lets face it, as much as anyone defends wi-fi it just isnt nearly as good as psn or xbl. lack or headset and overuse of FC rly have just been killing it

but nintendo has a tendency to learn from their mistakes

with the wii's online games rly being either good....., or meh it rly needs a killer app to take them into the top tier of online gaming with everbody else.

Starfox has a tradition of making history: Star fox (snes) first full 3-d console game to run on that chip thingy, Star Fox64 (N64) brought rumble to console gaming, Star Fox Adventures (GC) rare's last nintendo game :(

i see no reason why Star Fox Wii shouldnt lead the nintendo online revolution, either bringing a headset in the picture or really just making it not suck, and thats ignoring the fact its multiplayer has SO MUCH potential.It's just a shame we might have to wait that long.

e3 '08 is gonna be an exciting one....

EDIT: there have been talks that hints sequel may be in the works...so yeah...its coming

Brawl will be Wii's greatest online game.

But I'm really looking forward to Starfox Wii if there is one. I welcome a good online mode. If I remember correctly, I had fun with the multiplayer in 64. Then again, I was quite young.

I don't really see the 'potential' in an online multiplayer mode in a Starfox game (then again, I haven't played the DS one).

It should primarily be a singleplayer game, like the previous games.

command had potential and it almost seem worth bringing foot missions back (as dreadfull as they were) to have a more engaging mulitplayrt

It still has more updates to go, man.

It's not like Starfox would have "revolutionary" online gameplay either.

Starfox is already online. It's called starfox command...a much better game then most give it credit. It takes the addictive multiplayer from starfox 64 and lets you play of the interwebz.

FC isn't a big problem, quit being so lazy. Not like you need to enter friend codes to play at all. SSBB will be everything I need it to be.

What would Starfox Wii do "revolutionary" also?

Brawl is adding a lot to the mix though, 3rd party vs. 1st party. Plus, it has a level editor. YAY LEVEL EDITOR! :D

It has stats, just fighting against randoms doesn't hurt/help it. Which is probably a good move considering that Ninty's online is P2P and host disconnects are enough to make you throw your console out the window.

On-foot missions were awesome, unless you weren't playing with the dual stick control scheme, multiplayer is also an absolute blast if you have people who are willing to play it. Star Fox Assault is probably the second most played multiplayer game for me, apart from Smash Bros Melee, but that doesn't count.

Rare made the first two and their gone. I'm sure if Nintendo put their mind to it they could revive Rare's series (Donkey Kong, Star Fox) but they don't want to for some reason.

Star Fox online? Eh, maybe Co-op with voice chat would be fun. Other than that, I just want a Star Fox Wii game that goes back to its SNES/N64 roots. The Gamecube on foot missions were god awful and really gave a bad name for the series.

Yes, 10 hour on-rails game (multiple paths) with more modes and online/local mutliplayer and co-op. That would be amazing. I would buy it 10 times.

On the Brawl site, the Starfox level makes me so excited for a possible Starfox Wii...

What? Nintendo did the first two StarFox. Rare only did the Star Fox Adventures spin-off, and the third Starfox was made by Namco.

I could've sworn it was Rare. Okay, it was Nintendo.

Rankings are for people with no life. IMO. I could care less. Only would want a headset for friends. THen again i already use ventrilo with warcraft 3 and i could always use that for Brawl.

Brawl will be Wii's first great online game. Though i think MOH:H2 may have that title.

They could make starfox online great with good on foot gameplay and great flying. It would be like assault just with better on foot gameplay. Plus it would be even better online.

Star Fox & Star Fox 64 both introduced something new to gaming, with real 3D polygons, and rumble. Why not bring back the trend with introducing voice communication to the Wii.

What's the point?

The only thing anyone would ever say in Starfox online would be "Do a barrel roll." with an occasional "Use the boost to get through" thrown in for good measure.

Yes, it won't be used all the time, but while in the lobby, deciding which game mode to play, map, weapon set, team, etc, etc. When playing with friends, it's very useful and it also makes for kills and deaths to be much more audible when the player expresses his or her own excitement or disappointment in such an event. It's better to have some form of communication, than complete isolation.

Starfox was already brought online via the DS, and it was pretty awesome. Even though it was basically just a rush to see who could get the Plasma Shot first.

I'm hoping that'll happen. What I would love to see is a Starfox game on WiiWare for $10-15 or so with an on rails campaign like Starfox 64, co-op campaign (local and online), and versus multiplayer (local and online). That would make me explode with happiness. But I'm sure that's not going to happen. Just as long as it isn't being developed by Namco.

Starfox's control style (at least for flying) will work like a dream with the Wii-mote. But I hope they can get good controls for the on-foot and landmaster parts as well. After the epic (in my mind) game that was Assault, I want to see them push the on-foot portions of the game that little extra distance, to squeeze some real quality out of it.

If there is going to be a Starfox game on Wii, I hope it's more like Starfox Adventures rather than Starfox Assault. That was a really awesome gane.

I'd rather have Assault style. Best in the series IMO, on foot just needed a little tweaking. I don't really consider Adventures to be a Starfox game, just a game that uses Starfox characters.

Either way, as long as Panther doesn't speak in third person, like in command, I'll be happy.

WTF? "Starfox Wii's first great online"?

Um... ok.

Brawl will be the Wii's first great online game, even without voice chat and rankings.

You want to play Starfox online, play StarFox Command on the DS.

You want to play a really good StarFox game, play the SNES game or StarFox 64.

That all said, I hope they make a sequel for the Wii that is on par with Starfox 64, and with the ability to play co-op. If they were able to implement an awesome co-op mode in a Starfox 64 style game, I would be extremely happy. Don't reallycare for the deathmatch style multiplayer that they have right now. I Doubt they will ever do an awesome co-op capable Starfox game though, and it makes me sad to see the potential wasted.

StarFox should rock if its by the people that made the SNES and N64 games. Online will be cool if they make it like that one stage in SF64 where it was like a 80 plane battle in an open stage.
