According to Polygon’s interview with Platinum Games, Star Fox Zero will have a cooperative mode (that is still very actively a work in progress). However, interestingly enough, Platinum Games’ Lead Director Hashimoto says this mode — which allows for one person to fly the Arwing while another controls the guns — was made specifically for little children, playing with parents.
We wanted to have a co-op mode where basically one person could handle flying the vehicle, while another person handles shooting. So, if you had a situation where a parent was playing with their child and the child was having a tough time with the game, the parent could handle flying the vehicle with a nunchuk and Wii remote and the child could just enjoy targeting and shooting things on the GamePad.
On a cool note, the cooperative play will change depending on the vehicle in use. If the two players are piloting the Gyrowing (the drone-like helicopter) and the Direct -I (deployable mech) is dropped, the cooperative team will split with the two players controlling the two separate ships.
Star Fox Zero is set to release exclusively on the Wii U in Q4 2015. Despite the fact this is being developed with tykes in mind, are you excited for this new mode?
We are reaching a point in which the final credits of games will be offered as DLC so that everyone can watch it without beating the game.
Sad times.
Your comment makes “Zero” sense LOL! But no really it makes no sense this post isn’t about DLC at all.
You did not get my whole point…
Why would anyone want such a shared control to play any game? C’mon, Star Fox games are already easy — and short — enough. Why does Nintendo insist to cater casuals?
Have you seen all the available power-ups in Wooly World in order to make the game easier? What the hell…?
(…)
Okay, casuals, you have won. Congratulations for destroying the gaming experience alongside all the fanboys.
And the games are hurt by this how? All the stuff you mentioned is just completely optional stuff to appeal to more fans. They are not forcing you to use any of it. The Nintendo Mafia did not hold a knife to your thought and force you to use the power ups in YWW!
Throat*
Yes, they are. Just sit and watch the gaming industry turning into a industry which only cater noobs.
Nintendo — specifically — has betrayed its own past and are going full steam backwards.
Your crazy.
Definitely maybe.
I saw that movie. Better than I thought it would be haha. Almost afraid to admit it. Almost.
It’s really just Nintendo doing this. Every other developers put difficulty settings in thier games..
They might as well be difficulty settings since they are completely optional.
Isnt it clear Batman is a butfucker
The post should be about faggogts tryin to take over the country….faggots are just like Pedaphiles beasyiallity and necrophilia.
Clickbait, no where did he say it was primarily targeted at little kids.
Exactly. What? Was the same concept that was used in Double Dash, made for little kids as well? Does that make my 24 Year Old Brother a little kid then?
Agreed, the title of this article is totally click bait… I’m disappointed…
Click baity? Kind of. Accurate? Certainly.
If the mode is being centered around those unable to learn the controls, you have to imagine he is primarily talking children. It is still their largest driving market, and I rarely ask my elderly grandparents to play a nice pick-up game of Star Fox.
Also, the fact that he highlighted the parent/children relationship is telling. Will it be used by people who are not kids? Absolutely. But they are targeting an audience here — be it casual players or (more probably) children.
So… you’re defending the title of this article?
Star Fox Zero’s Co-Op Mode Was Made Primarily For Little Kids, According To Platinum.
It would be weird if I didn’t… seeing how I wrote it. lol.
But we can always agree to disagree. :)
It’s definitely not an accurate title.
I’ll pay more attention next time! Didn’t realize you wrote it.
So “little kids” wasn’t an attempt to strike a flame war in the comments?
Not in the least bit! It was my honest assessment of what the statements were, the market data for Nintendo, and which of my family would pick-up-and-play a game regarding talking pilot-foxes.
The Wii U isn’t a kids console, but that doesn’t mean that Nintendo isn’t marketing to kids.
But, as I mentioned, we can agree to disagree. If you think I’m being unnecessarily click-baity, I will take that criticism and try to remedy future titles.
Youre a kid you love nintendo theres nothing wrong with that yong man.
I appreciate that.
However, Platinum in no way suggested that this co-op mode is for “little kids”. More appropriately, it is for inexperienced players. Similar to Diddy jumping on DK’s back if the player is less experienced.
Nintendo wants to offer an opportunity to get your less experienced friends on the couch with you to try it out without feeling intimidated by their lack of experience.
Considering the easily excitable readers of this site, I can’t help but assume that a phrase like “little kids” was written in the title go garner attention. But I digress.
