complete agree or agree by majority which route the series should go. But having them pull a metroid or zelda with the 2d and 3d, we could theoretically get around this problem.
Yeah, everyone thinks Half Life 3 has taken forever, but there's way more stuff that's been dead for even longer. Pretty much anything before 2007 has been dead for just as long, if not longer
@@orangeslash1667But innovation doesn't always have to be necessary, right? Otherwise, it could ruin the overall experience of the game (especially the post 64 SF games) and not make it fun for everyone.
@@jahmirwhite7807 Isn't innovation the reason Mario and Splatoon keep going??? Not helping matters is that If Miyamoto wanted to make another SF, he would have to find a third party company to make it. Even SF 3ds was made by Q games.
More like the Star Fox fandom should pull their heads out of their asses! It sure is one of the most immature, indecisive, and toxic fandoms in all of video gaming!
I don't see what's wrong with zero's walker and honestly? the third person view in zero which is what I ALWAYS use is fine aren't there only like....2 land master boss fights? wouldn't say zero was bad not sure what you mean by "scrolling corridors" though guard wasn't bad either
Gyro controls would've been cool if it were used in conjunction with the right analog stick, because gyro works better in conjunction with the sticks to make precise movements because sticks are good for larger camera movements.
You're 100% correct on Star Fox Assault having the multiplayer as its focus: it was originally going to have an arcade version and sport online multiplayer as a selling point, both of which got axed. As for Command, I'm shocked you didn't mention its biggest problem: it's boring as fuck because it's the same shit for way too long, with no variety in mission objectives or enemy and level design. I won't go on about Zero, but it stands out to me as one of the few games where I actively struggled with the controls and consciously decided to put it down. If Star Fox wasn't always distracted by game-consuming gimmicks, we'd probably have cool, organic features like full co-op, ship upgrades, galaxy exploration, smart use of on-foot sections, online leaderboards, and actually interesting stories. The absence of co-op especially pisses me off because it's a fucking series about a group of four pilots and it _still_ hasn't let you and your friends save the galaxy together!
Y'know, I don't give a crap about Star Fox. But I still feel sorry for all of you who love this franchise. This would never happen to Zelda or Mario. At least it's not as bad as the F-ZERO situation.
The only people I will ever trust to make another StarFox game is the very dedicated fans, (much like the people who made Sonic Mania) yes the series is in that situation.
Yikes! If they ever decide to..reboot Star Fox for the 3rd time, then what they need to do is just make a new game that introduces ground missions, and, like what Ubisoft did with the boys in Starlink, let us be able to play the other characters-it is called Star Fox, after all. For love of Pete, don't retell the story of Star Fox setting out to kill Andross and weaken his squadron. They can reference those events, like what The Batman did. And, I hope they will bring Krystal back, just...make her better. Her backstory is great, just use it to flesh out her character throughout the games.
@@jacindaellison3363 They did it's called Splatoon 2, so Nintendo may abandon Starfox because of it. Just like Nintendo abandoned F-zero for Mario Kart 8. It reminds me of the Twilight episode the (obsolete man).
@@orangeslash1667I don't get this argument at all considering that nintendo has multiple platformer, multiple rpgs, Adventure games, and brought back f zero with 99. So I find this statement invalid.
@@kurokamina8429 Miyamoto stated that he has not interest in making another Starfox unless he can come with a new gameplay idea for it. SF is based on arcade shooters, which have been dead since 2005, mostly because of how short they are now a days. Since Nintendo has Splatoon 2, an online fast paced shooter with multiplayer, why bother with SF?? Even if Nintendo wanted to make another SF they would have get a third party company to make it, like Assault and Zero. As Nintendo in house are too busy with other projects. The good news is that I recommend Rocket Knight Adventures: Re-sparked!, and Bot Vice there like Star Fox Assault in 2d. There's this game called Elsie that looks cool, but it's sadly not out yet.
