Talking Point: What Would You Want From A New Star Fox Game?
Nintendo Life has launched a discussion asking readers what they would like to see in a new Star Fox game. The publication’s editorial team shared their perspectives on the franchise, with editor Gavin Lane providing his viewpoint on the series’ history. Lane described Star Fox 64 (known as Lylat Wars internationally) as his definitive entry point into gaming, playing it on the Nintendo 64 with a Rumble Pak. He credited the game with ushering him into a new era of gaming through its exciting B-movie spectacle and remains nostalgic for that experience.
Lane reflected on the broader Star Fox franchise, noting that the original SNES entry feels too rudimentary compared to later iterations. While he acknowledged that subsequent titles—including Star Fox Adventures, Star Fox Command, and Star Fox Zero—attempted to innovate with new mechanics and ideas, none have replicated the magic of Star Fox 64. His perspective aligns with a common fan sentiment that Star Fox 64 remains the franchise’s high point. The discussion invites readers to share their own wishes for the franchise’s future direction, gauging what features and gameplay styles would appeal to the Star Fox fanbase.
