Star Fox
Star Fox Zero might have been a bit of a low point in the franchise, but there’s no denying that Nintendo fans are keen to see Fox McCloud and the rest of the team return to form. While smartphones may not be the best platform for a blockbuster title in the series, it would be the perfect place to, say, port that Wii U title that was hindered by a bizarre control scheme.
While you’d still need to use motion controls for steering your Arwing, doing so while having a third-person view of your ship on your screen would be much less confusing and nauseating than the dual-screen setup the Wii U used. Heck, even if we saw a remake of Star Fox 64 come to smartphones, it’d be sure to keep fans happy.
An alternative option would be for Nintendo to pursue a sequel to the part turn-based part real-time action of 2005’s Star Fox Command. The title used the DS’ touch screen to have players plan out a path on a map of the level to defeat the forces and take control of enemy bases. It was a change of direction for the series, but one which may suit the smartphone platform better than the traditional Star Fox gameplay.
