Miyamoto wants a Starfox game, Hideki Kamiya wants to make it at gunpoint!

**********************************************************************************

In a recent interview with GamesTM, Shigeru Miyamoto seemed to express interest in having a new Star Fox game made:

"When GamesTM told Miyamoto that they'd love to see a new Starfox game for Wii, he replied: "Me too."

He also previously said to Japanese games magazine Famitsu that the Wiimote could be used to control the Arwing in Starfox."

If he's really interested, it looks like there's one acclaimed developer ready for the task.

Platinum Games' Hideki Kamiya, director of the critically acclaimed Bayonetta and Okami, had quite a bit to say on this matter at his Twitter when a follower pointed out the interview to him yesterday.

First, he Tweeted: "If they had the team that made Star Fox 64 make it..."

He then followed with: "I want Nintendo's staff to come to Platinum, stick guns at us and tell us 'You guys make a new Star Fox.'"

He went on to offer great praise for Star Fox 64, particular for its scenario and the heated battles.

It looks like Kamiya already got midway through development of his own little Star Fox. As a submission for entering Capcom, he offered two ideas. One involved wolves and ended up being the basis for Okami. The other was a 3D shooting game. However, he was so satisfied with Star Fox 64 that he thought there'd be no need to make a 3D shooter.

Nintendo X Platinum Games Starfox game on the Wii?

Could be good.

Interesting.

Let him do it Nintendo! At least he know Starfox 64 was the last superb game in the franchise

Hideki Kamiya (Platinum games) working n a Star Fox title? That would be sweet.

I've kind of given up on Starfox at this point. I hope they make good ones, but after utterly destroying the story and characters in Command -- and before that, with Krystal and the awkward stories in Assault and Adventures -- I want to pretend the series ended with 64

Yes it would be. I'd buy it.

Though the sales is what I'm worried about. If this new Star Fox game sells poorly... :( Please make it a mixture of aerial combat and action adventure/RPG. I'd love to play this series like that.

Nintendo should cling to the developers that are enthousiastic to work with them and don't worry about the rest. As long as nintendo and these few teams get a hold on the ins and outs of the nintendo platforms its audiences will get the games they want. They don't need 3rd party ports from other consoles as gamers tend to have more than 1 platform to game on.

If they did this i would actually dust off my wii and play it.

We should turn this into a competition. Judging by the amount of people in here who proudly talk about the amount of dust on their Wiis, we might as well give the one who collects the most a prize.

Maybe i'l make a "Show your dusty Wii" thread. The one with enough dirt on it to build a small house wins a brown shooter of their choice.

Nintendo has had many third party companies make their titles for them in the past. Zelda four swords, Metroid another M, Mario Party games and Mario 3 on 3 all come to mind. I know there have been many more other cases. So we can hope. HarlockJC

Star Fox 64, or as its called in Europe 'Lylat Wars' is just amazing. It's a pity they couldn't translate rumble for the VC edition, it was an incredibly good game for rumble. Even the tank sections were fun.

Didn't the rumble pak come in that big box. Get it, its still worth it, you'd be surprised at how good it is with the rumble pak. I have a better third party one though, it doesn't need batteries like the Nintendo one, its lighter and fits the slot tighter, so it doesn't rattle when it vibrates.

I think it was the first N64 rumble game but it uses it better than most other N64 rumble enabled games. Every where it's used was so well thought out. And it seems to use variable vibration speeds as well.

Starwing and Lylat wars were immense. I haven't played anything starfox related after those, but if a good Starfox game came out for the Wii, it'd give me another reason to consider rebuying one.

I have mixed feelings about this news. On one hand, I'd love to see a new SF games, but I don't like the populist comments about Star Fox 64. It was a great game at the time, but I'd want something better than just a rehash of that game. They shouldn't drop the idea of on-foot missions. If executed better, let alone with Wii controls, it could really make for something special.

Hideki Kamiya wants so send the series back the way it was before Rare made Fox a Zelda clone. But what I have to ask about is why does he want to wait for Miyamoto to ask him to make it? Is he not aware Miyamoto wants to do it as well?nintendoboy16

This is pretty late Nintendo. Wii Fit must be losing appeal finally.tomarlyn

I find it odd how reliant Nintendo has become on other developers to make their games for them. But it is Hideki Kamiya, anything he would make would be godly.

I might be forgetting something, but apart from Metroid Other M, i'm not really seeing anything else.

I played 64 back in the old days and it was (actually is) a bad game, pretty overrated. Forgettable story, bad characters and an awful gameplay ruins this game. Miroku32

1. The story was a bit on the short side, but there was a lot of subtlety involved. Much like Majora's Mask, there is a lot of backstory that is hinted at but is never exactly portrayed in the game. In Sector X, for example, basically everybody on both the Cornerian and Andross' side were destroyed by the new Bio-weapon. With a game like Star Fox, the journey is more important than the destination and in that regards, it did an excellent job.

2. Bad characters? Some of their one-liners and banter between the characters are some of the most memorable quotes in the video game industry!

"I am the great Leon!"

"Never give up. Trust your instincts!"

"Do a barrel roll!"

"Check your G-diffuser system." (I still don't know what that is :P)

3. The gameplay surprisingly holds up quite well to this day. Levels such as Area 6, Katina, Aquas, the space fights with Star Wolf, etc. are very intense and exhilarating. The intensity of the battles increases exponentially if you are trying to receive the medallions and play through all of the hard-course levels. For an added challenge, I find it fun to go into cockpit mode. D:

Area 6 is probably one of the most epic levels in the game. You see Venom growing ever closer, Venom's soldiers in complete disarray, and Star Fox is kicking some serious ass. That level was pure gold.

Being able to acknowledge that Starfox 64 was the last best game in the franchise shows that he has great potential to make this game. Because everyStarfox gameafter Starfox 64 was pure garbage.

I hope it's 90% like starfox 64, then 10% something new..I also hope they make a new F-Zero!

I might be forgetting something, but apart from Metroid Other M, i'm not really seeing anything else.

Thunderdrone

You should probably open your eyes a little more...

Metroid Prime (Retro Studios)
Metroid Prime 2: Echoes (Retro Studios)
Metroid Prime 3: Corruption (Retro Studios)
Custom Robo (NOISE)
Eternal Darkness (Silicon Knights)
Super Mario Strikers (Next Level Games)
Mario Strikers Charged (Next Level Games)
Punch-Out!! (Next Level Games)

These aren't developers who were hired directly by Nintendo to work on their main teams... these are developers who were once independent, and then became part of Nintendo. Except of course for Silicon Knights, who were never purchased outright.

foxhound_fox

Is that necessarily a bad thing? That practice is quite common with MS and Sony and other large video game companies as well.

I would welcome a new starfox.

However i hope nintendo makes one, just one, memorable newIP this gen.

People only hate the newer Star Fox games because they were not graphically updated carbon copies of Star Fox 64.
