The first time I read it was on GAF, to be honest.
Hole-y shit
This is a Marine thing isn't it?

Thanks. I think I kind of regret asking, but thanks.

Wrong about commas, wrong about everything
That makes so much more sense.
Here I was sitting thinking "There is a rumour that Star Fox married Miyamoto's daughter?"

Characters with skinny joints was a thing in Japan in the '90s. Samuel Han from Guardian Heroes and Cloud Strife's PSone model are good examples of characters with relatively needle-thin joints.

He doesn't. That's why he finds it so weird that the internet thinks he's married to a girl that doesn't exist.
They're not? That what are they? His little cousins? Is he a volunteer for Big Brothers of the Mushroom Kingdom? How did he pass the background check?
As for Star Fox, they really ought to just make them amputated at the waist and they plug into the Arwings like an extension of their body. The next Star Fox game should show them being lifted from their legs and plugged in.

Nintendo has the worst lore. I love Zelda, but Zelda lore is so garbage. Koopalings, Starfox's metal legs, Birdo, Metroid, Mario (everything). I like their character design and gameplay, but Nintendo has the worst stories and lore.

nah, most are simple but not bad.
The Arwings in the original StarFox were said to be state-of-the-art prototypes, containing the first four G-Diffusers ever made.
Amputated legs were a holdover from a time pre-G-Diffusers.

Man I heard that joke over 20 years ago... wow it's still around?

The story he was retelling was also from 20 years ago...
I'm glad this is one Miyamoto hobby/fascination that didn't make it into a game!

Seems like this joke made the rounds back then. Heh, thought it was a regional thing.
I like this best. If you're not going to make physical sense lets go all the way with it.

The metal legs thing was something fans thought sounded cool, and you could make up some reasons "why it'd be true"; reminds me of how some people were fixated on Tails supposedly originally being a girl in Japan, despite that not being the case either.
I admit, I took the daughter thing for granted. Huh.
Kind of a shame they didn't bring him in to help with Zero.

"He" meaning...Fox?
I, for one, never thought Fox was married to anyone. Not even Slippy.
The fact that it is samus wondering it always kills me (who are you to judge, ms. "i turn into a tiny ball in my suit"?)
I just saw this video and looked up this thread to comment on this. Miyamoto is filthy.
Joking about fingering his butthole and using the last square to clean up is the real news here!
