Guy says he'd like to work on Star Fox, rabid Star Fox Fans hassle him constantly. Guy thinks twice about working on Star Fox.

I figured right away before even entering the thread that his reason for it would be because of people asking him. I just knew it. Still though, I think that's a silly reason. You don't have to interact with those on twitter, you know.

Now I'm sad. I wanted Star Fox, a Kamiya-based Star fox ;_; As a SF and Platinum fanboy, it was like a dream come true.

With the level of financial success his recent games have been achieving, Kamiya will be working on F2P iOS titles before long.

So Wonderful 101 started out as a Nintendo All Stars game with the same concept? Why would Nintendo not want this to happen?

These are the same guys that reworked Dinosaur Planet and Pokemon Snap so that they represented established Nintendo IPs. Guess what? They sold more copies because of it. If this was possible without sacrificing the creative integrity, then by all means, why did this not happen?

I'm imagining Mario, Link, Pikachu, and Samus teaming up and throwing down, finally on the same side. Ugh.

:lol, you guys have to calm down. This seems more like "I still want to do it, but maybe if I say this people will stop asking" type of quote. And though you can read it as him being annoyed, it's hard to judge how he said it, exactly, through text.

Take a chill pill, brahs.

He doesn't want to make a new StarFox because of he internet ? I am having a hard time believing that's the sole reason for it

Haha, wow, wasn't expecting to see this post.

For the record, I agree

StarFox is only behind F-Zero on my personal list of Nintendo series that would stand to benefit the most from a reboot or at the very least some design updates

I'm not a Star Fox fan, but this seems to me more of a tactic for people to stop pestering him about it, rather than truly telling of Kamiya declining to work in the series should the chance arise.

Everybody get stupid question from everybody when you work in the entertainment business.
You really think he's the only guys who got asked stuff like that? What if Myamoto said that? "Guys, you ask too many questions, so Mario is dead now. You killed him."

Star Fox Adventures was the worst case of shoehorning an IP in the 3D era of videogames.

Fuck that ending.

Edit: And Nintendo fans openly admitting they would buy his games if only they had Mario/Link/DK/Samus is probably the worst thing you can say to a 3rd party developer.

I don't get this, he's never made Starfox. The whole thing was such a hypothetical that it surprises me people so offended in this thread, Sadness is more real that this supposed Platinum Starfox game.

Strange things happen. Apparently, Nintendo felt a Nintendo cross-over action game wouldn't haven been done in a practical way based on the proposed concept.

I'd honestly prefer Sakurai make it because I loved Kid Icarus. Did anybody ever find out of the real reason they cut SSE in the new Smash was because it was posted on the internet though? Cause if so I don't think Sakurai could do anything but make fighting games, people will always do LP and stuff like that so the story is gonna get out there regardless. Back on topic, I'd honestly prefer Kamiya come up with more new IPs. This guy has to have a trunk full of wonderful ideas in his attic.

This is something I find really funny.

Why is it that people give Nintendo shit for rehashing their franchises, yet clearly don't have an issue begging for older franchises to come back? They'd get the same treatment.

Well I would buy the game regardless, but let's be honest. The average consumer would see Mario/Link/etc. and instantly be more interested than seeing a character they've never seen before. I'm not saying that's a good thing, but for a game like this, especially if it's not being marketed well, needs this kind of thing. I'm sure it'll be a great game (still not out in the US sadly) but it would have pushed more copies with the brand recognition.

This either means he's working on it right now or there's still a chance on him working on a Murasame Castle revival. Either way, I'm good.
