It's more that Nintendo is more interested in polishing accessible content where space games offer the broadest sense of scale possible.
So there's no real way for them to deliver on that sense of scale with the appropriate amount of polish with appropriate amount of accessibility.
If I want to be in space, why would I play an on-rails shooter? I could boot up Elite Dangerous or X3 if I want depth and immersion, or No Man's Sky if I want to fuck about in cartoony environments.
They should give it to Platinum, move the rail sections to huge set-piece action and level transitions like Kid Icarus and Bayonetta, and have the main game be an acrobatic action game inspired by the Smash movesets. Boarding an enemy space ship, ninja jumping off walls, sprinting around on robot legs, kicking people, pew pewing lasers, jumping in an Arwing and flying through the ship as you cinematically escape the explosion.

Well before anyone got hold of the controls, this game lost me when it was revealed that it was another retelling of the Lylat Wars.

>give it to platinum So Yas Forums literally knows nothing about anything they talk about

i was so excited for this game to come out, i pre-ordered it and everything and it just..... made me miserable..
If you press select you can switch the tablet view to the TV at any time, which all of you would've known if you'd actually played it. >core gameplay is VERY good but too many missions stray from it This is the real problem.

yeah, they worked on it, but clearly didn't have any significant creative influence on gameplay design or control beyond Miyamoto handicapping them behind motion controls
Platinum makes great fucking action games, not rail shooters

>filter casuals That's what I kept insisting when the reviews dropped. Then, I learned the hard way that the game was a piss-poor attempt to recapture the magic of Star Fox 64.
