I already know so many played and enjoyed Star Fox 64, the 3DS remake, but Star Fox Zero gave another retelling of the same story again, and what really gave me ire is this...
ANOTHER Star Fox 64 Remake. :( No direct continuations of any Star Fox game; not to Assault, not to Star Fox Zero, not even Star Fox 2. No. Just Star Fox 64, remade again, and again, and again.
The newest Star Fox game from Nintendo is, what else another remake to Star Fox 64; another reliving of the same old story, Andross seeks conquest of the Lylat System, General Pepper calls Star Fox to stop Andross, defeat his forces, destroy the heart of his operations, save the Lylat System, all the same.
As an individual, and a gamer who actually enjoys sequels a lot more than remakes, I have to say this, I am completely sick and tired of Nintendo redoing that one same game from the Nintendo 64, which was a redoing of the SNES original, over and over and OVER again! I truly think in my perspective, I'm beginning to question the direction Shigeru Miyamoto and the staff at Nintendo's putting through the Star Fox series right now.
It leads me to think they've got no actual fresh ideas for any future Star Fox game, that is to say actually continuing the story without redoing the same game again; no ideas for new main villains, no new different solar systems and planets, no new original bosses, no new rivals, nothing. All they can do with their genius is this, "Remake Star Fox 64 again, get people to play Star Fox more with this! Pure genius!". I feel its already gotten too old as rotten, curdled milk, doused with aged mildew to sour the appetites and taste a lot.
They think and believe its going to make the Switch's successor sell more, but anyone with actual intelligence(in gaming, that is) that has had enough of remakes of one same game needs to see that they're trying the same old blueprint, and understand that doing it again is not going to work anymore. All that'll do is drive away the audience a lot more rather than attract more.
Not to mention that there's already been too much re-quoting of Star Fox 64's lines, "Do a Barrel Roll!" - Peppy Hare, "I've been waiting for you, Star Fox." - Andross, and, of course, "You've become so strong, Fox." - James McCloud, and more'll keep on repeating said quotes when people act and imitate said quotes even more with that remake they want to play. I feel I've had enough of it already. We really need to, and have to, move forward, and so does Nintendo.
I'm not saying this to deprive anyone from playing the games, even though there's very little, but to actually garner some common sense to see through the old bait and tackle blueprint from Nintendo. I've kept having thoughts on NEW Star Fox games for long, not more remakes of Star Fox 64.
What do you think of what Nintendo's doing with the franchise itself? I think, unless something changes with their plans by actual initiative to move on and forward, never to go back and repeat over and over again, it'll head downward towards less interest in the series for people, and place it into a bleak, directionless future.
And, what will you endure when you actually play the remake on the Switch's successor system? I say to those willing to play, good luck enduring more of the same again. You'll need it.
Don't worry about me, though; just had some frustration I needed to vent out. I know you really love Star Fox, but we need to think and consider about its well-being more.
