Adam yeah. The Arwing wings have weapons if no weapon is attached. If the wing is on backwards then the weapon shoots backwards. You could also put a wing on a wing.
in the digital version, you can attach 3 wings on each side + a weapon. It is possible that you might be able to attach more with the physical toys, but it might also break from doing that.
@@laffodile1636 I don't think they're bad characters, but Link was easily the most popular. The GameCube version sold the best as a result, despite being the worst selling console of the three.
This was a tremendous game that didn't deserve to fail. One of the things this video doesn't really touch upon is how the game develops into a galactic sized Real Time strategy where you have to make decisions on whether to protect a planet that is slowly being taken over or rush to fight an incoming battleship that will begin decimating another. The depth here was surprisingly great for a game marketed at kids.
I'd like to point out something that Antdude forgot to mention: You can play the physical copy without the toys for up to a week before you have to re-scan them again.
When I was a kid, I thought up of a Starfox RPG, and this was pretty close to what I had in mind. It had more of a traditional Starfox style in mind for certain moments, but it had the world exploration with leveling up, equipment, various jets. So I had fun with Starlink.
Seeing you hold that Arwing in your hand that I saw you fighting in on screen just a few minutes earlier was something special. It's pretty cool when a game is done so well that people can enjoy it beyond the gimmick, thus making the gimmick something special.
A few things from someone who 100% completed the game just after launch: -Buy the Digital Deluxe edition, it comes with every possible ship and pilot currently available, allows you to access everything in the game with no toys required, and is only 20$ more than the base game. Buying it all separately would cost over 100$. -It does take a solid amount of time to complete the main story but sadly there's only 2 actual unique sidequests: The Star Fox campaign where you track down wolf over I think maybe... 5 short missions? and one other where you track down this scientist which leads to pretty much nothing. (I seriously thought my game was bugging out and refusing to show me any others, part of me still hopes it might have been) -The feature to ask for a "Sidequest" will just point you to the nearest camp you haven't cleared, area you haven't searched, etc. so it's more just to help you keep going without needing to pull up the menu or whatever than actual additional content. -All of the pilots are pretty interesting but don't add much, same kinda goes for the ships. The stats aren't that varied and everything plays pretty similar overall. (You also gain a level-up for every pilot you own when taking down certain bosses/completing objectives so even pilots I hadn't used until the end had a ton of skill points ready to go) -Play the game on hard from the start, especially if you have Digital Deluxe as each ship acts as an additional life. I went through the game recklessly and even after switching to hard about a third of the way through the game, I never got a Game Over. Even though these sound kinda negative I still really enjoyed my time with the game. It is a bit repetitive for sure but remains entertaining throughout. The cleanup after completing the main story though.... yeah don't do that. Once you've done all you want to I would recommend stopping there.
James Toomer I'm iffy on the digital deluxe point. I don't have the game, but if I were to get it, it would be to play entirely as Fox. Do I really need the deluxe edition if I only want to play Fox?
@@jasonball3496 The issue at that point is with the weapons. Not having enough weapons to finish puzzles (They might be completed otherwise but likely much more annoying) / do element combos in combat is a disadvantage. Overall, I'd still say get the Digital Deluxe just to have the weapons and alternate ships (As each one counts as an extra life).
I think the phrase "like no mans sky" was my response to over half the video Legit it looks and sounds like nms with a more action oriented core gameplay loop. To be fair, I like nms and that makes me interested in this, but still. It feels odd to see people so excited for...well, another variation on something they were hating on a bit ago. Eh, it is what it is. I'll take another space game. I fkin love space. SO DAMN PRETTY
Late reply, but to this day Rogue Galaxy has the best looking space I've seen in gaming. The main gameplay loop is basically just sci fi KH, but man they got some good looking space.
@@popplio7891 In that universe, there would be no furries because the creatures are real alien species. At that point it would just be interest in an alien species, no? Also, how can we say that the Star Fox crew aren't just genetically engineered humans? Edit: spelling
You know what I find fascinating. The fact that this game came out on Oct 16 of this year, the same day Skylanders came out in 2011. I am definitely buying this game and the toys.
Anyone else notice that one of the planets is called "Haven," and this is a gem where you can seamlessly travel between surface and space? This is like Haven in that regard, but better and more focused. Homage, maybe?
