I don't really disagree that a new Star Fox can be popular just for the sake of it. With the way things have moved on they could just take Star Fox fundamentals and crank it up to 11. Same thing Ori did for the metroidvania style of game by taking a 2d genre and making it gorgeous.
With that said I'm not sure whether Nintendo is prepared to deal with the torrent of furry content any such game would unleash.
Playstation Allstars was probably right to try something different but just didn't really make a good game lol. The only smash clones that have succeeded have been Rivals of Aether, Brawlhalla (casual-only) and Multiversus (but fighting community support for it collapsed due top Warner Bros CEO's fuckery). All three of those games fundamentally carved out an identity for themselves that is different to Smash, whereas the games that just tried to emulate Smash the hardest actually failed.
