Murder if disrespected source

An inside source close to the folks here at Techtroid has suggested we may be seeing a Star Fox reveal at E3 this year, along with the already announced Pikmin and Mario games. The new title is believed to be developed by Retro Studios, who we know for a fact are working on a Wii U game. Retro has previously said: “It’s a project everyone wants us to do.” The source added that the game will be shown off, but will not be a launch game for the Wii U system.

Do you believe?
Are you really excited?
Do you trust Retro to make a good Star Fox game after Metroid Prime and DKC R?
Is Star Fox relevant?
Has there been a good Star Fox game since Star Fox 64?

[Edag Plata]

My dream project.

[Keyser Soze]

People who use "inside source" in their stories should be shot

[darkpaladinmfc]

The only surprising thing is it not being a launch title.

[Cosmonaut X]

IIRC, the "project everyone wants us to do" was nonsense.

Can we PLEASE have a thread here at GAF for debunking stuff that gets thrown around like this? Like a GAF Snopes?

[specialguy]

Seems credible. We should get these type of leaks close to E3.

[GameE]

Old and fake

[Arxisz]

Wut.

Btw. Nice questions.

[Nibel]

After Starfox 3DS remake did so amazing well, I can see this happening! This rumor must be true!

[Empty]

oh it's nintendo e3 "rumours" from unknown websites with terrible site design time of the year again

besides we all know treasure are secretly making starfox wii u :)

[Jackano]

They definitely can handle it as well as they have done with Metroid and Donkey Kong.
But I'm waiting for more than just a Starfox game for the launch window from Retro and Nintendo.

[King of the Potato People]

Not one of my favourite Nintendo franchises but I'm sure Retro Studios would do wonderful things with it.

[Bisnic]

I can't wait for the day that Wii U threads will stop being rumors.

Four more weeks...

[Spieler Eins]

Retro deserves better than this.

[Desiato]

Do people really want another Star Fox that bad? I'm sure Retro Studios will do a splendid job as always, but I'd rather have them do another Metroid, Zelda or something completely new.

Would you prefer them say "so and so at so and so company informed us that! -" ?

If you want people to lose their jobs that is.

[gofreak]

Would love a HD visual tour-de-force Star Fox. Please please please.

I want people not to write shit they thought of whilst spending time in a bathroom

[schuelma]

I find this very unlikely. My bet is on an original IP first person game of some type.

[Floex]

It's about time Nintendo started bringing back franchises I actually care about. This could sell the Wii U to me :D

[dinosaur_hunter2]

Fake or not, I would giggle like a school girl if true. I'd love a HD Starfox.

[ajvizzgamer101]

That's Retro's forte... is bringing old classics in to a modern world. It makes more sense than Retro Zelda. (Though Retro could be making a 3DS Zelda or helping with a Zelda project.)

[Nintendo Ate My Children]

No.
No.
Yes.
Yes.
No.

[NeonZ]

Personally, I think it'd be a waste if this is supposed to be some big title.

Either it won't be on rails, and then why bother using the Star Fox brand (really, antropomorphic animals theese days likely only will get in the way of the sales) or, even if it's mostly on rails and finally a better title than Star Fox 64, it'll likely be too short/traditional and really doesn't seem like the type of content that could make me want a new console. It's a lose/lose situation.

I've changed my mind. Let's scrap the whole thing.

[shinobi602]

Is there something about this story that seems particularly farfetched? I can't see it...

[volpone]

Star Fox is an odd series. In general it isn't anything that special barring Lylat Wars (which is a remake of the original). It has a wierd furry fanbase second only to Sonic. It's given us plenty of horrible characters (Slippy, Tricky, Krystal). It doesn't even sell that well.

Do people honestly believe Nintendo would put Retro to work on it? Even if they could make a good game, furry animals in space 6 seems like a hard sell to me.

[lunchwithyuzo]

No thanks. I still want that Platinum railshooter.

Yeah, I don't see the fascination with the series. And after Sin & Punishment 2 and Kid Icarus I see even less need for such a game, just because there was like one good entry in this series 15 years ago.
If anything, it should be outsourced to Treasure, Platinum, etc.

[Muchi Muchi Pink]

Yes. I want another starfox and F-Zero.

[Floex]

Yes. I want another starfox and F-Zero.

[Alextended]

Even if it is true, I wouldn't get excited until they confirm full support for Wiimote based control schemes. Rail shooters with controls inferior to S&P2 should not be tolerated anymore. Please. God, even if it's great in its own ways, I hate the Upad is what they came up with instead of a true evolution of the Wii Remote Plus with better button placement and tracking in addition to a camera. It's such a major step back in so many ways, while offering very little, if anything, that the 3DS couldn't already on some level.

I guess I could do with a twin stick based scheme if it's not actually a rail shooter though, for pitch, yaw, roll etc controls on top of whatever touch functions used in order to maybe have RTS and other such elements built in the game. Just don't try to have a lengthy story, guys, nobody wants to see a space opera starring furries, focus on the gameplay.

hahaha caught me off guard

[onilink88]

Don't do this to me, mang. :(

[ShinUltramanJ]

When Retro said it was a game people were asking them to do I figured it was a new Metroid. Who was asking them to do Starfox?

Whatever the case I'll be happy if this proves true. Retro is the best developer Nintendo has, I have total faith in them to create the best Starfox game yet.

[ScreenSplitter]

Well it's not like Retro are strangers to doing fantastic revivals of older Nintendo franchises.

[SomeDude]

starfox and f-zero not good enough for retro studios.


why not have them do a sequel to dkcr or a 2d side scrolling metroid?


or even let them have their own take on zelda.

[Mafro]

When Retro said it was a game people were asking them to do I figured it was a new Metroid. Who was asking them to do Starfox?

Yep the obvious answer is clearly Metroid. How anyone could think that over Starfox I don't know.

The Wii U tablet controller and a new Metroid Prime game are a match made in heaven.

[KaizorPenguin]

I love Starfox, but I don't think it's what Retro should be working on if nintendo wants to attract the core gamer.

[jokkir]

After Starfox 3DS remake did so amazing well, I can see this happening! This rumor must be true!

How well did that game do anyway? >>

[Floex]

Would people be opposed if it wasn't on rails? I'm thinking more in terms of Rouge Squadron. Big sprawling space battles (man I want another Rogue Squadron game :( ) With bonus levels being a throwback to the SNES game

You could use the touch pad to send squad members to different areas of the map. Like, you would be commander Dog (I forget his name). Different tactics would mean each fight, the enemy would have different approach each time you play.

[butter_stick]

I don't see why people want Retro to do Zelda. I don't really count them as an "A" team for Nintendo considering the franchises they've worked on. Star Fox or F Zero seem like reasonable franchises that would fit their stature.

[ScreenSplitter]

Being the only vaguely non-Zelda Nintendo title for a good few months, I reckon it did ok.

[hardcastlemccormick]

I agree. At this point I'd rather we just get another Sin and Punishment.

[Floex]

Metroid Prime was never an 'A' team game? What?

The last good starfox was starfox 64. I think EAD did pretty much did everything they could do with the franchise with that game.

[fabricated backlash]

Anything but Star Fox! I'd hate to see Retro wasting their talent on that shitty IP.

[Krev]

Star Fox should be taken out back and shot. It's a terrible IP, there's only one truly great game in the franchise and a bunch of mediocre-to-bad ones, and in Sin & Punishment and Kid Icarus, Nintendo have two other franchises that do very similar things, but better.

Any amount of money or effort being put into a new Star Fox would be a waste.
