Thumbs up for Ubisoft for managing to put splitscreen support for the Switch version!
Selling point for me! :)
What is that? I want to buy this game but if it doesnt have battle mode I dont think I want it
Short answer: yes
Long answer: star fox
I absolutely loved this game. I’m still playing it,
Fox looks like he’s live-streaming a game.
Would donate to GreatFox Gaming
Everyone donate 1$ per barrel roll
Next year they should add Samus and her Ship. I believe Ubisoft already said they plan to support this in the long run. Payday can’t come soon enough for me!!!!!
Yes!!!!
Ooh and Captain Falcon
Captain Falcon. For the first time ever, he might actually use his gun in a game, lol. It's a stretch but man, I'd buy the game flat out with that sort of inclusion.
Yes it's true cuz this dlc is collection 1, so mybe collection 2 will arrive in the future
Collection one contains 12 dlc
I hope they add more planet DLC though then or new stuff in-game, otherwise by the time the new toys comes out I will be bored to death with it already.
Starfox: Battle for Atlas looks great!
Star Link not Star Fox my dude
he’s joking it’s basically is starfox since all switch fanboys only buying it for starfox
Kilee M Nothing wrong with that.
EVILC44 i mean there gunna be disappointed when they find out it’s not as good as starfox is and just a repetitive shooter using starfox for money
Kilee M It cant be any worse then the experience had from trying to play Star Fox Zero. :(
I'm planning to get this at some point.
I’ve been playing the game for about 15 hours, and I really love it. I bought it, Black Ops 4 and AC Odyssey all within a few days, and I really only get the urge to play Starlink. I wish it focused a little less on ground based combat and more in combat in space, but the game is still amazing. The comparisons to No Man’s Sky sound ridiculous until you actually play it. It has very similar visuals and a similar feel (though it seems odd that every reviewer compares it to that and Mass Effect, as if they are just reading off the publisher’s review kit documentation). The graphics are insanely good on Switch, and I was never disappointed in the performance and frame rate, and that is coming from someone who is mainly PC Master Race.
I cant believe I just pre-ordered an Ubisoft product.
I WANTED THE ARWING DONT JUDGE ME
Edit: Picked it up today, spent 2 hours playing with the toys, haven't even played the game yet. I'm a fully grown adult
Edit 2: This game is fucking amazing, I've wanted this since Star Fox 64 0_0
fuck you, i'll judge you all i want, and i got to say......nice
You got money
Ayyyy. Star Fox SNES was the first game I ever played, I was 4 years old. I've always considered it a tragedy what happened to Star Fox. I can't wait until tomorrow, man.. I really hope this gives Nintendo a kick in the pants to give us a truly innovative but also retro-respecting Star Fox game. Give us a Star Fox that does to Star Fox what Odyssey did to Mario. I'll buy 10 copies of it and praise it to hell and back.
Ubisoft has great games.
Hey we all wanted that starfox content don't lie
Starlink 2: Alex grunts while opening stuff
Vsauce Puppet Starlink 2: Do a Barrel Roll
Aileron roll, not barrel roll. Nintendo got it wrong way back and never corrected it.
aviation.stackexchange.com/questions/26173/what-is-the-difference-between-a-barrel-roll-and-an-aileron-roll
Yeolde GamerSteve Can you stop repeating that? Yeah we know it's not an actual barrel roll that was proven years ago. But it's still an iconic line for the series regardless and we'd prefer no one ruins any jokes.
So you're telling me what I can and cannot say online now? Sure you can do that, but if you want me to do your bidding you need to pay my monthly ISP costs. I don't see why I should continue paying if I'm being censored. I accept paypal and look forward to your first payment soon.
imagine him in a lil ship moseying up to the starfox fleet and greeting them.. "Haaaallow there lovelee PeeeePol!"
Willing to bet the switch version outsells both ps4 and Xbox versions by a good margin.
Considering how many of us are interested in it JUST BECAUSE of the Star Fox IP, I wouldn't be surprised.
Definitely
Thanks Sweet rabbit -said thor-
You won’t get much action going the other way. Fox & the crew put this game over big time.
