Ah, that one was tough. Not as tough as Escape from Fest, though. I think that's the only mission I didn't get a gold on.

I couldn't get through Sullust on the 64 and then somehow a few years later beat it on the PC version using the keyboard.

WELP. Delayed to Q1 2016.

I made a big decision last week.

We have been developing Star Fox Zero for Wii U with the aim of releasing it this year. Although we felt that the development had been progressing well, we now believe that we will need a little more time to work on areas such as the unprecedented discovery that we want players to experience in the game by using two screens, and further polishing the level designs and perfecting the tone of the cut scenes.

While we have already reached the stage where it would be technically possible to release the title in time for the year-end holiday season, we want to polish the game a bit more so that players will be able to more smoothly grasp the new style of play that we are proposing.

To the people looking forward to the launch of the game this holiday season, I am very sorry.

Star Fox Zero is going to bring new game play and experiences that take it far beyond the framework established by Star Fox 64. All the members of the development team are doing our best so that the final product will not betray your expectations. And the game will not be delayed for a very long time – we're aiming to launch the game in Q1 2016. Please stay tuned for further announcements.

Golds in Rogue Squadron? Oh please, those were nothing. Go for the platinum medals in Battle for Naboo if you want to really test if you're a man (hint: you probably aren't).

I hope I'm not alone in this, but I think the way motion controls are implemented is actually pretty cool. Its like a "three-stick" shooter.

Nintendo Direct footage: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mzwPUAXsvH4
Official website gameplay: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xOeg589SJM

Noticeable are some graphical improvements, the aiming reticle assuming an eight-sided star shape at points (charging?), new HUD, and bombs are back in.

It says he's co-directer? Platinum seems a bit more involved in the game than what other people were saying.

One Nation, Under God.
W101 had a co-director from Nintendo but noone ever talks about that guy (including Kamiya) because in these situations the other director is more of a supervisor/producer than someone who takes point on the entire project; the job is more about relaying and realising requests than making creative decisions, even though I'm sure they have plenty and that Nintendo's open to listening to them.

She is a fox girl with big tits who wears a bikini. It is not difficult to understand where her fanbase lies.

I agree with a redesign, like completely.
I just wish she wasn't a fox/wolf/cat or whatever she was. Why not a different animal like a pangolin or a penguin or something. I just feel like she was designed to pander to furry community a little too much.

Miyu the Lynx and Faye the poodle.

In some ways Kat/Crystal are like a redesign of Miyu except she seemed a bit more interesting :v:

I mean, its a good game, but its 40 dollars for a 4 year old remake of an 18 year old game. Do nintendo games just not go down in price?

I know I should want a new game instead of a re-make but the truth is, if they tried something different they would probably just gently caress it up.
