Support NeoGAF

[Kouichi]

Miyamoto developed Star Fox was the announcement I was most hoping for, but didn't believe it would actually happen,

I think i'm going to cry.

 

[Jason's Ultimatum]

Nintendo: A+
MS: B+
Sony: B

E3 over. Nintendo wins.

the hyperbole in this thread.......


anyway, didn't Time reveal a console Zelda many years ago before e3?

 

[burst]

no point watching the direct now haha

 

[Fox Mulder]

It said the two games were "experimental" and Star Fox was more than a year away.

that's what I took away from it the most.

Why did you include the names of the titles in your thread title? Some of us would have liked to have been surprised.

 

[FlyingSaucer]

Yes please.

 

[one_kill]

I'm hyped but I'm also pissed off. I didn't want to know, but what I know now is so good.

 

[joeposh]

Someone somewhere at Time fucked up majorly. I'm guessing Nintendo were holding these for the reveal.

It's the Time website, so no reason to think it's fake.

Anyways: CHOO CHOO MOTHERFUCKERS!!!!

Nintendo almost always teases their big announcements pre-keynote -- probably gave Time an exclusive to ensure they got coverage in a more mainstream publication.

I remember the official release announcing the original Wii coming out a few hours before their presser that year. It's kind of standard for them.

 

[Duane Cunningham]

Thanks for putting them directly in the title, OP

 

[Mr. Bamboo]

AH, page got taken down. Somebody's getting fired.

It's just weird because posting an article like that isn't something like 'oops, finger slipped'. He/she would have to have gone to some degree of effort to post said article.

 

[Berg]

Two of 'em sound like minigames. The other seems like Starfox but with dodgy controls*. Huh.


*To be fair, they might work better than they sound.

a control scheme that’s not only novel, but with practice, indispensable.

Yea, i don't want to practice a novel way to control either. definitely dodgy.

 

[TriGen]

Well, small scale projects are what Miyamoto had said he'd like to focus on going forward, so it isn't that much of a surprise. I could see them being titles that were available on disc as well as downloadable depending on how extensive they are and what Nintendo thinks about their sales prospects (possibly at $20-$30 rather than full price).

Yeah, it makes sense that their smaller based on what Miyamoto's said.

 

[Japanmanx3]

Ninty STAY WINNING!!!!!

 

[dark_inferno]

Here bigger Pictures :

 

[enzo_gt]

Oh god, well I guess the only thing left to see is Zelda.

You mean Smash.

 

[BGBW]

Let us have a minutes silence for the Time journalist who sacrificed his life for this.

 

[Stone Ocean]

Hopefully Star Fox has pro controller support.

 

[Tan]

Wow Nintendo cannot be happy about this. They needed to wow people with a surprise. RIP Time, nintendo ninjas are coming for you.

 

[wishdom]

HOLY CRAP MEGATON!!

 

[Nicktendo86]

Star Fox isn't going to be a "pretty" game.

Started on Wii, moved the assets over to Wii U in the last year.

Yeah, pikmin 3 looked terrible.

Let them finish the game first.

 

[DaSorcerer7]

OMG..one of crazy predictions came true lol

 

[Cryo]

Don't know if I can link to the original hi-res images on time.com, so uploaded them here http://imgur.com/a/bIJOE

 

[HaterIsHating]

YESSSS!!! YESSS! THANK YOU!

TAKE MY MONEY

 

[-Horizon-]

"Sorry, you've reached a page that doesn't exist."

Too late, ninjas are coming.

They're already behind the person who broke the news.

 

[Clefargle]

Ahhh, that smell of leaky megatons in the morning....This bodes well!

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

Is it me or these games look like smaller titles......like eshop titles. Maybe its because 1 is apparently episodic and the others are still experimental.

 

[Storm Kyleis]

You spoiler-phobes should just not be surfing the internet.

What's the point of spoiler-free threads if you need to browse through spoilers to enter them?

 

[Bundy]

Where's The Last Zelda?

 

[ieptbarakat]

I hope the StarFox game doesn't force motion controls because that would be just silly.

 

[AlucardGV]

my my what happened to project X? i smell a downgrade.

 

[KuwabaraTheMan]

Yea it doesn't look like a full fledged new Star Fox game which is a shame

It sounds like it might be an episodic release based on one of the quotes posted earlier, which could actually be an interesting way to tackle that franchise, with new missions becoming available regularly rather than having long waits between new games.

 

[Ridley327]

So, no Zelda? Would TIME have always had that?

Miyamoto has very little to do with Zelda these days. This is all about his projects.

 

[Kyzer]

Why did you include the names of the titles in your thread title? Some of us would have liked to have been surprised.

You probably shouldn't be on NeoGAF right now then, realistically.

 

[Anteo]

Read part of the interview (before reloading the page.. why did I do that?)
They have been working on SF for 6-7 months for WiiU, previously they were trying to do it for Wii for like 4 years but it just didnt work with the controls.

 

[PBY]

This leak is gonna hurt them. People getting excited for AAA starfox and that's not what were gonna get probably.

 

[Goreomedy]

Is this a full on Star Fox sequel, or? Confused by the article.

 

[SolarPowered]

Someone somewhere made the biggest mistake of their life.

 

[Infinite_Daremo]

Leaks killed this E3

 

[MrSaturn99]

HYYPPEEEEEEE

 

[dlauv]

Falco says this in Mario 64. I sincerely hope Nintendo isn't so out of touch to remake 64 again.

 

[Red Chocobo]

Most likely timezone fuckup

 

[Dascu]

I'm not sure if the Gamepad is the best fit for the franchise, but Miyamoto and his team are top-tier developers and I am rather confident the final product will be excellent.

So, yeah, fun announcement.

 

[Trago]

Oh shit!!

 

[StreetsAhead]

Hmm, seems Star Fox has been experimented with for 6-10 months on Wii U.

EDIT: No, it seems all three started then, but they used assets and ideas from when they experimented with the idea on Wii.

 

[sjay1994]

the hyperbole in this thread.......

GAF is filled with hyperbole.

 

[NeonZ]

Reading the article, it's not necessarily separate projects. He talks like Giant Robot and Guard might become part of the Star Fox game.

 

[GrotesqueBeauty]

On the one hand I'm psyched to hear about Star Fox (finally!), but the controls sound tiring and impractical to me. I guess Wiimote controls would negate the purpose of featuring the Wii U controller, but IR would be much less of a hassle...

And please God, let it be a completely new fully fleshed out game. I don't think my heart could handle another remaster/remake/reimagining. Time to move ahead with the classic IPs instead of leaning so heavily on games that are a decade + old.

 

[The Elite]

This looks fantastically photoshoppable.

There's a spoiler free thread for people just like you.