It won't; Starfox is a selling point but so is smoother frame rate and graphics:)
The real, unhyped, no mans sky. I want this.
Lmao
But it’s nothing like No Man’s Sky. This comparison is moronic
Galenmereth Except reviewers have likened it to no mans sky.
breadordecide The same reviewers that likened every action game with a hint of difficulty a “Dark Souls -like”?
Galenmereth So one mistake means they’re always wrong? And souls-like is a genre now just like metroidvania.
I've been playing this game with my son and we both love it. No it's not very difficult but it's great to play with my son and we want to get the different guns and ships. It's really fun and I think this review really does it justice. It's great fun
Pleasantly surprising review! Didn’t care much for getting the game and the Star Fox content seemed like it WOULD be pretty tacked on DLC-type stuff, but I’m impressed they took care to integrate it into the story like you say. Might reconsider buying!
I think a mix of Starlink mechanics and Starfox Zero could make an amazing StarFox game....having the open world/universe mechanic....going in and out of planets seamlessly, full planets to explore at will, include the transforming aspect of Starfox Zero's ships, bring back the Blue Marine for Water based planets....have linear-old school starfox segments in planets and in space... (corridor missions sort of)....worm holes to travel large distances.... random encounters with Star Wolf in space...... on foot missions too.... ...come on Nintendo, make it happen... we need a truly AMAZING starfox game...Starfox 64 is probably the best one (imo)...it's been far too long
I love planetary systems of planets
lol he did say that
Is star fox planetary buster?
he said it just fine. I would know - I work for the Dept. of Redundancy Department
I would normally go for the digital version, but damn I want those ships. they just look cool to have
Do you get fox and the arwing in the download version? On the eshop it doesn’t mention it.
This game looks so beautiful! I cannot wait to play this game! I was hesitant about purchasing it at first because toys to games are not my thing. However, this one seems so refined! I love that you can interchange parts in real time and the worlds seem massive and filled with things to explore. Can’t wait until tomorrow!
I've found the starter pack locally for €7 and plenty of stock. Tempted to pick it up next time I go shopping. I prefer physical cartridges over digital if I can help it.
I don't care for the toy aspect so am glad it isn't a necessity.
I bought mine for $14+ tax CAD from Best Buy. I’m really surprised how good this game is. It’s pretty open world, and even into space. I’ve also just found out you can rid the ships for seven days and play with only the controller. Even on normal it’s surprisingly challenging.
Just bought this for $11.99 deluxe edition too, can't wait to play it
If I get the physical starter pack, what weapon pack should I get? Which weapon type is the most important type to have in the game that doesn't come in the base pack?
9:33 What about Star Fox Assault on the Gamecube? Kind of an underrated entry in my opinion.
I agree I loved that game
The space gameplay was great the out of ship stuff not so much
as someone who 100% starfox adventure, assault, and 64, I've been looking up any starfox game i could play on the switch since i didnt have a wii u and only learned a week ago starfox 2 and the starlink dlc for starfox's crew was out. Im so goddamn happy rn these games were my childhood
Great job. 👍🏼 Lots of good info for us newbies in this video.
Hey Alex I have a question, does the digital version allow you to change vehicle parts or flip weapons around? I don't know if you said it already in the video haha 😌
Yes it does✌
Thanks hocotate 😁
If you have the physical version can you still play with the Arwing in handheld mode?
It’s surprising to me how much higher this ranks for you all as compared to André from gamexplain. Hopefully you join them for a future discussion on this Alex.
Question
If I'm getting the physical version, and want to play on the go is that possiable or do I have to always have the toy with me?
It's really sad how this game was forgotten. It really is a good game, better than skyalnders or infinity in my opinion. Imagine what awesome dlc could have came if it was more popular!
I kinda want to get this game and I plan on getting the pack with the arwing but I wanna ask just to make sure: the digital edition DOES let me use the toy right? And does the starter pack come with that thingy to us them? (Again I don't want to pay fort stuff then find out it doesn't work and stuff so I just wanna be 100% sure
Leaving the cockpit = No Man's Sky Mini.
