One of the things that Star Fox Adventures did exceptionally well was the on-foot missions, which was a welcome change of pace from the traditional space combat sections. Hardware has come a long way since the GameCube, so the limitations that Adventures ran into could be outright eliminated with the Wii U version. A ground game is a must for the new Star Fox, as the variety that it adds is instant reward for the player. Suddenly, they get to control Fox McCloud on a much more personal level, getting to know him as a character instead of just the rear-end of his ship. Not only that, but you don't always have to put the player in control of Cloud. Getting to play as Krystal or Falco might also lend some extra dimension to the game, as well as giving them more time to fully develop a personality for this new Star Fox. Plus, if Nintendo lets us play as Slippy Toad, we could have hours of fun getting him killed for our own amusement, right?