I still love this game. It really rewards you for using every character and leveling up their team skills. Pro tip. Level up Mason to his level 2 skill. It boosts xp for everyone in Starlink. Which is awesome.
Funnily enough; the Arwing has two uniquely special aspects to it aside from being a guest character: Its wings have guns installed by default. Likely so the purist don't need "ugly" guns clamped on to their "precious" ship in order to shoot. Jump-strafing and then boosting Does A Barrel Roll which can deflect shots like in Starfox
Don't forget, the combat has a Borderlands difficulty curve where you find enemies like 4 or 5 levels above you will absolutely destroy you. I love this game, I love the small little details they put in it, let's say you barrel roll and mess it up and you end up crashing, you see the pilots screen shaking and they go like "WTF!?". EXTREMELY pleased with this game.
*Sees a ship that's green/grey, my colours* *Instantly creates Amazon Wishlist with everything on it* *Checks Starlink wiki, the Cerberus is exclusive to GameStop/EBGames/Argos* Looks like i'm going to Sainbury's!
At 1:20; you show the red/black, blue/yellow & grey/green ships in sucession. Those are the colours for, respectively: my younger brother, older brother and myself. Weird coincidence. :P Also; i bought this game January 3rd 2019. I was originally just going to get the Cerberus from Argos/Sainsbury's (Grey/green) but then i saw the game itself in GAME for £20, i got it for £12 due to my loyalty card so i bought a discounted Disney Infinity Nemo to round up to £15. I've already done 38% of Kirite (Planet #1) and have just made contact with Eli Arborwood on planet #2; Haven.
Also, also; i bought the Pulse (Red/black) late at night on the 3rd Jan and it arrived today (5th) thanks to Amazon Prime! Since the game hasn't done too well; i've been able to get all this Starlink stuff at 1/2 price just like with all the Disney Infinity stuff i've been finding. (The Cars 2-pack boxed is still being sold for BS prices however)
Yeah I had too. Played as Fox the entire time too. Not to mention when you get the expansions you’ll have the rest of Star Fox to try. Slippy, Peppy And Falco. I love this game a lot. Thou....it could of been nice for other guest characters to be in the other versions. Maybe A special team from Star Wars. Oh! Well I use the Star Fox guns if I can’t seem to know which weapon too use. And I hope it stays too. And wish there’s other cool stuff to add on.
fire and imploder for the flame vortex win bought this when it came out and only got round to playing it this month. LOVED it. still got a bunch to do even though I've defeated Grax. Highly recommend.
Hmmm toys to life element? That sounds familiar, didn't we have that with Smash Bros and the amiibos, the Disney Infinity figurines, Skylanders, and let's not forget the Lego mini-figs that you can build and they would come to life in Lego Dimensions. Ahhh those were the good old days for some people!! Speaking of which, can you please do a video on Lego Dimensions and all the Disney Infinity games pretty please??
Fox can call upon his team mates for help, and they respond by taking away 1 full healthbar of any enemy or boss. It’s fucking broken. Any extractor is way easy with fox’s skill
You listen here, bub. I just saw that Spyro video the other day and I enjoyed it. You following it up with another video the day after? You, my good man, have my thanks.
I got Starlink Battle For Atlas for just over £12 on the Amazon for the Switch which is a Cartridge and the Starter Pack of the controller Stand and a Airship. Bargain, I don't believe it but it's on the way.
Not a Star Fox fan here but, i think this approach really fits for Star Fox, and if Nintendo ever does another game, they should think about adopting this style. Or at least something similar. Rather than rehashing the 64 formula for the umpteenth time. Adventures notwithstanding, as that wasnt even supposed to be a Star Fox game originally.
How would you feel if HAL Laboratories did a My Hero Academia platformer with Kirby, Meta Knight, Bandana Dee and King Dedede as secret unlockable characters?
Shame you didn’t mention that you can put the wings on backwards or upside down and the game recognizes it.
Whoah, that is a cool detail.
Adam yeah. The Arwing wings have weapons if no weapon is attached. If the wing is on backwards then the weapon shoots backwards. You could also put a wing on a wing.
@@zettarin Okay, now this is getting crazy. How many wings can I string together?
Adam probably a lot. 2 from each ship in the game on each side would make a lot. Also a weapon on each side.
in the digital version, you can attach 3 wings on each side + a weapon. It is possible that you might be able to attach more with the physical toys, but it might also break from doing that.
They really made every other version obsolete with fox's inclusion huh?.
Soul Calibur II all over again.
@@BDeity Not really the xbox version had spawn and the ps2 version had heihachi fair trade among all honestly.
@@laffodile1636 I don't think they're bad characters, but Link was easily the most popular. The GameCube version sold the best as a result, despite being the worst selling console of the three.
You gotta admit, that was a brilliant move on Nintendos part
Nintendo was like fuck those other consoles we have the arwing 😂😂
I love how the base cutscenes were modified to include the Starfox crew.

