Yeah, we ran that one extended from that ending. That was somewhat our first encounter with the difficulty in researching Star Fox for a definite canon.

Sense “Star Fox” isn’t that popular anymore, there’s not that many forums around based on it anymore. My friend has one, but most of the people hardly ever post on it anymore. Not much action on it anymore aside from a li’l SSB discussion.
 
Was Marcus the FoxXKrystal son from one of the alternate SFC endings?

@Beau Skunky  
I guess we can agree to disagree on gameplay. Kinda expected it, I do have a different idea of how that should work from the traditional, shouldn’t have expected that to go over great.
 
On the other hand, I do have a few other Star Fox fanon ships on my dA account as well, and while I haven’t been on an actual SF fan forum, I’ve run SF rps with my friends on our forum for several years now. My first was actually one that finished up, using Marcus as a military pilot with his squadron. In fact, the art I drew for that RP is one of the first you find on dA if you search for “Marcus McCloud.” X3
 
If you like, I can PM you our little message board to check out.

Well, seeing how most of the SFC endings take place in the future, so I don’t think any of them were meant to be canon. They said years back the next Star Fox game will likely take place before any of those events.
 
Well, I wouldn’t want them to overcomplicate the controls in Star Fox otherwise, you’d spend more time focusing on flying then dodging opsticles, shooting things, and barrel-rolling to reflect enemy fire. (Plus the “easy to learn, yet harder to master” thing is part of Star Fox’s appeal, and what made it so accessable/popular with even those not into sci-fi shooters.)  
Star Fox was never really meant to be a “simulation” game, it’s more of an arcade-style sci-fi vehicle shooter. A li’l simulation wouldn’t hurt though.
 
Also, nice vehicle design. I remember i used to go to Star Fox message boards. (Back when the series was more popular.)

@Beau Skunky  
One of the things my friend and I have said through multiple Star Fox RPs we’ve run is that the canon is terribly convoluted and inconsistent, with research being difficult. Friend supposes that Command’s endings were designed to tweak with the fanbase.
 
Granted, I’m a flightsim kinda guy, and while I’m not looking for FSX or Star Citizen here, I would kind of appreciate something “simcadey,” to steal a term from driving sim guys. Perhaps Rogue Squadron would be a decent benchmark, being able to go high, low, turn where you want at the angle you want…I’m not a fan of rail shooters.
 
Helicopter’s interesting, as we’ve made assault “Hovercraft,” (helis without repulsorlifts/G-diffusers instead of rotors - heli-shaped “speeders”) based on helis like the Cobra and Apache in our RPs, used by the terrestrial armies for close support.

Personally, I’d like a variety of both “all-range mode” levels, and auto-scrolling arcade-style “corridor-mode” levels like “Star Fox 64” had. YAW-flying might be more better suited for a more “simulation”-style game like the “Pilotwings” series. (I must add, I hope “Pilotwings 64” comes to Virtual Console some day… I miss that game. The SNES one is surprisingly good to though, which I got for free from Club Nintendo for my Wii.)
 
They said one of the new vehicles is going to be a helicopter-like vehicle used for rescue missions, or something.  
They also hinted the Arwing can transform into a land-based vehicle which is surprisingly a concept from the unreleased “Star Fox 2” SNES game.  
Much like how the DS “Star Fox Command” used the turn-based “Map” concept from said game. SFC would’ve been a great game, but it’s stylus controls kinda gave me writer’s cramp, and were kinda confusing at times. Also, alot of the alternate endings were kinda dare-I-say “angsty/downers.” Especially, the first one you get.  
(I think said ending is one of the reasons why some people hate Krystal. Her personality oddly varies in SFC depending on what story path you take.)

@Beau Skunky  
I’m kind of hoping that you’ll be able to fly in all degrees of freedom, full roll, pitch, and yaw control…or at least roll and pitch. I do realize that without a twist stick or pedals, Yaw is difficult to achieve other than to use shoulder buttons, but…yeah.

Awesomesauce! One of my favorite (underrated) Nintendo series!
 
Hope the upcoming WiiU game is good.  
And hopefully has online play. Something alot of Nintendo games lack lately aside from SSB, Animal Crossing, and Mario Kart.  
(They could easily fix some of the problems “Star Fox Command” suffered with it’s online VS mode. Like for instance, don’t end the match for everybody when one player drops out/disconnects. And also count “disconnects” as a loss to discourage sore-loser people from disconnecting on purpose just before they lose.)

Do a barrel roll!
