Living in the tropical freeze world would be disappointing because I would sign up to be a cool viking and go on a grand adventure full of conquest and plunder, but end up getting stuck working in the popsicle factory while the boss is a lazy polar bear that eats everything. Then a big monkey beats me up and I'm out of job cause the boss is dead, and then it gets really hot and humid all of the sudden.

So Im just spitballing ideas here but how did Nintendo not see that the obvious answer to rebooting Star Fox was to make it an online multiplayer Call of Duty sort of thing? Like you could keep the Star Fox 64 stuff single player campaign but instead of Star Fox Guard, put all that work into an online multiplayer mode where you get perks and ranks and have your k:d ratio and all that other spergy stuff that used to sell video games. Hell you could even keep the landmaster/chicken walker/gyro copter things and have either specific levels or specific goals for that level that involve protecting a player in that unit, or where every player is in that unit or something.

Like, it Would be a guaranteed sell for ever owner of a Wii U at that point, instead of being a flop that kills the series. How do you gently caress up that badly, Nintendo? Did you not learn from Splatoon?

Edit: Wait is this a serous thread about nerds sperging over video games or is it an "ironic:"thread where we post poopy dick butts about Nintendo babies?

yes

I've had Tropical Freeze since it came with my WiiU when I bought it like a year and a half ago, and the only reason I ever opened it was to see if there was a Club Nintendo code inside. DKCR was one of the most infuriating games I've ever played and I have no desire to play the sequel.

The Starfox games were in development 2 years ago when Nintendo was going through that phase of "we need games to show off the unique features of the gamepad!"

Tropical Freeze is a billion times better than the first one and is GOTY 2014. You are doing yourself a disservice.

That's a shame because while it is a harder game, it's also a much better one.

Lack of new games? They want to get some money out of it before Nintendo dumps it for good? They're not getting any use out of it and it's gathering dust? They can do something useful with that $100 they'll get out of it? Who cares.

It's like you're upset that other people don't have your level of fanboy enthusiasm for this system. People buy and sell consumer electronics all the time, don't take it as a personal insult.

Actually there is a LAN option, it's just that it's activated by network environment.

Also, don't hex edit your gear, unless you want your save files corrupted.

They tried out multiplayer focus stuff with Assault and Command. But some people didn't like those games as much as 64, so Nintendo just scrapped the idea altogether instead of trying to iterate on it better (which they've done some other times as well).

Star Fox Assault would actually make a really good next gen game and really good online multiplayer. I think the main thing holding it back was technical limitations, the levels just felt really small and cramped.

Said in a world where some of the best guns in AAA shooter Battlefield 4 are obtained by just downloading somebody else's save with zero consequences or effort.

Besides, everybody knows your gear rolls don't matter, it's all about looking fresh, and you can't hack a sense of style into incorrect sadbrains.

You have to be online to play with offline friends, which is a bit of a problem.

As for editing gear, yes, don't do this. But there's still a guide for doing it, and it's being encouraged in higher-end play. You should focus on freshness, but some people focus on breaking rules to be "competitive".

It creates issues with tournament setup, especially in places with limited or no internet connectivity, discouraging general local tournament play.

Considering the rise of Splatoon's popularity in the competitive scene, it absolutely is a problem, albeit a much smaller one that people hacking "perfect gear".

I don't know which children are awake between 10 PM and 3AM in Japan, which is where almost everybody I play against still lives when I play during the day.

I'll concede that anybody with an English name has like a 70% chance of being a child. Also, I'm glad there's no voice chat because children are insufferable on comms. I used to play Fall of Cybertron's multiplayer, and any time there was a kid with mic on, they were in a room with like 10 other kids and a dog all flipping their poo poo, and somebody's mom yelling at them to watch the baby.
