![]() ![]() Rare got many out of original IPs even beside DK games. But then again every pitch Retro has gets pushed aside and it's sad. Some people get that chance others don't. Or Sakarai (sure one notable person besides however many that also assisted development and aren't as well known in the industry) even with Meteos or Kid Icarus Uprising beside Smash or whatever else. Which sure their decision but in Retro's case I'm not surprised why they wouldn't have had people leave to make new studios to get IP ideas out they want if many got rejected existing or new IP while Rare always got many out. Then again how many veterans have formed new studios. Wasn't too familiar with their ports or other original games but enjoyed the one I have from them. Or Platinum had more control their other games show they can do more with ship and otherwise combat and ideas even.Įven then I loved ReCore by Amarture it's one of the few games I won't sell my Xbox One I enjoyed it. I didn't mind Star Fox Zero even if 'not a retelling again' would have been nice and even then I'm a newcomer not played other entries other than Command or Zero. No news is most certainly not good news with this game. Oh, and this is assuming MP4 even comes out soon. Poor decision making by Nintendo, and as for Retro, maybe one day we'll learn about the project(s) that have clearly been abandoned between Tropical Freeze releasing on and the day they got moved onto MP4. I believe they would have benefitted from developing both games together - allow the team a rest from the pressure cooker. Who really would have cared if MP4 ended up 2024 but we had new Donkey Kong in 2022. We've already waited 6 years for MP4 with no new Donkey Kong game. Why they haven't released a third Donkey Kong Returns game in this period is bewildering. I suspect we're going to hear all sorts of horror stories from the devs working on that title with the pressure they must all be under. I don't think it's an exaggeration to suggest the studio is on the line with Metroid Prime 4. Mon 6th Feb Yea, it's absolutely crazy.Will Star Fox make a surprise return for Nintendo's next console? Let us know what you'd like to see from a follow-up title in the comments! For the full details of everything that Armada was hoping to achieve, however, check out the complete Did You Know Gaming? video below: Subscribe to Nintendo Life on YouTube Unfortunately, Retro passed on this pitch supposedly with little debate. ![]() ![]() This would have resulted in massive online dogfights with your friends and surprise attacks from other squads while you were busy in missions. Star Fox' once again.Īnd what about the 'Armada' of the title? The game was pitched with a heavy online aspect, letting you build your own team of animal pilots to take the galaxy by storm. In terms of an aesthetic, Kozlowsky was aware that the Wii U couldn't keep up with the PS4 or Xbox One in terms of realistic graphics, so had pitched the game as having puppet-like visuals much like the series' early promotional material.This would have allowed the team at Retro to still create a convincing anthropomorphised squad, without the need to make them look uncannily real - we're picturing 'Fantastic Mr. The story would see the team attempting to rebuild the Lylat System after the fall of Andross, throwing it right back to the 1997 N64 title. This was not going to be a title à la Star Fox Adventures where you would see McCloud hopping out of his ship to tackle enemies on foot, oh no instead, Armada was proposed as classic Star Fox through and through - taking out foes while flying through space. Star Fox Armada was to be a follow-up to Star Fox 64 both narratively and in terms of gameplay. While the studio would eventually pass on the title, Kozlowsky shared his 24-page pitch document with the channel and discussed many of the game's proposed features. In its most recent video, the channel got a chance to talk to Eric Kozlowsky, a former Retro Studios artist, who had pitched a game titled 'Star Fox Armada' back in early 2013. In the ensuing period while we wait (fingers tightly crossed) for news of a series reboot, the good folk over on the DidYouKnowGaming? YouTube channel have been digging into one of the series' cancelled titles at Retro Studios. It has been a good few years now since we last checked in with everyone's favourite fox fighter pilot in Star Fox Zero (seven years, to be precise) and the chances of him returning to the Switch seem to lessen everyday. ![]()
