I wouldn't be shocked since the button dedicated to it can just be remapped to another button and even most normies who have NSO would have did that for an easy thumb click button press ala some first party xbox controllers and many third party controllers in general

Complete look at the Star Fox Team in the new photorealistic art style:

I'm not totally sold on Nintendo going full "RE Engine" with these designs, particularly where their anatomy is concerned, but I'll say that I really like the high level of detail on their outfits. It's probably the most detailed their flight jackets and pilot gear have ever looked.

Also, there are some insanely small artistic details that they added that I appreciate, like how Falco's blaster is holstered in a way that implies he's a cross draw, and how James McCloud in the trailer--in lieu of having the "scouter" headset that the other characters have--has holographic HUD appearing from within the inside of the lens of his aviator glasses.

Cool stuff, all things considered.

I actually like the design that they are going with in the game. What I really want, is a Star Wolf game. That’s one of my biggest wish for Nintendo is to have a damn Star Wolf game. But the voice actor recently died so he probably wouldn’t sound the same.

Miyamoto says they aren't making a new f-zero game because they ran out of ideas but then releases the 5th remake in the last 20 years of the same shitty game.
Did 2 and assault/command rape miyamoto's mom or something?

The Star Fox series seems to be a personal passion project for Miyamoto in terms of Nintendo's franchises, alongside Pikmin.
 
Just for the sake of comparison here, we went from this:

and later this:

and just a month ago, this design from the Mario Galaxy movie:

to now this:

The scruff around his neck gives his face a more "aged" almost fat-looking appearance, and that in combination with the more animal-like features (and some of the more lackluster delivery with the dialogue) makes Fox look bored. This design just doesn't match the same energy of the original "cocky, adventure-loving flyboy mercenary" the older design gave off. I'm also sure they'll "tone down the dialogue for this remake as well. We won't get lines like "cocky little freaks" or Pigma taunting Fox with "Daddy screamed real good when he DIED!"


Hell, we know that isn't even true because we LITERALLY SEE that fateful betrayal in the prologue of this remake, instead of it being a quick, poignant detail in that serious opening monologue delivered by Ja Green (same voice actor for Leon) that was so obviously referential to the Star Wars opening crawl sequences. I feel like it just detracts from the experience when they just show you a rushed betrayal sequence; kind of feels like they just animated it for the sake of having it in the remake. Also the new Pigma reminds me unfortunately of the fat pig voiced by Seth Rogan in that God-awful new Animal Farm animated movie, which is unfortunate timing. The less said about the furry mocap avatars, the better. Apparently there are unlockable accessories you can overlay over your webcam feed, like Falco's beak over your mouth? Christ, just manufacturing another generation of furries at this rate.

I can maybe see some longevity in this game if they bother to add a few more modes/levels for the multi-player aspect. Dogfighting against other people takes me back to the Star Fox Assault multiplayer, which I enjoyed a lot with my friends. Currently the game is listed as $50 digital on Nintendo's website, so I guess we should be lucky it wasn't $70. To any F-Zero fans still holding out hope: be grateful this hasn't happened to you. Better your franchise end on a high note than get rebooted as "Unreal Engine 5, realistic fur and slime texture furry abomination". I'm debating whether or not this puts Star Fox as lower than Sonic at this point; maybe that's a bit too harsh?
