FUUUUUUUCK Star Fox Zero and its rehashing of Star Fox 64 story, removal of characters that came around after Star Fox 64, and especially FUUUUUCK that forced "innovation" of janky Wii U second screen gunnery controls.

HOT TAKE: Star Fox Zero is the best entry in the franchise since 64. It delivered on every single thing the fans of SF64 wanted but because it got bundled with a controller gimmick that's all anyone could talk about, even though every other game that has motion aiming gets praised to high heaven because it's objectively a better way to aim a gun than a second thumb stick.
The opening cinematic was amazing and should have been its own movie/show, though.
I mean it's all subjective but I personally liked the controls and I'm sad about how hard they were rejected by the masses
I do dream of a Switch port that makes them optional though, because I feel like the game itself deserves a second shot. There's a lot to like in the campaign (except for that helicopter level).
I don't want to yuck your yum there, so I'll just share frustration that Star Fox is probably mothballed indefinitely now.
