The peak of the Star Fox franchise (yes, undoubtedly over 64), with ideas that for some reason have never been expanded upon. Star Fox Assault offers the most variety in gameplay, characters, and concepts of the series. While these are not perfect by any means, they combine to create the franchise's most diverse and engaging experience that is a great game on its own. I would love to see the ground combat modernized and revamped in a new Star Fox game, and honestly have no idea why Zero just completely forgot about it, but sadly I'm not sure if we'll ever see another Star Fox game again, at least anytime soon. Assault overall is the most 'worth playing' Star Fox game today, with gameplay ideas that do not deserve to be abandoned as they did.
