Yeah but if they combine the good on rails & music of the first one with the elements brought on in the second one It could be perfect. At least the way I'm imagining it.

You know what, just give me the Star Fox 64 formula with better graphics, new stages, branching paths and throw in the mothership approach scene/level from part one (music and all) cause that was badass.
And someday before I die I would love to play the finished but cancelled Star Fox 2 for SNES.

Maybe I'm wrong about Star Fox's popularity...I basing it partly on the huge amount of memes and fanfics that have appeared over the past 6 or 7 years.

Mass Effect style of Furry erotica PLZ
The fact they would make one would make me very happy. All they need to do is look at SF64 for design. I don't give a damn if someone spouts it is "antiquated". I don't need "land missions" and the like, just good ol' on-rails action with plenty of fancy graphics! That's what sold me on Panzer Dragoon as a kid lol

Just the fact that Nintendo is remaking StarFox 64 on 3DS shows that they believe the franchise still has plenty of fans.
I don't think I'm alone in thinking all-range mode was a rather unpleasant experience. So much turning around!
I barely remember SF:A multiplayer, but I believe you could stand on your arwing in mid-flight and shoot at stuff, which I thought was absurdly amazing and would be an appropriate game mechanic

I'm not entirely sure why people react to Krystal the way they do. The promotional pinup artwork is kind of awkward, but that has no bearing on the actual game. She can serve a valid purpose as as squad member that's not just Furry wank material.
Given the rest of the cast, this series needs some females in it. Slippy doesn't count.

I think the reason more people seem to like Star Fox 64 over the original is that because its aged a lot better. As impressive as the first game was at the time, as Boney kind of said playing it now gives me the impression of watching a slideshow.

Here's hoping it exists, for one.
For all the shit Assault & Command get/got/are going to get, I thought they were both shitloads of fun.
Nintendo should give it to the guys/gals at Kuju. Batallion Wars 2 felt like it could have been the groundwork for a fun Starfox title.

It depends on how Nintendo plans to release the game. If it's DD only, I'd like something similar to Starfox 64 with linear levels and multiple path.
If they choose to release it on a disc, then I want an improved Star Fox Command. Command was bad because of the ridiculous story and the lack of linear levels, but they can definitely improve on the strategic aspect of the game. They have 2 solid tactical licences (Advance Wars and Fire Emblem), so they know their stuff. It's not like they can't put linear levels here and there in the campaign. It would be nice to have an arcade mode to supplement the main campaign mode too. I tend to get bored of the old Starfox after 30 minutes or so, so maybe they could make a smaller game that focus heavily on making high scores.
People hate Starfox Command, but I don't think the Command aspect was to blame, it was a pretty neat idea, but the game had its share of problem, like the stylus gameplay due to the lack of analog stick, the stupid and pointless cut scenes/story, the lack of variety. But I have the same problem of repetitiveness with the old Starfox, and the command aspect made the DS game finally enjoyable to me, to this day, it's the only Starfox game I ever finished, I always get bored always, the lack of checkpoint/save system didn't help though.
I wouldn't mind another attempt at third person shooting, especially if a western developper like Retro Studio is developping the game, but if it's from Japan, they'd better stick to vehicles...

If there's one thing I only liked in Command, it's that each character has their own ship statistics and that you have a bit more varied squad. With that said, Leon was pretty useless there (huge armor but lacks lasers, only lock-ons) whereas Wolf, Panther and James are broken.
They need an Alphonse! Or Alexander. Just think of FMA
Speaking of which (since I have too much time in my hands):

I don't understand the complaints about repetitiveness re: StarFox SNES and SF 64.
With the branching paths within a level, 3 difficulty paths to get to the final boss, lots of secrets, and amazing and diverse music, visuals, and enemies, there's just so much there.
I loved playing levels multiple times and becoming perfect at annihilating every single enemy...that's the only way it can ever get "repetitive".

Thanks for this. now I don't have to bother playing my Japanese copy of Command any more.ReyVGM said:

A 3rd person adventure about dinosaurs featuring a love interest for fox along with sonicesque shitty friends and melodrama.
But really an expanded beautiful game in the vein of SF64 would be amazing, larger maps, 60 fps locked, multiple branching paths...
The controller screen could be used in some cool ways too, perhaps communications from your team could come through it, kindof an update to the things suda did in NMH with the controller as a phone kind of thing, or perhaps the ability to create cusom plane maneuvers on the touch screen to be mapped to a button... I'm sure nintendo will think of something infinitely cooler but there are all kinds of possibilities with the unique controller and powerful hardware.

Yes. This.
1. No vehicles other than Arwings unless we get more landmaster levels like the train level.
2. Awesome music like in the 1st SNES game.
3. Awesome cheesy voice acting
4. Straight up hardcore non stop shooting action. I want thumb blisters from all the barrell rolling!
5. Difficulty to be more like Expert mode in SF64!
6. No free roaming modes. Hardcore linear action please! Makes it much easier to script awesome setpieces (independence day level is dull and over hyped)
7. EAD to make it.
8. shitloads of secrets and replayability.
9. No multiplayer bullshit!
10. Awesome art design!

Ever since Assault, I've been wanting an online Starfox where there are 2 wars being waged at once, one in space, the other on the planet's surface. There is an objective in space and on the planet, and 32 people on each team can seamlessly travel from space to the planet to finish those objectives. If you are doing well on the planet, but not so hot in space, you would have to transfer some people to space, and that's as simple as flying up and accelerating to go beyond the atmosphere. If you need to go to the planets' surface, just fly toward the planet and accelerate appropriately.
As far as single player, I really want something similar to Starfox 64, but bring in ground elements that WORK. I think on-foot missions would be cool, but you have to make them work. I liked Assault, I would give it a solid 6/10... but it needed better on-foot missions.

I know everyone hates on Starfox Assault, but the game had some good things going for it:
- Orchestrated Music
- The Starship only sections were well done
- The Parts where you held the plasma gun (or whatever it was called) on the wing of a ship and shot down enemies on rails was nice.
they just need to make a starfox assault that has less on-foot parts (not none, but minimize it to being merely a means of transitioning from one vehicle to the next and anti-aircraft machinery) and more variation in vehicles. Starfox shouldn't have less vehicle variety than the Halo series at the very least.

I wouldn't say it was all graphics (although definitely one of its strongest points). Don't get me wrong as I'd like to see Treasure do it as well, but I think F5 could do it justice as well as long as you keep them away from sixaxis.
Here is some enlightened commentary on the starfox command endings:

I'm a proud graphics whore. So they'll need to take care of that aspect.
Game Play should be based off of 64. On rails, Arwing, Tanks, Subs, some free fly missions.
Art should like the original's box and manual. Make them to scale. Look like actual fox/falcon/puppets, just wearing pilots uniforms.
Atmosphere should be a mixture of Gundam , Heinlen and Pitch Black.
Won't happen but it's what I'm hoping for.
