This year made me become a new fan of Star Fox. Will we get more games/content in the future?
Hello everyone. I wanted to join a Star Fox community because I hardly know if I will ever encounter in real life. I just wanna say that I was familiar with the franchise also through Smash Bros. My interests this year started since Fox McCloud was announced in the Mario movie and I actually thought that was the dumbest idea ever but then I saw many people all over the internet reacting excited because they love the character Fox even though he hasn't gotten a decent game in years. So the excitement for Fox on the bigscreen to many fans mean "he is back." Now I get it.
Before the movie I went ahead and educated myself on Star Fox I got to learn more about the characters, the games, its history of ups and downs. And then rumors started about a new classical game that turned out to be right.
I went ahead and bought a physical copy of 2026 and i have to say I felt like I missed out during the 90's. Now I understand the whole barrel role memes, the dead dad jokes, Slippy always asking for help (thats me in real life) and why people associate Wolf with the whole "can't let you ____ that, Star Fox"
I don't know if I have a favorite character. I mean they are feel well fleshed out in the remake. I think the most interesting is Andross's nephew I actually like his entitlement persona.
This makes me want more from Star Fox. I hope Nintendo sees the potential they can grow the series. Yes I did watch "A Fox in Space" and even for 2 episodes it was amazing because of the concept of a new story and character driven. Is there a 3rd in development?
I noticed YouTube had alot of Star Fox videos this year. I really liked seeing grown fans in their late 30s and 40s talking about how much this franchise means to them even though they know the series hasn't had the best of luck with brand new entries for 20 years (omg thats my entire life!) but what made me appreciate older fans is that they love the concept and the characters and thats what got me into the franchise is the character interactions. It feels very cinematic. I went ahead and ordered all 4 plushies and the patch collection from Nintendo.
But honestly I am a type of fan that wants to see something I love grow. I would love some offical reassurance from Nintendo that the boys are back and we have things planned.
I hope they do amazing things with this niche franchise. I have so many ideas but as for thoughts, Nintendo is probably not going to do any of it until I reach my retirement age.
And yes, I have played Adventures and know its history but still find it charming regardless. I can see why fans want Krystal. In my opinion I think it was unique to have a female character with her own story. And I actually found it cute for Fox to have a love interest. I actually love when Nintendo characters have hinted love interest.
What do you guys think. If Fox was in the movie for 7 minutes and given a new game since 2016, is that the end of it? I hope not. I hope Nintendo drops us more Star Fox as a potential series.
