I wish the other members of team Star Fox were playable in a way that was easy and seamless, like say, instead of playing the whole mission as one character you are able to switch between each member in the game-play. Say you are Fox and Slippy is being attacked, if you are on the other side of the map you can instead either switch, with a button press or something, to Slippy and deal with them or switch to a closer Team Mate like Falco and take out the enemies that way.
Like, Star Fox has so much potential such as On-Foot mission like we saw during Assault and other kinds like Shealth missions, escort missions Ugh Escort missions... , Awing Customization for not just Fox but all members of Star Fox, switching between the team members in like a Party system like Kingdom Hearts of other JRPGs (That way if people want they can just ditch Krystal for Peppey or whatever) Being able to use the Great Fox during Space battles, and work on an actual good story.
But sadly Nintendo doesn't see it like that and instead wants to keep things easier and more in the past.
