So if I'm understanding it correctly, they got tired of people sequence breaking to the point where they put half the game on rails?

I'm sure all the people clamoring for the story to be continued after Fusion will be loving this news. It also makes complete sense for the continuation of the series. Complete sense. Yep.

to be totally fair, I don't see why that would be so outlandish... considering, you know, she's been fighting aliens?

I'm not sure this is a way to salvage the franchise after Other M...

That said, alteast they're making Samus' parts silent again.

i guess i don't get why nintendo doesn't just enlist retro to do a straight-up star fox game. aren't there millions of people out there who would love that? i certainly would. fuck metroid.

One shall stand, one shall ball.

Because the game would be "too short" they would get shredded if they released another Star Fox on a console that was around the same length as 64.

Okay now why they need to do is combine f zero with Metroid and star fox for a sweet racing game

Actually yes do that. I would buy that.

Maybe ten bucks and as a downloadable game, you know damn well people would still bitch at thirty. Gamers are stupid as hell.

I don't know if it's easy as that, arcade-y flight games just aren't the sort of games you spend hours on at a time, there's only so much you can do with it. I love 64 to death but it really is about as long as you can make a game like that, you could extend some levels but that's not going to add a couple hours to the game and if it did it'd probably get tedious. Honestly if the problem with a series is that the games would be too short for the current market the answer is probably to just let it sit not shoehorn in ways to make it "acceptable". Downloadable might be the way to go actually, but Nintendo's terrified of the internet so there's no chance.

Alternatively, Star Fox Super Star: 8 Games on 1 Disc!
