Title: Prediction about Star Fox 2
Post by: Strell on September 02, 2003, 08:26:02 PM: It will use Lan capabilities.

I hope this hasn't been confirmed already or this post is going to make me look really stoopid. :B

For one I put out that it will really help with the multiplayer matches in that you can have seperate screens.

Post by: Strell on September 03, 2003, 06:08:45 AM: Well, I would have said that by watching the movie that was released yesterday (Sept. 2), that several of the characters are moving/running in such a fashion that it looks like LAN play. They are strafing, firing at each other, etc. It's fairly obvious that deathmatches and the like will be part of the multiplayer.

Meh. Bill wins.

Most of Nintendo's games sell really well despite all the anti-Nintendo cr*p going around and I don't see why Starfox would be an exception.

I don't know. Both Pikmin and Animal Crossing were original titles with no existing audience and they managed to sell well.
If the game is as good as I think it will be, I think it will not only sell to the existing Starfox fans but make a whole horde of new ones as well.
It's not going to be a MASSIVE hit of GTA proportions or anything like that but I'm sure it will sell more than well enough to keep Namco happy.

Post by: The Omen on September 03, 2003, 12:35:55 PM: I wasn't saying it won't sell well, but pointing out it has a large audience already, and it will draw in new fans, but the majority will be fans from previous SF games. Kind of like Metroid Prime. It will get very good sales (assuming its a good game), but ultimately it wont sell as much as it should. Metroid and Zelda both should've sold more, IMO, and SF being a second tier, albeit great, Nintendo series, will sell less.

Post by: Hostile Creation on September 04, 2003, 11:30:21 AM: LAN? Cool. My friend and I are both definitely getting this (both big Star Fox fans), so LAN multiplayer will be a blast with all the gumbo folk. Gumbo folk being my friends.

I have a question. . . LAN requires two copies of the game doesn't it (or however many cubes you hook up. . .). If so, I can kiss Kirby LAN goodbye, probably. My friend did look interested in it, but I dunno if he'll get it or not. MK is still an option, of course.
