Star Fox on Switch 2: Japanese Fans React — "They Cut 'Gomen-chai!' and Westernized Fox"
Switch2版スターフォックス、日本のファンの反応—「ごめんちゃいが消された」
“Hot take: this game's single most divisive change is them cutting the "Gomen-chai!" line.”
本作最大の賛否両論点、ごめんちゃい!が消されたこと説
On the Switch 2 version of Star Fox, Japanese fans reacted by zeroing in on exactly what changed from Star Fox 64. The single most-debated point: the cutesy "Gomen-chai!" ("sowwy!") voice line getting cut. From there the thread argues Fox got Westernized — he lost the polite, earnest-hero feel of 64 and now reads like a cocky modern kid, and people miss the punchy "Mission Complete" delivery. The mood is nostalgic and split, "good and bad, but it's a different beast from 64" — with one fan landing on why the new Fox might actually be the right call.

Well, "Gomen-chai!" is gone, but in exchange Fox stopped being a "leave it to me" bot, so…
ごめんちゃい消えた代わりに、フォックスが任せてくださいBOTじゃ無くなったから…
- @RubberSoul007👍 16
The dialogue wasn't great overall. Fox not respecting his father is going to feel off, especially for anyone who played Assault.
セリフは全体的に良くなかった フォックスが父親をリスペクトしてないのは特にアサルトをやった人からすると違和感あると思う

Gutted that Katt's "Hey kid, I'll lick your face later" line is gone.
キャットの『ボーヤ、あとでお顔をナメナメしてあげる』がなくなったのショック

The story plays out like a movie and it's easy to follow — I liked that. But man, I really wanted that "Andross, sowwy~!" 🤪
映画を見ている様なストーリー動画が分かりやすくて良かったと思う。 同時は??が付きながらやっていたが、分かりやすくて良かった。 今後、アップデートや新作スターフォックス出てほしいです。 アンドルフ様〜ごめんちゃいは欲しかった🤪

