I would absolutely settle for a regular Arwing amiibo.

As for Krystal, she's always felt a bit "Sonic's Friends" to me. I wont miss her, and if they do something neat with her in the game, more's the better. I would like a level set on dinosaur planet though.

I think I'd really like it if this game had side stories. Like, after I beat the game, let me come back as Star Wolf and make all the messes Fox has to undo later. Actually, there's a good use for Krystal. Show me her leading a Saurian team of space fighters. Gimmie a triceratops wingman, or a velociraptor. She could be named Vel Clevagal.

Is there any secret path in Aquas or is the trick to getting a medal just spamming torpedos?

also star fox assault was okay imo

It's definitely okay, but the art direction is megabad.

Little over a month until Star Fox Zero drops, lets get this hype train crashed into a supply depotgoing!

Miyamoto and Bill have been doing a lot of interviews.

The 22nd can't get here soon enough! If there is online multiplayer mode, I expect to get a chance to shoot down Many Goons.

I do hate motion controls, however. It'll take me weeks to not crash the arwing into the side of a Cornerian mountain side.

I've been operating under the assumption that the Arwing is flown with the sticks, and the motion controls are for aiming lasers. Or lazers.

When talking to people about Star Fox Zero, I get the feeling like some of them expected this specific evolution for the series. Like, being an on-rails shooter was just the limitations of the system, and it would be something like No Man's Sky or whatever. I don't get that. The point of the game is flying under arches is fun, shooting stuff down is fun, this is a carnival ride with boss battles. All the space Car Fox stuff is just the window dressing.

Playing Zoness co-op with my girlfriend. The opportunities for loving with the direct-i player are endless.

Wait, all the bosses are seriously all-range? That's pretty sad if true, the on-rails bosses in 64 were fantastic.

It's maybe my least favorite thing about the game, especially when some of the bosses would have been a lot more fun on rails. Fortuna's boss being the most obvious in my opinion.

Anyway, multiplayer just adds so much to this game it's amazing. My girlfriend likes shooting without having to worry about flying, and I like flying without the added responsibility of shooting everything down. Co-op even had me wishing there were more Zoness type levels, because that poo poo is golden with 2 people.

EDIT: While I'm at it, here's what the game feels like it's missing. The chance to go back and play levels as Kat or Bill or even Wolf. Online 2 v 2 co-op multiplayer. A Sauria stage. One level with the Roadmaster (maybe the aforementioned Sauria stage). This last one might only apply to me, but I'd play a whole game where one person flew a gyrowing while the other traversed the stage as the Direct-i.

EDIT: I really want a sequel. Sadly, the Wii U wont be around for it.

Do the Aquarosa fight and choose the Colony path instead of the Zoness path. It's not really a fight though.

Much obliged!

I never really thought of Fox as having a personality, but "completely over this poo poo" suits him surprisingly well.

Likewise, going full "My dad owns a dealership!" with Andrew Oikinny is perfect.

It's really good. One person uses a pro controller to fly the arwing while the other uses the gamepad as like a turret. Think Han flying while Luke shoots the Millennium Falcon.

By far my favorite part about SF0. It's so fun to split those duties.

All missions have a co-op function?

Were the controls that bad or was that just exaggerated

They can be very frustrating to adjust to. Ultimately, I think I would have been happier with a traditional Star Fox control scheme in single player.
