Where other what games didn't? Space shooters? There's loads.
Starfox games? Adventures was better.

Misunderstanding of series direction.

The original and 64 were solid on rails arcade-style shooters.

Adventures sent the series in an entirely unrelated direction, was a bad Star Fox game because of that, and was a mediocre game on top of it.

Assault attempted to revive the series original direction while making the most of Adventures, and actually did so quite well. Nintendo just didn't care, it seems, as they never gave the series another major game ever again.

Command was, again, mediocre, and while not as guilty of missing the point as Adventures, that's true here of some degree.

64 3D was a remake and while it was good, it doesn't really count as a new game.

Adventures was more Zelda than Star Fox, Assault focused way too much on the story, And the on foot missions were lackluster. Command was just fucking bad.

Both Retro Studios and Platinum games have expressed interest in a Star Fox game. I say Nintendo lets one of them have it.

>>197607641
Not him, but that's sort of the opposite of what happened with Adventures.

Mario 2 played like a Mario game when it wasn't, and Adventures didn't play like a Star Fox game when it was.

On-rails shootan with a few different vehicle segments. Occasional all-range mode fights to break up tedium.
Tons of different paths and secrets.
Cheesy story that didn't take itself too seriously.

That's all they need to do to make another good star fox game.

This and Thunderbirds are apparently what inspired Miyamoto to make Star Fox.

>>197607752
Assault was pretty fun. The multiplayer was very good and I don't remember having any problems with the on-foot sections like everybody seems to complain. It most certainly didn't turn out as good as F-Zero GX but it's still a good game.

>>197607943
It's the exact same situation.
Nintendo wants to milk a franchise without making a game so the re-skinned a different game.

>>197608198
Actually its a bit more complicated than that. Rare was working on Dinosaur Planet at the time, Towards the end of Development, Microsoft came in and started to buy out Rare, So in order to prevent Dinosaur Planet from going to the Xbox, Nintendo asked Rare to make it a Star Fox game.

SLIPPY GET BACK HERE

>>197608198
In that respect, yes.

But that's not what
>>197607581
meant. I was arguing for the point that Adventures was reskinned as a Star Fox game, but didn't feel like one, whereas Mario 2 still feels enough like a Mario game to pass as one.

>>197607641
Yes. That's true.

I will actually defend Assault. I consider it a pretty good game. Certainly not on par with 64, but then again 64 was damn near perfection. Although most of the vehicles were overdesigned as fuck.

Does Ocarina of Time feel like Link to the Past?

Flight sections were in the game, it just expanded on that with planetary exploration too.

replay value, that tied in with the harder levels

Rumor has it that the people developing Assault had to start the game over from scratch after a server crash basically fucked everything over.

>>197608576
Adventures was a action adventure RPG that happened to have some flight sections. The focus was obviously the exploration segment. It played exactly like a Zelda game.
I like the game, but it's completely different from the rest of the series. Even further than Mario 2, that has Mario in pretty much another dimension with different enemes, but the game is still a platformer.

>>197609009
So you dislike it because it isn't a rehash?

You keep on using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

I've never gotten this. I guess I'm going to play Star Fox later.

That was a good game. It's too bad nobody gave a shit about it.

>>197609863
How long do you expect an arcade shooter to be? And Star Fox 64 had massive replay value.

>>197609847
Have fun with Venom Star Wolf!

>>197609863
Each playthrough was short, but that adds to the arcadey feel of the game, which I really liked.

I've never paid for the game. I've borrowed it off friends and emulated it.

>>197610115
That is a massive difficulty spike.

Star Wolf is easy as shit, and Venom 2 is easier than 1 to get a good score in. The only really hard level is Aquas.

How would you guys feel about Retro Studios or Platinum making a Star Fox game?

>>197611449
>>197611449
A Kamiya StarFox would be the best.

>>197611605
It would be pretty crazy. But Retro has some advantages as well, namely an excellent track record in reviving Nintendo Franchises, the fact that they haven't made a bad game yet, and their excellent Art team.

>>197607172 (OP)
>Why hasn't Nintendo been able to top 64?

The fuck man, N64 is shit

>>197611595
Proof that furrys ruin everything.

It's strange due to the generation gap for some IP's Nintendo could literally take the older games add a lick of paint and claim their new and fanboys would fucking love it, I.e StarFox and F-zero

Yet they won't because they love rehashing but only when they can market a rehash gimmick

I'm in that boat as well, bosses were better, excluding Vemon space 3.

>>197612558
>Implying the Free Range mode levels weren't fun as fuck.

I think it's because they chose to do one thing and they did it right. they didnt try to put in everything they thought was popular. Mario64 was popular, but they didnt try to add in platforming because of it. it was a space shooter, and they did it solidly. the controls were responsive, there were secrets and the main game was short as fuck so it was replayable infinitely.

>>197612974
maybe the first few times you did them. The AI really didn't do anything to spice it up.

Its a shame the Furry Fandom latched onto this game. So much so that the dev team for command went to several furry fandom sites for story tips. I shit you not.

>>197613467

They tried turning Star Fox into a Space Opera when it really shouldn't have been. Team Star Fox are mercenaries/bounty hunters. How about they make a game based around that?

Uh no, a SEGA AM2 Star Fox would clearly be best. Why do you idiots always want developers handling IPs that have barely made anything like them?

>>197617005
Because you'd get a new game instead of the game the devs originally made with the Star Fox IP tacked on.

>>197617516
Why would that not be a new game? Why do you assume a developer who hasn't made anything of the sort would be good at making a game of the sort?
