The same studio behind the Metroid Prime trilogy, Donkey Kong Country Returns, Tropical Freeze and they also helped Nintendo with Mario Kart 7.
These are all critically acclaimed games, but for some reason people here are expecting another Federation Force lol
The game that no-one asked. Goddamn Ninty just give Retro some ambitious project, they have always delivered!
Most definitely, a good star fox game this time too please.While I'd have preferred Diddy Kong Racing (or a real Star Fox game) I'd still be pretty excited about this.
People say F-Zero is dead. The only reason it's dead and Star Fox still goes is because of Miyamoto lol.
Star Fox sells like shit as well in the post-N64 era.People behaving like FZero is a legitimate franchise LMAO!
That franchise has been dead for eons and let's not ignore the fact that the last game on that franchise sold like shit so where were all of you lot preaching the good will of FZero when it was flopping harder than a fish out of water?
I wish Nintendo would just let Star Fox die. Zero was the final nail in the coffin for me. And now Retro is potentially stuck with it, after not having anything for the last four years? This is so disappointing. Even if the game is great (which, given it's Retro, probably will be) I just won't care anymore.
Retro feels like such a mismanagement asset.
Yup. Provided it actually shows at E3.This is for the best. Now you guys can get through the stages of grief before E3 instead of at E3.
Even Xenoblade sold 1.3 million.I doubt they spent 5 years on a game only 500k people will buy, at best.
Dark Cloud.. relax bro.The same people who want to say "oh it's DK all over again" no it's not. Don't tell me that.
DKC is atleast a MAIN title to the series. This is a spinoff to a almost dead series and it's racing. A genre that's very limited.
Eh, I'm not really sure I'd say that.
Captain Falcon at least is a fan favorite character just because of Smash, people love the guy.
I've never heard anyone think any of Star Fox's characters are amazing.
Plus a lot of F-Zero is a blank slate. They'd have tons of freedom.
This.Retro has more than earned my trust, and respect. I'll wait to see this before I judge, as most should.
This game could be awesome.
the reality that a lot of you don't want to accept is that starfox has a much more likeable and marketable universe than f-zero
Donkey Kong Country Returns was rumored to be in development by Retro before it's E3 announcement.
Not "proven incorrect" basically means they have the entire lifespan of the Switch for their gotcha moment. That's absurd
We don't actually know it's a spin off. Racing games are not any more limited than side scrolling platformers. Metroid and Donkey Kong were both dead by the time Retro got their hands on them and revived them.The same people who want to say "oh it's DK all over again" no it's not. Don't tell me that.

I feel like this E3 is going to be insane all around.
How much did ARMS sell again?what is easier to market to the nintendo audience : a bunch of weirdly designed characters (with the sole exception of the godlike captain falcon) or a cartoon-like universe made of animals that had several reps in smash bros games ?
and as you said, the f-zero universe is blank, they'd have to start from scratch
I have faith this will be really good at a minimum but I am chuckling at the thought of new Retro hires going in on their first day and being told they're working on a star fox racer.
I don't remember Tropical Freeze, at least not when it first released on wii U, wanna know why? That platform was loaded to the brink with platformers by the time DK:TP was out, no matter how good the game was, there's a reason it flopped.

Chill.
They hate it with a passion.
Star Fox has been on a faster decline than F-Zero.People behaving like FZero is a legitimate franchise LMAO!

I keep forgetting how awful the art was in Command. Can't stand its style.
His description is flawed; we already know people don't give a shit about Captain Falcon's racing or his buddies.
