I like Star Fox Zero... but that’s hilarious!

Note: I've watched the nine different endings and have a small knowledge to Star Fox Command, but this is how I'd write it: We can keep characters like Katt, Bill, Amanda, and Dash, as well as the original cast. Anyway, General Pepper is murdered, can keep the fact that he barely survived from the aparoid infection, and Peppy is hand selected to be the new general. Around this time, Skippy is with Amanda. Weeks later, Falco is accused of the murder and is arrested-NOT SOME "I'M BORED. I'M OUTTA HERE" BULL. As Fox, Krystal, Slippy, and Peppy fight to clear Falco's name, Amanda's mom died of cancer so Slippy goes to that Aqua planet, forget the name. So, that leaves Fox and Krystal. INSTEAD OF A DUMB FOX YELLING KRYSTAL SHE CAN NO LONGER BE ON THE TEAM... they get a call from Peppy to investigate a distress call. The foxes go and, drum roll please, it was a trap. Krystal goes missing and Fox has to escape without her, which crushes him. Then, things get worse. Falco is found guilty and will receive the death penalty. Fox has beem searching for traces of Krystal but to no avail. Slippy and Peppy try to comfort Fox but he won't listen. He feels like a failure and that he's lost two of friends. The night Falco is to be executed, there is a jailbreak. Falco is rescued by none other than...Katt Monroe! Fox gets word of it, a little overjoyed tgat Falco escaped the death penalty but worried he'll get killed now that he's an escaped convict. Two days later, Fox gets a message from Falco who claims he knows where Krystal. Fox, sceptical at first, decides to rendezvous Falco, not letting Peppy know, what with posdibly his position being compromised. He tells Slippy who would need to cover Fox in case anything happens. Fox meets Falco at Zoness base. He is now missing. Slippy, now only with Amanda, the two of them now searching for their missing friends. This is when the adventure begins. Edit: there are a few youtube vids I left similar thoughts in the comment section. This one's a little different but it still has the same premise. What do you guys think?

Always a pleasure to watch your videos, thanks for uploading, I thoroughly enjoyed

Assault was a good game, easily the best story in the franchise.

Funny enough I feel like it was ahead of its time, in the sense that if they didn't do it then, they would be doing it now. We are in this nintendo era of freedom. Zelda and mario have gone open world with the ability to give the player the freedom to handle the situation any way you want. Assaults on foot missions gives you the freedom on how you want to handle it. Do everything on foot, everything in the landmaster, arwing or swap between them. I was able to complete the Sauria mission in 5 minutes, getting the medal just by taking care of most of the hatchers in the arwing then going on foot to take care of the indoor ones. If fully realize it would be an extremely fun, super replay able experience.

Assault isn't even that far from the tree. If anything I feel like Assault is something nintendo would be making in the switch era. Nintendo is in this era of open sand box and freedom to play however you want. Assaults on foot mostly let's you tackle the situation however you want. All on foot, all landmaster, all arwing, or all of them. It's something that makes sense as 64 you were either always in the arwing or always in another vehical in a single mission.

Your channel is so underrated

I actually kind of liked the ground based missions in Assault and I am old enough to have played the original, but I will say I enjoyed the 3 rail missions were my absolute favs. The ideal sequel to 64, imho, is a game that has 3 or 4 different endings branching from 3 different paths (paths like 64) and each level builds on the story in a different way. The final ending (4) is the true ending where everything turns out great. Now I do think the story cutscenes in Assault were a bit too lengthy, but I appreciated the interlude before missions. That kind of dialogue would be INCREDIBLY more impactful if there were 3 different routes which can be switched around depending on missions' objectives rather than the repetitive 1 track story. So, to summarize, the ideal Starfox game to me would have 80% rail Arwing missions (64), a branching story with multiple endings (64, Command), have short cutscenes to help the player understand where they are in the story (Assault) and have a high score counter to encourage speedrunning/repeat plays to find the best routes. It doesn't even need new shit. It just needs to take the shit that's good and make it happen together.