Also, in that last bit (at the end of the video where NL talks about his own views), I really like going into the huge ship. It reminds me of finding hidden underground areas in Horizon Zero Dawn. Very cool!
Une cuestion can you use the arwing and fox withow the toy?
Is it possible to buy toys for all the items available in the digital version?
To answer my own question, it looks like the answer is no. Very nice breakdown here: www.nintendolife.com/news/2018/10/guide_starlink_buyers_guide_-_what_you_get_in_the_physical_and_digital_editions
i didnt hear. can you build how you want if you only get the digital deluxe (crazy builds) or is that only if you buy the toys?
Jacob chamberlain you can make insane ships digitally as well, the game gives you the options to use left wings on the right side (or vice versa) flip them so they're facing the wrong way, slap more wings on your wings (i don't know the limit on it since i only have the two ships from the starter pack) and even flip your guns backwards if you feel so inclined
Is there a regular physical form of the game toys sold separately but usable
If you mean a standalone physical version, no.
The physical version co.comes in the starter packs, you'll have to go digital if you want to bypass the Toys to life element.
So I got this today for the launch of the game and I must say this game is insane!! I'm so damn happy as Star Fox fan I wouldn't be happier to have this until the next entry in the franchise!
excited to play picked myself the starter pack !
So if I go digital, but then get a physical ship of one I already have in game, I can no longer just use it digitally?
Lifeoflink Hyrule i guess if you got that ship digital before getting a physical version you keep your original digital ship
I might of miss herd that but 5:43 so if get the Digital deluxe version but then use the Toys at ANY POINT I LOSE all of the Digital pieces?
GANTZ100pts no, bascially how it works is if you use a physical ship, you can only use the items you have physically, but you can just swap back over to digital by using the regular controller and will still be able to use the ships you own physically in the digital version
10:51 I love that 'angry Nintendo face' cue there!
Getting this tonight and I can't wait to play it!
RavenKnight_Gaming does the switch download have fox and the arwing?
@@andrewtong7068 yes all the version you download for the switch have fox and his ship.
How do you know this, I’ve been searching if it does for a while
@@andrewtong7068 go to the eshop and select the starlink game. Scroll down and hit the read more button. Once you do this it will pull up a bunch of other Information that wasnt there before. The 60$ digital version of the game comes with 5 ships, 7 pilots, and 12 weapons. The 80$ version of the game comes with 6 starships, 10 pilots, and 15 weapons. I hope that helps. If you have any other questions just reply and I will try to answer back.
This really won't do well on PS4 and Xbox One... it's Switch or nothing.
I want to get this on xbox one because I'm sure the graphics are better and the achievements.
...
...But Starfox tho. I'm sold on the switch version
@@htxflow Exactly! Starfox is everything for me too!
This game looks boring without Fox.
@@emeraldknight347 Agreed. To be honest I would not have even bought this if Fox wasn't in it!
Ya I can't imagine the sales for the PS4 or Xbox One being any good because starfox..... Maybe nintendo will realise how huge the Starfox franchise is and let ubisoft make a full on Starfox game this time.
I bought this for the switch this morning. Downloaded but unplayable. Does anyone know the release time for the U. S. East coast time?
Can’t wait to get starlink myself
A Star Fox game on Tuesday while Luigi's Mansion on Friday, Jess Ubisoft these days ;)
So right now as of 2023 the deluxe edition on switch is now 20 instead of $100 80% off should it be bought?
I just completed the game! For me Starlink Battle of Atlas is the best game for the Nintendo Switch! I loved Starfox and his team and it is very clever that Ubisoft connected Starfox to the main story of Atlas as well. The gameplay is smooth and the worlds are magnificent. I just hope they create another Starlink or Starfox game like this one! 😊☺
I'm just curious if you really need more than just the starfox ship. Are any missions unavailable if you don't have all ships/pilots other than the exclusive starfox mission?
and if anyone can answer this for me, please also like my comment so I get a notification on my phone. Thanks!
8:22 wasn’t it announced E3 2018?
Game was announced in 2017. Star Fox in the game, 2018.