@@orangeslash1667 that statement no longer matters now. Nintendo is currently giving young blood a shot on their IPS and miyamoto himself is busy with the park and other stuff. Miyamoto can approach of letting someone younger have a Crack at starfox. Technically speaking arcade shooters were dead if not dying as early as the first game and they were successful. Also for something that died in 2005, they choose to allow sakurai to make kid icarus uprising which is an on rail shoot for the 3ds in 2013 was it? That games a massive cult following and people would love to see it return. But unfortunately it probably won't as it was a one of thing for sakurai. But it's important because not only was it an on railer shooter but it was also a 3rd person shooter which is what assault is. All it really needs to do is be polished, have an excellent story, and multiplayer. I'm perfectly fine with nintendo not working on it themselves. I trust Bandai Namco or literally any other 3rd party developers with starfox more then nintendo. And metroids been doing well if mercury steam so that's a plus really. Again this statement is one big pile of shit because they have more then just one platformer, more then one adventure game, more then one rpg game. StarFox and splatoon play nothing alike. Starfox has space ships, tanks, variety of weapons in a sort of battle royal arena. Splatoon is more similar to like plants vs zombies where its team based and trying to take over the most turf with your ink. They look and sound nothing alike. And don't do that recommending stuff. It's annoying.
As someone who really wants a proper sequel to 64, I feel the pain in this video, even thought I don't agree with all of it. Sadly, that's probably not going to happen. With the exception of a small jump with 643D, every new game since 64 has sold less than the predecessor, culminating in Zero completely bombing out. Nintendo ain't gonna touch this series for a long time yet with a sales trajectory like that.
Like how Star Fox 64 is a reboot of Star Fox snes i think they could've made Star Fox reboot of Star Fox 2 which would be a true sequel to Star Fox 64 back then. And sure they may had to change some stuff like changing the villain since Andross would be dead in 64 but you know.
Star Fox 64 is personally my favorite game of all time, and as soon as I get my new Switch (my old one blue screened, it would’ve been cheaper to just get another one) I’m absolutely doing another playthrough or five

The part of Star Fox command fucking killed me😂😂.
I know this video is kinda old, but I hope ypu keep making videos like this every once in a while.
blessings brother
HyperCharge coming out with a new video is the best E3 Event!
Star fox:I like this game
Star fox 2:I like this game
Star fox 64:I LOVE STAR FOX
Star fox adventures:I HATE NOT STAR FOX
Star fox assault:Pretty mid
Star fox command:I HATE KIND OF STAR FOX FANFICTION
Star fox zero:WHY CANT I HIT MY SHOTS
This guy is underrated
And you all thought the Metroid fans were having a hard time. Jeez.
Good shit as always, homie.
Can't wait for the eventual F-Zero retrospective. I know you'll have a field day, hahaha!
And THANK YOU for addressing the Miyamoto elephant in the room. He keeps ruining good things! They need to keep that creative director from Odyssey on board if there's ever another Paper Mario. That's a step in the right direction, since it finally had original characters again.
The fact that a non-Paper Mario game has WAY more original characters than a Paper Mario really shows how naive Miyamoto is.
I liked the dinosaur Star Fox tbh, but it woulda been sick to have more classic star fox stuff
I recommend Rocket Knight Adventures: Re-sparked!, and Bot Vice there like Star Fox Assault in 2d.
Congrats on getting banjo kazzooie in smash
Well, it was bound to happen eventually
32:43 the intense boss fight music as he starts yelling 😂
You mean Star Fox: Zero Eff...
Never mind this jokes been made already
I feel you. It's like being a Sonic fan who just wanted 3D sonic to be his adventure stages but had to suck nob
Your humor is priceless man. You progressively started to lose your sh*t 😂
Starfox is that one friend who peaked in highschool and can't stop talking about how much fun highschool was but hasn't noticed they're already in their late 30's
Nintendo’s excessive reliance on gimmicks as main selling points is what caused potentially long-running franchises like Star Fox to be forgotten by time. It’s kind of sad, because that’s Nintendo’s MO. Sometimes you don’t have to do a complete overhaul or introduce a new gameplay mechanic that needs expensive peripherals. There are times when less is more. A clear example of that is Metal Slug, which still holds up to this day while carrying the same old core mechanics. It took SNK 10 years to add two more characters and different stats for each.
The problem is that some developers hate doing the same thing over and over. There many moments were people leave the company because of that.