I like Star Fox, too. And, yes, Fox should definitely be on the ground for a good portion of the future games if they decide to bring the series back. Assault was in the right direction and even though I understand the criticisms Adventures has received, agreeing wiht a good amount of them, I still like the game. If the future Star Fox games focus on story, characters, and voice acting-although I don't find it bad but am opened for possible improvement based off of what others have said-then we can definitely make some progress. Also, considering Star Fox is a team of mercenaries, they would also be in part of controversy as well b/c not everyone likes mercenaries, even if some of them work for the good ppl-can definitely work for a character like Fox who wants to uphold his father's legacy but doubts if he's doing enough and that should they even be mercenaries b/c, at one point, they were hired by another army General but wetr tricked into killing a wrongfully convicted guy and now this puts a dent in Fox's conscience-who else could get killed b/c of their status of being mercenaries? Farewell, Beloved Falco had a story like that, but the narrative was botched b/c it turned Falco and Fox into unlikable, clueless jerks, as well as having a lack luster villain, ect. Also, the other games, after Zero, should focus on the other characters: Falco. Slippy, Peppy, ect to flesh them out, like what Resident Evil has been doing. And speaking of that game, RE4 is a beloeved game that kept what ppl loved about the Resident Evil earlier games, and adding a new genre to the game: action. If it can work for RE, then adding ground missions, as long as they don't over do them, shouldn't hurt the Star Fox franchise into evolving.

I live for your fucking rants dude. Please never stop doing this!

Nintendo’s excessive reliance on gimmicks as main selling points is what caused potentially long-running franchises like Star Fox to be forgotten by time. It’s kind of sad, because that’s Nintendo’s MO. Sometimes you don’t have to do a complete overhaul or introduce a new gameplay mechanic that needs expensive peripherals. There are times when less is more. A clear example of that is Metal Slug, which still holds up to this day while carrying the same old core mechanics. It took SNK 10 years to add two more characters and different stats for each.

The thing is that Assault was a natural evolution of the series that just needed one more game to realize its potential. Every game besides the first had on foot gameplay and assault bridged three gameplay styles from 64 into a single mission style. 64 you were either in the arwing or in another vehicle for that one mission. Assault gave you the freedom to switch between them in a single mission. That's cool, and that's innovative for the series while still being in the ballpark. It just need that nintendo polish, that follow up game to clean the rough edges but we didn't get that.

I ready for this.😤

That reminds me that I never did unlock the on-foot mode for Star Fox 64's multiplayer mode

You're 100% correct on Star Fox Assault having the multiplayer as its focus: it was originally going to have an arcade version and sport online multiplayer as a selling point, both of which got axed. As for Command, I'm shocked you didn't mention its biggest problem: it's boring as fuck because it's the same shit for way too long, with no variety in mission objectives or enemy and level design. I won't go on about Zero, but it stands out to me as one of the few games where I actively struggled with the controls and consciously decided to put it down. If Star Fox wasn't always distracted by game-consuming gimmicks, we'd probably have cool, organic features like full co-op, ship upgrades, galaxy exploration, smart use of on-foot sections, online leaderboards, and actually interesting stories. The absence of co-op especially pisses me off because it's a fucking series about a group of four pilots and it _still_ hasn't let you and your friends save the galaxy together!

One for the on rails arcade game, and another team for a more action and story oriented approach like Assault and Star Fox 2.

Star Fox 64 is personally my favorite game of all time, and as soon as I get my new Switch (my old one blue screened, it would’ve been cheaper to just get another one) I’m absolutely doing another playthrough or five

Also for something that died in 2005, they choose to allow sakurai to make kid icarus uprising which is an on rail shoot for the 3ds in 2013 was it? That games a massive cult following and people would love to see it return. But unfortunately it probably won't as it was a one of thing for sakurai. But it's important because not only was it an on railer shooter but it was also a 3rd person shooter which is what assault is. All it really needs to do is be polished, have an excellent story, and multiplayer. I'm perfectly fine with nintendo not working on it themselves. I trust Bandai Namco or literally any other 3rd party developers with starfox more then nintendo. And metroids been doing well if mercury steam so that's a plus really. Again this statement is one big pile of shit because they have more then just one platformer, more then one adventure game, more then one rpg game. StarFox and splatoon play nothing alike. Starfox has space ships, tanks, variety of weapons in a sort of battle royal arena.
