Should Starfox stay only a Rail Shooter?

If they could do it right I wouldn't mind Fox McCloud being some super agent who is an ace pilot and who can handle himself like Sam Fisher, Solid Snake, James Bond or Jason Bourne in ground combat. I can't imagine him blasting away like Master Chief, but I can imagine him being stealthy and deadly.

However, based off of the actual quality of the games that they've done, I'd suggest that he stay his ass in an Arwing.

Arg...no offense, but Nintendo already had enough Bounty Hunter/Secdret Agent type characters.  I'd be happier if they kept him as he originaly was, a freelance vigilante type character trying to live up to his dads image.  If they turned him into that type of image, we'd have yet another 'bad ass gun wielding super spy' wannabe for Smash Bros.  Its bad enough with all the people fighting between Fox, Falco, Zero Suit Samus, Snake and Captain Falcon.....

Who is the secret agent and what are these "bad ass gun wielding super spy" game that Nintendo has too many of?  I'm talking about games, not characters for Smash Brothers.

Uh...I was referencing the hypothetical 'what if' scenario you came up with for Fox.  Specifically "If they could do it right I wouldn't mind Fox McCloud being some super agent who is an ace pilot and who can handle himself like Sam Fisher, Solid Snake, James Bond or Jason Bourne in ground combat."

And I referenced Smash Bros because, hey, that's what he is in Smash Bros.....  And stated I'd like his character (not to mention the gameplay of Star Fox) to be different than 'Fox from Smash Bros'.  Which your example of 'a super agent like James Bond/Snake running and gunning' sounds exactly like.  As I said, I'd rather see his character return to a freelance vigilante who sticks to piloting a spaceship (or possibly other vehicles).
