Star Fox Command
Star Fox Command is a 2006 shoot 'em up video game developed by Nintendo and Q-Games and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo DS. The fifth installment in the Star Fox series, Command is the first installment released for a handheld, and supports the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, making it the first installment with online multiplayer. The game was re-released for the Wii U's Virtual Console service in 2015.
The game is set a few years after the events of Star Fox Assault, and follows Fox McCloud attempting to defend the Lylat System from aquatic alien race known as the Anglar. Q-Games worked on Intersect, which Nintendo decided to turn into a DS game. The game was generally well-received; it has achieved an average score of 76% from GameRankings, a reviews aggregate.
The game has two types of single-player gameplay including a strategic map and battle mode. The overworld-like map mode is where the player takes command of several ships. The mode is used to get ships into the battle mode and is essentially a simple turn-based strategy game. Up to four ships can be maneuvered at a time. The object of the mode is to prevent the enemy ones from reaching the Great Fox. It also allows players to fire missiles from the Great Fox that they have picked up from exploring in this mode, or from meeting certain conditions in the battle mode (usually destroying all enemies). When a craft that is controlled by the player encounters an enemy group or missile in this mode, the gameplay switches to the battle mode.
Battle mode is similar to the "all-range mode" employed in Star Fox 64 for some bosses and levels. Like the cancelled Star Fox 2 the game is completely all-range, as opposed to the "on-rails" levels featured in most other Star Fox games (however, the game will sometimes force the player to engage in classic "chase" missions in order to complete an objective). The usual objectives are to destroy a base ship, destroy all enemies, or collect a number of cores to complete the battle mode. Once the battle mode is completed, the game returns to the map mode. As players progress through the game, they are able to choose to go different routes upon completing certain levels. Each route has its own character dialogue to accompany it, and players are able to visit differing planets depending on what routes they choose. The game features 9 different endings altogether, and gamers can access all of them by playing the game multiple times, selecting different routes each time. Instead of merely giving different perspectives on what happens to the Star Fox team, each ending is unique — the characters go in various directions depending on what ending is watched. Star Fox Command does not feature traditional voice acting. Instead it outputs gibberish akin to the "voices" in Star Fox for the SNES, or the "Lylat speech" present in Lylat Wars. Players can also record their own voices into the game's "gibberish generator" using the built-in DS microphone where it is converted into the garbled speech of the various characters.
Star Fox Command supports six players in local wireless multiplayer matches via DS Download Play and up to three players on the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. In Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection matches, only the Arwing II is available. Players score not by killing opponents, but by collecting stars from them when they have been destroyed. It is also possible to collect a star from an opponent not killed by the player. This is a modified version of the mode from Star Fox 64/Lylat Wars. Nintendo Wi-Fi uses a ranking system based on rankings of the alphabet with Z being the lowest and A being the highest. Players work their way up from Z by collecting wins (they could be based on points). For every win a player gains a certain amount of percentage and once they reach 100% they move to the next letter. The highest rank a player can get is 100% of the A rank.[citation needed]
The game is set in the Lylat system, using a similar map as Star Fox 64 to switch between each area. The majority of planets from Star Fox 64 return, with the exception of Fortuna, Macbeth, and Zoness. Command has the largest number of playable characters in any Star Fox game, with a total of fourteen, consisting of Star Fox team members Fox McCloud, Falco Lombardi, Krystal, Slippy Toad, and Peppy Hare; Star Wolf team members Wolf O'Donnell, Panther Caroso, and Leon Powalski, Star Fox 64 supporting characters Bill Grey and Katt Monroe; Fox's father James McCloud; and three new characters created for Command: Slippy's fiancée Amanda, Peppy's daughter Lucy, and Andross's grandson Dash Bowman.
Other characters make non-playable appearances in the game's story. ROB 64 pilots the Great Fox when on the map screen, while Slippy's father Beltino Toad makes an appearance during a mission briefing. In addition to primary antagonist Anglar Emperor, Andross's nephew Andrew Oikonny, Pigma Dengar, the ghost of Andross, and F-Zero series racer Octoman can all appear as bosses depending on the player's route in gameplay.
A few years after the self-destruction of the Aparoid race, the Star Fox team has disbanded. Peppy has succeeded General Pepper as commander of the Cornerian army; Falco has become an independent mercenary; Slippy has retired from active flying to spend time with his fiancée Amanda; and lastly Krystal has joined the Star Wolf team after breaking up with Fox. While patrolling the galaxy with ROB 64, Fox learns of the appearance of the Anglars, a race of aquatic alien that had been bioengineered by Andross and living beneath the acidic seas on the planet Venom. Led by the Anglar Emperor, the Anglar army has begun waging war across the Lylat system, taking control of most of its planets. Learning that the Anglars are now attacking Corneria, Fox rushes to battle the invaders.
