The artwork for Falco looks like it was taken from the 3DS remake. But if Miyamoto is planning an episodic release, I don't think Star Fox 64 would be a model to follow unless you added more planets.
Could just be asset placeholders.

I predict precisely 4x people will listen to you. FWIW I wholeheartedly agree.
Even North America is getting Wii Sports U at Retail this summer.
Even if its episodic, it might be retail after they finish.

But haven´t you heard: Something something sinking ship, sleeping on a not good looking sandwich ..... Star Fox was AAA 20 years ago !
.....................................................
Edit: Can´t we please wait till we see the game in motion ? For all we know, there could be a non-motion-controll-mode.

I derived this from logic. It's a game where you are a giant fucking robot and you lean and move the pad to move the robot It's clearly meant to be one of the games Nintendo wants to use to show off the gamepad controller. It's doesn't require a stretch in logic to determine that Nintendo is trying to justify the gamepad.
I think it's hilarious that every other game and company gets judged on screenshots and leaks and information but now that that same thing is happening to Nintendo you guys are shocked and want everyone to hold their horses.

Is that Teddie from Persona 4 in the top left of the pic of Miyamoto playing Star Fox? SMT X FE?
Have you seen Mario Kart 8? People were complaining about the graphics not looking that great during its first showing.
Now the screenshot threads are flooded with MK8 pics and people going on about how great it looks in motion. Seriously, aside from Warioware, how many bad looking 1st party WiiU releases have you seen?
NSMBU (not that impressive, but looks decent in motion)
Super Mario 3DWorld
Pikmin 3
Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze
Mario Kart 8
Hell even Wind Waker HD looks really good. Nintendo isnt going to release a first party title that looks worse than its previous efforts.

I'm just going to reiterate this here for all the peopel acting as if motion controls are the end of the world:
Metroid Blast used a combination of sticks and motion controls in the Gamepad for the ship controls, and that game played brilliantly.
A rail shooter that uses twin sticks rather motion controls is a rail shooter that is using a more inaccurate, inherently inferior control mechanics for aiming a reticule.
CHOO CHOO!!!!!!!

That is true of all games publishers this entire generation, It's a sad state but these facts were obvious from the beginning which why it's extremely strange your only realising this now.
Oh my God, I think it is.
Everything is speculation at this point.
This is similar to the situation with the original Wii demos that eventually became Wii Sports. These are gameplay concepts. Actual shippable games are 12-18 months off.

"I want a game that takes advantage of the Gamepad"
Here's a game that does.
"But I dont want that."
ya'll dont know what you want.

MK8 looks like a PS4 game.
I was under the impression the game has been worked on for years on the Wii but only transitioned now to becoming an actual game on the Wii U since they didn't know where to take it

Really? The ship controles at best where awkward at worst they actively repelled any interest from newer players I gave the gamepad too.

They don't want gyro controls. It's pretty simple.
Not when it spoils a surprise that's only 30 minutes away.

actually I am too lazy. I loved the Wii when it first game out but i would just like to play games now without the tedious work of motion control. I work all day. I work out 4 times a week so I don't need "the exercise". after a long day and the kids are asleep i'd like to sit and play Zelda without having to snap my damn wrist!
A link between worlds on my 3DS was so enjoyable because i could play the whole thing almost with just buttons.. i boot up skyward sword to finally finish it and it's so annoying after years of motion control.
Other's love the motion stuff and that's fine.. me personally.. i just want all the games to have an option to not have motion control and still be very enjoyable.
Motion controls, probably more than anything else, are just really hard to gauge from video/articles/screenshots. People have been burnt by poor implementations in the past and are naturally skeptical. I think there's a lot of promise here because Ninty has also had good implementations in the past and, of the games they could add motion controls too, Star Fox is a fitting candidate. Mild reactions on either side make decent sense, but I don't get why anyone would write it off or, on the flipside, be so optimistic that they don't see why others have some skepticism.

Hmm, not too stoked by the bits of info here. But I'd like to try them, they might be fun.
If Miyamoto's mission is to demonstrate that the Gamepad is actually useful and not just a gimmick, though, I'm leaning towards "mission not going well". These look just as gimmicky, if not more so, than Nintendoland...another game that's fun, but did absolutely nothing to generate interest in the Wii U.

Spoiler Alert: You were just surprised, even more so because it came early!

Don't care, new Star Fox.
Nah, there's no way, it has a yellow stripe and teddie doesn't-well I'd be damned, he does.
Still, that UI doesn't have the visual flair I'd expect from SMTxFE, so I'm doubtful it will be that. But color me wonderfully surprised if it is.