I was trying to search videos on the starlink satelites and this is what youtube recommended as the first video on the list. haha
I'm so happy right now. Been watching reviews of this game all week, trying to decide if I wanted to pay the MSRP for it, since I've been unable to catch it on sale. I decided to wait for Black Friday, and got the Deluxe digital edition this morning for $15. I can't wait to get into this bad boy.
Is that the official Corneria theme for when you use Fox in the game near the beginning of the video? If so, props to whoever at Ubisoft who remixed that theme because that's probably the most faithful official rendition of the original Corneria theme I've ever heard.
So if you buy the physical copy with the ships. Can you play without attaching the ships to the controllers?
You gotta use the mount at least once every seven days.
Just to say that you get a digital zenith starship and a digital shredder weapon with the starter pack as well
Are the other ships and characters unlockable via game play or is all that content strictly DLC?
All ships, pilots and weapons are unlocked via paid-DLC. Which is way the digital version is so tempting for me.
Do you know anything about the direct
did I get something wrong? isn´t switch running on 720p? Why is this a 1020p upload?
Wait so splitscreen is only available for the digital version? And you can't get any more ships unless you actually BUY them for the physical one?
kaiserpeter0 no, i own the physical game and have played split screen with a friend of mine, and you can still use the ships you buy digitally, it's just that if you use the physical ships you won't be able to access the digital ones, which is easy enough to get around by just not using the physical ones, as you can use them digitally as well
So if I buy the switch digital version do I still get fox and the r wing?
Fox and r wing are unlocked from the start no need for the physical ship
Hmm, other reviews had me reconsidering, but I may have to re-reconsider after yours? Lol
I trust Nintendo Life Reviews over most especially Eurogamer who have this a questionable 3/5 with alot of sketchy complaints.
Well I didn't see that one coming, I also thought it was gonna be some cheaply made, not very interesting game like Skylanders, something with just a very surface level appeal to some kids with the toys and all. But now I'm honestly having a hard time keeping myself from buying it, I've been wanting to play something like this for a while and I think this is it. Also if the co op implementation is good I'll get my hands on this for sure. :3
Nice. Definetely buy, question is, now or later, toy or digital??
One question though. You said the digital deluxe comes with all the weapons, if you buy the standard edition can you unlock all those weapons in the game or are they deluxe exclusive?
zwippie92 this is my question and does each ship come with its own quests like blades do in Xenoblade?
You would have to buy those weapons in the game (real money), No quests for the ships unless you consider the Starfox content as Arwing quests...
Dammit. Now I got to think here, what to do, what to buy... Probably gonna take a while before I buy the game then, too bad.
This suits the portability of the Switch. Story heavy games work better as a home console experience for long sessions, but the short bursts of space dog fights suits the Switch so well.
someone please tell me what song was playing @ 0:21
Kentaro Ishizaka - Corneria
forget Fox is Falco playable though
Hes in the story but not playable
"You are SOOOO unlucky, user name!"
I bet in the near future he will.
Forget Falco, is Slippy playable though?
Right noe, they got the game finished and the main aspects of it. Later on, for sure, they'll add the rest of the Starfox team. I'm buying them all physical if they do!
Forget Slippy, is Peppy playable though?
Literally Starfox is why I want this game. I'm not even a big Starfox fan but he fits this world so good.
The game's sales prove that you're not alone.
Easily in the top-10 games I wanna get for the Switch when I'm finally able to cobble together enough money to get one in a couple of months. 😍
ALL of the content is already in the starter pack and you get an awesome Fox figure and Arwing model. The deluxe version only gives you more ships, pilots and extra weapons.
And WHY the hell would you want to play this game with ANYONE but Fox and his Arwing?
As far as I'm concerned, THIS. IS. STAR FOX.
You do get the starfox content including Fox McCloud and the Arwing in the Digital Copy too. You just don't get the physical toys.
Edit: Also as mentioned in the review, more ships means more lives.
W H O is Star Fox?!
This is the best not star fox game ever
Dragoner Productions looks much more promising that StarFox Zero. Bad dual screen controls, boring Gyrowing missions and another retelling of the story. I swear it felt like miyamoto didn’t try...
