That was my favorite level in starfox assault

 

[KLatin Scelus]

Oh come on.

Did you read the rest of my post?

 

[SatoAilDarko]

New stage looks absolutely gorgeous. Hope there are plenty more new Wii U stages.

As for the leak I always thought it was fake but it had my most wanted characters along with others I would have loved like Impa. Had it been true I would have had no complaints about the roster... so it had to be false.

 

[Benzychenz]

Once again showing how the Wii U version has the much superior stage selection.

 

[BGBW]

So did NoE pointlessly change the name of something again for no reason?

Wouldn't say it's pointless when many said the name Duck Hunt felt odd. I, for one, am happy with this change.

Pic of the day. This is the Orbital Gate stage. This is a Wii U version-exclusive stage reenacting Team Star Fox's defense of the Orbital Gate from an Aparoid missile attack.

Missiles are launched towards the Orbital Gate! The force field shields the machinery for a while, and the missiles eventually get shot down by team Star Fox. Overall, this stage feels like a ride. It's pretty hectic, so hold on tight!

The Arwings are passing through the gate! And the fighters hop on for a free ride!!

Holy shit this looks amazing and honestly from the pictures looks competitively viable, and even if its not this is getting rotation in my group.

 

[WonderzL]

This is so beautiful. Star Fox needed this stage.

 

[ArcaneFreeze]

Can we get Star Fox Assault HD please? With an expanded online multiplayer experience. MP in that game was amazing.

 

[Loco4Coco]

We'll probably get a Wolf reveal for Friday.

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

So, that's 2 new Stages (well, we saw a bit of this...but still) in less than a week.

Gives me hope we have a lot of Stages left.

Oh I would like that too. I enjoyed it.

 

[foxuzamaki]

Such a worthy stage for only two Star Fox characters! lolololololol

The current wolf persona and design comes from this stage too lol

 

[OricWindstar]

I already have it pre-ordered. That doesn't change the fact that it looks about three generations behind compared to this, and yet the Wii U version has suffered because of it. Sorry for having a negative opinion.

I don't mind someone having a negative opinion, but bringing it up constantly gets tiring. I'm only speaking for myself here, and of course you can post how you like, but I just don't see the point of it always being part of a comment, especially in a case like this where it has nothing to do with the stage. I'm really annoyed we're losing a character (and potentially more unrevealed things), but...we get it. We got it the first twenty times you mentioned it, too.

Again, my opinion, I'm not your boss, feel free to ignore me.

What is your avatar. omg.

Veteran on Monday. Has to be.

Now that's a damm good update

 

[Forkball]

*throws 3DS version in trash*

That level looks fantastic. Not a fan of Assault, but it's an obvious inclusion considering Namco worked on that game.

Here's hoping. I'm at least hoping the Wii U stage has one stage for each franchise. Even if we have to bring some new stages over from the 3DS, I'll take it...just because I want Magicant on the Wii U.

Oh yeah, I hadn't thought of that. Not a huge Assault fan either, but the art design looks great here in HD.

 

[Neiteio]

I loved Star Fox Assault back in the day, so I'm really digging this stage

Question, though: For the missile phase (second screenshot), do you just stand on it while the missile drills in place? And then after a while it's shot down and you drop onto the Arwings entering the gate?

 

[Golnei]

Orbital Gate looks amazing, but I really hope its not too gimmicky when you're playing it - chaos is fun if it's well-directed, but miserable if it significantly impedes your options and abilities.

It doesn't seem too gimmicky. Every portion they've show here has a good platform layout; assuming the transitions are good (which so far seem to work better than in Brawl), I think it'll be fine.

*sniff* So beautiful...

EDIT:

Spoiler

Now listening to SFA OST.

 

[theprodigy]

It doesn't look like there's a bunch of hazards on this stage?

then again we don't really know cause no footage lol

 

[KLatin Scelus]

This just makes me want Wolf back even more.

An epic duel atop the arwings and missiles between Wolf and Fox/Falco.

It hurts...

 

[JoeM86]

It's so beautiful. I always love the Starfox stages, they are always a beautiful ride (except Corneria...yawn), and this looks just stunning.

