On the other hand, it could be turned into a Battlefield type game fairly easily. Obviously it would be fluffy and stylized, but that's not the worst thing in the world either.

Count me in.

[Graphics Horse]

I'll give you the same over-dramatic response I gave to someone in the Wii U thread. Dudebros don't want to play a game with furries aimed at children.

Maybe it's a reboot which reimagines the animals as manly muscle men?

[MisterHero]

So the F-Zero universe

[PapaJustify]

Never understood why Nintendo didn't do a proper Star Fox title for Wii. The controls would have been perfect fit for that kind of game.

Hope this is true. Star Fox in true HD and bomba graphics would be sweet as sugar.

[Nocturnowl]

So the F-Zero universe

Gritty sandbox action game set in the F-Zero universe where you play as a grizzled Captain Falcon as if it were Batman Arkham City, hunting those bounties to the point where he's basically a full blown vigilante.
Oh and there might be some racing stuff in there somewhere, I can smell the success from here.

[SpacePirate Ridley]

As this news is probably fake it doesnt matter anyways, but if Retro is really doing Star Fox WiiU:

-Make a long on rails single player mode (with the range mode for some bosses like Star Wolf). No on foot shit what so ever, and one or two special stages with the sub and tank (an maybe the mecha of Star Fox 2). Make fun of this stages in the story (make Falco the "audience" here, the jokes practically are written by them selves.)
-Make the single player story with coop option up to 4 online or splitscreen, you can unlock different vehicles and characters with different atributes as the story porgresses (like the only good thing in Command) this will make a longer singleplayer mode and the different ships could help diversify getting new high scores. You can play old missions with new characters you have unlocked, but the fist time you have to beat it with the characters the games gives you in that mission becuase of its story.
-Make a fun and epic story like Kid Icarus Uprising, never try to give it a serious tone. Full of jokes, character quotes and and a simple story like andross being the main villian, with surprise (or not).
-Make a multiplayer online mode with on range free for alls. The different atributes in ships will make it fun. Also make lots of players at the same time (maybe 20) with team based games also.
-Make a puppet style graphics for the chracters, change some of them so they dont look too scary.
-Make effect explosions just like in the old Star Wars movies (basically like putting fireworks inside a spaceship model). It will look great with the puppet style characters.
-Music have to be orchestral versions of the SNES Star Fox and Star Fox 64 melodies, with lots of new tracks also.

There you have, a long on rails game with diversity and beat high scores frenzy, an amazingly good online multiplayer, and an unique artstyle.
If this doenst save the franchise, let it be dead until it passes 20 years more and you remake it.

To the poster that says that Kid Icarus does it better, im sorry but the on rail missions of Star Fox and Star Fox 64 beat out the crap of the ones in KIU, at least in gameplay. Yeah, the are much more epic in KIU, but the attack pattern of the enemies and the score types make a million times more fun the Star Fox games. In the highest difficulties the Kid Icarus on rail stages are not fun at all, and I vastly prefer the on foot gameplay.

[SpacePirate Ridley]

Already done with F-Zero, James McCloud is part of the cast of racers as a human.
BTW nearly all the Nintendo space games are tied by the same universe, at least in cameo forms.

TV Screen: Main racing action

Subscreen: Controlling the Falcon Flyer as you shoot the other racers from above!!!

Oh damn.

Well there you go then.

[Host Samurai]

Am I the only one that would love a new StarFox to resemble the SNES version? Even if its only a level or 2. There is something very charming and strange about StarFox 1 that I can't put my finger on it. I just love the look to the game with odd geometrical shapes resembling enemy ships. Im in the minority but I like StarFox 1 better than than StarFox 64.

You should play Kid Icarus Uprising then....

[Vinci]

I don't recall ever wanting Retro to make a Star Fox game. Treasure? Yes. Retro? No.

[Nemesis_]

I don't know if I have ever seen a leaked story regarding Nintendo ever seem to come true.

Or is my memory being selective?

[Glass Joe]

This has been covered in the Wii U speculation thread (and perhaps here but I didn't see at a glance). But basically the old Retro quote of "it's something everyone wants us to work on" was taken out of context, that "something" wasn't attached to any game.

I'd love to see a proper Star Fox on consoles again. Just picked up 64 on the 3DS and it's about perfect. Retro could make an amazing looking game and I don't think it would eat up all their resources to do so -- meaning they could also be working on something else... Two A level games instead of one massive AAA title.

Part of my reasoning as to why I hope this is true is because a smaller-in-scale space shooter could be THE graphics showcase for Wii U.

I also want to see F-zero and Wave Race. They wouldn't need two racing games, so I'd prefer F Zero on a console and Wave Race on 3DS (didn't Wave Race start on the Gameboy anyway?). But nothing on my conversation really DEMANDS Retro. Treasure could do a cool job on Star Fox. Retro might be good for F Zero since they did some work on MK7 but it's not a very in-demand franchise (though I love it!).

[Anth0ny]

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

Pretty much. Star Fox doesn't need Retro, it needs EAD to give a shit again.

No chance in hell Nintendo is wasting Retro on Star Fox. They need a game that sells.

[-PXG-]

Oh my God. Oh my fucking God.

Please be true. How many souls must be sacrificed for this to be true

[EVIL]

Retro should be working on a big-budget third person shooter. A new franchise with the pull and prestige of Gears and Uncharted would add hugely benefit Nintendo's roster.

YEAH! lets take an amazingly talented developer and let them make some uninspired dude-bro shooter. brilliant ...

[∀ Narayan]

Please be like Star Fox 1 (SNES).

Why would i want typical human soldier/sci fi characters over this awesomeness? This with plenty of cheese, please! I've been watching vids of Kid Icarus Uprising (cant wait to unwrap it later today :D), and we are in serious need of more high quality, funny, nonsensical videogame characters.

