dazzybee Posted March 29, 2015 Posted March 29, 2015 I'm worried about Starfox, although mainly for its legacy. It's probably got just as many mediocre/average/bad games in its series as it does excellent. How long can we realistically call it a respected Nintendo series when, imo, the last great one was on the N64? That's just how good that game was I guess. Even after nearly 20 years, it's probably still best in class too. Crazy. I think people see the potential in a modern version of starfox 64, they've tried to change things up too much when all we want is an arcade shoot em up with those glorious characters!
Retro_Link Posted March 29, 2015 Posted March 29, 2015 StarFox needs to be dragged kicking and screaming into being a relevant series again. It had SO much potential to fill a gap in Nintendo's library and appeal to a much wider audience. I don't feel that's under Miyamoto's control though. I still remember the video @Jamba posted, as to what a StarFox multiplayer could be As for the single player, I saw this trailer for Eve: Valkyrie the other day. Imagine blasting off in your Arwing like this! Oh if only you Nintendo would do a 4 player co-op squad based story mode.

I've not played a better game of that type since. There is TONS of potential there and it baffles me how we've not seen another one like it since. Adventures was not what we wanted, whilst Assault and Command were bleeeeh. Just give the fans what they want! StarFox needs to be dragged kicking and screaming into being a relevant series again.

Although... 4 player co-op story based modes Massive online dog fights You're NEVER going to get those with Nintendo, I'm afraid. We've wanted this stuff for years and we're nowhere near getting it.

Fierce_LiNk Posted March 29, 2015 Posted March 29, 2015 Oh yeah I know, just allow me to dream Apparently Eve: Valkyrie is coming to PS4. Uses the VR headset. Fuck your dreams. I'll take reality! Another to add to the list.
Serebii Posted March 29, 2015 Posted March 29, 2015 Apparently Eve: Valkyrie is coming to PS4. Uses the VR headset. Fuck your dreams. I'll take reality! Another to add to the list. Yep yep. I'm so getting that when I get my PS4
Ronnie Posted March 29, 2015 Posted March 29, 2015 Played Eve Valkyrie with Oculus at EGX. Soul-less and boring, relying on spectacle instead of gameplay
nekunando Posted March 29, 2015 Posted March 29, 2015 Wouldn't surprise me if both became a part of Starfox though That's certainly something I saw happening straight after E3 last year I'm hoping it all comes together in a way that surprises a few people As for the release schedule, I'm amazed just how quickly some of you burn through games and are immediately onto the next big thing. I'm actually finding the Wii U output to be just about perfect for my current needs as it gives me time to catch up on some older gems whilst providing me with an outstanding new experience every few months I'm probably as intrigued as anyone to see what Next Level Games and Retro Studios have up their sleeves. Hopefully we'll find out about one, or both, soon. I'd be absolutely delighted with a new Mario Strikers and Metroid Prime for Wii U and am going to predict that we actually see the former released in Q3 2015.. which would be AWESOME
Serebii Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 No eShop downloads in Europe or Japan this week... #DirectlyToUs

One of the most ridiculous things I've read, why even post it all out And NES Remix retail?! Hasn't that already been released? Lies straight out the gate.
Ashley Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 Yes, the ability to take fake photos of plastic figures apparently

I would also add that this weeks eShop releases which were just announced this morning would lend credence to this rumour. Edited March 30, 2015 by Wii

There's nothing outrageous. Regarding MK8. seperate screens for local 2 player games: One on the GamePad, one on the TV That would be a real nice addition.
dazzybee Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 Oh it's all believable, but the sheer volume of it makes it slightly ridiculous. And 2 player mario kart on separate devices doesn't sound like an easy update. Also, wasn't this taken from a youtube comment or something? And I thought nES Remix DID come out... Hero did't you buy it?

Zechs Merquise Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 I would love NES Remix to get a physical release! I would buy it, I much prefer physical releases.
Aneres11 Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 NES remix came out for 3DS in Europe. I ordered it last night, funnily enough The Wii U boxed version didn't, I believe.
Hero-of-Time Posted March 30, 2015 Author Posted March 30, 2015 And I thought nES Remix DID come out... Hero did't you buy it? Nah. I bought the downloads when they came out but a Wii U retail release has never appeared on these shores.
liger05 Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 SNES titles will be released in the 3DS eShop That is all I want to be true!!!
Fused King Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 Why can't SNES and GB©/GBA games come both to the WiiU and the 3DS? Surely they're both powerful enough to run enough, why the disparity?
