Topic: Star Fox Zero - OT

GameSpot published a feature article on Star Fox Zero today: http://www.gamespot.com/articles/breaking-limits-with-star-fo...
It's mostly stuff we already know, but it's interesting to read that the development of Bayonetta 2 gradually made the Platinum-Nintendo collaboration on Star Fox Zero possible.
Can't wait for this game.

to be honest, that doesn't surprise me too much that a highly praised game with Star Fox references on Wii U lead to them working on the Wii U Star Fox game.

@Vee_Flames: StarFox easter egg in Bayo2 was a proof of concept to show Nintendo these guys can properly handle game presentation. I mean you look at StarFox Assault by Namco, it's just an awful mess of pretty graphics on the screen. It takes more than pretty graphics to sell a game, like for example the contrast between shootable objects and the background, which the Platinum guys did extremely well...

StarFox delayed to july?

So do you think it will happen?

@jijifox: i can't think of a reason for the game too. other then adding multplayer, but thats all i can think of.

@jijifox: I could see it. I'd be okay with it too. The game needs as much polish as possible, and April is a clogged month in general as it is for multi-console owners (Quantum Break, Dark Souls III, Ratchet & Clank, Uncharted 4). July has nothing that I can think of off the top of my head.

Ratchet & Clank will have a hard time as it is, and it's betting on the movie being a hit and the $40 price tag to sell the game.

I hope not, though May instead of April would make more sense.

@IceClimbers: Just checked and right now july doesnt have any big games set for release in that month.

It's also rumored to be delayed further to be ported to the NX successor.

Eh, I'll wait for Nintendo to confirm this.
But I really hope it isn't delayed for a second time now. All I just want is a good online mode, decent amiibo support, and maybe some polishing.

Watch it not be delayed, and it just be a reverse Yoshi's Woolly World.

@Whitewatermoose: No it wouldn't because it would give less reason to get NX because of Nintendo deciding to abandon it in another 3/4 years.

@Whitewatermoose: my dad who's monkey's uncle's name is Charlie Bravo Alpha Beta Gamma knows someone who works for Nintendo that says that that sentence was the second most bizarre thing I've ever read on Nintendo Life. The first obviously being that sentence I typed above. So the Nintendoomed speculation train has stopped at the 'Nintendo games on PS5' now? When will it end!?

It's actually very likely the Wii U might actually sell more during this fiscal year than during the last. If something would sink, it must first go down. "Floating" is a more appropriate term.

You also assume that:
1. NX releases Holiday 2016. (Fact 1: we have no release date)
2. NX isn't delayed (Fact 2: mobile development recently got a considerable delay and now you talk about a delayed Star Fox)
3. It's an easy thing to port a Wii U game to NX

Is Pokken a Nintendo-published product?

NoA released Devil's Third, Mario Tennis, Amiibo party, Xenoblade X, Yoshi's Woolly World within a 3 months span.

NoE released Kirby and the Rainbow Paintbrush, Splatoon, Yoshi's Woolly World within a 2 months span.

@Whitewatermoose: The logic of "why buy for NX when it'll obviously be on the NX successor?"

So about those graphics...

...Tumbleweed blows across...

Oh so now finally there's something other than the graphics being discussed here! Hooray!

I hope it isn't delayed again. That would be ridicolous.

@Whitewatermoose: HD remasters for GC games would also decrease the drought, they've barely scraped the surface and it's the only home console not supported by Wii U. Have Paper Mario and FE bundles containing the N64/GC and GC/Wii games respectively. Let the fans know they care about F-Zero with a GX remaster, Eternal Darkness HD for those who think Nintendo is too kiddy, etc.

Last I checked this rumour was based off one listing of a smaller retailer, and bear in mind a European date has never been confirmed. So some EU retailers have placeholders like December 31st etc. In other words, I think this is worth ignoring until US retailers join in or Nintendo confirms something.

Pretty much this. Not gonna buy this until Nintendo themselves actually comes out and says something
