Any info on off-TV play? There was mention of it earlier on but I've seen no official statement. That'll probably determine whether I get the game or not.

That's nice. But unfortunately it's still a rehash of SF64, with essentially Wii (not Wii U) level graphics, and from what I've heard, no ability to choose branching paths, etc.

It's basically kind of a rushed "Star Fox", just to say they've given us a Star Fox. On the one hand, I'd like it to sell well enough to let them know people still want SF. But on the other hand.....I really do not feel like wasting my money on something that is NOT the full blown SF64 sequel that I and many like me have been waiting for for a decade and a half.

Do you have a source for that?

I dont think so there will be off-TV play because you will using gamepad and TV for playing.

It's the same situation as Pikmin 3, meaning that it started out as a Wii game. I'm sure the next Star Fox game will look better because it's not going to be affected by something like that.

Yer but it feels like Nintendo trying to please a vocal minority rather than hey i'll do what I want to get the franchise to be liked by a new generation of gamers. They got scared of the adventures path because lots of people wanted just the on-rails shooter. I don't see why they cannot banace itm why does it even need to be on-rails flying? why can't it be liek freelancer were you fly between plannets and enoouter things to do for example?

I much prefer the non motion controls in Splatoon...

A vocal minority?  The number of people who can't stand Adventures and Assault is not that small. Why do you think Nintendo is rebooting the Star Fox franchise with Zero? By doing that they are pretty much ignoring everything that happened after 64. If Zero does well then it's possible that the next Star Fox is going to be more complex. They are simply testing the waters right now.

You can't use subjective opinions to argue objectively that something is more or less fun than anything else. That quickly becomes a cop-out. That's what I'm saying here. Whether YOU think they're more fun and want to justify that by saying the majority thinks so is incredibly arguable. From that, I can go into the argument of attach rates over time, and we could delve into insanity trying to find out how many players actively continue the game on a weekly basis, where we could figure out, say, that the game only has 150k active players a week. That 70-80% suddenly comes into a lot more perspective, in that instance. 

But I'm not arguing that, because Nintendo wouldn't announce active player counts like this were a Halo game. Unless they had a huge amount of active players and wanted to brag, of course lol. I was making one point with that statement, and that's that opinion=/=fact. 

As an aside, I will say that outside of Smash, Nintendo fans tend to cave into Nintendo's desires for control schemes pretty quickly. That's 100% because until like this game, outside of Smash, a control scheme was forced, or irrelevant (say, Xenoblade). I'd like to see somebody dive into the metrics and see how many people even changed the scheme to see what they liked, and how many just took the standard and rolled with it. But we won't ever get that because that's a tough study to do on any console, let alone Nintendo's lock-and-key consoles. But now I'm digressing lol. 

I mean. It might be the majority opinion that people like motion controls better. But it doesn't mean they are better.
