Star Fox SNES

Star Fox 64

Star Fox 64 3D

Star Fox Zero

...are all way too similar for my liking.

 

I really don't like how it's a "reimagining" with pretty much the same story and many of the same levels. Star Fox 64 was also a reimagining of Star Fox SNES...so this is basically a reimagining of a reimagining.

Why can't they come up with something brand new? I don't understand why Nintendo has been resting on their laurels so much lately.

Yep. Their last really ambitious games was Zelda Ocarina of time and maybe Mario 64 on N64. Which are the last 2 open-ish Zelda and Mario.

Galaxy games were OK, but still retrospectively disappointing IMO. I liked Zelda Winder and Splatoon is a success but I wouldn't call those games ambitious or innovative (they took the fludd device + octopus characters from Mario sunshine and did a MP game with it?).

I think the problem comes with inertia and a lack of will to innovate and develop something truly exceptionnal like they did during the N64 era. I blame Miyamoto . He is the main culprit IMO.

Twilight Princes and Metroid Prime wasn't ambitious games!? Mario Galaxy was ambitious and innovative, same could could be said for Skyward Sword. Also games like Xenoblade, Xenoblade Chronicles X and Zelda U are very ambitious games.

You can't really compare any generation with N64 because that was first generation of 3D games, basically that was whole new world for games filled with entirely new possibilities for games.
