[@DuckSute]

It’s such a shame that Star Fox is slowly decreasing in popularity and sales are declining with every new game release. I think Nintendo should really consider an animated series, such as this video, to bring popularity back to Star Fox. This has so much potential for a great story line, action scenes, comedy, battle strategies etc. for it to become successful. Nintendo needs to realize Star Fox still has so much potential and I would hate to see the franchise come to an end.

[@GELANDAN]

The licence stills seems pretty popular, given how much the switch version of Starlink including fox fared in comparison to the other ports

[@mariotennisman]

Starlink on Switch sold 2x what SF Zero did on WiiU. Yeah, it was still the WiiU though.

[@SirSchewe]

Eh, you can blame Nintendo themselves for Star Fox's decline in popularity. They either a) rehash the same story with each game or b) use the series to experiment with horrible gimmicks, i.e. Wii U Gamepad motion controls. Ubisoft has done Star Fox a far greater justice with Starlink than Nintendo has in a long time and the sales between consoles show there's still interest in the franchise.

[@Rybellious]

We need a Star Fox movie with this animation style. Either that or an anime. That's fine too.

[@City-Hunter]

+Rybellious Not a movie, but an ongoing tv series !!!

[@Rybellious]

City Hunter Well I said movie because it would be easier to produce =P. But yeah, a show's fine!

[@gunstarr8]

I think this is an experiment because animation studios like Production I.G. try out unique diffy things. Adult Swim ,for example, does the same thing, too. AS uses Toonami as an April fools joke in 2012 to experiment with their veiwers and Toonami did came back a month later. So, it might be a possibility for Nintendo to contact Pro IG. BTW, [adult swim] contacted Pro IG much often because [as] is in collaboration with them to work on 2 sequel seasons of FLCL next year since that Pro IG bought FLCL License from Gainax and [as] also did IGPX with the studio.

[@gunstarr8]

Yeah, there might be a neutral possibility using the experiment method.

Absolutely. I hope they realized that and are working on something. Miyamoto was quoted somewhere a few months after Star Fox Zero's release in saying something like they'd never do the two screens again, due to so many people hating it (it wasn't THAT bad, but I guess people are really picky). This anime short seemed to get a decent amount of people excited, but the game itself ruined that excitement. I think more people now want an anime more than a new Star Fox game. But it'd be cool if they release both at the same time, and really take the new game to strong heights. I definitely don't want to see Star Fox die off and keep getting bad reviews.

Star fox is definitely a series that's stuck in time. An animated series like this would probably do the franchise a lot of good! There's so many adventures and ideas they could work with here. The games though.. need to change. The 64 formula was fine when it came out but there's only so many times you can milk something before people are no longer interested. With star fox assault at least there was a different enemy to take out! We need another game like that

[@jgunner280]

I think the series is pretty torn with its fanbase, and some will absolutely detest this idea. Some want it pure, N64 again, or nothing. Yet I agree with your idea to go more in the Assault way. You just can't make a big budget franchise that is sold at $50-$70 on rail shooter gameplay alone, and Nintendo doesn't seem to ackowledge a middle ground between that and mobile junk. I mean, what is that to sell in a bigger sense!? Star Fox is a huge brand, but its consistently suffered at the same time for a good reason, with no sense of a contemporary format, willing to sell SFZ at a higher price alongisde the sales of Doom '16 and Witcher 3. It needs to wake up a bit, and its not about dumbing it down or mainstreaming it, but just making it work with common sense of value and gaming. Its source of inspiration, charm, comics, and gameplay need to be fused together more, and the result is going to be bigger than a mere rail shooter. Its not like Mario, where even he after all that name recognition can barely scrap together a loved current 2D entry without some backlash. (The last "New" SMB seems to be widely meh'd at). Star Fox needs a full take off before they can get away with hiked up prices for such retro gameplay the indies have it beat at, but with the standards it set for rail shooters, it does indeed deserve better. It really does need something more like Assault and a television show byproduct. Almost the sonic method really, just less crazy game spins with every single entry. Stick to the Assault formula, and actually work with it to polish what didn't work while the outside media helps glue people to the names, plots, and characters. The games can't keep throwing themselves away though, they need to keep in mind what makes good sequels even run. The first isn't always perfect, but before it flips the table, or dumps everything good away, and inserts a gimmick, they instead hone in on the pros and cons. Star Fox never once had that chance outside of a SNES-to-N64 entry, and by this point that's not going to be enough. They need to actually figure out what they're going to do, and work with it, with markets and advertising in harmony with it. Zero was a flopped gimmick, Adventures came off a terrible misplaced title of direction that just flat out wasn't a Star Fox game, and 64/3Ds/SNES are all way too rigid and stagnate to sell as a current full priced game if it wants the traction and recognition like bigger titles that get away with being stuck in the past. They need to go back to Assault, fuse it with productions like this, and work it out. If they hit the right amount of arcady flight levels, I'm sure even the purists will cave and shut up about the land segments not being SF-enough for them while the rest of the game fleshes it out to be worth investing time and money into.

