@AstroTheGamosian I like Fox the hot shot but I guess I see your point about Falco. If there were a movie line for Star Fox, I feel Krystal ought to be saved for the sequel where she can shine after the main cast has been established. Its why not to include her in the 64 reboots.

Sakamoto might get his wish

@NintendoWife Fair, not everyone will get or take to it. Just like not everyone took to Breath of the Wild for Zelda. Still both Breath after the Wii U and Bananza after the OG switch have brought them back into the limelight after a bunch of side stuff and rereleases. Both won't be perfect.

@NintendoWife Bananza is a sleeper hit. Remember breath of the Wild $30m, that took about 6 years after release. And Mario Odyssey took almost 8 to get that far. Maybe Bananza doesn't do that well much but its not even a year old yet.

If Star Fox ever gets a movie, I hope another Universal Studio does it. Let Illumination handle the Mario universe and give Star Fox to a different company like Dream Works.

@NintendoWife And Nintendo Tokyo the Mario Odyssey team doing Donkey Kong Bananza as their next project instead of an odyssey sequel, Nintendo and Universal choosing Donkey Kong as the next theme park expansion on and unleashing all that in the same year wasn't risky?

Donkey Kong? There was that trademark for a Donkey Kong motion picture filed last year. And DK has been riding that wave with Bananza, Returns HD, and the theme park expansion.

I haven't. But I'd like to. I wrote it off at the time, 5 years after 64 3d with nothing in between, they reimagine Lylat Wars yet again to tech demo the Wii U 4 years too late? While implimentsing both the SF1 and 2 aspects. It was just wrong time. It was what Star Fox Zero represented that turned me off. Using Star Fox 64 as a crutch to sell hardware gimmicks. A practice I was fine with the 3ds doing because it had been a long time, and the series had stuff going on in the 2000s, and the 3ds gimmicks were mandatory.

@AstroTheGamosian Never know. I will say, I like Krystals odds the most, Miyu and Fay, a little bit less but still could. Don't know about Amanda or Lucy. And Fara being a comic book character, they don't really get game treatment. But with Pauline and Dixie being in the Donkey Kong push. Peach and Zelda being leads, Xenoblade X DE and Rosalina in the new Mario Wonder content. There maybe hope for the women of this series yet.

@AstroTheGamosian Then maybe have writers who will treat the characters with respect. Panther doesn't have to flirt with Krystal nor does she need to be pretty much a Damsel in Distress like in Adventures and can still be pro active member like Assault. Its execution. I feel Krystal has the strongest chance, especially with Nintendo pushing their other series female representation. Peach and Zelda being starring leads, putting Rosalina in Mario Wonder, Dixie and Pauline in the latest Donkey Kong push. a chance, if this new Star Fox game isn't another take on Lylat Wars. Don't know about Lucy and Amanda. Kind of a stretch to bring Fara from an over 30 year old obscure comic book back.

@AstroTheGamosian I'm with you there. Modernization of the gameplay and re updating the team with Krystal. Heck Miyu and Fay as well. And bring Panther back

Regarding content
Not another retelling of 64, they've done that in the 2010s and lose.
Bring non 64 characters back and upping the cinematics
Maybe the robust online, and soundtrack callibur of assult.
If it is a new classic on rails shooter, I want some modernization.
Real Time strategy or on foot which is what I said about Assault and 2.
Letting us play as other pilots and the unique planes like command.

Star Fox 2 and Assault felt lik like neet little places to take the series. I haven’t played Starlink but open galaxy might be the injection. Making Star Fox 64 2 just doesn’t seem viable enough in 2026. Rail Shooters like Wild Blue Skirs, Fur Squadron and Zodiac thrive as INDIES. But a home console experience now. They can’t rely on the same old ideas of 1997. At least not as the back bone

While not my favorite version of Wolf. (Grant Goodeve). He is Iconic and contributed to him greatly like Rick May for Peppy. Best of hope for his family.

@Daniel36 I understand the process isn't done all at once, its just when they say wrapping up filming, I wasn't sure they meant all the scenes were taken or if they were edited too.

Seems a bit of a stretch. We're more then a year away and their done filming already? I mean is that normal?

I feel what got this Ganondorf the edge was Matt Mercer. The design and writing have note too. But this is the first time its all come to life by voice.

@Rainz Echoes of Power.

Well, kind of makes me wonder if everyone was too quick to jump on this show up means NCU bandwagon. Miyamoto only wanted this on a whim of curiosity.

Excited and anxious about both of these if real.
Ocarina of Time: a glorified 3d situation where its just prettier and snappier. Or a full on reimagining a la FF7 where the approach is just more more more. Making the world bigger when its size was never the problem, or more dungeons where there were already a good amount, and had good pacing and synergy to the flow. Though I do see animations and cinematics and deeper story being a good thing.

Star Fox. A brand new game. Nate said classic, but that could entail multiple things. I know he could be talking about the 90s style of game play that is onrail of SNES and 64, but I wonder if thats low key a monkeys paw situation like it seems that way but there are twists like Assault and Command. The latter I've never played. I think new means no reimage of 64 again, thankfully as they've done that already and it never wins.

The new Gaurdians of the Galaxy is looking awfully animated. Star Lord a bit pluckier since the last time we saw him. Captain Marvel joins the frey, though a blue dress for some reason. Rocket Racoon makes his return though a lot foxier now.

