It would be nice if it had better graphics, but what's wrong with it being an on-rails shooter. That's WHAT Star Fox is.
It's like complaining Street Fighter V is another "on rails" fighting game. Uh ... that's the point of the game play and where the enjoyment is derived from, I don't want a 3D Street Fighter game like Tekken is. That wouldn't be Street Fighter any more.
If having lower end graphics means they can make a profit from this game more easily (thus ensuring more Star Fox games) and a quicker dev cycle means this game gets the Christmas sales window to itself ... I think they made the right call.
It doesn't do anyone any good if they made a super high budget Star Fox game, but it woefully undersold and needed to be delayed 2-3 times for the graphics engine and ended up selling like crap because it came out at the tail end of the Wii U lifecycle. Then the franchise will be iced for a long time.