[@Mac14329]

But the 64 formula is the formula that's been a part of Star Fox since the beginning.

[@nailmontana1993]

Star Fox can be multiple types of games. Release a soft sequel to 64 , and make another "star fox adventures" type game where you're on foot , with that grounded sense playing as fox and falco at least. Smash bros shows they can be fun to play with out of the cockpit My idea for a sequel to 64: fox falco slippy and a new character (peppy retires or becomes the general or something) back in the lylat system for part of the game and then travel to a different star system to give it a fresh feel

[@neovoltron25]

I always thought that the Arwing from Star Fox 64 is more iconic.

[@Volvagia1927]

If I were to guess at what happened, beyond the knee jerk "Japan wanted to get rid of Krystal" explanation (which...maybe, but if that was the goal...why reference Sauria in the prelude short when any other hospitable planet would do?), I have an alternate explanation: Star Fox Adventures, beyond introducing Krystal, substantially changed the implied tone/feel/writing influence of Star Fox. In Star Fox/Star Fox 2/Star Fox 64/Star Fox Zero, the essential premise is "What if the X-Wing parts of Star Wars were all that mattered and starred furries?". Adventures...made it Star Trek TOS with Furries. Right on down to including TOS' staple "Everyone Except One Person is Laughing" ending. And, as much as Star Trek TOS is actually REALLY COOL, especially compared to other TV genre fare at the time (Trek's not as cool as Sean Connery Bond movies, but compared to, say, Lost in Space or Adam West Batman? BADASS), game developers were quickly, and increasingly, getting "Not TREK LEVEL nerdy." So Zero as a reboot, on a writing level, was a desperately flailing attempt to affirm "we're not Trek, we're totally not Trek, it's not that dorky to make something for this franchise" and...we're now in the middle of the longest gap between fresh Star Fox releases (7 years and counting) EVER. Yes, Zero's mechanical issues and the Wii U, at that point, being an obvious blood in the water console also hurt it massively, but...yeah, it also deserved to fail for that reason as well.

[@nickk3077]

I genuinely love this animation! It adds much more character and personality to these characters that I rarely ever see! Even though I like StarFox Zero, this game barely expanded anything on these characters! What a missed opportunity, but at least this animation exists! Plus, StarFox Assault had a great story and character development! I hope Nintendo returns to that sort of format again! I can imagine a new StarFox game that subverts expectations similar to what Kid Icarus Uprising did, by making it seem the main villain from before has come back again, along with several callbacks to that original game, just to surprise you later in with a much more interesting and dangerous threat!

Right, Nintendo... Partner with Mattel and create not just a 26 episode series with this animation studio, but the full works in terms of merchandise. I'm talking lunch boxes, action figures, sticker albums, everything. Think 80's cartoons made to sell the toys type of deal, only with higher quality animation. I'm not a Nintendo fan, but StarFox is your one IP I would buy all of the crap for and get the DVD/Blu Ray of the series in a heartbeat. Also, a web series with the Star Fox puppets would be nice.

[@MattAce70]

I love this! I wish Nintendo did more of these animations for their game worlds. Including Mario, Donkey Kong, Zelda, Metroid, F-Zero, Kid Icarus, etc. Make cartoons, anime, comic books, graphic novels, music albums, and more for your franchises. Open doors for INFINITE possibilities, Big N. At least consider other venues besides video games every now and then.

Me! If the Mario Movie is a success, then Nintendo would probably make a movie with the other series who were always in Smash Bros… Being Zelda, Metroid, Kirby, Star Fox, possibly Pokémon since it already has movies, Earthbound and F-Zero. Here are the conditions: 1. All members have to be here. It’s not because Slippy is annoying that we have to leave him behind! 2. Make them accurate to their appearance in the games and books. Also, when fighting in the Arwing, Fox’s teammates should act like they do in the games. 3. No twist villains. That especially applies to Pigma. The only “excuse” for this, is that if it’s a prequel. But still! Is Pigma the worst character in this series? Yes. Do I hate him? Yes. Does he deserve to be a twist villain? As his former best friend would say… *ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY NOT!* 4. Please make it a good adaptation. I want to hear the “Do a Barrel Roll!” in the theatres!