Star fox:battle for originality
The final boss is skuttlebug bandy
I do hope thaf this game gets a whole lot more of a glowup, it's the BOTW version of galaxy expedition
It would have been cool as Ubisoft made starlings Xbox version with the character Master Chief playable in the game

It really rewards you for using every character and leveling up their team skills.

It boosts xp for everyone in Starlink. Which is awesome.

If they do a starlink 2 (or DLC) I would love to see some space battles a la Battlefront 2 (2005).

Ooooooooooooooh, another antdude video I can watch instead of doing my homework!
I’m more interested to see what they do with Star Fox after this and see if they adapt some of the elements from Starlink.
I must be dreaming if another AntDude video is out so soon.
I really enjoy this game, but it's a bit too repetitive for me. Fun in small doses, but not great for binge-playing
An new Antdude video the day after we got a new Antdude video? Man, Christmas came early this year!
glad you like Toys to Life, cause i am so curious to you talking about Skylanders (1 of my favorite gaming franchises)
I loved razor and the one who was a racer who lost some limb in a crash and wasn’t broken but became faster

Love the game, love the toys. I’ve got Kirite to 100% and am working on Haven now before I get too far in the main quest.
Another collab with Scott the woz please
If you have no weapons on the arwing you can use the classic lasers
I CANNOT be the only one that gets No mans Sky Vibes from the graphics. Down to the bright neon lazers and effects...
One weapon is fire and the other is ice? You made a Todoroki ship!
This is gonna be interesting!
hahaboobs
Looks like Christmas came early.
I want the physical game to get the satisfaction of having Fox's ship.

So happy this doesn't require the toys. I plan to get it digitally on PSN since its on sale.
As long as you can barrel roll, it's an easy 10/10

That's gross ._.
Good to know?
I'm on the toilet right now! O:
A fact we didn't need to know...
Oh goodie, a Star Fox related video. Is this a sign of a Star Fox Marathon coming soon?
Stasis cannon flame thrower ice barrage missiles and the imploder cannon are the only 4 weapons you will need throughout the whole game
Thank you antdude for suggesting this game
It is now one of my favorite switch games
I feel like this is the first good game uve covered on this channel in a long time.
Every time I would mention Star Fox to my mom, she would always shout "DO A BARREL ROLL!"
just in case you dont know you can put more wings were you put weapons and it actually works
"With swappable pilots, Wings.." I see the accidental reference
For anybody whos genuinely interested, buy digitally as you get more content than the physical starter pack. Its on sale on the eshop right now too.
Fox can call upon his team mates for help, and they respond by taking away 1 full healthbar of any enemy or boss. It’s fucking broken. Any extractor is way easy with fox’s skill
2 uploads in a week...
We've been blessed
A good Ubisoft game? IN THE LATE 2000S?!
Also, from the notification, I swear I thought this was Aquaman Battle for Atlantis lol
Hey, a good ass core is the Warrior core. You can double jump with it, so you don't have to do parkour in the Saint Grand Missions.
I also played as Fox the entire time. And then when they DLC came out, I replayed it as each member of Star Fox. Even Slippy...
This is how you make toys programmed with video games
You listen here, bub.

Sorry Ant but I gotta judge you on that Barrel Roll you did at the end of this video:
........Sick Barrel Roll man. Peppy would be proud.