For better or worse, it feels like a different beast from 64. Personally I loved how 64 Fox was this earnest, straight-up good-guy hero. Switch 2 feels like they rebuilt the whole vibe almost completely Western-style. Thanks for the clear breakdown though 👍
良くも悪くも64とは別物感がありますね。 個人的にフォックスは64の真面目な正義漢っぽいところが大好きでした。Switch2は洋物風にほぼ完全に世界観を作り直した印象があります。 わかりやすくまとめてくださりありがとうございました👍
- @親猫-f6q👍 27
Sad that 64 Fox lost his politeness and turned into some modern kid.
64のフォックスの礼儀正しさがなくなり最近の若者になってしまったのが悲しい
- @ひまわり-l5h👍 17
Fox's personality change is divisive too. He was a rare talking protagonist for an old Nintendo hero, so people feel a loss when he's different.
フォックスの性格変更も賛否あるな 昔の任天堂主人公では珍しく喋る主人公だったから違って寂しがられてるイメージ
- @wenli.k👍 0
The dialogue felt like it got closer to the English-version Star Fox. Maybe they had to unify his personality to sync the action and lines in the cutscenes?
セリフは英語版のスターフォックスっぽくなったなぁって思いました ムービーシーンでアクションとセリフを合わせるために性格を統一しなきゃいけなかったのかな
- @Endeavor-101👍 22
I wonder if Fox is sticking with that personality going forward. As someone who loved earnest Fox, that's a little lonely…
今後フォックスはあの性格で行くのかな。 真面目なフォックスが好きな自分としては寂しいかな……
- @ブランドーディオ-p6z👍 4
He's literally looking at Andross's true form and his reaction is way too composed. Normally you'd be like "So THAT'S what you really are!"
アンドルフの正体見てんのに反応が澄まし過ぎてるんよなぁ それが貴様の正体か!ってなるやろ普通
- @ハヅキ-d9y👍 0
It became a one-of-a-kind "playable sci-fi movie" and I love that. People are talking about Fox's personality, but I actually prefer the new one — over the safe, easy-to-project-onto 64 Fox, this emotional, more distinct Fox won me over. New Fox is the way to go for me.
プレイするSF映画って感じで唯一無二なゲームになったのが本当に良い。シームレスなゲーム進行に通信が入るこの形は映画感を感じるのにかなり向いている。個人的には文句なしの傑作だと感じた。 フォックスの性格の話が出ているけど、プレイヤー心理を重ねやすい真面目で無難な言葉遣いの64フォックスより今作の感情的でキャラの立つフォックスの方が好きになれたから新フォックスはこれがいい。
- @kakkun76👍 28
I really wanted them to keep how 64 delivered "Mission Complete." I loved that punchy BOOM-BOOM-BOOM-BOOM impact.
「任務完了」の出し方は64版を踏襲してほしかったな あのドンドンドンドン!という力強い表現が好きだったから
- @hoohoo-rb9hj👍 4
Maybe with the multi-language support, the same staging just didn't land right so they dropped it…
多言語対応で同じような演出しようとしてもしっくりこなくてやめたとかかな…
- @しょぴお-l5i👍 0
"We're breaking through the center of the enemy fleet!" should've been left as-is. I liked that straight-up taking-command feel.
「敵艦隊の中央を突破するぞ!」はそのままが良かった ストレートに指揮を執ってる感じがすきだった
- @disknghs3168👍 8
I was let down by the timing of the +50 HIT pop on the Macbeth boss kill. 64 had absolutely impeccable tempo on stuff like that.
マクベスのボス撃破シーン +50HITの出るタイミングにがっかりした 64版はそういうところのテンポが抜群に良かった
- @yotaro385👍 0
It honestly saddens me that the Sector Y boss lost its goofy small-fry energy.
セクターYのボスの三下感が無くなったのが悲しくてしょうがない
- @ヘムヘムabc👍 1
The escape scene with James after the final boss — I liked 64's direction better 😂
ラスボス戦後のジェームズとの脱出シーンは64版の演出の方が好きだった😂
- @へいるまんtsa👍 0
If the courses and bosses are the same, I'd have preferred they kept the character voices too.
コースそのまま、ボスそのままならキャラボイスも据え置きが良かった
- @かげ-z4x👍 3
I want them to add a toggle for original-game dialogue.
台詞原作モード切り替え機能追加して欲しいな。
- @ドラゴンリュー-f1x👍 25
It's fun, but if you've got attachment to the original there are definitely bits that'll make you grumble.
面白いけどオリジナルに思い入れがある人はムスッとしちゃう部分はあるって感じかな
- @たな-i8c👍 4
Honestly it's just nostalgia bias — as a game to play today it feels like you'd get bored fast.
ぶっちゃけ思い出補正があるだけで、今やるゲームとしてはすぐ飽きそう。
- @メダカ-x4k👍 0
Plenty bugged me: light on content, you have to route through pointless stages just to earn medals, no new gameplay systems, and the dialogue lost its edge. But the visuals genuinely look like a movie, and this clearly feels made to bring in newcomers — so what matters more than an old-timer like me is how much new players got into it. With the roleplay camera and the solid online play, I think it's an ambitious piece built around onboarding newcomers and visual presentation.
ボリュームが少なめな事、勲章を貰うために用の無いステージも経由しなければならないところ、新しいゲーム体験(システム)が無い事、セリフの尖りがなくなった事など個人的に気になる点は多かったです ただ映像美は本当に映画と見紛う程でしたし、何より本作は新規を入れ込むための作品という様相を強く感じたので古参の私よりも新規の方々がどれぐらい興味を持ってどれぐらい遊ばれたかが重要だなとも感じました なりきりカメラや充実したオンライン対戦も含めて、新規導入と映像表現の面を主軸とした意欲作だと思いました

I'm a Star Wars fan, and ever since the Mario movie I got Star Wars vibes off Fox, plus this game feels really close to that (in a good way), so I bought it. It's my first Star Fox and I'm having a blast — there are tons of moments that feel like homage. The lip sync is built for English too, so I set the audio to English and it feels like watching a foreign film with subtitles. People who know the older games might find lots of it jarring, but as a newcomer I felt the fact it doesn't just stop at a rehash is something that deserves credit.
私はスター・ウォーズのファンで、マリオ映画の時点でフォックスにスター・ウォーズを感じて、更に今作かなり雰囲気が(良い意味で)似てるということで購入に至りました。 初めてのスターフォックスですが、実際オマージュを感じるところがとても多くて楽しんでます。 リップシンクも英語なので、音声を英語にして洋画を字幕で観る感覚になってます。 過去作を知っている方には色々と違和感があるかもしれませんが、ただの焼き直しにとどまっていないあたりは評価されるべき点でもあるのかなと新参者ながら感じました。

On that Venom 2 thing, this version actually sits better with me. In the original it was so "he modified himself, so why is he moving around in the flesh?"
ヴェノム2のあれに関してはむしろ今回のがしっくり来る。 オリジナルは自分を改造したのになぜに生身で動いてる?感が凄かったから
- @ちょこさん-h3i👍 5
Personally I enjoyed the 64 version, so the nostalgia stacks on and I'm satisfied. The graphics are gorgeous — that's Switch 2 for you. I'm playing it with my kid, swapping stories about back in the day ♪
個人的には64版を楽しんでいたので、懐かしさが相まって満足です。グラフィックも流石Switch2で綺麗で良かったです。当時のことを話しながら子供と楽しんでます♪

