    Solution: don't hijack other games and shoehorn franchise characters into them. You'd probably have a lot of success with just this step alone. It's a bad way to build a game, and it's a bad way to reward third parties for their creativity. #starfox

    @ThaJinx: I was especially insulted by Star Fox Adventure, not because it messed up a Star Fox game but because...Look, I can't express in normal human language how much I desire an RPG/Adventure game focusing on dinosaurs with fantasy elements. It is something that rings in my very bones. Ruining Dinosaur Planet is a crime I will never forgive. #starfox

    I am right. There. With you. I've never met anyone who was as absolutely excited about Dinosaur Planet as myself, nor anyone as singularly disappointed that we'll never be able to play it. Until now. DP was exactly what I was referring to above. Like you said, unforgivable. <3'd

    *sigh* Yet more evidence Miyamoto is slowly succumbing to the insanity of old age.

    He thinks the latest 2 StarFox games were... more fun? Awww. #starfox

    The gameplay for Star Fox 64 was fun, but I have always found the characters unappealing.

    And that was even before the Furries were going gaga over blue fox nipples. #starfox

    @UltimatePancakeSensation: I agree fully that the series needs a boot in the ass; it took some steps in the right direction with the 'darker' Falco and conflicting relationships within the crew with Adventures, but the handling of it was haphazard at best. They need a blockbuster script to make it something worthwhile. #starfox

    Maybe the reason Star Fox is declining in popularity is because of the furtastic adventures of Fox and the Gang in Star Fox Adventures. If you release an actually good Star Fox game, ala the one on N64, people might like the series again. Maybe, just maybe? #starfox

    Yeah, Nintendo is to blame for the drop in the Star Fox series stock. Miyamoto should know this.

    Of course I am starting to think Miyamoto is not half the developer he used to be. Unless getting fat women on pieces of plastic is your thing, of course. #starfox

    @NeVeRMoRe666: I would never say I hold it against Nintendo for making money off people that usually don't buy videogames. I do question if they have made long term gamers. I highly doubt they have.

    Miyamoto's marketing sense is great. His creativity on the other hand...

    I just don't think he is capable of making something new that gets me excited.

    I would love to be wrong on this. #starfox

    A new Star Fox, F-Zero, and Earthbound. These are the things that the Wii needs.

    By Star Fox, I mean classic Star Fox. There's already plenty of games filled with crappy ground-based combat out there.

    I don't think Star Fox 64 even broke the 4 million mark and given the poor sales of the last three (Command wasn't that bad tho), I can wager he might have a hard time getting his boss to okey putting any of the EAD teams to work on it, given that EAD #3 is Eiji's Zelda Team, EAD #2 is the Wii Sports/Music/Play Team, EAD Group Tokyo is working on Galaxy 2, EAD #4 just finished up with NSB-Wii and likely has to turn it's attention to Pikmin 3 afterwards and EAD #1 has never done a shooter.

    They could pass it to HAL or Intellegent Systems. Or even NST. #starfox

    @Foxstar is in love with Kotaku's two Brians.: NO. They need to develop it in-house. All the Star Fox games after 64 were developed by 2nd or 3rd parties, and they were all inferior. I guess they'll just have to do it after Pikmin 3 or something. What the hell is taking them so long anyways? How can it take so long to develop a game on what is essentially 8-year-old hardware? Man, I'm frustrated with Ninty, they just don't seem to try as hard as they used to. #starfox

    this is bullshit. Nintendo hasn't made a proper Starfox in a dog's age. it's not fair to claim that the fans are losing interest in a series of games that aren't there. the last few starfox games have been garbage and we are STILL waiting for a sequel to Starfox 64. #starfox

    @laser beams: so... you think they purposefully tried to make games that people wouldn't like? mmhmm.

    compared to the previous entries, the Metroid Prime games are not "proper" Metroid - but they turned out amazing.

    my point is this: they've tried different things and it let a lot of people down. but they ARE trying.

    if they just released the same thing they'd be getting shredded for not evolving or whatever... (see: Dynasty Warriors).

    I hear what you're saying.... but please, it's not "bullshit" - he has no reason to lie to about his passion for StarFox =P #starfox

    @Lozmaster: i never said Nintendo made those games- i'm saying that because they didn't bother to continue the series on their own and instead licensed development out to second-tier studios, they ended up publishing a few terrible games that few people bought or enjoyed. i want Nintendo EAD to make a proper sequel. if they update the winning formula they already have, the game will be a huge hit. #starfox

    @Crash__Man: as discussed above: Nintendo didn't make those games- they took the easy way out and licensed the development of those StarFox games to other studios, all Nintendo did was publish them.
    the Metroid Prime games are pretty decent- and they were very popular (in western markets, at least). due to the success of those games, Nintendo probably thought that they could get the same results with another one of their IPs. but Metroid Prime isn't really an example of Nintendo trying their hardest, either- they merely brought in a new studio and published what came out of it- they only risked the cost of development (and the reputation of the series). for metroid it paid off. For Starfox... not so much.
    Unfortunately, all 3 of those starfox efforts have been disappointing: the fans generally don't like them, they didn't see great sales, and they received mixed reviews by critics.
    Nintendo hasn't really made an effort to rebuild the franchise up, so yeah- i think it's bullshit to say that fans just don't have an interest in the series. the fans lost interest in the series after getting hosed with bad games instead of the game that they really wanted. i don't doubt his passion for Starfox- but how about he personally oversee a new game in the series instead of just watching bad ones come out and then wondering why the fans aren't there anymore? #starfox
