Is Star Fox anyone else's least favorite major Nintendo IP?

Probably. It's one of the most consistently disappointing series ever. The formula seems perfect, yet they can never make a good game. They should let another studio or third party work on it
Not much of a Starfox fan but I still far prefer it to Animal Crossing, Pikmin, and Mario Party.
You pretty much said it as it is.
Star Fox as a character has potential, but the games after the 64 era were lackluster. Miyamoto really needs to take a step back and think hard and deep on how to make an interesting new entry, or just leave it to someone else.
Pokemon to me seems like it never changed. The same old formula. It's not my thing but to fans apparently it scratches a certain itch so at least to them the games have been consistently good.
Find me a Star Fox fan who thinks the games have been quality from Adventures to Zero.
Yeah, I haven't really cared for it much since the SNES entry, which was more interesting to me as a technology showcase for the system than it was as a game. SF64 didn't really do much for me either, and tbh, I haven't played any of the other entries since then. A Starfox game with the quality/approach of a Descent or Freespace could be quite intriguing though...
I've come around on them. I have always adored their character designs. They're so incredibly charming, I want more from it.
I think the least favorite is probably Kid Icarus

I want to come in here and mouth off at people shitting on Star Fox but then I remember that Star Fox shat all over itself first.
I hope Star Link is cool.

I like the IP. Just not any of the games, mostly due to the style of gameplay. I have little interest for linear shooters. But I really like the characters and the world and want to play an adventure game based on it. SFA is mediocre.
StarFox only had one good game in the franchise and that was the first one.
So unless you were around for that you'd have no reason to care for StarFox.
Personally DKC and Kirby are the ones I care for the least.

Star Fox 64 is the one behind a glass case in the hall of fame.
This is a strange question. There are Nintendo IPs I don't care about and ones I do care about.
I don't, however, have any desire to rank that IP's I don't care about to find out which is my least favorite.
Star Fox is an IP I do not care about, for what it's worth. On rails shooters are not for me.

Yes.
Star Fox is a bad series with few highlights, a ton of mediocre to bad games and its multiple "second chances" definitely leave me scratching my head. They've killed/shelved better series

I love Star Fox. Back in my early internet days, I used to run with the name FoxMc316.
Kirby might be might least favorite.

Nope, Fire Emblem is mine. It might be great on the gameplay front. But from an aesthetic standpoint it has zero of the charm, endearment, and memorability that all of the other Nintendo first party titles have. It's generic anime fantasy stuff and just very bland. Every day I wish Advanced Wars had beat it out as the dominating strategy tactics Nintendo title that got popular.
Yeah I think I'm going to go with star fox. Hopefully the next game in the series involves puppets and the gameplay is revamped
Animal Crossing I'm not sure. Mario Party has been pretty bad
I think there should be a difference in franchises that people don't care fore and franchis s that barely have a good game.
Wild considering Pikmin is one of there more consistent franchises.

I love Star Fox's world, it's probably one of my top Nintendo worlds, but they need to give it the attention it deserves instead of using it as an experiment / rehash of 64.
The experimental side of things have gone really bad or just mediocre. Assault was a step in the right direction, they need to continue and expand on that. It always seemed like 64's natural evolution.
But yeah, character and world wise they're some of Nintendos best.

Its not just you. I've never been a huge fan of Star Fox. It just never clicked with me. I do hope they release a new one soon so the fans can play it. I know people miss it dearly
If I knew how to pronounce the OP's name I would curse it with vigor and gumption.
I played it for the first time in 1997 after playing 64.
I thought it looked horrendous. It looked like absolute shit compared to Descent and Quake, which I had played years earlier (though I understand Star Fox came out a bit earlier), so it wasn't at all impressive for early 3D for me either.
I'm not the type of person to that subscribes to games "aging" either. I thought Star Fox felt stiff and not particularly fun. I had similar complaints with Descent in 1994. Really I didn't feel like it had anything going for it other than "Ooooh, 3D on the Super Nintendo."
Overall it was just very underwhelming to me as someone who had already been playing much better shooters that all released within a year or two after Star Fox. I also had a few light gun games on the NES and Wolfenstein 3D on PC which I felt were more fun too.
I also thought the original F-Zero sucked, though X and GX are amazing.
Star Fox is probably one of my favorites. Star Fox 64 was such a cool game. I even dig the snes one.
I think it's one of Nintendo's biggest mishandled properties, but I really enjoy most of the games despite their big, often inexcusable flaws.
I still hope for more proper entries to the series.
It's a shame such well-designed furry waifus have gotten so little exposure.

This should be banned because of how wrong it is in every level.
Animal Crossing, Pokemon, Kirby all fall before Starfox in my opinion. Ive just never had and interest, nor pull to try them at all.
The only thing that Yoshi holds over Starfox is the incredible Yoshis Island on the SNES. Thats probably a qualifier for my top 10 game of all time!
