Star Fox getting free update, Star Fox Adventures coming to Nintendo Classics today
More battle mode stages was the biggest thing I wanted added to Star Fox, so I’m satisfied.
I wonder if we might see even more added later, if they’re trying to add stages based on every location in the game.
I was hoping for them to add three more stages in online mode and I had a dream about it once. It would have been nice if they let us vote on the stages we want to picked out in online as a free update so each players gets a vote so we wouldn’t worry on getting stages picked randomly.
I have not played the multiplayer for this game at all. I hope everyone else enjoys the update.
You should try it- it’s honestly a lot of fun. It plays like the multiplayer of the original N64 version but team-based and with objectives interspersed throughout the 5 minutes. You don’t have to do them but that’s where you’ll earn the majority of points so you should try to.
Honestly I wanted them to add more pilots like Bill and Cat or even the girls from Star Fox 2 Snes
