Definitely doesn't make things up as he goes along.
Has anyone posted previous Starfox sales data yet for comparison?

I never said anything about Command being bad, haven't played it yet. It just the last 2 Starfox games were so poor, that people are naturally cagey about this new effort. Unfortunately, I don't think we've had any impressions of it on here, anyone actually pick it up?
That's what you get for
a) letting Rare make an adventure game and at some point paint the Starfox franchise over it.
b) giving Assault away to Namco
Not even the DS in Japan can save Starfox. It's over for this franchise (unless Nintendo themselves makes a kickass Starwiing).
Edit: Just watched the Rhythm Tengoku vids and HOLY SHIT. Do I need to import or will it be localized?

Very friendly. It only has 2 or 3 stages that depend on some Japanese. The two i remember now are migi-hidari (left-right, don't remember which one is which one) and 3 different syllables (ka, ne, ko/yo) for 3 different patterns.
I don't really think this could get a local release. Lots of japanese text, lyrics, style, folk, etc.

Rhythm Tengoku is one of those games where if you care enough, you can figure out what you're supposed to be doing even if you don't understand the verbal instructions. There's a game, for example, with a drill instructor telling you to march in place, stop, turn left, turn right. But even if you don't know Japanese, you'll eventually learn which command is which. And most games don't have this stuff.mutsu said:

Oh. Yeah, I'm looking for some definitive answers myself. Control-wise, it sounded great from the stuff I've read, but I just want to know about other parts of the package.Chibbi Brady said:

No kidding. They know which properties go best for each portable and didn't do something retarded like bring Tamagotchi remakes to PSP or Tekken 5 to DS. Capcom's done well with Monster Hunter Portable, but their other efforts haven't done that well.

Yes. It's all over for DS. PSP will dominate! Wii will get canceled. Nintendo goes third party. Is there anything else I can add to the doom and gloom?
I hope the success of NSMB has Nintendo make a 2D console Mario game. I want more 2D Mario!
...and Kid Icarus.
cvxfreak said:
Yup. I said that in the last MC thread, too -- between Gundam, Digimon, Tamagotchi, Tales, and on and on, Namco Bandai's just been doing a really great job overall with both systems. A bit surprising that they switched gears after Tempest's development and have seemingly decided to go balls out with Tales on the PSP, but I guess we'll soon see if that was the right decision, too.
It's good for them, though not so great for me. I hate pretty much every property they've been putting on the DS, Tempest aside (taking into account the cancellation of Baten Kaitos).

A few people on here do have StarFox and have written a sentence or two about the game, but nobody has gone into great detail. Anyway, personally I think flying with the touchscreen is great, but there are slight control problems when it comes to boosting, breaking and rolling, as by performing these moves, your flight path is thrown off course.GoldenEye 007 said:
So, the game boils down to firstly a turn based section, where you choose a path for your craft on the over head map, if one of your ships meets an enemy there's a battle. If any of the enemies reach your base, it's game over... this becomes quite tactical.
When a battle occurs, there are a few variations:
-Fly around a square arena, shooting down randomly moving enemies.
-Fly around a square arena, shooting down a randomly moving enemy (which is armored)
-Fly around a square arena, shooting down randomly moving enemies but avoiding a lazer beam.
-Fly around a square arena, shooting at a boss.
-Fly around a square arena, shooting down StarWolf.
-Fly in a straightline, through speed-up rings, to catch up with a missile and shoot it down.
I played the game for around 5 hours I think, and that's all I ever did.
On the other hand, multiplayer is FOCKING ALL LEVELS OF AWESOMENESS

wow! really love this
are there any more Rhythm Tengoku gif ?
Thanks! Only got this one but I can make a custom gif if you want one

The drumming minigame needs to be a Wii game. Seriously. They already have a drumming tech demo...just make it like the minigame and release it!

The drumming minigame is amazing and gets unbelievably hard.
BTW, in the Studio mode, you can save your own drumming sessions on top of the game's main songs. But when you choose drums, there are like 20 other options below that i got locked. Does someone know what are these options/how to unlock them?

Starfox should get the Kid Icarus treatment. Put the franchise to sleep for a few generations, Nintendo.

I see. Thanks for the writeup. Seems unconventional, but that'll be fine. As long as the multiplayer is good, I'm happy. And from your impressions, it is pretty good. So, I guess for me, all is right in the StarFox world. Well, for the most part. I'd still prefer the standard approach to the singleplayer missions, but I'll see if I get used to the Command style. Another DS game to buy, though...marvelharvey said:
