Star Fox General Thread - One of Nintendo’s neglected franchises.

You guys still having this discussion??

People were talking about games similar to Star Fox. Did anyone mention Steel Diver? I just remembered it existed while playing Aquas. Steel Diver was actually awesome.

Also huge missed opportunity for the remake to have a WaW Black Cats like level where you're constantly shifting gunner positions while the whole ship takes damage and you need to move depending on the enemy location. Plus it'd be a good way to have the whole crew constantly talk to you during the mission and show that the team can be high caliber professionals sans the constant banter when the situation requires it. (Peppy or Rob advising you on where to move next, Slippy running back and forth patching the constantly breaking ship while Falco curses every time a turret overheats or runs out of ammo)

Huge missed opportunity to once again add not-Star Fox to Star Fox.

Splatoon

Not a port unless you want to argue the primary loop being endlessly repetitive like Counter Strike/Team Fortress/insert multiplayer-focused shooter here makes 2 and 3 count as ports of 1?

Oh yeah, I forgot to ask: How did everyone do their first run? I used the route I was the most familiar with to warm up. I got some of those medals by the skin of my teeth. I'm not sure if I'm just bad or it really is that hard especially to get the required amount in Aquas.

I still stand by it not being the remake I hoped for but levels actually seemed easier from what I remembered. I used to have trouble hitting the warps in Meteo on the N64; the Arwing seems to have more control than I remember when it picks up speed when I gave it a try in the remake.

I honestly wish for a Star fox crossover with the Darius series.
Or at least to work a little like that: branching levels of different difficulty leaving to a different final boss and ending each.
You play as a different character each time, whose identity and purpose during the war is gradually revealed between stages while star fox leads you, at the start of the final chapter, you finally get to know which character you have been and what exactly are your objectives, while earlier stages showcases common memories 2 or more character had.

Played my preferred route: Corneria > Sector Y (accomplish) > change route to Katina (accomplish) > change route to Sector Z (quick kill boss) > Forever Train > Area 6 > Venom 2.
