Starfox:Command discussion

the kawaiist thing
Starfox:Command is a DS title confirmed to launch in August for America. It features Wi-fi for competitive battle mode with up to 4 players and supports 8 player locally. Also includes an adventure mode with over 30 missions and 15 playable characters as well as a co-op mode. You control the game mainly by the touch screen. The touch screen acts as a radar screen as well as control area. You can via the touch screen move your arwing in all directions, double tap the upper half will boost your arwing, double tap the bottom half will cause you to brake, There are a few icons to the side that allow you to do things such as doing a barrel roll, u-turn or a loop de loop, there is also an icon that allows you to drop bombs by dragging an icon on the touch screen and letting the bomb go where you want it too on the radar screen. Also there is a new mode to play star fox. Known as all range mode unlike the on-rails mode featured in SF,SF64 and SF:A. All range mode was first featured in the cancelled Snes games known as Star Fox 2. In this mode you now map out exactly which place each member in your team will go. You can then face off against the enemy and defeat them and then switch to a different character and take care of the problem on that planet.

Now lets get on with the story of this game. The Starfox team now only consists of two members Fox and ROB. Slippy has himself a girlfriend, Falco went off exploring into deep space, Peppy was promoted to general,Fox dumped Krystal because he didnt want to see her get hurt and Krystal's whereabouts are now unknown. This time there is an evil fish who is the new emperor of Venom causing trouble and it seems Starwolf is up to no good either and Wolf, Leon, Panther all have a bounty on them as well. So it seems to promise a good line or at least better than the other Starfox's.

Now on to my comment and speculation. Well obviously playing as other characters other than fox is really good. So far from Hands-on people enjoy playing it. I'm glad Nintendo is taking Fox back into their own hands to save the franchise. I suspect there will be a slew of new characters as well since there are 15 playable characters and there has only been 6 characters on the SF team so assuming eventually we will play as falco, fox, slippy, krystal, peppy, and ROB that leaves 9 other characters to play as. We have seen pics of a female hare maybe she is one of them. So far the game is shaping up well and can hopefully save the franchise.

Released in August? That soon? Cool.

Thank goodness there will be the 6-starfox team members. I thought it was rather irrresponisble of Nintendo to have only 2 characters. Maybe Panther, Leon, and Wold will be secret characters after being the game (Some games let you play as badguys after you beat the game, even though they are still bad).

^Or maybe as a super-secret chatacter, you can unlock Andross, but is limited (like can only do certain missions and is not allowd in multiplayer).

From what I remember about Starfox, doesn't (with the exception to the first) the andross pop out of nowhere as the final boss? (Like he does in Adventures), so he could be behind it-again.

Especially when we could of easily been put in the last mission. Flying+Final Mission=Likely Andross boss.

I heard somewhere that the release date of Command was on July 28th, but I'm not sure if that was reliable or not. Anyway, I'm really looking forward to this game a lot and I can't wait to play it. This is probally the DS game that I'm most looking forward to besides D/P.

Also, Andross was referenced in the NP article. Hopefully that monkey-face like thing will come back. Also, it featured Slippy and his girlfriend. General Peppy looks hilarious. Also, it appears Fox will look normal in cinema's, not the low poly-model.

I dunno lol
I hope this game is good, and it better be, because otherwise....

R.I.P. STARFOX- NO ONE MISSED ME :(

I think that the StarFox series is up there with Kirby and Captain Falcon (They keep handing the rights to other people, and do not know what to do with the franchise). In Kirby's case, he's already dead. X_x

MAKE A GOOD GAME ALREADY! Star Fox 64 was good, so why can't Nintendo build off that!? I hope that's what they've done with this game, otherwise StarFox will die. X_x That game better make up for that atrocious artwork too.

Don't get me wrong here, I'm looking forward to this game. I just hope it won't ruin the franchise...

...Slippy's got a girlfriend....I never thought he had it in him...

I think he showed her just how great he can pilot his great, big LANDMASTER!!! :D

...lol

This is being made by the makers of the original and n64 version. Everyone who has played it has liked it. Also the artwork isnt that horrible it is actually a cleaned up version of the N64 version. I'd rather have the DS fox than a blocky N64 version. Kirby isnt dead. If you believe that then you are horrible mistaken. Most of the kirby games are amazing the only bad one is kirby air ride. They are making a new DS Kirby and a new kirby adventure on the consoles. Most people state the f-zero franchise has improved now that Sega helped make it.

Oi. So hypocritical......

Sorry to say, but Kirby IS dead. The maker of it (Masahiro Sakurai) ditched it and left it with his co-workers. D. E. A. D. If you actually saw it, I'd think you'd think the Kirby game is rather unimpressive. Dreadfully boring IMO. The new Kirby adventure on the cube, well, I'd be surprised if it ever came out. There's only a short stretch of time until the Wii comes, and the makers of the game just really aren't sure what to do with the little, pink guy.

Also, please don't drag F-Zero into the discussion. It is kind of dead though, with the creators just giving it to someone else so they could work on other Nintendo franchises. F-zero GX is good, but that came out 3 years ago. 3 years. Now, F-zero seems to be a fading memory with the consoles being shafted for the portable systems.

And, I'm sorry to say, but the artwork is horrible. OMIGOSH! It was an opinion! :eek: It just looks rather unimpressive to me, that's all.

Sorry if this seemed offensive, but I just wanted to say a few things. Could you please actually discuss the thread instead of bashing me? PLEASE!

One more thing- way to bump. ;P

YAAAAYY I'LL DO A BARREL ROLL!

But I'm trying to find out the characters since there are 15 we currently know: Fox, Falco, Slippy, Krystal, Peppy, R.O.B, Female Bunny, Wolf, Leon, Panter (I saw Star Wolfen ships in the video)

Some people believe Bill and Kat from Star Fox 64 will also be in this game.

Better then you
I really can't wait for this game to come out. I'm sure the game won't be so easy to beat, like the other Starfox games. Anyway I'll be getting for sure.

Peppy iss general??? Noooooo...looks like he wont be telling us to do a barrel roll like in SF64:( Also, I heard Falco's had a girlfriend, Katt or something? As for Kirby and F-Zero, never fear. Think about Metroid: the creator had died, and we didn't see a metroid game for so many years, and then Metroid Prime came out in 2002, and even though the original developer had died, that game was so good! So Kirby and F-Zero aren't dead just yet.

Just because the original creators are gone doesnt mean that the series is dead. Yes, I respect your opinion about artwork I'm just stating that the DS is a cleaned up version of the N64 art thats all. Also you were the one who brought in the F-zero franchise not me. You started talking about captain falcon. I dont think either is dead(matter of opinion) F-zero just had a game in 2003 that was given excellent scores. I like Kirby and do play his games there are two upcoming kirby games so I hardly think the franchise is dead. Your right about the GCN adventure but, it seems they are almost done since it was listed as TBA 2006 at E3.

why would Star Wolf have a bounty on their heads after they directly helped protect the Lylat System from those damn Aparoids >>;

anyway, the controls might feel like being inside an actual arwing

They are a team of mercernaries... They do as they will too. Don't forget even though they worked together to save Lylat from the aparoids they still had worked for Andross. Besides... the SF universe has a lot of plothoes.

They still have commited crimes and worked for Andross. For all we know they just helped out against the aparoids but went back to their usual ways.