YES. I really love that style for Star Fox. I would really like a new SF with that style and dark tone like the SNES game.

[kittens]

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

E3 being a few weeks away doesn't make every random rumor true.

No chance in hell Nintendo is wasting Retro on Star Fox. They need a game that sells.

Yeah, I'm thinking the same thing. I'd welcome a Retro Star Fox, though.

[Exterminieren]

Don't get me wrong, I'd love a Wii U Star Fox, but that's not what Nintendo should be setting Retro to work on. Like it or like it not, Retro is Nintendo's big Western studio, and they'll be set to work on products which appeal to mainstream audiences in the West. Star Fox is very far from being one of those titles.

Honestly, I see them being put on a new IP for a new generation.

[Boerseun]

I shall partake in your poll, good sir!

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

Very much psyched indeed!

[HigherLevel]

I want a new Starfox but I'd prefer it if Retro was doing Metroid Prime 4 or a new Zelda game.

[∀ Narayan]

Pretty much. Star Fox doesn't need Retro, it needs EAD to give a shit again. No chance in hell Nintendo is wasting Retro on Star Fox. They need a game that sells.

Give it to Treasure. They would be perfect.

[idwl]

YEAH! lets take an amazingly talented developer and let them make some uninspired dude-bro shooter. brilliant ...

How is gears and UNCHARTED uninspired dude-bro shooters?

[Brera]

No All Range Mode please.

[Anth0ny]

YEAH! lets take an amazingly talented developer and let them make some uninspired dude-bro shooter. brilliant ...

"Nintendo's new dude bro shooter sells billions"

[pulga]

New Star Fox? YES!
To Retro? NO!!!!

Let them work on something awesomer. Don't waste their time on Star Fox. Treasure was born to revive this franchise, give it to them.

[UncleSporky]

So do we get to play as Fox and Krystal's puppies then

[Ghost_Protocol]

Not surprising at all. It was either going to be Star Fox or Zelda.

[Linkhero1]

A lot of people here would be disappointed if Retro was working on a Star Fox game. After Metroid and Donkey Kong, I don't mind what if Retro is truly working on a Star Fox title. We haven't had a good one since Star Fox 64, so I'm thrilled to see what they are able to do with the franchise.

[Hiltz]

I'd be fine with Retro doing Star Fox. The franchise needs to see a return to glory anyway.

"Cocky little freaks!"

[GDGF]

I will get my new Starfox.

[Foxy Fox 39]

I'd rather them not to be honest. I don't think there's anywhere they could take the starfox franchise that would legitimately be better than the 64 title.

Id rather them work on zelda or a 2d metroid like fusion.

[SlickShoesRUCrazy]

yes please!

[Anth0ny]

I'd rather them not to be honest. I don't think there's anywhere they could take the starfox franchise that would legitimately be better than the 64 title.

Play Kid Icarus. It can be done.

They need Kondo on the soundtrack again.

[WiiRevolution1]

I'd rather have retro work on Zelda, a old IP like Star Tropics or Ice Climbers, or a new IP before Star Fox. But I love the Starfox series so I'm game!

[Host Samurai]

I am down with Retro working on old IP's. Hell they are called "Retro" for a reason and they are proven to resurrect old IP's without straying far off on what made them great to begin with.

[Conrad Link]

Do I trust them to make a fantastic Star Fox game if thats what they're doing? Absolutely!

Do I actually want them making a Star Fox game? Not really.

I want them making a giant adventure game or something. Something big. Star Fox is cool but its more something, I dunno, a smaller team could manage and still probably do quite well type thing. Like Platinum or whoever wanted to do it. Can't believe Treasure haven't been given a chance either, despite how close they are (or were?) with Nintendo.

[Hiltz]

I think some people are underestimating what Retro could do with a Starfox game.

[polyh3dron]

o hai carles

[kittens]

I'd rather them not to be honest. I don't think there's anywhere they could take the starfox franchise that would legitimately be better than the 64 title.

SF64 was too easy and had too few levels. Ditch the submarine (I like the tank), add harder difficulty settings, and make some truly difficult levels. SF64 was a cake walk even when I was a kid. I loved it, but it was too easy.

[AlphaTwo00]

Makes sense. Star Fox since 64 have been this weird bastard child that's the "genre/game experimentation" game, and no two games since then have stuck to just the core flying game, and often just explored the features of the system in odd ways.

I expect some sort of Star Fox Command like interface here again if its legit.

[Afrikan]

I guess this is how I'll get my "next gen" space shooter fix....(thankx Sony for no Colony Wars, knuckle heads!)

[Green Mamba]

Play Kid Icarus. It can be done.

Why is everyone repeating Kid Icarus? The flying parts are only superficially similar to Star Fox; they don't really play anything alike.

EDIT: And Sin & Punishment, for that matter.

[Jburton]

Third person Metroid game.

[Kamek]

I wish this were true :(

Retro would make an amazing Star Fox game.

[Muchi Muchi Pink]

Do I trust them to make a fantastic Star Fox game if thats what they're doing? Absolutely! Like Platinum or whoever wanted to do it.

Platinum Games is not small. I would even go so far and say PG is much bigger than retro.

I think some people are underestimating what Retro could do with a Starfox game.

Totally!

[Shiggy]

I wonder whether they'd include ground missions.

[thefro]

Gritty sandbox action game set in the F-Zero universe where you play as a grizzled Captain Falcon as if it were Batman Arkham City, hunting those bounties to the point where he's basically a full blown vigilante. Oh and there might be some racing stuff in there somewhere, I can smell the success from here.

Actually, a game with Captain Falcon & James "Fox" McCloud teaming up in a reimagined, F-Zero/Star Fox combined universe would be really cool.
