There was a survey made by an official gaming magazine (not just a guy running an online poll) the survey asked 430 japanse gamers who they voted for/would vote for.
Another tough choice. Ian, I'm having a hard time deciding... Namco by the thinnest of margins for consistency's sake.
Really? Is there a link to this anywhere?
Technically we can eliminate Retro, since they are probably developing a new Metroid
Yes, I completely agree with what you said. That veterans wanted gameplay that handled like 64, but wasn't a 64 rehash. It matches up with the opinions from the disappointed players I've seen around the internet. The 64 veterans also don't like the way they're handling Zoness. They think a slow moving stealth section in an arcade rails shooter is bonkers and has no place in Star Fox. I have a mixed opinion about that myself. Experimenting is good, but what I've seen hasn't exactly thrilled me.
This isn't Metal Gear Solid we are talking about, although a stealth mission would be good in an Assault style game
I wouldn't say Retro is totally out of the question. We can't possibly say when we'll get another Star Fox after Zero, hopefully sooner rather than later, but for all we know Retro could be done with the next Metroid at that point. Still I'd rather have Namco handle it with Retro being a close second.
Though all are good candidates, but did I make a good point about most people not wanting a SF64 rehash and Miyamoto needing to be put in an advisory role for Star Fox: NX
Yeah, I feel like it'd definitely help him if he let some other figures he trusted shoulder more of the burden. I kind of wonder if all the responsibilities he's put on himself have been affecting some of the questionable creative decisions he's made (i.e. Sticker Star).
Especially with Platinum's talent for developing games being wasted since EAD did most of the creative work
Um... ?!?!?!!?!??
Same, I'm awful at the flying sections, especially off-rails
The guy definitely hasn't aged well.
I'd rather not denigrate Miyamoto any further than I already have. He loves this series as much as any of us. Even the best minds have their creative slumps and if Zero is shown to be underwhelming overall, then we can conclude Miyamoto needs a second opinion. Preferably from a developer who isn't afraid to say no to someone of his standing. I've pledged to hold out on a review until I've played the game. It's much too early for me to say it's a disaster until I've had the opportunity to dig in and see what it has to offer. Granted, I'm not liking what I'm hearing. The multiplayer thing is whatever, but I don't understand why they had to remove a staple item like the nova bombs or why they feel they had to make an already intuitive game so much more accessible for the casual goers. Krystal's absence is a subjective blow to the game's quality. It's the other things that are wholly valid.
Sounds an awful lot like the PushedDustIn survey. He's part of a small online gaming news blog called Source Gaming, but I guess you could call that an "official magazine". He's certainly done a lot of work in data gathering by digging deep into various Japanese Smash communities. It's still just a survey however. It is unique though in that in gives us at least an idea about Japanese support in the ballot.

Yay for vagueness.
Magnemite... are they serious!? Probably a joke vote but accoriding to whoever wrote this he seems to be the second most voted pokemon character just how LOL.
I am in complete agreement with you. Do you have any idea how long I have been waiting for a new Starfox game? It's finally happening and I can't wait to get it. And if anyone doesn't want to get this game, then they shouldn't play it. More power to us fans. But to have people complain about something like graphics and ignore everything else to what the game offers can be ridiculous. Besides, remember to what they said about Zero ' s gyro controls can be turned off? You can do that and you're not forced to play with those controls. Having more than one control option in games like this is always a good thing. And regarding about Zero does in sales, I think it'll do fine as a game itself. I mean come on, it's Starfox and fans have been wanting a new game in the series for a long time now and we're finally getting one.

There's no denying that from what we've seen so far the game does seem to have its faults, but no game is absolutely perfect. Having a few downsides isn't going to automatically equal a terrible game and it's way too early to tell how it's going to pan out. I'm personally not going form a solid opinion on Zero until I've played it myself. It's perfectly fine to express your worries about the game, I just personally wouldn't dismiss it completely until it's actually been released and we know for sure what we're getting.
Not counting throwaway votes (Banjo, Geno, Ashley), Krystal is in the top 10, damn gurl, get itI searched for when part 2 of that survery would come out, but it looks like PushDustin hasn't set a definite timetable for when to expect it. In any case, Krystal has a stronger presence in Japan than I realized! I'm dying to see the hard numbers.
Yeah, other throwaway votes are any other character from the Sonic franchise (Only one rep per 3rd party franchise seems fair and logical)
Do you think Krystal is popular in the UK, where Rare is based?
Heeeey, that's how the Smashified requests go: "Can you do Sceptile, Midna, Cooking Mama, Blaziken, Spongebob..." Yes, I'm sure they've considered each and every one of your 15 requests. Lol.
Nintendo isn't really popular here in general tbh, most people play CoD and/or Fifa
Hey, that's like America! Just replace Fifa with any or all of these following choices.
I had no idea you were from there! Is Star Fox itself at least known? I thought it would be given Argonaut and Rare's involvement with the series. I'm legitly surprised there aren't more Nintendo fans there. The FIFA thing not so much only because I know how big "football" is in Europe.
I'm not from the UK, but I can tell you nearly every single CoD video is always from a UK guy. In any case there's word going around about the Ballot having an update tomorrow or the 1st, I think it's nothing really but who knows.
Trust me, it's worse here. I know one guy that plays pokemon but the rest are all those 2, I'm not even exaggerating, straight british boys man, they might as well be demons
I never really hear it mentioned but then again star fox has been dead for almost 10 years, plus what I said before, Nintendo just isn't big here, no joke, just yesterday my brother (who is 2 years older than me I might add) thought that Samus was a guy...despite playing Smash 4 with me where Zero Suit is a thing. But that's just one example of how bad people's taste in games is here.
The Fighter Ballot Website was updated today apparently as well. Not sure what changed but something happened.
I am looking it up
