Shikamaru Ninja · Apr 11, 2016

The staff credits aren't too much of a surprise. Nintendo / Platinum / Bee Tribe/ and several A/V subcontracting companies.

Producer / Supervising Director
Shigeru Miyamoto (N)

Producer
Tadashi Sugiyama (N)
Atsushi Inaba (P)

Assistant Producer
Hiroshi Matsunaga (N)
Takanori Fukuyama (P)

Director
Yugo Hayashi (N)
Yusuke Hashimoto (P)

Supervisor
Takaya Imamura (N)
Kazuaki Morita (N)

Program
Nintendo programming team actually handled the program in Kyoto according to the credits. Even the enemy program during the game was programmed by Nintendo. I was surprised by this.

Art
Nintendo did zero art. Platinum (and several outsource agencies including BeeTribe, XAX, Alvion, Teco) did all the art.

Music
Surprisingly Platinum and T's Music Company did all the music.

Voice / Script
Nintendo programmed all the speech in the game. Supposedly Mitsuhiro Takano (SF64) wrote the script again, but I might have missed his name in the credits.

did you mean director? or has nintendo really changed things up in preparation for the nx

I mean...we knew he was a Dictator, but it still sounds harsh

I really hope dictator was a typo because that is hilarious.

Yeah not a slight or anything. Just his credits on this one are kind of head and shoulders.

lol and who was it that kept insisting that Platinum wasn't responsible for the unimpressive graphics?

No, he meant what he wrote.

timetokill · Apr 11, 2016

Not a typo if op's post history means anything lol

MikeE21286 · Apr 11, 2016

Lol this is great

ViewtifulJC · Apr 11, 2016

if there's one thing people love about Platinum games, is their art direction for their various levels and enviroments

FloweryMarston · Apr 11, 2016

the credits have a very cool homage to iwata too:

it says after the end of the credits scene: this game is dedicated to our wingman who fell in battle.

Miyamoto: We strengthened the elements from the NINTENDO 64 version and implemented new interpretation together with long term series team members - the character design supervisor, Takaya Imamura and the script writer – planning, Mitsuhiro Takano. Please look forward to the future.

??? The issue with the visuals is that a large portion of the WiiU's limited resources are being sucked away by the gamepad integration.

So, the people who attribute anything interesting about the gameplay to Platinum are right or wrong?

Oblivion · Apr 11, 2016

It's really rare for Miyamoto to actually credit himself as a director, and after all these years, he finally does so for Starfox of all games? It's rather strange.

Javier · Apr 11, 2016

Man, even after all this time, the feels are still there.

Is this the first game that credits both Iwata and Kimishima as Executive Producers?

Well Fox McCloud is supposedly based off Miyamoto. Maybe Star Fox Zero is his Mary Sue fanfiction.

Yeah, that's true. What was Miyamoto's last directorial role? It feels like its been forever.

regular "director" credit: Mario Artist Paint Studio (1999)

supervising director (like in SF0): Super Mario 64 DS.

Pikmin 3 (I don't think this is explicitly stated, but it's plainly obvious he had a rather large hand in the development of that game), then Wii Music?

Not really. He hasn't been director on a game in awhile.

That's a really long time ago. One day I'd really love to try those Mario Artist games.

I thought he was just general producer? Though I wouldn't doubt that he would have a bit of a hands on role with that series in particular.

Neoleo2143 · Apr 11, 2016

Really shocked to see that the enemy programming was done by Nintendo because it looks pretty fantastic, didn't realize their skill in AI and simply attributed it to platinum.

Mechanized · Apr 11, 2016

Wait... they hired Platinum for the art and music? What?

What?

I need... I need to go to bed now. I don't want to think about this.

To be fair, Platinums taste in music is top notch.

Outside of Bayonetta..their art, not so much.

It also doesn't exist.

There's a few games where he's not officially listed as a director that everyone (well, almost everyone. Not gonna name names..) agrees that he was mostly in charge (OoT, Super Mario Galaxy, and NSMBW come to mind).

Makes sense to me. Nintendo has always been good with AI in various forms. It's just that we don't often see certain types like here with Star Fox Zero, being more skill based and arcade heavy.

He isn't the director though, two other men are the official directors. He is a supervising director

Apparently somewhere down the line people forgot nintendo were known as one of the best developers in the world.

No wonder the Star Wolf theme is godlike, Platinum was in charge of the music! Perfect.

I wish I didn't click on this tbh. To see that at the end... Oh god I'd bawl like a baby.

I almost am now ;w;

Geg · Apr 11, 2016

Platinum's music team + T's Music is basically the godlike team of composers behind Okami, Bayo 1 & 2 and the Wonderful 101 right? Let's hope so.