Eat shit liar
I disagree that “little kids”are thier driving market. Thats Nintendo’s biggest flaw at the moment. They have no idea who thier fanbase is anymore.. Little kids have moved on to ipads and smart devices…
Technically, no – but then why specifically mention children and a parent? Doesn’t that imply a certain focus on the younger demographic if they’re using that example as opposed, to, say, “two friends playing together”?
Given how complicated and obtuse the controls were at E3 based on feedback from those who played it, though, it makes sense that they’d have a mode where you need two different people controlling the plane – but I don’t see that as a good thing. If your controls take so much getting used to that you have a game mode so two people can control it…..you have certain problems you need to address.
It was an example. You’re reading too much into it.
Nah. I think they made a conscious effort to use that example to try to make parents aware that kids can play the game. They know that the controls with the gamepad are so convoluted that they’ll need such a game mode to exist for kids.
Sounds like Double Dash. In Double Dash, if you played with 2 Players and they’re both in the same Kart, then 1 can Drive and the other Controls the Items. In this case, the Flyer is the Driver and the Shooter is like the one the control the items…
RIP Double Dash, I miss that mode. :/
Best Mario Kart in my opinion.
Not Girlfriend mode?
I’d like to think my girlfriend could pilot an Arwing for better than I could :P
Yeah, I would probably end up switching controllers every other stage :).
I thought we lived in the year “2015”.
At least Im pretty sure.
WE ARE GOING BACK TO THE FUTURE FOR THE RELEASE!
Thanks for the edit, made the changes in the article to reflect :)
Lmao. Hashimoto is not the president of platinum games. Incontinencio made a mistake.
This is a common mix up for me — conversely, I also call my president “Lead Designer Obama.” Really confuses my civics classes.
Thanks for the edit, the article has been updated to reflect my silly mistake.
No problem man, your sense of humor rocks! You should replace sickr ;)
Somehow, I don’t think our glorious overlord, @sickr, would appreciate an insurrection, but I will address it at the next board meeting,
But seriously, thanks! I always think the best way to handle any kind of a criticism is reflection and a snark, comedic brevity. Thanks for reading MyNintendoNews!
Seriously…you should.
Also, seems like you like to laugh a lot, have you ever read the sasorideidaraobi saga of this website, i you haven’t, ask sicker or search for it, it’s worth! (For the lulz)
I actually have not… was before my time. Want to give me a brief run down?
>>>That’s classified information>>>
Quack.
We the people of encyclopedia dramatica have a draft of his article but if you Google sadirideidaraobi or #bansasori you’ll find tons of articles for your fun.
>>>Sickr created this base, unless he turns the base over to another one to command it, it’s his word and his will, while I’m the self-appointed Anti-Nintenco destroyer which of course got approved by Sickr long ago>>>
>>>*Nintendo>>>
This is from the time when you were commander and iceazeama had his youtube channel.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p0-s0sX_AXk
Commander=Tetrarch
Emperor=Sickr
Vader=Peteriuss
>>>Switch peteriuss with Sickr and Sickr with Nintendo and it makes more sense, peteriuss is nothing more than a simple little troll>>>
So you are saying that peteriuss is Jabba?
>>>He’s Watto>>>
Iceazeama is jar jar binks…
>>>That’s my channel just in case>>>
I was never in your videos, ya jerk!
We have history!
>>>I know, I haven’t forgotten about you>>>
>>>I see you adopted my slogan against the infidelic nonsense>>>
What the heck are you talking about?!
>>>I’ve said that for as long as I can remember>>>
Shut up. Lol
>>>How adorable>>>
I will destroy you!
The DSM actually classifiys you people as Minor attracted people instead of Pedaphiles….its an sexual orentation…i know you cant help it commander
Hey! I’ve been bitching on here at least as long as you two. I may even pre-date the commander.
As for Peteriuss… I think if we were all honest, we’ve all taken turns being that guy…I wonder whatever happened to the original…I will credit him for eliminating the stupid “First!” Commenters. Lol!
My name dates back to the horriffic 3DS launch and software drought. Ambassador Program and such.
I’ve been here since before the Wii U’s launch. I even remember the news article I first commented in hahaha. Ironicly it was me saying that the Wii U was going to be awesome. So many memories :)
Do you remember Nintenward, jellybean, pinwheel, adarazz etc…?
I know i sure as hell remember all those guys
Haha French Fries was quite the individual :P
She was annoying
Don’t you two know each other in real life?
Yeah but she was still annoying :)
I feel bad for you.
She was never even into video games she was just bored over the summer
Lol then why did she bother commenting here? Was it because she was all up in your business?