The thing is that Assault was a natural evolution of the series that just needed one more game to realize its potential. Every game besides the first had on foot gameplay and assault bridged three gameplay styles from 64 into a single mission style. 64 you were either in the arwing or in another vehicle for that one mission. Assault gave you the freedom to switch between them in a single mission. That's cool, and that's innovative for the series while still being in the ballpark. It just need that nintendo polish, that follow up game to clean the rough edges but we didn't get that.
I actually kind of liked the ground based missions in Assault and I am old enough to have played the original, but I will say I enjoyed the 3 rail missions were my absolute favs.
The ideal sequel to 64, imho, is a game that has 3 or 4 different endings branching from 3 different paths (paths like 64) and each level builds on the story in a different way. The final ending (4) is the true ending where everything turns out great. Now I do think the story cutscenes in Assault were a bit too lengthy, but I appreciated the interlude before missions. That kind of dialogue would be INCREDIBLY more impactful if there were 3 different routes which can be switched around depending on missions' objectives rather than the repetitive 1 track story.
So, to summarize, the ideal Starfox game to me would have 80% rail Arwing missions (64), a branching story with multiple endings (64, Command), have short cutscenes to help the player understand where they are in the story (Assault) and have a high score counter to encourage speedrunning/repeat plays to find the best routes.
It doesn't even need new shit. It just needs to take the shit that's good and make it happen together.
StarFox Assault is my favorite in the series but do people not know they could skip the cutscenes?
I agree. But a new SF game still needs some new content to keep things from going stale.
@@jahmirwhite7807 The problem is that rail shooters are dead because their so short. Not even a new story can fix that.
@@orangeslash1667 Ok, but what if it did, along with some new gameplay elements added to the mix?
@@jahmirwhite7807 Thats not an option ether. Miyamoto said he runout of ideas for the series and wants to move on.
Great video, man.
24:32 holy fuck hahahahaha I mean when you put it that way
This channel rules and deserves literally 1000x more subscribers
Lol i love this video, it expresses exactly what we starfox fans have experienced through the years.
I actually enjoy Skyward Sword and find Assault to be a respectable entry into the Star Fox series fight me
Eh, it's aight.
Its definitely got weak points but if I knew that was gonna be the last time the actual story of starfox would actually move forward without dragging out andros's decrepit and dusty bones to beat on him again I would've bought 10 copies. And my first starfox game was the 3DS remake. Theres definitely a new generation out there that wants a new game in the series
Bomb bowl!
It has a- SkYward Sword has a... BOMB Bowl.
Bomb Bowl!
@@mep15067StarFox Assaults ideas do feel like something nintendo would be doing now if they had their head on right. Nintendo has been focusing on freedom in their games like mario and zelda. Assaults on foot gave you the freedom to handle the tasks at hand in any way you want. All on foot, go ahead. Land master only, sure. Arwing only, your choice or all three. I was able to beat the sauria mission recently in 5 minutes by destroying the majority of the targets outside in the arwing then finished the rest on foot.
With more variety and polish it could be a super replay able experience, great for the modern era.
@@kurokamina8429 I know right? I'd love to have another game in the series even if it had a few gimmicks if it continued like this and nintendo engineers have proven themselves to be able to make really compelling gameplay from these
I really wish Star Fox Zero had a secret ending where Fox gets cucked by a cool black guy
Honestly based for thinking assault is mediocre, the arwing and landmaster don't feel right, the tank controls for fox feels weird, main campaign is a bit short
I love Assault!!
I don't know how it took me so long to find this channel. This is the single best review I've ever heard
32:10 is fucking golden
I kinda agree about the fan-ficy story of Commands but was that "Panther is basically black guy who stole Fox gf" comparison necessary? I tend to dislike love triangle but I don't think this metaphor was needed.
just found your channel, your content is amazing, boutta binge!
Starfox: Ok
Starfox 64: Serious drama/music
Starfox Adventures: Get Force Gemmini
Starfox Command: Advancewars
Starfox Assault: Disney made this?
