You think on-rail shooters are more popular than racing games?
Oh yeaaahhh sounds freaky I like that shit. Freaking moist right now.
Hopefully this banishes the idea of another Mario Kart sequel within the next several years back to hell where it belongs.

Maybe retro has people planting fake leaks so we go into E3 with low expectations and they blow us away with something awesome and new.
This sounds more fun than anything Nintendo fans have come up with honestly.
Wow, from all Nintendo IPs working on Starfox?
It may be nintendo's worst in both characters and gameplay. But this is consistente with emily tease (people disliking the IP or the genre).
Still curious since it could be a good racing game, but knowing it's Starfox definetly Lost a Lot of interest. (at least it isnt mass effect furry edition).

Star Fox: Landmaster Grand Prix.
I never knew I wanted this... until right now! Thanks E3 rumors!! All aboard the hype train.

Okay... the Eurogamer article now makes me less sure that this is fake.
That hub world better be mindblowing.

I'm just trying to gauge the quality a 4 year in development retro starfox game would be, like how GOOD can this be to make up for the fact that its a racing spinoff from a company that shipped a mario kart last year on the same console
Ehhhhhh...
But you know, need to see in motion.
was honestly hoping for more Donkey Kong wether 2D or 3D. Or a new IP.

What I don't get is why Star Fox?
They almost certainly could have had identical gameplay if they used the F-Zero IP, and would have had ENORMOUS hype from simply being "The Return of F-Zero"
But they go with Star Fox, a franchise as equally niche as F-Zero and hot off the heels of the mediocre Zero? Just...why?

Tropical Freeze is just okay? I've been playing it and really just not getting what the big deal is.
Erm I didn't say onrails shooter. Have you actually read my post, I even have examples shooter like Warhawk and Battlefront 2. Are those games on rails?
Captain Falcon continues begging for scraps after just getting by on his smash brothers pay checks. It's kinda sad the captain has been in more smash games than F-zero games
Honestly, i hope this is fake. Can't speak for everyone but this would be the last thing i would want lol
Imo there's a difference, Mario + Rabbids was a Ubisoft game, but with this rumor, we're talking about one of Nintendo's own western dev studios ...
I don't want to feed into cliche gamer rage, but this seems specifically designed to mess me up:
1. Star Fox Spinoff (I guess Nintendo didn't get the memo from Federation Force that you shouldn't do spinoffs for series not in good standing)
2. A Sci-Fi Racer that isn't F-Zero (I imagine this would be more flying than driving though)
3. Retro studios working on either of the two
It's goddamn Retro Fucking Studios, so they'll probably kill it. But I can't help but realize this makes me feel the way the ultra-hardcore, close minded metroid fans felt about DKCR when it was announced.

This whole "you guys say you don't want this but you'll love it" thing is weird predictive backlash
Like I can simultaneously think "well, Retro makes great things so this will probably be great" and also "I wish Retro was using that great talent to make a different great thing"

The guy's only claims to fame are leaking TMNT & Enchantress for Injustice 2 as well as Base Goku & Base Vegeta for DBFZ. He's been wrong more often than not. The only reason why we aren't disregarding him here is because of Eurogamer.
if you think f-zero is more popular than starfox right now I've got bad news for you : hell no it's not
starfox is a much more known ip than f-zero at the moment, it makes sense
I mean its fine and all but this is what they have been working on all this time??? A little disappointing.
If it is true or not, I could see a Star Fox Racing game working. You either fly with an Airwing or drive on the ground with the Landmaster. The game could be about shooting enemies or obstacles, flying through narrow paths and hitting oppoents. Getting hit or run into something slows you down, while hitting enemies gives you a boost. This would be different to Mario Kart or F-Zero.
Starfox is a rail shooter and a racing game is mostly about following a track ... So the mix makes sense. Also is there actually a racing rail-shooter? This could be a fresh idea.

I love the F-zero characters, the cheesy tone it has, and the incredible music it has
F-zero is my favorite racing game and this news feels like a stab in the heart
I think this sounds pretty damn cool. Can't wait to see it if true. I could very easily imagine this concept coming close to how 64 worked anyway. Linear levels as race tracks where you can still shoot obstacles and fulfill side objectives.
A "race" doesn't have to be a circuit.

It's the greatest goddamn 2D platformer ever to grace the face of this earth.
This is 100% going to happen, but damn if I don't actually feed into the first thought this time. I preemptively know I'm a fool.
I hope it's true, I want another Nintendo racing on the Switch, I love MK8 but I've already played it on the WiiU a lot.
But why don't do a F-Zero if they want F-Zero style?
If the game is about Arwing races (flying vehicle racing) it's OK, but if it's emulating the F-Zero style sounds really dumb using Starfox instead...