You cannot complete some of the bonus challenge towers with just the physical edition weapons... Its bullshit. Youll be missing elements needed to beat them
Need to pick this up. I would have liked it more if I was using the Landmaster on the planet missions but I'm not gonna be greedy, I will take what I can get.
Ubisoft release figures of Falco, Slippy, Peppy and Wolf.
Got an ad for Starlink whilst watching a review for Starlink...DOUBLE ADVERTISING!
...although it's a bit late. Already preordered the game.
can you leave the toys on they joycons and play with the pro controller??
How does it play in handheld mode?
Great review. Got me off the fence- let's rock and roll!
Can you play as only Fox instead of switching around? Is the game less fun if I only play Fox?
Alex, are you by any chance also a blacksmith?
Awesome Elite Dangerous mention. So many reviewers talking about mainstream spaceship games tend to not realize that game exists.
so do you need to pay for fox and the r wing or is it already in the game after the download
Fox and his ship are included in all Switch versions of the game
Braden Van Wagoner thanks
2:12
Oh yeah, I like my planetary systems with planets. XD
Worth it just for the Arwing in my opinion. It's very well built and looks really nice. I'll probably sell the game after completing it and keep the Arwing for display.
i just got it on 12/25 and it's really fun i got the hang the x button timeing ( not 100% but close)
I had to put on my own music after a few minutes because the video loops the same music bed all throughout.
So does that mean we can play without using the toys with the physical copy of the game?
Yes, the toys unlock the digital version of themselves temporarily (I think a week?), and digital purchases unlock forever (you can, apparently, mix and match what you buy phisically and digitally)
You've talked me into buying this game now lol. I hope I think it's as good as you say it is!!
This game makes me so hyped. I never really played a game with Fox besides smash bros. I’m hoping this goes down in price soon because $150AUD for the digital deluxe version is hella expensive.
There's one thing I need to know tho, is it absolutely necessary to have a physical ship thingy in order to play in co-op?
Destinny Bunny no it is not needed
@@FireHero Ohh cool! I was confused since the e-shop says it's single player. :p
Nah you can have one player playing physically while one plays digitally, both playing digitally, or if you get a second controller mount (Co Op kit) you can both play physically.
@@sniperfox47 That's nice, that was my only concern with the game at this point since I don't want any of the toys. If that's the case I'm surely gonna pick it up. Thanks for the answer. :3
Great review! We said pretty much the same thing in our video!
This really looks like an amazing game, but due to the high price, I do think think I will be picking this up anytime soon.
Nows your chance! It's on 85% sale digital
Does this play 60fps in hand held mode? Thanks
Just bought the digital deluxe edition for half the price on the eshop and I am loving it.
I love open world exploration games especially on the Nintendo switch
Zelda BoTW
Xenoblade Chronicles 2
Skyrim
StarLink
Ys viii
This are my favorite open world on switch, please let me know if I missed any good open world game on switch
I've been playing Starfox.. aka Starwing in my part of the world for 25 years.
Had been holding off on this title, but a client finally paid me, the game is on sale and it's downloading right now.
Is Andros in this
I honestly wanna try this game out .. but I recently bought dragon ball fighterz on my switch and also pre ordered red dead 2 on my xbox one x so am kinda broke now ;( ...but maybe after a couple months might still give it a try
100% worth it, just bought my second physical ship XD
Ubisoft: This is Star-
Nintendo Fans: STARFOX!!!
Ubisoft: Actually it’s an open world exp-
Nintendo Fans: NEW STAR FOX!!!!!
Definitely getting this I hope soon, looks so fun much plus duh STARFOX!
How's the framerate? I think that's pretty important in an action-based title like this one
With the toys you can just scan them into the game and switch to the pro controller also if you get the game physically
Woah.. even an Elite Dangerous comparison.... I guess I must get this.
I hope we get a toy pack with wolf and falco and guns and maybe include a dlc
does it have Uplay Actions?
Love space games, but I'm pretty sure I'm just getting this so I can have a sick Arwing on my bookshelf