 

[J@hranimo]

Assault was pretty cool, but the on foot sections were kinda a chore. If that's back in the next game I hope they make those segments better.

Anyway I feel there's quite a few Wii U stages we don't know about yet. also I'm a firm believer that Magicant will be on the Wii U as well.

 

[DICKS AHOY]

Yeah, but it was called "Great Fox." I was able to give it calling the "Gamer" stage "Game & Wario" since both are pretty generic names, with one being the name of the minigame and the other being the name of the complete package, but this clearly isn't just the Great Fox for a 4th time. I'm taking "Orbital Gate" or nothing here.

I said with the 'Gamer' stage it didn't really make that one /v/ leak more or less believable (technically the right stage but wrong name, game that was arguably likely to get a stage rep), and honestly I feel the same way with this one. You still fight on the Great Fox for a certain period of time, and unless you feel Sal's source just got lucky leaks can be off about certain things yet right overall.

I'm leaning towards it being fake though. Impa reeeeeeeeeally doesn't fit anywhere on the character roster unlike Ridley/Dixie/Chorus Kids/Mewtwo can.

 

[InvincibleAgent]

I imagine it's like Arena Ferox x2.

 

[Neiteio]

Here's the mission this stage is based on.

 

[J@hranimo]

This stage will be banned. The Arwings, Great Fox, and Aparoid ship seem like they will be moving around everywhere lol.

I hope that's the case. Visually, it's perfect; and the layouts we've seen look pretty good, so hopefully there's no game-breaking elements like Flying Man or Yellow Devil to ruin everything.

 

[Enforced]

I remember that. I enjoyed some of the parts on story mode.

 

[theprodigy]

Dunno, the pictures make it look more like Pilotwings.

 

[Neiteio]

Since the Arwings pass through the gate, I wonder if this stage will include the Aparoid Homeworld, as well. That'd be crazy.

And yeah, this stage seems more like Pilotwings than anything else, and Pilotwings seems fine for all kinds of play.

 

[daripad]

WiiU stages looks so good, so many beautiful settings and all of them are very dynamic in the background. 3DS stages are fine but WiiU ones so far really shine.

Hopefully. I just know that whenever stages tilt around and have transitions they may go to counterpick/banned depending on singles and doubles.

 

[spyhunterzero]

God DAMN!!! With that and the Demon Mom stage I need the Wii U version NOW!!!

 

[Magnet_Man]

BREATHIN...G...HEAV---

*thud*

khjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj

Same here. Really, really wish Wii U version is out right now.

 

[Spinluck]

Sweet mother of Andross.

 

[Werewolf Jones]

Wish I was strong enough to wait out for Smash Wii-U because of stages like this but I just can't.

 

[Durden77]

Stage looks super rad. Not the biggest fan of Assualt, but I only played it once when it came out.

 

[StreetsAhead]

Oh my goodness that stage looks beautiful.

So hyped for Star Fox Wii U.

 

[Benzychenz]

I need to find a copy of Starfox Assault.

Australian copies are non-existent

 

[Roo]

The Arwings are passing through the gate! And the fighters hop on for a free ride!!

This one looks pretty sick. The whole stage looks gorgeous.

I already have it pre-ordered. That doesn't change the fact that it looks about three generations behind compared to this, and yet the Wii U version has suffered because of it. Sorry for having a negative opinion.

Even tho I don't necessarily share your opinion about the 3DS version, I' wonder if Smash Wii U could have looked even better if they decided to go for 720p instead of 1080p.
I mean, it looks great right now but the shading and presentation is quite bland.
Something like Mario Kart Wii >> Mario Kart 8 for Smash would be mind blowing.

 

[RagnarokX]

Since the Arwings pass through the gate, I wonder if this stage will include the Aparoid Homeworld, as well. That'd be crazy.

While we might see some warping, I mean, Lylat Cruise warped all over the place, those arwings are literally passing through the gate, as in the space station. In the game, according to the video I just watched, that has nothing to do with warping.

Unless you're really concerned about it shipping quickly, can't you just import it from any other PAL region?

I still have it. The disc is inside my gamecube case that holds many gamecube discs.

Oh, really? I must've got that mixed up.
