The graphics aren't good enough, Nintendo should have done much better, it's completely not up to par. In some places it does look good for a wiiu game, in other places it doesn't look like a wiiu game at all. That screenshot in the desert that keeps getting thrown around is the best the game has to offer and if the whole game looked like that then there wouldn't be an issue. But that is not a fair picture to show as the majority of the game does not look as good as that.

The game will not be overly liked by critics but should still sell over a million... I mean as a wiiu gamer you don't really have much choice do you.

72 on metacritic probably.

Actually i still play Star Fox occasionally. Yepp, that looks total crap by todays standards. But it still plays fine. And it actually set standards back then.

Now we have a game that's ok at best not because of being technically great but art direction. Yet art direction isn't really where i'd expect it. Detail etc. are somewhere between good 6th gen games and mediocre to bad 7th gen. Being pretty far from constant 60fps that actually is a disappointment.

We have a really complicated control scheme that led to an invincibilty mode for getting people used to it, because of? Actually it still seems because someone needed a showcase title. Note that gyro aim wouldn't really need the second screen.

We have a pretty blunt coop, again because of controls. There's no 4 player coop or online coop for the one Nintendo franchise where it would probybly fit best.

Someone remember easy to learn, hard to master? The new control scheme isn't really easy to learn. It makes a game actually not easy to learn. Where's the benefit of the second screen in a fast paced game? Note that you could change perspective with a single screen as well as show picture in picture perspectives.

People should Nintendo as much as other devs for decisions they make or not.

I went through some footage from the Let's Back Up the Squadron trailer... The game is incredibly inconsistent in it's quality.

How cute!

So, in common only Corneria looks like ass.

Even if your a fan of it, I feel like you shouldnt support games that are made like this.

It just encurages them to keep milking it for all its worth and putting out subpar games if you do.

This isnt AAA or AA... its lower than that.

This is like a Starfox game made by indies.... and it shouldnt be acceptable.

The problem is the apparnt lack & care for the IP.

Look at the Rachet & Clank reboot (remake):

vs

StarFox Zero:

There is a huge differnce.

One of these games takes 3-4hours? to get through and the other somewhere between 11-15hours.

One of these games is 60$ and the other is 40$.

Nintendo is screwing people over with this title and milking those nostalgic for a starfox game.

Starfox deserves better than this.

What? The game puts the Wii U very close to its very technical limit.

No it doesnt.

Look at how pretty some Wii U games are.

I refuse to believe it gets anywhere near technical limits, unless they coded it really poorly, spent no time optimising it, or just had insanely bad and miss managed resource usage. Which I guess you could argue because of the gamepad gimmic aim part.

Still can you think of a wii u game that looks worse than Starfox Zero? I cant right now.

Looks ok now, but really not beautiful.
The art style is outdated and the graphics are decent.

No other Wii U game recreates two different points of view both at 60fps. Comparing it to Mario Kart, Bayonetta or others is just not fair.

Tank!Tank!Tank!
