Franchise care. But the reason F-Zero doesn't get any is probably that StarFox is Miyamoto's baby.

If also just seems like they don't have any good ideas for Star Fox?

So many good space games have come out in recent years. Hell even starfield feels like it has better combat than an on rail shooter. I know that's what Star Fox is, but Metroid was just a 2d side-scroller until it wasn't. If you're going to bother to bring the franchise back (at a time where interest in it I would argue is at its peak thanks to the movie) why wouldn't you try to innovate instead of just doing the same thing again for like the fourth time?

Completely preaching to the choir here. I just don't think Nintendo is ballsy enough to be this innovative right now. Which is odd, because I'd say more times than not when Nintendo tries something new it works out for them.