Starfox Zero: Innovative as a car with squared wheels
This is the best Star Fox retrospective
i love how you just go crazy as the video goes on lol
Man I just wish nintendo would take the best from 64 and assault into one game release it with a good story and call it a day
Every time I get back into StarFox 64 to try to beat my scores, I rewatch this video. It makes me feel better about the fate of StarFox lol
I hate to do this, because I’m a Star Fox lover as well, but I’m going to throw a comment I saw on another video in here. Has everyone fucking forgot, that Fox is a fucking bounty hunter? Of course there’s going to be on foot missions. He can’t just fly around in a ship shooting the whole time. Yes it’s fun, but after a while don’t you think you’d get bored? I know I would. Again, this is coming from someone who likes the Star Fox series. Hell… I’ve played Star Fox 64, and more recently Star Fox, and Star Fox 2, (Thanks NSO), and I’ve enjoyed it. But I also want more than just flying around in a ship and shooting shit in space.
I like Star Fox, too. And, yes, Fox should definitely be on the ground for a good portion of the future games if they decide to bring the series back. Assault was in the right direction and even though I understand the criticisms Adventures has received, agreeing wiht a good amount of them, I still like the game. If the future Star Fox games focus on story, characters, and voice acting-although I don't find it bad but am opened for possible improvement based off of what others have said-then we can definitely make some progress. Also, considering Star Fox is a team of mercenaries, they would also be in part of controversy as well b/c not everyone likes mercenaries, even if some of them work for the good ppl-can definitely work for a character like Fox who wants to uphold his father's legacy but doubts if he's doing enough and that should they even be mercenaries b/c, at one point, they were hired by another army General but wetr tricked into killing a wrongfully convicted guy and now this puts a dent in Fox's conscience-who else could get killed b/c of their status of being mercenaries? Farewell, Beloved Falco had a story like that, but the narrative was botched b/c it turned Falco and Fox into unlikable, clueless jerks, as well as having a lack luster villain, ect.
Also, the other games, after Zero, should focus on the other characters: Falco. Slippy, Peppy, ect to flesh them out, like what Resident Evil has been doing. And speaking of that game, RE4 is a beloeved game that kept what ppl loved about the Resident Evil earlier games, and adding a new genre to the game: action. If it can work for RE, then adding ground missions, as long as they don't over do them, shouldn't hurt the Star Fox franchise into evolving.
@@jacindaellison3363 The good news is that Arcade shooters are still a thing in indie games.
I find that so annoying because StarFox was going to have on foot gameplay as early as 2 and 64. I really think that if two came out that the feelings towards the post 64 games would be different from all those traditionalists.
That reminds me that I never did unlock the on-foot mode for Star Fox 64's multiplayer mode
Thank you soo much man...I seem to never be disappointed with your videos!!!
I would like to request some retrospectives:
Metroid Series
Kirby (maybe)
Super Monkey Ball
Final Fantasy
Animal Crossing
God Of War
Metroid will definitely happen at some point, but don't expect Kirby anytime soon. The hardest part is just getting around to actually playing most of the game so I know what I'm talking about and there are like 10 billion Kirby games I have to get around to.
@@User-ys7ks If Sam were to do a video on any Nintendo handheld, it should definitely be the GBA. We never hear him talk about it, and it’s his profile icon!
Hey dude. This is some Top Tier shit 10/10
I haven’t laughed at a video like this in a long time! Finally… someone said what needed to be said
1000% agree with your argument here , it’s fucken insane that StarFox hasn’t had a proper game in ages.
I live for your fucking rants dude. Please never stop doing this!
17:37 star fox had a off arwing mode in star fox 64 multiplayer
Star Fox 64 features multiplayer support for up to four players simultaneously. At first, users can only play using the Arwing spaceship, but by earning certain medals in the main campaign, players can unlock the Landmaster tank and fight on foot as one of the four members of Star Fox equipped with a bazooka.
I agree so hard. But I'm here for your personality regardless
God...damn...the rage and hatred is strong with this one.😅😰
StarFox and Pokemon have the most variety and development potential of any franchise. 35 years old, and this Lylat Ace STILL holding out for this series
36:38 great now I’m depressed when you put it like that way. That photoshopped star fox Zelda game idea hurts because it’s so good
Do we think an actual on rails Starfox would sell today? I can just see a new Starfox. "Huge new open world sandbox game play! Upgrade your Arwing with loot crates and don't forget your battle pass!"
