The official Star Fox Zero website has some information potentially worth noting for the upcoming 2016 release. The site mentions both amiibo functionality and also online features. Although the mention of online functionality could just be referring to Miiverse posts – it could also mean the game may have additional online modes.
The site quotes:
“Game, system and amiibo sold separately. Compatibility and functionality of amiibo may vary by game. Visit amiibo.com for specific details on how each amiibo works.
Broadband Internet access required for online features. For more info, go to support.nintendo.com.”
You can check out the official website here.
Delayed to add online connectivity and not to revamp textures. Calling it now.
Tease.
Tease what? I’m confused.
I thought he was saying the game would have online gameplay, but now I don’t think he actually meant that, so nevermind.
Nintendo knows well that “connectivity” can mean a lot of different things, some more appealing than others :^)
The “Online” is Miiverse crap, much like how every Wii U game mentions online meaning Miiverse. Mario 3D World said the same.
That’s online connectivity, mate :^)
Nah I think they did both. You can see a screenshot on that very site of a build that looks like it’s refined and besides Miyamoto has already reiterated that they wanted to add more polish because the visuals seemed a little bland
You just gave me a reason to actually check the website out.
i thought they said this game will not have a online mode in the game they did said that but i’m really surprise they are adding it in the game.
They actually said they were highly considering putting in an online mode shortly after release, right about when it’s now supposed to release next year.
well thats a load of bonkers
Come on!! I sent this in like a week ago and your just now posting it? And you didn’t even give me credit:(
I have a simple strategy on these things.
Set the bar low.
Set your expectations low.
I’m getting this game. I’m going to really put my best foot forward and try to enjoy it.
If nintendo surprises me with online gameplay? Outstanding. Am I expecting it? Hell no.
It makes being a Nintendo fan much easier.
It makes anything easier. Personally ive liked the game since it was shown, so anything more is just icing on the cake!
I just hope Nintendo gave Platinum a very long leash and free reign. If they did, Platinum won’t let us down. (Please Platinum don’t let us down! )
Im still waiting for that transforming spacecraft amiibo miyamotto spoke about…
Did any other Starfox game have online.Also I hope Nintendo allows us to customize our arwing to make online more fun(if they do add online)
Considering the las one was on the Gamecube no, it didn’t have. 643D had leaderboards, I think, and we do not talk about Command.
What is this Command you mention? ;)
Star Fox Command is the direct sequel to Star Fox Assault, published on Nintendo DS in 2006.It was the last non-remake star fox game until star fox ZERO was shown at E3 2015.
The point
——————–
Your head
NO NO, Command we don’t talk about, both it and Adventures are NOT Canon.
>>>*Commander, problem solved>>>
Well least not Command since Krystal from Adventures was in Assault. Unless Assault retconned Krystal & I just don’t remember…
Wait. Krystal was in Command, too… NEVERMIND!!!
The Local coop in the classic versions. It encouraged multiple play-throughs in campaign mode to unlock new multiplayer modes.
People used to pay me and my brother to unlock everything for $15. Back then, it was really good money! ;D
After 5 people that’s a new game.
Exactlyyyy… ;D
The amiibo functionality we already knew is in the game, if I remember correctly Miyamoto said that you would get a in game present when you scan a Fox or Falco amiibo and he also said that he wanted to make transformable Arwing/Walker amiibo if that was possible. Now let’s just hope that they actually have added an online mode.
I was taking a look at the website and don’t understand what they mean by the graphics suck.maybe I just don’t understand since I had Nintendo consoles since the beginning of the Nes(expect the GameCube because I got a ps2 instead)do graphics really help make a game better?
Not very. Actually back in the day Nintendo had the best graphics out of all the systems. Graphics don’t matter that much to me though, it’s mostly about the gameplay. Graphics is just icing on the amazing cakes Nintendo bakes up.
The fact that Nintendo has always had the best graphics of each generation is a very debatable point. I’d go as far as to argue that it was only true during the fifth gen (probably during the third as well, I’m not that familiar with the Master System and the like).