The movie critic in me doesn't really like Mario movies being a shared nintendo universe beyond DK, Wario and Yoshi, leading to a Avengers/Justice League esk Smash Brothers movie. But the Star Fox fan in me is just glad the Pilots are getting acknowledged, and hope full that more will be done with them on this movies .success

You have got to be kidding me. They're doing a shared universe and Fox Mccloud is involved

I'm in the middle of Xenoblade X, didn't jump on it till I got a Switch 2 and done with Bananza. Now I can enjoy it at its full potential. Hope it gets a sales boost for this.

That is an exciting prospect. Though are they talking a spin off in line with the Xeno series, Or are they actually going to tackle the next or a future mainline 3d Zelda title? I could see the potential in the latter.

of all the Links I saw Ben being based off looks wise. Twilight was the one I thought the least.

Later down the line. Sonic Racing Crossworlds will be the game I get this time soon.

I'm feeling the look for them both. Link and Zelda, having his green and her blue make a good compromise for both sides of the fan base. I kind of thought Bens dark brunette hair would've worked but he looks good in dyed or wig blonde hair. There keeping Zelda brunette though. They were both spicy and mild at the same time.

@Truegamer79 Would've rather he had a hood. I think the green cap only looks good in the games when he's a child.

@Lady_rosalina Link and Zelda as co adventurers has been a desire of the fandom for years. People wanted Zelda to have more agency but still give Link a point. Them being partners answers both prayers.

I'm glad to see them working together and not adapting any one game. Games are way to big and have too much scope to fit into a movie, not to mention predictable. Link and Zelda as a duo is just the point I wanted. And great costume choices. This is looking better and better the more I see.

@Zeugziumy I'm up for voice acting in Metroid actually. By Samus on occasion and whatever remnant of a civilization we come into contact with, like Quiet Robe. Its just soldiers that scream pick me are not people that I'm interested in hanging out with. Hopefully turn off their in game dialogue.

I don't use a third party dock. But its really weird that there are these mixed reports about them working/not working after the update. How is that.

@Fabilous Ghibli doesn't do video game adaptations. Miyazaki doesn't care for the industry.

Is Akira really the first time we saw that power slide stop?

Funny, didn't Wes Ball claim the Zelda movie wasn't going to be like Lord of the Rings? The film location hurts that statement.

As expected. Before skeptics talk about how bad an idea it is. You need to understand something. Nintendo's IP are part of pop culture now and have been for a long time. Mario, Donkey Kong, Zelda, Pokemon, and several others. They aren't just children's play things anymore. And as pop culture, them entering into other mediums is part of the deal and tapping into that potential. It was clear when Miyamoto gave Mario another chance after Mario 93 which put them cinema for decades.

Maybe a mode outside of racing. Maybe a more arena based mode like MKW free roam and Kirby Air's City Trial. I'm hoping for rather than another paid wave of non gaming mascots, it ought to be free Sonic characters like Tikal, Infinite, Gmeral, Ariem from Dream Team, Marine from Rush Adventure or Sticks. Classic cast and Comic books are fine but the more obscure cast should by priority 1.
It feels like a half of the game are Sonic characters and the other half being some crossovers. The Sega stuff was a long time coming and I'll extend grace to Megaman and Pacman. I'll even extend to SpongeBob and the Ninja Turtles. But not so much Avatar.

@JR150 I'm still pulling for Rouge to be in the 4th film like the creators kept intending. And if we want to bring up American Sonic characters regarding the gals. Sally Acorn, Nicole and Bunnie from SatAM through Archie which in a way I can see being a blueprint for future characters that came along.

Oh how far we've come from Sonics sh**y friends era. I remember a time when everyone after 06 that all the extra's were considered a blight on the series, Tails and maybe Knuckles being the exceptions. Never mind that getting rid of them made the series devoid of personality and devolved as a series. Never mind that Advanced and Rush and now Frontiers showed how Sonic's friends can lead to replayability on top of being fun to play. Now people have preferences for more Sonic characters than crossover characters in Crossworlds. We look forward to the movies adding more as we go forward.

I mean If the next Luigi, DK, Yoshi, Peach games sucked, would people say they shouldn't have games made anymore and blame the characters they did like Sonics group?

@Serpenterror okay

You're far from alone in that sentiment. Thats all I'm hearing each day.

@Robot99 I see what you mean

Lanara, probably going to be a warrior in this game. After Agatha and Ravio in the original HW, along with Hestu in AoC. I wouldn't rule anything out. Also the anime cat face eh? Go figure.

Bananza arguably deserves it.

@illmatic20xx I never believed any of them were going to kill eachother. Mario Kart has brand recognition and the first Mario Kart game to do an open world and Sonic Crossworlds is multiplatform with cross play. Not to mention all the collaboration stuff.

I'm not surprised Mario sells better then Sonic in any territory. Being the bigger brand with a console manufacturer. But Sonic doesn't need to sell better. Just be worthwhile. To the internet, Sonic Crossworlds better but to the consumer, Mario Kart is grander. All to distinct.

@SpaceboyScreams According to Nate from Nintendo Prime. The themes and music were leaked in files. Datamined.

Glad we're moving on. When I first saw him in the 2019 direct, doing that whole joke on Bowser I thought it was a good sign of things to come. But he lacks the charisma of his predecessor. Never outreaches and only around to accept game of the year trophies. Nintendo of America has lost that spark without Reggie and Bill. Here's hoping she can bring half of what they brought.

People who think this means the money and finance issue like pricing the products are going to be fixed are kidding themselves. Thats a broken economy and todays finances. Only a little of it being mitigated is the best I can hope for.

Cue the "this must be a sign for Ocarina of Time remake" banter.
