Star Fox Wii U: 10 Killer Features It Must Have

1. Spectacular Space Battles

More than anything else, Star Fox Wii U needs to live up to its namesake of huge space battles that fully immerse you in explosive combat. If you watched Sony's press conference at E3 2014 you likely saw their reveal of the incredible No Man's Sky, which is a pretty good idea of how a next-gen Star Fox might look. The sense of scale present in No Man's Sky is exactly what Star Fox Wii U needs to strive for; a huge canvas that you can paint glorious flights of fanciful chaos on. Star Fox Wii U needs to take full advantage of the hardware, showing us space battles the likes of which we haven't seen before in any game. It's gotta be huge, with multilayered missions and a large selection of creative objectives that contribute to the overall completion of the mission itself. Make it feel enormous, where each mission comprises various stages of shooting, chases and escapes. You could potentially even open up the space battles to include on-the-fly character switching, moving the player from Fox to Falco, then putting them in control of another team member on the ground before returning to Fox. You could create a definite sense of team work by having missions where you have to rely on all of them to get the job done, giving everyone a nice sense of purpose that you wouldn't get by having Fox go solo all the time. This is Star Fox; it's gotta be big. There's sure to be something that you want in the return of Star Fox that isn't listed here, so hit the comment section and let us know what you need to see!
