You're cool man, you really are but NO no no no no no. NO. You cant have your cake and eat it too, people want that classic Star Fox feeling, which judging by sales I say people WANT Star Fox 64 stuff, the thing is and what gamers dont and refuse to understand is that type of game has a ceiling and its not 5 million sales, not even close. You cant have a classic Star Fox game and have it do Smash bros numbers its not gonna happen.
It really saddens me, unless you own stock in Nintendo why do you care what the game sells? especially at those unrealistic numbers. What happened to just having the game be good. They tried to "evolve" Star Fox and look how well that has worked out for them. And lets not blame install base. Other Ninty games had much better sales that both Star Foxes on GC, DS had a large install base, nobody cared. I dont know whats going on with 3ds must have hit that ceiling I was talkng about.

I don't care about sales but the guy is correct. I made this thread stating that Star Fox could potentially be a big seller for Nintendo. I think it definitely could, if done right. They need to make it modern but SF64 elements could of course be brought in. Why not 2 games in one almost? Have a mission mode that is 3 to 4 hours long in the same style as SF64 but the main story be off rails? It could work.

then why even make a thread about it being a big seller if you dont care might i ask? We're going to have to agree to disagree i dont see it. I honestly dont think Ninty internal studios have it in them or care. It might be a good game, but it sounds expensive and Ninty probably isnt going to want to invest, not with the numbers the series has done in the recent years.

But this is the whoe point of the thread "could become".
We are not saying Nintendo has the ability and more importantly wanting to risk the big money to do it. It is all in theory. If everything was done right with a big budget, it has the potential to be one of their big franchises. Note I said it has potential not will be.
And offcourse a classic star fox will not do smash numbers hence why I said it needs to evolve beyond that. It needs to attract new gamers. Imagine if Goolden Eye style game come out now in HD. People outside Nintendo core wouldn't even look at it because it is outdate mechanics. FPS games are still sucessful but that is because they evovled with the time. Star fox would need to do the same to become more relevant.
Finally they never really tried to "evolve" Starfox, it was an after thought a game that was rebranded with the star fox characters. What let it down was the fact it didn't have any flying missions.
