Played the tutorial and first mission of SFZ.
While it's certainly not the best looking game on the system, it does look substantially better on my TV than on youtube. I have no problem with the graphics honestly, they are legible and serve their purpose.
Still getting the hang of the controls, but they feel a lot like the gyro aiming in Splatoon, so playing that first has made the learning curve much gentler. I'm still adjusting to multitasking between the two screens, and I can see the potential, as there have already been times where I've been able to pick off targets that would have been out of my line of fire in prior Starfox titles.
I feel like the audio deserves a special shoutout; I was skeptical of the voices coming only through the Gamepad, but the way it's done works really well, and the music is brilliantly upbeat and energetic, pleasantly recalling the style of SF64.
Of course, there's always the chance it would turn to shit from here on out, but my initial impressions are better than expected.

The double screen allows you to do some tricks that weren't possible before. You can also target some enemies "outside" the main screen, so your range of aiming is vastly improved. Gyro controls works like Splatoon, so I don't think the control scheme is that... hard. I didn't have a lot of problems adjusting to it. I've played 7 hours and now I'm surprised on how much I can do, it feels great to play the game now. I had problems adjusting to the Walker though, and it seems that I'm not the only one (at least, reading impressions online). But in my first playthrough there was a boss fight which made me understand how it works, so now I can handle it without any problems. And, well, I really love the Landmaster now XD.
I'll do it next game
