Anyway, Star Fox 2, or Armada, which ever it is called, is comming out. And I thought that I should inform people of the facts, of my most beloved game franchise.
It is comming to Japan in the Summer, America in September. - we hope
It is being developed by Namco, published by Nintendo.
It will have a massive multiplayer game segement, as well as a huge single game mode.
It will also probably end up in arcades on the trifrorce system.
Fox, Peppy, Slippy, Falco, Kat, Bill, and even the foxy blue fox Crystal will be playable in the game.
More info at E3.
Untill then happy posting.

should probably have waited till more information has been released, cause well most of this is common knowledge, Namco was announced as the developer before last years E3, so yeah... not really alot to discuss you see..

haha! 100% official. gold.
how dare you finish off with, "happy posting" !!??? what could we possibly post after you single handedly delivered all the "facts" ???
this thread has failed to quench my thirst for all things "100%" and "official"... *lets out tremendous sigh*
well, im off to start an ORIGINAL thread of my own... "500% official super truthful fact filled ACTION thread for mario 128"
I MEAN, IS IT 128 MARIOS???? OR IS IT LIKE, MARIO AT THE RIPE OLD AGE OF 128???? OR MAYBE ITS A GAME WITH 128 LEVELS BASED ON BLA BLA bla bla.....

Quotei'm sorry, but has any of that been confirmed or is it just a mixture of pure speculation with a dash of hope thrown in for good measure?

...where it will see a very limited production run and no one will be able play it. In theory I thought the triforce arcade idea was really cool but it just isn't practical since arcades are so obscure these days. The arcade/console release for F-Zero GX in the end was just a big rip-off since most of us were derived of tracks and characters that should have been in the game but weren't because they put them in the arcade version instead. If Nintendo puts Star Fox in the arcade hopefully they won't include any exclusive content for 99% of us to miss out on.
"Fox, Peppy, Slippy, Falco, Kat, Bill, and even the foxy blue fox Crystal will be playable in the game."
Is anyone besides me irritated that Crystal is in the game? She's not a "real" Star Fox character. She's a Dinosaur Planet character shoehorned into the Star Fox universe. I would prefer it if Nintendo did not acknowledge anything introduced in Star Fox Adventures in any future Star Fox games. In fact I would be happy if Nintendo simply ignored that game for all eternity.
To me including any references to SFA in "official" Star Fox games is like acknowledging the CD-i Zelda games in future Zelda releases.

So yeah, I don't mind having Krystal in the game, considering Fox needed a new partner anyway...(Looks like Slippy's back in the saddle, but Peppy's still aging ^_^)

If Starfox 2 has an arcade version it will be kind of cool, but like Ian said, it would have a very limited release and most that cared about it could play it, but if they do make an arcade version, let them make everything possible to get without going to the arcad.
Then again, if they do have content that you need acces to an arcade version to get, like those exclusive parts in F-zero, there is this thing called an AR that I heard can get you things that can't normally be gotten...

Back onto Starfox 2, does anyone else think that is supposed to be kind of like the NGC version of Battle Feild 1942/Veitnam. I say that because of the fact that jumping into veihicles is a major part of the game, and in one video Fox is seen standing atop an Arwing that seems to be piloted by some one else.
Post by: Ian Sane on April 23, 2004, 09:56:59 PM
I certainly hope not. This is Star Fox, not generic flight related game with Star Fox license to boost sales. Or at least it BETTER not be like that. Star Fox is an on-rails shooter and if the final product is anything but I'm going to be annoyed.
Post by: anubis6789 on April 23, 2004, 10:04:24 PM
I don't care if it doesn't have rails shooting in it, or if they make it more flight simy, as long as it is kept with an arcade style of play. I can see were you are coming from though.

Because Star Fox 64 is one of the best games I have ever played, especially in replay value.
Post by: Henrietta on April 24, 2004, 01:55:42 PM
I don't know much about star fox armada (which has the same initials as star fox adventures, which could get confusing [SFA]), but I don't exactly like where it's headed. I supposed on foot battling and third person shooting won't be entirely bad, but I DON'T want to see any of that in the single player mode.

That would be cool. Personally I am hoping for less all range mode and more on rails action. The levels in Star Fox 64 were really good and I hope they continue the diversity in the craft(Aquas and the train level (cant remember name of level))
If they do make it like Battlefield then it could be really cool, but only if it is online. It would be much too chaotic for a split screen experience. Even LAN would be ok, but what worries me is that Nintendo keeps making all these games that seem to require a full screen(metroid, etc.) and it seems that split screen has reached its full potential and its time to move on.

Honestly, go do yourself a favor and pick up 64, and especially the original if you have an SNES...

That it could confuse gamers going in to the store thinking they are getting an Action/Adventure.

But anyway, I am happy for two reasons.
1. This article actually lasted at least a whole day before being banned.
2. I am glad that so many people love Star Fox.
I never knew. I thought that I was the only one.
Long live the legend, of the greatest game of all time, Star Fox 64!
But one more question. Why if everyone hates this post so much did it reach a thirty plus posting mark?

Its not banned yet so dont fret.
Anyway I HOPE that they improve the GFX because when it was shown last it looked like a 64 game.

And boy, you need to stop calling things official, staff are the only ones that can make an official thread.

looks at Zoness and Venom (entrance)

Still, this game had a pretty mediocre trailer at the last E3... I really hope they've picked it up a bit.
Post by: MattVDB on April 27, 2004, 08:31:13 PM
I'm stoked, and can't wait for the revised graphics and play control. I'm a huge fan. Almost as big as Bill I would say. ;-)

And with the new me at ver 2.0 I am here to please.
Update on Star Fox, it has once again been delayed.
Tune in tomorrow for more ground breaking news.
