Star Fox 0

Perhaps I should change the tagline to 'A barrel roll of laughs'? :noelcoward:

Do it, Zero!

20th of November, eh?  Splendid.  The only problem is which out of SF0, MTUS, and XCX are going to be Big Christmas Games.

The Falco Amiibo is out the same day I believe, I think we all know what that means...

Devoed, mate. Star Fox Zero pushed back to Q1 2016.

Much disappoint at the delay; trust Ninty it's the right call though.

What Muss said, though; and I hope that XCX will get a bit more attention as a result.

Like what I said about Persona 5 sooner it's delayed then rushed but Q1 2016 looks worse then Q4 2015 in terms of games but I think that's because some are avoiding a certain 3 titles.

Well 2016 is going to be a fantastic year of games at this rate. An upshot of this is I will have more time with XCX which will probably tide me over until SF comes out anyway.

This was probably a good decision, the game was looking a tad rushed and lacking that Nintendo sheen in my opinion.

It's going to be the right decision, I'm sure of it; after all, a return to 'proper' Star Fox (with the requisite apologies to andyman) has to be done right. It's my most wanted Wii U game, though, and the delay leaves me looking at my backlog (and the 3DS, natch) for solace.

Honestly, if this is anything like its predecessor, it deserves to be Nintendo's holiday game, and with luck the SF0 delay will give it the time and space it deserves.

I'm really feeling this.

People who aren't are a bunch of jokers.

Doesn't change for me with XCX as it's in December but now I'm going to get Mario Tennis.

Could the delay have been for online MP

Did anyone actually enjoy the multiplayer in Star Fox 64/Lylat Wars?

I can't remember it to be honest but I know there was something about the lack off MP in SF:Z from some that Nintendo may of listened to them.

Me and the lads had some good fun on the Starfox multiplayer. Certainly, given some proper TLC it could lead to a really fun spacey shoot-em-up.
Most importantly, Starfox 64 multiplayer is where the insult "Battle of Egg" comes from, as in:

"This is a battle of wits!"
"Oh yeah? Well you're a battle of egg!"

Blame muss.

I'm going to defend LW's battle mode as well, although if I'm honest I probably liked it because I was young and had no discernment when it came to game quality. I thought OoT and SM64 were overrated, for crying out loud!

Even at that age, though, I knew that the Sector Z "arena" was excrement.

Played it once, I think? As for the amiibo functionality - "Scan Fox or Falco to start the game with twin lasers!", given Nintendo's recent record.

I was thinking skins for the ships Zero for MP, I did play MP in Assault and that was rather good with a few mates.

The multiplayer has the potential to be amazing. In addition to the dog-eat-dog dogfights, imagine a co-op campaign that scales up in difficulty the more wingmen you have (bagsy not Slippy). It might well be Arwing skins that amiibi provide, mas - that's a really good shout. I'm just not holding out that much hope.

Never tried it but Command was great fun in multiplayer.

Lylat Wars' multiplayer was alright, but I do remember it feeling a little repetitive. But who knows: Mario Kart 8 and Splatoon are mega-awesome, so I'm quite optimistic about that.

(Other memories: playing Lylat Wars as a teenager with a couple of mates round; my mum asks if she can also play, and then she absolutely wiped the floor with us )
