* AcclaimedFlop: While the game’s reviews were fairly acceptable for a game of this caliber, averaging out at 7.8/10, it just wasn’t the financial success Ubisoft hoped for. Not only were the cost of the starter sets and pilots/weapons were considered by audiences to be ridiculously high compared to other [[ToysToLifeGame Toys-to-Life games]], but the game also released at the end of the decade's Toys-to-Life fad, when even genre leader ''VideoGame/{{Skylanders}}'' had ceased releasing installments. Ubisoft ended up shutting down production of all physical merchandise within months of launch, followed by the Starter Sets for all versions being immediately discounted by up to 70% off across all major retailers. However, the game had enough fan support that the games will be maintained by Ubisoft in the form of possible DLC and patches for the foreseeable future. The digital counterparts of the figures, pilots and weapons are also still available; though, regrettably, at their original full and expensive prices.
** ZigZagged with the Switch version. It remains the most popular version of the game (thanks, [[Franchise/StarFox Fox!]]), even receiving a DLC update and campaign that added the rest of Star Fox ''and'' Star Wolf as playable characters and bosses, all with their own abilities and skills.

* AcclaimedFlop: While the game’s reviews were fairly acceptable for a game of this caliber, received mixed-to-positive reviews, averaging out at 7.8/10, in the mid-70s on review aggregate website Metacritic, and the game got a fair bit of attention for its UsefulNotes/NintendoSwitch version having a copious amount of exclusive ''Franchise/StarFox'' content (with that version of the game becoming the most popular as a result), it just wasn’t the financial success Ubisoft Creator/{{Ubisoft}} hoped for. Not The game's failure is generally placed upon its [[ToysToLifeGame Toys-to-Life element]], as not only were the cost of the starter sets and pilots/weapons were considered by audiences to be ridiculously high compared to other [[ToysToLifeGame Toys-to-Life games]], games, but the game ''Starlink'' also released at the end of the decade's 2010s Toys-to-Life fad, when even genre leader ''VideoGame/{{Skylanders}}'' had ceased releasing installments.

* GenreKiller: The Toys-to-Life genre was already considered dead when the game came out. The game sold well enough to not be a complete failure, but it didn't sell as well as hoped, and the toys are cited as part of the problem. Thus, the game merely killed the genre even more conclusively.

* AcclaimedFlop: While the game’s reviews were fairly acceptable for a game of this caliber, it just wasn’t enough of a hit with fans. Even though it sold enough to not be considered a financial failure, Ubisoft still deemed sales to be very disappointing. Plus, the cost of the starter sets and pilots/weapons, at the time, was considered by audiences to be ridiculously high compared to other Toys to Life, well, toys. Being released at what should be considered the end of the line for the Toys to Life genre overall, when even Skylanders wasn’t a big deal anymore, is of no help, amiibo notwithstanding. Ubisoft ended up shutting down production of all physical merchandise, including weapon packs and pilot packs. Then, Starter Sets across all versions were immediately discounted by up to 70% off across all major retailers. However, the game had enough fan support that the games will be maintained by Ubisoft in the form of possible DLC and patches for the foreseeable future (the digital counterparts of the figures, pilots and weapons are still available though- regrettably, at full, expensive prices). All of this is zigzagged in the Switch version, however: as it’s probably the most popular version of the game (thanks, [[Franchise/StarFox Fox!]]), Ubisoft has confirmed that DLC for the Star Fox quest will be released, adding the rest of Star Fox ’’and’’ Star Wolf as playable characters or bosses, respectively- with their own abilities and skills, too! They still won’t get physical weapons or merchandise, though.
