It wasn't fake, it was a mockup done by some guys elsewhere online to try and see who was getting voted for. It wasn't ever meant to be real; people just jumped to conclusions since it used the Smash Ballot website's formatting.
What is Star Fox Horizons? This is the first I heard of it.
I was told that Star Fox: Horizons was a fake and that it involved a phishing scam. Though I'm sure there is someone else here who knows more about what happened there with Horizons if you're looking for more info about it
I saw on Nintendo's website a place for Star Fox: Horizons, but on a Google search I found a thing called Star Fox: Event Horizons. So I have no idea.
Event Horizon is a fangame, if I remember right. Spearheaded by the same person as Hyrule: Total War.
This is exactly what I understand of that whole deal. It was debunked before the direct even happened. Star Fox Wii U's actual title is still unknown at this time.
It's true. That site for Starfox Horizons was one big elaborate hoax done by someone that was traced from France. They got us really well for an April Fools joke. Besides, we're guaranteed to hear more info on Starfox Wii U at E3 this year like how Miyamoto confirmed it earlier this year and that we will all look forward to. That's what matters.
Agreed, although aren't platinum working on some Xbone game?

That would be awesome although seems really unlikely. If that happens, I think we could start calling the "Adventures" series it's own spin-off series from Star Fox. That's how it would be treated I imagine since the game play is so different mostly. I think having a dedicated spin-off series would be awesome since it would promise to bring us more games like Adventures. Really, that's my only reason for liking that notion however, since I'm more than happy with Star Fox proper making more games like Adventures. I just know that lots of Star Fox fans wouldn't like that.
Last I heard, there's two other projects that are developmentally related to Star Fox Wii U. One is Project Giant Robot and the other is Project Guard. I've looked both up but there's no indication that their development is under anyone but Miyamoto, but there's a chance they're related to some team that may be helping with more Star Fox stuff. Thing is, both those projects are gameplay experiments which is very much a Miyamoto thing. This could be where he's occupying himself while another team is working on stuff that's not so much his forte, such as details, story, etc.
Honestly, just being able to choose your character would be great, maybe things could change depending on who you pick giving the game more replay value through the characters having different missions although they're together most of the time so it's not like it's something that's hard to do. I always wondered why they didn't do it with assault since the other characters are already playable in the multiplayer.
Totally! I can see a main campaign being the usual Fox lead main story, but then having a chance after beating the main story to play through it as Falco. The events will be the same, but as Falco you might have a chance to explore a different side-story or go to a mission area Fox couldn't reach. Maybe some missions Fox is on the ground and Falco is covering in the air and as Falco you get to experience covering Fox instead of running around as Fox.
Oh and maybe each character can have different abilities and stats which is what command did. For example, Krystal has twin lasers, with less smart bombs but more shields while Fox is basic. Slippy has multilock, less boost, more smart bombs etc.
Yeah, giving the characters different attributes in the air and not just on-foot is a cool idea. Command only had vehicle missions but that notion of different attributes for each character's vehicles was a good idea... although I wasn't a fan of the wildly different designs for each Arwing.
They didn't look too different though, at least for the main star fox team. The rest don't really matter
I feel like I remember Slippy's being really "fat". It looked like an F-117, heh. I mean, the variations were cool but it feels less like a team "squadron" I guess. It's really just a nitpick of mine. They are mercs though so it should make sense that they'd have different or customized ships. I basically like the idea of vehicles having different attributes but I can take or leave the idea that they need to look different too.
I think you are referring to Scalebound, if I remember right.
That's the one
Krystal isn't a "psychic" in the same vein as Robin or Ness. She doesn't possess visible powers. She's a telepath/empath. The most that gives her is a perception of what a person or people is/are thinking or feeling. In Smash the only way this skill is likely to manifest itself is in a counter or something like it.
So like, a "Star Fox Adventures HD"? Same game, just HD and a couple things added, one of them being the option to play the game as Krystal?
Exactly!
Oh, I'd love that! I never got to play the original.
I wouldn't mind that as well and they can do an HD remake of Assault as well. Imagine that. Boy I wish if Nintendo can start bringing GameCube games in the Wii U VC library.
I wonder how they would tackle the story? It'd be pretty unusual to have Krystal and Fox's roles in the game swapped. That said, if they are to remake Star Fox Adventures, I would happily buy it.
It could just be an option that was only a cosmetic change. There was an AR cheat that let you do this in the original I think. You'd essentially be Fox as Krystal saving yourself, if that makes sense.
What comments are you seeing. I only saw like one comment that was hating on Krystal and that was it.
That's something I have been thinking that a Starfox game should have an would really enhance the player's experience while playing the game to have a Campaign story. It would be the next evolved step in the series. I've always loved stories where it focuses on the same story from those characters point of views in different ways. That way, you'll learn what happened to them before it leads up to something big where they run into each other. This has been going on for quite a while whether it is in a movie or in video games. But I see it happen in video games more often. One perfect example of a IP that has been doing this is the Resident Evil franchise, but in the later games of the series like RE4, 5, 6 and Resident Evil Revelations 2 as an example. If something can be done like this for a Starfox game where you can play more than just Fox, then I'm all ears there. Because obviously each character would have unique traits and attributes that the other character doesn't have and certain missions that only a certain character can do. You know, the more I see on the Amiibos that Nintendo has been doing lately with the Smash series Amiibos, Super Mario series Amiibos, new Yoshi Amiibo lineup(based on the upcoming Wooly World) and now with the Splatoon Amiibos(figurines like the Smash and Super Mario series), I can really see them doing a Starfox Amiibo lineup(also as figurines) for sure especially with SF Wii U being compatible with them as Miyamoto confirmed it. Hopefully we'll hear that at E3 soon. BTW, guys here's something that you need to see I found online from the Krystal Archive website.
I don't see anything really, but I wouldn't be surprised. I'm listening to the video to see what I hear. And about what they're discussing, I thought the so called "American" results were kind of guesswork. I never saw that the chart was made based on real poll data someone collected or even what kind of sample size we're talking about or where that sample was taken from. I'll edit in other thoughts after I've heard the rest.

Were there others like this? Like one for the Star Wolf team? They need to do Star Fox Hanafuda cards.
I fear the idea may be too good to be true. To create depth like that would be a huge undertaking. Star Fox Wii U will likely be relatively simplistic since it's reviving the series and it's in Miyamoto's hands. But the console is powerful and there are expectations for the game. It needs to live up to at least some of it's potential to be successful. A game that's basically just "Star Fox 64 2" may not cut it because it doesn't stretch the game enough. I expect an "Assault 2" at least, which would be okay... but I think we could do better. I know they can do better, but we'll see what fraction of the absolutely massive potential this game has will be realized.That's something I have been thinking that a Starfox game should have an would really enhance the player's experience while playing the game to have a Campaign story.

Nice pic btw. I have seen it before.
@[Obnoxshush/Dasshizer] and @[jahkzheng]
Yeah I know. As much as it would be an awesome idea, it is wishful thinking on our parts. Either way, all of us are going to enjoy Starfox Wii U no matter what once it's revealed to the world at E3. I can feel it and we all have waited a long time for this. As for the pic I posted there, I don't know if there is one for the Star Wolf team. That is what I was able to find.
You somehow managed to put your comment in Wolfheart's quote.
