You think Japan and the men in charge of Q-games (Arognaught Software) would do anything crazy like make a Star Fox video game based on the event's of James McCloud and cause a great cannon confliction like that of the one in 64 through Command when they were debating about whether or not Solar is a planet or a Star?

Well unlike the facts that it took a while to figure out that part of Star Fox Cannon issue with Blink helping out on it, finding the information in a Japanese manual, I know it ain't going to be a big deal but you think it would cause a big confusion to the people if they haven't followed both the American and Japanese version. Esp in the 64 game, where most of the cannon started by having a different plot in the famous death of James McCloud, which comes to my question:

What fate would they most likely choose for James McCloud? the American version or the Japanese version? and how would the people react? And will it cause a big cannon confliction?

Of course this question is hypothetical if they DO make a Star Fox game that takes place in the events of James McCloud... But I like to hear form the fans of Star Fox and journalize their opinion about this topic on the forum.

hmmm... 1st: It's not like its some really big, expensive, super-professional project. It's entirely possible that there is no actual canon because nobody making the games cared enough to match perfectly with the previous game. The only canon that exists, imo, is that which the picky-obsessive fans makes (I mean that in a good way guys).

2nd: It's spelled canon. Cannon is a big gun.

I highly doubt these facts you state are just fan created lies...

Tell me later when you see if all the factual evidence about James death is still "fan made". I bet you my Japanese life savings of 100 yen. Its a waste of time going thorough it but if you don't believe me go through it. cause it is cannon facts based off the Japanese manual of Star Fox 64, which is more cannon than the American version, when the game came over here to America they changed the plot which by comparison to the original was changed a lot.

*this link is getting old Blink Fifth time used for cannon and still going woo hoo!!!* ^_^

In other matter of this subject... yeah I see that it won't be that bad... but the people on the forums (me includeded) along with any other hardcore Star Fox player *cough*Blink*cough*DZ*cough* will be preaching about it for the next several days to weeks at a time if they decide to make one...and anyone else decides to join the obligation party is more than welcome...

I'm a hardcore starfox fan, and personaly I like the original idea of the black hole.

I just meant to say that if none of the games match, it's not much of a canon, not that it doesn't exist.

There is in actuality very little canon storytelling in the StarFox series when compared to almost any other game. The entire 'story' is essentially flat and it has been fleshed out (often plausibly) by the community. The game is a shooter, and stories are often an afterthought in games of this genre. StarFox has it's inconsistencies, which shows this. The fact is simply that the story is not why you play the StarFox games... it's not meant to be story heavy... it's not final fantasy or metal gear solid. Gameplay has been the focus, and what ever "deep" story anyone get's out of it is only because of gamer culture adding plausible theories.

Additionally, its really hard to convince someone that something is truly canon material, unless it appears in the game; arguing will get you nowhere. Stories are changed in the translation process... you have to just take it for what it is and realize that there could be plot holes... I mean, its clear that the story of "StarFox" isn't the most fleshed out piece of literature/writing we've ever seen.

Take it for what it is. A simple game, with an entertaining story added. All these tiny minutia (while interesting for speculative debate) can't be proven until it shows up as a primary theme in the game (or is made clear in game). Instruction manuals have had tons of conflicting information, because often times the people writing the story are different from the people drawing up an instruction manual. It's often filler that's never even touched in game.

Sorry Mr. Word Perfect... but I can't help it if my computer auto corrects the word "Canon".

BTW its been a long time since I've seen you Strike911, "Mother Foxxing" and "Absolute High" are still one of my favorite songs on your list. ^_^
