Krystal is popular with some internet... um... sub-cultures, that's some bonus sales right there. Jar Jar, on the other hand, was very hated. For a better example, it'd be like rebooting Star Wars but including Maul and Grievous.

Star Fox needs the Superman Returns treatment where they pretend only the first two games exist (which storyline wise are identical anyway).  Anyone who puts Krystal in the game for example isn't the right dev for the job.  The right team would HATE Krystal because they would hate Star Fox Adventures and would never want anything resembling that game to be in their Star Fox game.  That's like trying to reboot Star Wars but with Jar Jar Binks in it.

And if Nintendo refuses to drop the crappy Star Fox games from continuity then just make it take place in between Star Fox 64 and Adventures.  Easy as pie.

I don't care if they put Krystal in it, or even Slippy's dad and girlfriend, as long as it plays like Star Fox 64.

I would love it if Star Fox 2 was released on the VC.  I'd love to try it out on a TV with a real controller and the whole bit.

That's why I put it in my Homebrew Channel, it's on TV and I can use a Classic Controller.

Preach brother PREACH!!!!!!

just let Treasure make it and for fans who cares if casuals think its to hard or to overwhelming they can go **** themselves.  I had more fun playing Sin and Punishment than any star fox game since SF64.

I liked Assault, and I like Krystal, even if I didn't like Adventure, because she's a good female lead in the series and she was interesting in Command. Still, I agree with Miyamoto on not loaning out their franchises anymore.

And Star Fox 2 definately should be on the VC, but since the original isn't even on there yet, I won't be holding my breath.

How much dialogue is in the thing? I wouldn't mind paying extra to recoup the translation cost, tho again it'd be nice to just get the original out there (that's why I thought people were talking about the game in this thread until I saw Miyamoto's quote on third parties handling their franchises).

Why must all things be so bright? Why can things not appear only in hues of brown! I am so serious about this! Dull colors are the future! The next generation! I will never accept a world with such bright colors! It is far too childish! I will rage against your cheery palette with my last breath!

I JUST beat Gyrostarr.  I quite liked that game a lot.  It pretty much ruled. Totally worth every penny.

I'm tempted to give a 10. Seriously.  I would have loved to see however:

- Square attack mode, as in a continues track where you sped up very slowly but it never ended.  Geometry Wars style.
- Online Co-op.  I've never played multi with this game, but it probably would have been awesome.

Well I heard that there were some technical issues when Telltale submitted it to Nintendo so technically Telltale had to fix it.

really a 10? I would give it a 7.5 it became way to tedious near the end and wasn't a real ending per say so it felt hollow. If it would stay FAST for more than a minute than it would of been more awesome.

Nintendo has sent us 3 games today for Wiiware we have Helix for 1000 points. On the VC we have Y's Book 1 and 2 for 800 points. It is a Turbo Graphix-16  Cd game and Samurai Shodown 2 for 900 points on the Neo Geo.
I plan on picking up Helix and Y's Book 1/2.

It's an irrational score because I just finished the game and had a lot of fun with it's addicting ness.

I guess I didn't like the bonus levels so I'd drop the score for that.

Yeah, and it's pretty safe to say your continent has been on a downward slope ever since.  ;)
