Hero-of-Time Posted June 11, 2018 Posted June 11, 2018 (edited) While the game was first shown off last year, Switch owners were treated to something special at this years Ubisoft E3 conference. EDIT: Delete this thread as Smeagol posted his first. Edited June 11, 2018 by Hero-of-Time
Sméagol Posted June 12, 2018 Posted June 12, 2018 Yeah. He could have been a winner if he didn't take the time to type a spoiler directly in the title.

Sméagol Posted June 12, 2018 Posted June 12, 2018 Well it was a joke about your title being unnecessarily longer, but there may be some people who hadn't seen the E3 presentation and just clicked on the thread to get general new info. The way I did it they could have almost the same reaction as someone who did watch the presentation.

In that case we had better spoiler tag all the threads in the Nintendo board in case people haven't watched the Direct yet. 1

It's similar to spoiling new Smash character reveals in the title. Though we barely will have that problem after this Direct. 1
S.C.G Posted September 25, 2018 Posted September 25, 2018 Available for pre-order now on the Nintendo Store. Is anyone buying this? The starter set is one per customer, which seems to be the only way to get the Arwing and Fox. I like the inclusion of StarFox but... I'm just not sold on the game personally. Plus... space issues, I really don't want to buy a special edition of any kind unless it feels worth it to me. 1
Ronnie Posted September 25, 2018 Posted September 25, 2018 I'm tempted but will wait for reviews before deciding. Wouldn't bother with any of the toys though
killthenet Posted September 26, 2018 Posted September 26, 2018 I'm definitely interested but doubt I'd buy any of the toys. £70 is more reasonable than I thought but its still pretty pricey for someone who's only interested in the Star Fox stuff. I'm likely to buy it digitally if it ever goes on sale but can't imagine spending £40/£50 on it just to play the Star Fox content.

I thought the Star Fox stuff just comes with the Switch version of the game? The toys are completely optional, right?

As far as I know the toys are optional, yes, but there's no way to buy it physically without the toys and I don't really want to spend £50 on the digital version. Unless it reviews really well I'll wait until it drops in price a bit.
killthenet Posted October 11, 2018 Posted October 11, 2018 (edited) This is up for pre-order on the eShop, starting with the standard edition at an eye wateringly steep £69.99. Edited October 11, 2018 by killthenet
killthenet Posted October 15, 2018 Posted October 15, 2018 It seems to be getting pretty decent reviews, had a glance and Eurogamer seem to be the only ones being that negative on it. Still way too expensive for me to give it a go though.
Ronnie Posted October 16, 2018 Posted October 16, 2018 Just watched the Gamexplain review, positive enough, but probably not quite enough for me to pick it up, much as I'd like to support Ubisoft. The point he was making is that this isn't a Starfox game, but the Starfox inclusion works well.
Kaepora_Gaebora Posted October 16, 2018 Posted October 16, 2018 I went all in and ordered the Starfox pack all boxed up from the official store (well, it's £69.99 and includes an Arwing!) Got an email yesterday to say a delay in shipping, although apparently it has been dispatched this morning so we'll see, quite looking forward to it as apart from fox being in it I know absolutely nothing about the game, haven't followed it apart from seen the metacritic average, so looking forward to giving it a go!
Emerald Emblem Posted October 16, 2018 Posted October 16, 2018 I watched a streamer play this earlier and I'll be honest I'm very intrigued, it's nice they haven't half assed the Starfox collab, they aren't treated like say a custom player character in a RPG. I'm very tempted, but he said if you don't care about the arwing figure the digital edition is the way to go as it has more in game content. But for £69.99 it's awful pricey.
Ronnie Posted October 16, 2018 Posted October 16, 2018 Yeah the cutscenes with Fox and co look fantastic tbf, definitely making the Switch-exclusive content stand out. The game itself seems to have a lot more depth and stretegy involved than I first thought.
MindFreak Posted October 22, 2018 Posted October 22, 2018 No one's playing this game, then? I would really like to try it out - they should release a demo of it. I don't like the dogfight parts of StarFox that much and this is apparently a bit heavy on those. But are they fun here? How are the other levels?

It debuted at #14 in the UK charts. And around 80% of those sales has been the Switch version. It's a total Soul Calibur 2 situation. Except not even Star Fox can completely save this.
Mandalore Posted October 22, 2018 Posted October 22, 2018 The demo at EGX didn't really leave me that impressed and the price is off putting. I was extremely unimpressed with the previous time they shoehorned Star Fox into a game which it didn't fit too. Maybe I'll give it a try when the price is more reasonable.
Kaepora_Gaebora Posted October 22, 2018 Posted October 22, 2018 So I blew £69.99 on the boxed version and...haven't even opened it yet 🙈 Partly because any game time I have I'm still predominantly playing Monster Hunter but also...it all just looks so pretty boxed up and untouched, I'm half wondering whether in a few years it might be worth a few Bob, especially if it hasn't been selling THAT well. Still really want to play the game itself, though! What a dilemma...

I heard from reviews that you get more in the digital version of the game than the physical so maybe it could be worth downloading the game as well..?
