If  only they could make another decent Star Fox game before killing the franchise..

They didn't stop making star fox games after adventures on Gamecube. But it will take another 2 generations.

Who is this ZhugeEX that he thinks he can speak for Nintendo???

Edit: I don't understand why people always believe what random people say on the internet :/

I think the game was unfair reviewed by western reviewers in Metacritic, there are countless indie games who are overpriced and boring but get 90+ on metacritic.
However i do think Nintendo should rather focus more on mature IPs like Fatal Frame in the future which could bring fresh air for their systems.

I fucking loved the original Star Fox.  I played through that game a hundred times back on the SNES.  Star Fox will always be one of my favorite series.

That being said . . . what I played at E3 last year wasn't impressive graphically, and the controls were just okay.  However, when it got to the part where I had to fly while watching the tv and aim while watching the tablet, it became a complete clusterfuck.  I haven't played anything beyond that one demo level, but what I saw made the game look like a giant bomb waiting to happen.

I love Star Fox, and I would love to see another great game emerge from the series, but this wasn't it.  Fans can both love and hate the work of the franchises they adore.  If we just say everything that we're given is gold, then how are the developers going to learn what does and doesn't work for their audience?

There are countless indie games that are priced far lower than starfox zero. Reviews definitely take that into account

Super Paper Mario was a spin-off (and a great game) so it doesn't count. And people buyed Sticker Stars because they didn't want to give up hope for it. Color Splash won't have that hope to push it in sales, which is why I think it'll flop terribly and bury this great franchise forever.

Not the witness

Time's have changed. This isn't the 1990's anymore. There are so many competitors.
People wonder why they haven't made another Metroid...it's because Metroid would bomb too.

There are so many other options for Metroidvania style games that it's hard to stay competitive. Nintendo makes more sense trying to capture the mobile market than staying in console gaming.

Had they, and by they I mean Miyamoto, released a good, proper Starfox on the Wii, instead of scuttling it because "they had no new ideas", which is typical of the type of nonsense that Miyamoto incorporates into his decision making for the last several years, the franchise would likely be much healthier than it is. Instead, they sat on it for more than a decade, and forced a control/display setup into it that nobody wanted, most disliked, and will never be replicated again. Bravo. But at least they got their "new idea" jammed into it. I was pulling for this one. Whatever though.
