Weren’t too keen on using Wii U GamePad motion controls for the forthcoming Star Fox title for Wii U? Well, there’s some good news according to Game Informer. The latest edition of the magazine says that while the game features motion controls you’ll still be able to play it in a traditional manner. The US magazine says “Pilots can control the game either with their GamePad’s analog sticks or motion control.”
“Nintendo is planning on bringing Fox Mcloud out of retirement for a new entry on the Wii U. Fox will be able to fly his Arwing and seamlessly transform into a tank during certian sequences. Pilots can control the game either with their Gamepad’s analog sticks or motion control. The game was very early in development and looked admittedly rought the last we saw of it, but we’re hoping Fox gets the new, grand adventure he deserves.”
Thanks, Icon
THANK FUGGIN GOD YES!!! This makes me happy.
YESSSS ^_^ THIS IS akicizxmako
Same case as with the 3DS verison which I absolutely adore. No problem with this at all! :)
Thank goodness
That’s good news. Because for the most part, motion controls SUCK!
No. Only the Kinect SUCKED ASS. PSMove was DOA and Wii was good but not that perfect.
Motion controls suck in general. They Wii motion controls only improve games like Metroid Prime. (The Wii does fps’s greatly, but sadly never got many good ones)
Ahh the old days of mario kart wii…
To get the wheel right was awesome because if anyone played with the old wired wheels with gas pedals and all that crap, the turning mechanism was never right and in the MK Wii, they not only nailed it, being in the air with the wheel was very impressive.
Don’t get me wrong, I love Mario 8, but I was absolutely crazy about Mario Kart Wii
That’s because FPS games are the whorehouse of gaming and now being considered a cancer of the market flooding it with constant COD4/MW2 tryhards. As for Wii, COD was the only decent fit for it but there’s also The Conduit which was a very good exclusive. Here’s to hoping for Conduit 3 on Wii U.
Splatoon will show them how it’s done
By making those COD whores laughing at masterpieces instead of embracing the fun of it.
Motion controls in Skyward Sword were pretty awesome.
Just because you think they suck doesn’t mean that’s true for everybody else.
It’s just that most of the time, motion controls were forced down our throats when they weren’t even needed. *stares at DKC:Returns*
You just said that motion controls “suck in general” so that was most certainly not “it”
Perhaps I didn’t word it correctly then. They suck in general… MOST of the time.
Last Zelda game I played was Skyward Sword, and I will definitely feel limited if the new Wii U title has only traditional controls… At least they should give us a TP-like game scheme, I love using WiiMote!
Cool
NOOOO!… I’m kidding YAY! XD
That’s good to hear, I hope Zelda can be played without motion controls because I didn’t like at all the Skyward Sword’s controls, actually in general I don’t like that much motion controls, but sometimes it does make a really nice extra
Strangely enough, I hate motion controls, but I actually liked Skyward Sword and its motion controls… It just felt more alive and fun than other games that used motion controls.
Always nice to have the classic set up.
I hope I can also play in the cockpit view the 3ds remake lacked it sadly
The only games I actually like motion controls for are console bundle games (Wii Sports/Resort and Nintendo Land), and the Metroid Prime Trilogy pack.
COD did utilized the controls and added so many options that leveled up its use as well surprisingly.
I’d like to add Resident Evil 4 Wii Edition there too…
forgot about that one
thank to the lord..!
Lord, capital L.
Don’t go pushing your ideology on here.
What are you talking about?
Drunk or something like?
Whatever how it comes, this game must be A LOT BETTER than the best version ever… Starfox 64. And I Say in Challenge, Graphics, UI/UX feedback, Gameplay, Screenplay, Music, and Replay Value.
“The game was very early in development and looked admittedly rough”
This was from their latest issue early this month.
When did they play this rough demo of the game, could it be the E3 thing from last year?
If the game to this date still looks rough I have little hope for it; I just find it odd we’ve seen literally ZERO footage of the new Starfox. Being told “it won’t require motion controls” isn’t great news either.
Definitely we would get gameplay at E3. If not, I’m worried about this game XD
Old news is old.
Thank goodness.
Star Fox’s style of gameplay doesn’t need motion controls. Glad that Nintendo apparently agrees.
YES.
Now if only we can get some footage
I’m more worried about how there’s not even a trailer yet when it’s supposed to be released this year.
I’ll go out on a limb and say they are saving the trailer for E3.
Yes… Now do a barrel roll!
Starfox gameplay the classic way. Now that’s the way I choose to play!
I don’t think this is very surprising since motion controls was a mainly Wii thing.
It kinda seems like they use it as a bonus in a lot of Wii U Games.
Spelled certain wrong!!! you spelled it certian
You do know what a quote is right?
Additionally you didn’t even write a complete sentence.

I hope this is the offspring of Starfox 64 and Starfox Adventures.
Yes please…
OMG I hate motion controls, with Skyward Sword the only exception. This is a relief.
Personally motion controls is a more “personal” experience…
Some like it overall, some hate it, and some like me only likes it in certain games such as Metroid Prime 3 and Skyward Sword…
Why do you keep adding an unnecessary Ellipsis?
Why do people such as yourself waste time on asking such question?…
I mean you are acting like an idiot. You’re not some “commander” there’s no “empire” you’re just really acting like a child about video games. You most likely are a child though, but kid you should grow up and play video games for fun instead of making some sort of competition out of it.
Well duh…
I’m so relieved that the motion controls will be an optional feature because I’m definitely looking forward to sitting down in comfort of my own home after a hard day’s work playing some Star Fox Wii U without having to wave my arms and hands around. Not that I have anything against motion controls (because the Wii remote and Nunchuk are second to none when it comes to FPSs), I just think a game like Star Fox doesn’t really require nor need it
It won’t be using the Wiimote but rather the Gamepad for motion controls.. no waving around of arms or hands required.
Oh I know it won’t be using the Wii remote and Nunchuk but what I meant by waving your arms and hands around was for the gyroscope feature of the Gamepad for controlling the X-Wing
A Gyroscope does not react to acceleration, so waving your arms around won’t do a thing.
Also it’s not an X-Wing….
And yes I am aware that the Gamepad also contains an accelerometer but from what we’ve seen so far the controls of starfox will rely on the gyroscope alone.
I’m so hyped for this game.. I hope that all the Lylat Wars nostalgia will be back instantly when turning it on :)
Don’t know why people say the Wii remote and Nunchuck were the best for FPS…. apparently people forgot about PC
Consoles related, obviously Keyboard and Mouse are superior in every way…
It does have its own feel.. the wiimote is much more intuitive than a mouse due to its point and shoot nature, If you sit a person in front of an FPS game for the first time in its life I can pretty much guarantee you that this person will adapt to the wiimote much faster than to the mouse controls.
however the PC mouse is of course much more well suited to high speed gaming once you’re adapted to it.

We already knew Starfox WiiU was going to use a vast array of control schemes. Children it is Shigeru Miyamoto San developing this master pièce. Patience is a great virtue MMN readers and bloggers. Last year was a great year for Nintendo, this year is even greater. The commander is even singing a new tune; Quadraxis I see you and JTZ of Judah the lion tribe.
F=ma.

That’s great news! I was getting worried that you won’t be able to use normal controls!