I don't think Nintendo needs Starfox anymore now that they have Splatoon 2???
a Kirby: Crystal Shards video would be the hypest shit .
nice vid bro keep going the good work!
"if it's fun for me, it's fun for others uwu" - miyamoto
Feel the same about F-Zero. The stubbornness from Nintendo about not being able to push the envelope with the series has left without a game for years. Don't care just want a new F-Zero!
Wish granted!!
so command was written by ken penders then
The 66 people who disliked this video work for Shigeru “INNOVATION” Miyamoto!
Thank you. Just, THANK YOU!
The alternate reality if Star Fox were killing it or treated just as well as the Zelda series. They would've given more then one team to Star Fox. One for the on rails arcade game, and another team for a more action and story oriented approach like Assault and Star Fox 2. Like how Zelda started off as a 2d top down adventure but once Ocarina of Time rolled around, and started making 3d games, Nintendo would still keep the 2d games alive on the handhelds.
Honestly just do this. He didn't talk about it but fanbase wise it's a total mess. We can't complete agree or agree by majority which route the series should go. But having them pull a metroid or zelda with the 2d and 3d, we could theoretically get around this problem.
That last line hits home hard
Yeah, everyone thinks Half Life 3 has taken forever, but there's way more stuff that's been dead for even longer. Pretty much anything before 2007 has been dead for just as long, if not longer
@@HyperCharge You kinda just reminded me that Nintendo has been stagnant on innovating on many of their old ideas for over a decade now... That’s sad.
@@Nickk7878-v8t That's why they abandon a lot of their series, if they can't find away to innovate on the series, why bother continuing???????
@@orangeslash1667But innovation doesn't always have to be necessary, right? Otherwise, it could ruin the overall experience of the game (especially the post 64 SF games) and not make it fun for everyone.
@@jahmirwhite7807 Isn't innovation the reason Mario and Splatoon keep going???
Not helping matters is that If Miyamoto wanted to make another SF, he would have to find a third party company to make it. Even SF 3ds was made by Q games.
Bro these videos are hysterical love them!!! 🤘🤘🤘 Look forwards to seeing if you do an f Zero video keep up the good work
I missed the notification, but.... AYYYY HYPE TRAIN
I have no hope for Nintendo pulling their head out of their ass.
More like the Star Fox fandom should pull their heads out of their asses! It sure is one of the most immature, indecisive, and toxic fandoms in all of video gaming!
I don't see what's wrong with zero's walker and honestly? the third person view in zero which is what I ALWAYS use is fine
aren't there only like....2 land master boss fights?
wouldn't say zero was bad not sure what you mean by "scrolling corridors" though
guard wasn't bad either
Ya know, I actually played Star Fox 64 without the rumble pak because the copy I got didn't come with one.
You missed out, man.
I never had Star Fox 64 as a kid so I missed out too
I'm pretty sure "Star Fox 64 3D" sold pretty will considering it recently got a "Nintendo Selects" reprint.
Gyro controls would've been cool if it were used in conjunction with the right analog stick, because gyro works better in conjunction with the sticks to make precise movements because sticks are good for larger camera movements.
You're 100% correct on Star Fox Assault having the multiplayer as its focus: it was originally going to have an arcade version and sport online multiplayer as a selling point, both of which got axed. As for Command, I'm shocked you didn't mention its biggest problem: it's boring as fuck because it's the same shit for way too long, with no variety in mission objectives or enemy and level design. I won't go on about Zero, but it stands out to me as one of the few games where I actively struggled with the controls and consciously decided to put it down.
If Star Fox wasn't always distracted by game-consuming gimmicks, we'd probably have cool, organic features like full co-op, ship upgrades, galaxy exploration, smart use of on-foot sections, online leaderboards, and actually interesting stories. The absence of co-op especially pisses me off because it's a fucking series about a group of four pilots and it _still_ hasn't let you and your friends save the galaxy together!
Star fox 2 + Star Fox Assault + Star fox 64?
@kurokamina8429 That's basically Zero in a nutshell now that you think about it.
Y'know, I don't give a crap about Star Fox.
But I still feel sorry for all of you who love this franchise. This would never happen to Zelda or Mario. At least it's not as bad as the F-ZERO situation.
The only people I will ever trust to make another StarFox game is the very dedicated fans, (much like the people who made Sonic Mania) yes the series is in that situation.
Yikes! If they ever decide to..reboot Star Fox for the 3rd time, then what they need to do is just make a new game that introduces ground missions, and, like what Ubisoft did with the boys in Starlink, let us be able to play the other characters-it is called Star Fox, after all. For love of Pete, don't retell the story of Star Fox setting out to kill Andross and weaken his squadron. They can reference those events, like what The Batman did. And, I hope they will bring Krystal back, just...make her better. Her backstory is great, just use it to flesh out her character throughout the games.
@@jacindaellison3363 They did it's called Splatoon 2, so Nintendo may abandon Starfox because of it. Just like Nintendo abandoned F-zero for Mario Kart 8.
It reminds me of the Twilight episode the (obsolete man).
@@orangeslash1667I don't get this argument at all considering that nintendo has multiple platformer, multiple rpgs, Adventure games, and brought back f zero with 99. So I find this statement invalid.
@@kurokamina8429 Miyamoto stated that he has not interest in making another Starfox unless he can come with a new gameplay idea for it.
SF is based on arcade shooters, which have been dead since 2005, mostly because of how short they are now a days.
Since Nintendo has Splatoon 2, an online fast paced shooter with multiplayer, why bother with SF??
Even if Nintendo wanted to make another SF they would have get a third party company to make it, like Assault and Zero. As Nintendo in house are too busy with other projects.
The good news is that I recommend Rocket Knight Adventures: Re-sparked!, and Bot Vice there like Star Fox Assault in 2d.
There's this game called Elsie that looks cool, but it's sadly not out yet.
@@orangeslash1667 that statement no longer matters now. Nintendo is currently giving young blood a shot on their IPS and miyamoto himself is busy with the park and other stuff. Miyamoto can approach of letting someone younger have a Crack at starfox.
Technically speaking arcade shooters were dead if not dying as early as the first game and they were successful. Also for something that died in 2005, they choose to allow sakurai to make kid icarus uprising which is an on rail shoot for the 3ds in 2013 was it? That games a massive cult following and people would love to see it return. But unfortunately it probably won't as it was a one of thing for sakurai. But it's important because not only was it an on railer shooter but it was also a 3rd person shooter which is what assault is. All it really needs to do is be polished, have an excellent story, and multiplayer.
I'm perfectly fine with nintendo not working on it themselves. I trust Bandai Namco or literally any other 3rd party developers with starfox more then nintendo. And metroids been doing well if mercury steam so that's a plus really.
Again this statement is one big pile of shit because they have more then just one platformer, more then one adventure game, more then one rpg game. StarFox and splatoon play nothing alike. Starfox has space ships, tanks, variety of weapons in a sort of battle royal arena. Splatoon is more similar to like plants vs zombies where its team based and trying to take over the most turf with your ink. They look and sound nothing alike.
And don't do that recommending stuff. It's annoying.
Assault is the one I wanna play the most but Nintendo don't wanna give me the chance. Shoutouts to Starfox 2 release though
As someone who really wants a proper sequel to 64, I feel the pain in this video, even thought I don't agree with all of it. Sadly, that's probably not going to happen. With the exception of a small jump with 643D, every new game since 64 has sold less than the predecessor, culminating in Zero completely bombing out. Nintendo ain't gonna touch this series for a long time yet with a sales trajectory like that.
Like how Star Fox 64 is a reboot of Star Fox snes i think they could've made Star Fox reboot of Star Fox 2 which would be a true sequel to Star Fox 64 back then. And sure they may had to change some stuff like changing the villain since Andross would be dead in 64 but you know.
Are you suggesting a reboot of Star Fox 2 that is more in line with 64 (or Zero) as the next game in the storyline?
Star Fox 64 is personally my favorite game of all time, and as soon as I get my new Switch (my old one blue screened, it would’ve been cheaper to just get another one) I’m absolutely doing another playthrough or five
Nintendo making a actually good Star Fox game is like trying to make a kid eat vegetables for the first time