The Great Fox's covering fire in Area 6 was absurdly flashy and so satisfying. You're insanely strong, Great Fox…
エリア6のグレートフォックスの支援射撃が滅茶苦茶ド派手で気持ち良かった お前クソつえーなグレートフォックス・・・
- @おいしいプリン_417👍 6
The dialogue's almost all changed and there's staging that frustrates me, but I'm genuinely so happy Star Fox came back to life in this era. I'd love a sequel to turn this into a reborn Star Fox series.
台詞がほぼ変わってたり演出に不満を感じるところもあるけど令和にスターフォックスが蘇ってくれたのが本当に嬉しい。 続編も出て新生・スターフォックスとしてシリーズ化してくれないだろうか

As an old-school player, this video said everything I was feeling! If they use this as a springboard for a fully new Star Fox 2, I'd be over the moon!
懐古プレイヤーとして思ってたことを全て代弁してくれた! この作品を足がかりに完全新作スターフォックス2とか出してくれたら大歓喜!

I loved Star Fox 64 so I want to play this so bad. I'd legit buy a Switch 2 just for it 😂

He's in Smash, but he doesn't feel that well-known, so I hope Star Fox spreads to today's students.
スマブラにでてるけど、あんまり認知されてないイメージだから、今の学生にスターフォックスが知れ渡るといいな。
- @風人ウライ👍 1
For me the flavor felt close to a Star Fox version of GQuuuuuuX… stamp of approval! If they'd beef up Assault, which I loved story-wise, at this quality, I'd get greedy for that. Also, at 11:30 it was my first time seeing Wolfen II lose its wings — wild!! P.S. I accidentally tapped dislike a second ago — KENT, nooo!! Gomen-chai!! 😭 (re-tapped the like!)
個人的には、スターフォックス版のGQuuuuuuXと言った味付けに近く感じて……太鼓判押印でした! 出来ればこのクオリティーで、ストーリー的に好きだったアサルトがボリュームアップしてくれたらと、欲張りそうです。 因みに11:30ウルフェンⅡが羽もげるの初めて見たが、凄いですな!! 追伸 さっきうっかり低評価タップしてしまいましたぁ〜 KENT様ああ!! ゴメンちゃい!!😭(高評価再タップしました!)

Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon fans reacted to a pricey (~50,000 yen) Balteus figure announced half-jokingly as a giant "candy toy." The thread cracked up at the idea of a 1,000-to-1 Xylem being physically impossible, got genuinely grateful that FromSoftware keeps the IP alive through merch even without a sequel, and argued Balteus really is near the top of the PCA's combat roster — "of course they sent their best from the start." Affectionate, broke, and ending on a line about the thing prowling your room at night.

When word spread that the Switch 2 port of Elden Ring was being nicknamed the "Tarnished Edition" (褪せ人エディション), Japanese players gleefully ran with the in-joke. The thread imagined Nightreign converts getting bodied by the Tree Sentinel before Margit finishes them off, riffed on a fake "For You, Without a Maiden" sticker on the box, and rolled out every demigod insult in the game. It builds to the question that breaks everyone — and one reader's verdict on FromSoftware's relationship with discrimination.

On Elden Ring, Japanese players turned a "what gear did you actually main?" thread into a wholesome fashion-souls show-and-tell. The most-liked picks were the cloth Banished Knight set and Vagabond armor with a Greatsword for "peak adventurer vibes," while others swore by the Black Knife set for keeping a light-roll, mixed Cuckoo Knight helms onto Night's Cavalry bodies, and confessed to cosplaying Ranni on a grizzled old-man face. It all builds to the same punchline the video saves for last — the one drip choice that had everyone laughing.

🎮 GamesGamesYouTubeFinal Fantasy VII Remake Part 3 Reveal: Japanese Fans React — "I'm So Hyped I'm Binging Every Reaction Video"
On the reveal of Final Fantasy VII Remake's third and final entry (called "Liberation" in the Japanese coverage), Japanese fans went fully euphoric. The top comments admit they're "too hyped to sit still" and binging every reaction video, then turn surprisingly reverent — deep respect that today's Square Enix rebuilt FF7 from scratch, and trust that they'll land it because Rebirth already proved they can. Threaded under all the excitement is a quieter, teary note about Cloud's gentler voice in the trailer, building to a closing wish that this team get to make every Final Fantasy from here on out.
