Chibi-Robo and Star Fox are prime examples of "just make the same game with better graphics and more levels, it's okay!!" Instead Chibi-Robo iterates into everything except Chibi-Robo and then you get to the asshole in the room: Star Fox. Ohh you've got me going on Star Fox now; buckle the fuck up, faggots.
At this point I'm convinced that there was only one good Star Fox game, which was Star Fox. My favorite one is Star Fox 64; but let's be real, Star Fox 64 is just Star Fox with better graphics and some different levels.
And that's perfect.
What the fuck was Star Fox Assault with too many on-foot missions? What the fuck was Star Fox Command with its neat premise but poor execution? What the
FUCK was Star Fox Zero? Do I even need to bring up Star Fox Guard? And then there's Dinosaur Planet featuring Star Fox which was okay but that's not a Star Fox game, that's a Krystal game. And then instead of making some passable and fun explory adventure games with Krystal, they decide to stop making those and shoehorn her into a space ship because that makes perfect sense. Meanwhile Fox "Star Fox" McCloud spends more than half of his time running around on the ground with a useless pistol and operating warehouse equipment.
At this rate when I want variety from the same Star Fox I've been playing for almost 27 years (((27 years))) I have to burn my eyes out and play Red Alarm, which is in fact excellent and should be remade. Some classic Star Fox gameplay in crisp HD at 60fps would be incredible.
Remember: Star Fox is an arcade game at heart. Everyone seems to forget this. You're supposed to play it and replay it to get a better high score. It's not a game you play once and then act all mad about it being too short because you beat the game in an hour. That's the entire point. The newer games offer rewards and replayability but I never really wanted to replay any of those levels because it took too long and it was clunky.
And if they want to do on-foot missions, they need to be on-rails. Make it like house of the dead and you've solved the fucking problem of the last 15 years of Star Fox. All-Range Mode is supposed to be a treat for fast-moving, high-flying bosses. It isn't meant to be a vector for getting lost in a shitty labyrinth of similar corridors and falling through the map architecture.
