It's not the transformations, it's graphically. It looks poor graphically, he means.

But in hindsight that whole Muppet thing would have been less smug if the Digital Event had been stellar.

Not that using the Gamepad is a bad thing. I love it.

Also I don't see why Arwing transformation suddenly makes the game look like a movie tie-in...? What are you even talking about? I thought the walker looked like fun to play as, and it probably controls much better than the on-foot sections in Star Fox Assault. [Which was a mostly great game, by the way. I ****ing love it.]
You can't use the pro controller in Splatoon single player. Only in local multi.

The graphics on the game just look sub par and cobbled together. Thats where the movie tie in feeling comes from.

The transformation stuff to me just felt like it's gonna be something that complicates stuff too much. Especially with the two screen juggling.

Sections with different arwing forms? Sure. Switching back and forth just looks awkward from the gameplay on the treehouse stream.

Yeah it is a bit weird. Honestly I forgot the New 3DS even existed. There's only, what... two exclusive* games known for it at this point?


*by exclusive, I mean on New 3DS but not regular 3DS. Both games are ports from other systems. lawl

Star Fox Zero doesn't look like a remake of Star Fox 64/Lylat Wars anyway but rather a remake of the pretty much finished but never released Star Fox 2. I've never gotten round to playing it (although I keep meaning to) but the footage I've seen looks uncannily similar which from what I've heard should be a good thing.

Using the gamepad doesn't bother me. Most of the Wii U games can be played on either. Here it just seems you can switch between first and third person perspective on either, doesn't seem like it's forcing it on you. Same with the gyroscopic controls which I'm sure will be optional.

While gyro controls could be mandatory, you don't have to look at the Gamepad the whole time. In the Treehouse play through they switched cockpit mode to the TV screen multiple times.

Nintendo's game showings weren't great, but the new amiibo are. I already wanted all three Yarn Yoshis, and then they announce an eight figure Animal Crossing wave, must have for me. Plus that 8-bit Mario is neat. I wish the scalpers would go to the Smash figures and leave these ones alone.

Yes, exactly. The people throwing fits over gyroscopic controls are the tittybabies throwing fits that the Wii U is using the tech that makes the console unique. If you don't like the gamepad, don't get a Wii U, it's not for you -- that's what the PS4 and Xbone are for.

I swear. People rag on Nintendo for not using the gamepad enough in Wii U games, then when they use the gamepad in their games, people rag on Nintendo for making use of the gamepad in their games. When I told my brother about Star Fox Zero his FIRST question was "so are they actually making use of the gamepad this time?" He was happy to hear that the answer was "yes". As should everyone else. This is unique technology and I want to see what comes from it. If it's a mis-step, whatever, it's a mis-step, but we won't know until we play it.

Sounds like they're mad that Yooka-Laylee happened.

They're so mad.

That pirate joint looks like it could be fun and I'm definitely getting their collection on the One, so I'm alright with it.

I'm fine with the gamepad and the uses other games have made of it. Don't give me that 'IT'S NOT FOR YOU' garbage.

Gyro controls though are never good. When Sony did it as well. I can look at what was shown and say 'Hm...Don't look good'. Why are you getting all defensive about this?

I've played with Nintendo's gyro controls for other games and done just fine with them. I've had a blast with them, actually, because it's fun and interesting.

Literally the only game I've played that I didn't mind the Gyro Controls was Face Raiders on the 3DS.

If you've had fun. Good for you. I can still say that the gyro stuff I've seen for Star Fox doesn't look fun at all and looks like it'll be an annoyance more than anything else.

Then you don't have to buy it.

But I certainly will.

Ok? That's wonderful.

I still don't know why you're pulling such a damn attitude over this ish. Unless you REALLY love gyro controls.
