They would do it as an honest attempt to bring Star Fox back from the dead.
Upon first impression, I did not like the new art style for Star Fox at all. They seemed intentionally designed to be unappealing and somewhat grotesque. The new designs are very opinionated, but now I think that’s very respectable. I don’t mind the designs anymore, but I believe the Illumination movie version design was a lot better.
Other than the character art style, the game looks gorgeous at least. Nintendo really put a lot of money on it. The new cutscenes seem extensive and the online multiplayer mode could be interesting. I wish it was a remake of SNES Star Fox, since that one is the hardest to go back to, but it looks like a lot of work was put into it.
Also, since this is a remake of Star Fox 64, which was a remake of SNES’s Star Fox, let’s see:
1. 64
2. 3DS
3. Zero
4. Switch 2
So counting SNES, it’s 5 versions of the same game.