Lol no if she wanted to do that she would have just annoyed me on facebook. Are you still a Nintendo guy I can’t tell :P
Have you noticed in this blog the picture gas a white couple playing games with two negro kids its sicking
Edit: Make no mistake about it, I like guys. And that is perfectly okay!
This site hasn’t changed one fucking bit
That’s a damn good question. I’m still a Nintendo guy, but not as much as before. I don’t find Nintendo games to be that interesting to me anymore for sine reason. I’m more of a Sony guy.
Never thought I would say those words.
Same, that’s one of the reasons why I left the website, while the other reason is because of dimwitted people like the guy above. But since i’m hearing all this NX news I decided to come back ^_^
Welcome back, we missed you :)
Wow. So much respect :’)
I like that you’re very involved with your articles. I noticed you comment a lot. Sickr almost never writes comments. And you respond to criticism. And not in a negative manner, but in a humorous fashion, and you acknowledge your mistakes. That’s part of what makes good journalism.
Thanks Shadow Vegeta! I think reader interaction is the best tool people have, and, even when people are being rude, there is normally a fair amount of actual, constructive criticism in there. Anyway, thanks for following in the comments and checking out the site :)
I agree. Nice to have a level headed writer (not to say the other writers on here aren’t). Keep up the good work.
Co-op has always been for either those who cannot handle the game by their own merits or to played for fun with friends/family, so this was clear even without Platinum saying it. Kinda like MH has Co-op mode for the same purposes.
Did someone say Nunchuck and Wiimote? Oh no.
Its only logical that they are impleted in this game considering it started as an Wii project.
Why is a good good company like nintendo putting faggot dike character’s in Fire emblem fates??…And gameing died in 1995 dude in 1995 he didnt have buttfuckers in video games.
Nobody cares lol
Why are all of your comments always so idiotic? I will never understand why people take time out of their day to post such nonsense.
you love dick
Guys, it’s Nintendo we’re talking about. They’re target audience is kids. That’s not to say that adults can’t enjoy their games, but we have to understand that we’re not their target audience.
We are their target audience, it’s just that Nintendo thinks we’re still kids.
I was hoping they’d have something like this. I thought two player co-op in Sin and Punishment and Battletech was awesome!
The co op mode sounds pretty cool
Agreed. I kinda like the idea…and if the gunner get’s their own screen on the gamepad…that will totally kick ass.
Your a fox now now, your a plane now, your a kid nowwwwwww. Shoot em all know with your parents soon in star foxoxoxoxoxoxox starfox!
The Wii U can’t handle this game, sorry.
It will be available on Xbox One and PS4 soon. Thanks.
Yeah, you’re right. Weird that they showcased it as a Wii U game since it’s not even coming to it :-/ I heard Federation Force is being moved to the Vita now, as well.
I really see nothing wrong with Nintendo catering towards kids. They have been doing that for thirty years. However, most little kids have moved to smart devices. The problem is Nintendo is still catering to them, when they are no longer there. Honestly, Nintendo should be catering to thier core fanbase atm. Without them,… i dont even want to think about it…
I still have faith in Nintendo, they just royally screwed this generation up…
If the NX releases with Zelda, Galaxy 3, and Luigi Masion 3, they will be back in the game. Make it happen Ninty.
I like Deepsouth Manoyise u dumb country fuck cant you fucking see stupid sony owns gameing the Illuminati owns Sony you big dumb country Pedaphile coutry fucker lol
For little kids? You mean like almost EVERY titles Nintendo are presenting these days?
They need to learn to please the fans who grew up with them… Geez..
You like useing the word little kids….you like playing games…i could see a guy like you hideing in the park waiting for littleboys playing your 3ds you Pedaphile
rip nintendo.
Gameing died in 1995….and the usa died in 1973 when abortion murder of babies became legal and in 1973 homosexuals got called sane witch they are crazy…homsexuals are just like Pedaphiles
Rip Pedaphile
A cool addition sure. But this game needs competitive multiplayer too.
So in a way, it’s like Mario Galaxy’s co-op where one player was Mario and did all the platforming and a second player was just another star cursor who could shoot star bits and hold things in place. As long as it’s optional, I’m fine with the inclusion. I probably won’t use it though.
This sounds like a recipe for disaster: Affordable Space Adventures caused severe marital rows, this game mode will probably lead to a divorce.

Does this remind anyone else of Mario Kart Double Dash’s 1 on steering, 1 on weapons control scheme?