But isn’t Nintendo’s legendary and undisputed videogame legacy based on those older systems that were viewed as “powerful.”
I don’t think that’s a coincidence. It meant something to be proud your console was strong enough to keep up with software innovation.
Yea, except the Wii was there best selling console and it was way underpowered.
Don’t get me started on the Wii… That was a “Success” that fundimentally changed how Nintendo measures success, and totally misguided them as to who their core audience was. It was the beginning of the end of the Nintendo I grew up with, and the taste of casual blood has left Nintendo blood-thirsty for more and… The Wii changed Nintendo like money and stardom changes kids if they become famous.
We may have to agree to disagree, but I curse the Wii for forever changing Nintendo into the twisted version of the company they became afterwards.
Why is the WiiU not a raving success? Because everyone who bought a wii, was happy with a wii. They didn’t all upgrade to a WiiU. They bought tablets. – But that won’t stop Nintendo from pouring their resources into a fickle market, even if it means sacrificing everything and everyone that used to love them.
Don’t get me started on the Wii….
Beautifully written. Don’t get me started either. 100% agree.
The best selling consoles usually are.
The Wii might be the best selling console but it’s also it’s worst console. Why? Because the Wii has corrupted Nintendo. They’ve gotten a taste of making billions of dollars & they apparently can’t get enough of it.
making billions of dollars on one product brand*
making billions of dollars on one product brand in less than 5 years*
(Ugh! Edit feature, WordPress! Do you know it, motherfucker!?)
Online features????
Miiverse posting confirmed!
Maybe Starfox Stamps on Miiverse for finding all 3 Gold Rings in a course lol.
Oh the hype! I hope Nintendo can meet these wild expectations!
Are you people really that stupid? The “Online” its talking about is MIIVERSE shit.
Mario 3D World had the same statement about “Online”
Actually I just went to the site and it doesn’t.
If I recall, Pikmin 3 pulled the same bullshit marketing. Online multiplayer would have definitely made up for the short ass story mode. :/
Chill out, buddy. It’s been pointed out a couple of times already both in this piece of news and in the previous one, even before you posted this comment.
I’m assuming your talking to originalbloodlace because I was very calm.
Did I reply to you? I’m sorry, the reply system on the WordPress app makes it easy to screw them up.
It’s because I replied to him first so it put your comment under mine. It’s perfectly understandable:)

Oh look! Another game claiming online features, hyping it up, only to release the game with just leaderboards & Miiverse bullshit! Pikmin 3 did the same exact thing if I recall correctly.
Nintendo, the rest of the world is not like Japan. Not everyone has either the time or money to go visit friends, or have friends visit them, to make use of local play. Get back in touch with the world outside of Japan & evolve already damn it! The US still has many, many, many years before we have an awesome subway system that spans the entire country. In fact, we probably won’t have something similar to 100 years or more later. Maybe Nintendo is hard at work on making teleportation devices & this is why they refuse to go full on with online multiplayer. lol
I fucking got it! The NX’s gimmick will be teleportation! Yay!
>>>To be fair, western humans have even more time to do these things than our Homeworld, problem is, they often just don’t want to do it because they are lazy and rather be home than at a friend’s home unless that friend has a party where they can conduct their typical primitive sexual rituals>>>
Don’t blame Nintendo, they are not hyping anything up. It’s just a sentence at the bottom of the site saying that you need internet access to use the online functions, which you do. If people just assume that it means online multiplayer instead of Miiverse and updates, that’s on them, not Nintendo.
Actually, I can blame Nintendo because they shouldn’t attach something like that to a game if it’s not going to use the very online stuff that people expect when they see that line. Or least attach something else to it stating the online only refers to this or that. It’s such a broad sentence that anyone can assume anything from it.
And it’s precisely because it is so broad why people should stop assuming things about it. It’s not Nintendo’s fault if people just assume that a vage sentence means what they want it to meant. It doesn’t even hint at only multiplayer in any shape or form.
>>>And that’s exactly what all cases have, describing that online features it has and whether there is any multiplayer or not>>>
