Star Fox Creator Not Interested in Developing Star Fox Wii

After interviewing Q Games President Dylan Cuthbert about PixelJunk Eden, G4tv.com hit him up on some questions with a franchise he helped create for Nintendo – Star Fox. As most Star Fox fans would agree, there were few Star Fox titles worth playing: Star Fox, Star Fox 64, and Star Fox Command. Not surprisingly, Cuthbert was involved in the creation of all three.

Since the release of Star Fox Command on the Nintendo DS, there hasn't been a Star Fox title for quite a while. Considering the fact that there hasn't been a Star Fox title released on the Wii so far, most would believe that this year will be the year where Fox McCloud will climb into his Arwing for his first Wii Star Fox voyage.

So will Cuthbert and Q Games be at the helm? Not likely….

Thats strange. The series seems like it was built in mind for some sort of motion control...

Yeah, it'd definitely have the best control yet, by far. It'd make the viewpoint a lot easier to take advantage of. I'm sure in comparison, the N64 version would feel awkward.

1.3 - If he can get motion controls like Flower on the PS3

That would be perfect. Flower had the best flight-motion controls I have played. Oh yeah, Warhawk was also awesome. I think he's right though, Miyamoto making Fox get out of the tank is a bad idea. Don't fix it if its broken.

I'm guessing Q Games has had so much success with PSN titles that they don't want to risk a venture on to the Wii. Although I'm guessing that if they did make Star Fox Wii they may actually be one of the few 3rd party companies that sells A LOT of games.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am a very avid Star Fox fan.

Come on, can't he just use the Classic Controller or GameCube Controller!!

Just imagine online modes in the game! 32 players!!

If they announce a new one, they BETTER not do another walk and shoot game. Those controls were terrible, expecially for the Gatling Gun.

4.1 - hmm

32 player online for a nintendo game.

i don't think that will ever happen.

look at punch out, 13 characters, only one is new.

Nintendo doesn't like to rattle the cage too much with their IP's

It's not impossible. Medal of Honor, even though a EA game, proved that it is possible. However, I do see your point. And Punch-Out is kind of disappointing, not just the characters, but the fact there is NO ONLINE FUNCTIONALITY! WTF NINTENDO!!

Maybe at least 12 players! And Q Games doesn't have to make it, Nintendo can take it over at any time and have a good shooter developer like HVS or Konami (Gradius, Life Force, etc.)

I'm not surprised, the last Star Fox game on Gamecube was technically very good, I guess they didn't want to develop a game on such dated hardware again.

The star fox series lost it's way a long time ago. I don't think this guy knows how to make another good star fox game either. Getting out of the tank really what is the big deal with that? It's done fine with FPS like UT and quake wars.

Some one else needs to take over this series. It's clearly an step child right now. It's really bad when I can have more fun playing with star fox in smash brothers than in his own game.

Some thing tells me star fox and F zero need to be in the same universe.

Another thing is star fox had a battle toads like feel stashed in there but they never developed it. I would rather retro give this one a try.

what a douchebag developer, the wii is not a toy, you got dead space extraction, mad world, deadly creatures, etc to prove it. that dude from ea even said with dead space they will push the wii to the max. let's see what happens.

fyi, im a ps3 owner, but my gf has a wii and she's dissapointed with the games, she plays my ps3 more than the wii. i happen to like the wii, i wish these developers would get off their asses and give us some classics.

" 4: Would you like to do another Star Fox game?

Dylan Cuthbert: (Laughter) After Command? Uhh, not yet. Maybe in another 10 years. I’ve made three.

G4: Well there hasn’t been one for the Wii yet…

Cuthbert: The problem with that is that it’d be a big project, like 100 people on the staff. It’s just not something we really want to do. I’m sure someone will make it. Maybe they’ll go back to Namco. "

Its not all lost, StarFox is still coming, we know it is.

" Cuthbert: Yeah. Maybe that’d be more fun to play with. I don’t know. The Wii is a bit more of a toy, I think. "
How is this relevant? He says it takes up to 100 man to do such project, and says maybe namco can do it. So WTF does " wii being a toy" have to do with anything?

Idiot xD

Damn, the Wii is catching the shaft from good developers. I haven't even turned mine on since Mario Kart and I don't see anything good on the horizon. Ironically, I was actually hoping Nintendo might have a secret Star Fox game up their sleeve...

See this is the problem with Wii. Casual gamers... You havnt touched anything since MkWii? Mawdworld is one of the highest rated Wii games this year so far and most people say it is a must play. Yet you havent touched it and its all Nitnendos fault? That doesnt sound the least bit odd to you at all? I could understand it last year but this year there is no excuse for any Wii owner not to have played HOTD or Madworld.

Then you claim nothing is coming out. You never heard of Punch Out, Conduit, Muramassa, Overlord, and so on?

Please sell your Wii because you are par of the problem.
You're as bad as the guys that claim no PS3 games exist...

Cuthbert: "The Wii is a bit more of a toy, I think."

All Nintendo did this gen is make a simple toy that even people like Cuthbert aren't willing to develop on. Nintendo has failed, even if they are selling the most systems.
