So, what, $400 now for a used handheld game console?

Fucking lol man, that's still a rip-off.

I heard a biting critique recently which kindov sums up much of the issue (besides the greed, D.I.E. support, rent-forever taxes, trying to be Disney etc.). A lot of goytendo's output (even since the Switch 1) has been handheld-tier games, but the consumer is being charged console game prices. And those console game prices continue to go up via inflation (currency debasement).

Nintendo has been pissing me off lately like nothing else. The Thousand Year Troon, the frankly ridiculous price of the Switch 2 and it's games, the lacking line up of said Switch 2....but when I heard rumors about a new Star Fox game, I got thinking about all of the ways they could evolve the on-rails gameplay. Maybe they'll bring back Miyu or Krystal! .... only for it to literally be 64 again, and the characters looking worse on top of that....I think this is it. The event horizon. The point of no return. The point where I realize that the Nintendo I grew up with....the Nintendo I loved.....is gone. And it's never coming back. Truly one of the darkest blackpills.

This post just resonates with me. I've grown up with Nintendo stuff since the SNES days and was a loyalist to their brand up until the Switch. Even if the Wii U sold like shit and the 3DS' initial price tag was too much, there was at least something.

But the Switch's lack of a lot of original content in favor of repackaging Wii U games with minor additions, shitty joycon drift bullshit, paywalling their awful online--the list goes on; was the breaking point for me.

A new F-Zero? Fuck that, have Mario Kart where we release a update that forces you to drive our hallways.
A new DK? Okay sure, just bear in mind that we got to incorporate open world elements in it like with Zelda. Metroid too because we're totally not chasing trends or anything.
And now this. Star Fox has always been a series that Nintendo for some reason can't either do anything with themselves past 64 so they outsource it to other devs/force them to slap the IP onto it, or just re-release the same fucking game. Pokemon at least tries to mask it a bit better.

At this point I'm just contend to laughing/mocking anything else they release rather than expecting them to make an actually fun and challenging game again.

it did dampen my buzz to see that all the gameplay footage so far matches SF64 almost 1:1. I don't ask for much, but they could give us a little.

That's basically the main gripe a lot of people are having with this. It is just Star Fox 64 with the exact level structure and exact 30 year old rail-shooter mechanics with no new twists or added depth which when couple with the semi-realistic high fidelity graphics laid on top just makes the gameplay look that much more outdated. They are entirely selling the game on the added multiplayer mode. It is yet again a lot of wasted potential, how many times are they going to show us Falco going behind the waterfall and pretend this is exciting? It is so damn boring and played out.

I swear, if you are a fan of the genre it is better to buy and play any of the original and homage rail-shooters that have been made over the years in response to Nintendo's lack of diligence, at least many of these titles try to add their own spin to the formula.

Death In Abyss

EX Zodiac

FUR Squadron Phoenix

ROGUE FLIGHT

Whisker Squadron Survivor

Wild Blue Skies
 
Nintendo uploaded 30 minutes of music from the new Star Fox game on the "My Nintendo Music Player" for the system (don't even ask me what that gay shit is, it literally requires a paywall to access), but people have successfully ripped the music to YouTube.


This will mark the first Star Fox game in 21 years to use a fully-orchestrated soundtrack, and the results are pretty impressive, ngl (especially the Meteo and Star Wolf themes, which sound like they were pulled out of a Gundam sountrack).

Area 6 has never sounded better.
 
You know, is there any specific reason why they kept resetting the clock on Star Fox? Cuz as far as I can tell, shit happens it get resolved, a new retard or two climbs out of the irradiated kiddie pool on Venom to shit up everything and it get resolved in an retarded manner. And then some spastic at Nintendo decides it's time for an reboot instead of trying to invent something that's absolutely epic. Like destroying Venom, for instance.

And I eagerly accept the company's latest attempt at raising the cost of the Switch 2. I'm certainly looking forward for the outrage that it'll cause, especially if the company and their partners keeps shitting out Ubislop.

ngl, my first reaction to the new characters designs was relief that it didn't look like an indie Star Fox tribute. I like them, everyone else is wrong.

EX Zodiac is shaping up very nicely though.

I'm trying to figure out the specific reason why people want Star Fox to be a continuing, ongoing story. HARD MODE: don't mention Krystal

I fear it's going to destroy the internet if tendies figure out that every Punch-Out game has the same plot. Imagine Nintendo makes another F-Zero and it's a reboot where Captain Falcon races Evil Gay Batman for the first time instead of the twelfth time... there will be mass suicides no doubt.

I just want an good flight sim that isn't just Star Wars or anything that's related to WW2, for once. Everything that's popping just feels like it's just doing the bare minimum or it's exclusive to Chinkland

The characters are likable and the universe is barely explored. Star Fox is about a giant intergalactic war setting that involves superweapons and starfighter battles and sheit. You can Hollywood up a plot with a foundation like that without really hurting the core.

The characters in Punch-Out, meanwhile, are little more than caricatures with a health bar and the plot is as mundane as one can imagine. It's just a boxing tournament. There's really not much else you can do with that to make it "deeper "without losing the original tone and feel.

Ideally, the next Star Fox game should venture outside the Lylat system. I forget whether or not Sauria is a part of the system as is, but seeing more of the universe is a good first step.

Well, you can't have one. On the bright side, we are overall doing okay as far as rail shooters go.

I don't see why. Lots of stuff fits in a solar system. The whole Earth is in just one solar system, and you can have lots of adventures on it. Anyway, why did they make another planet with dinosaurs when Titania in Star Fox 1 already had dinosaurs?

Turning a short arcade shooter into a movie is goytendo thinking.
