Star Fox Creator Not Interested in Wii Title

Star Fox Creator Not Interested in Wii Title

Q-Games president and creator of three Star Fox games for Nintendo, Dylan Cuthbert, says he's not interested in making another title in the series for the Wii.

"It'd be a big project, like 100 people on the staff," he said in his initial interview with G4. "It's just not something we really want to do." He later cleared this up saying "the comment regarding not wanting to make a Wii Starfox is clear, it would take a very large team and right now I am having a lot of fun with smaller teams. That’s all there is to it really. That’s how I intended the comment not as “Dylan spurns Starfox, shock horror!"

Cuthbert appeared to take a stab at Nintendo great Shigeru Miyamoto when he said in reference to Fox getting out of his ship and walking around in more recent games "I think that's all Miyamoto. Whenever I speak to Miyamoto about Star Fox, he says it's not meant to be just a flying, sci-fi shooting game. It's meant to be anything we want to think up. But the core fans don't want that, but Miyamoto doesn't really care about that. He wants to make what he wants to make, so he just goes ahead and gets it done."

He later rectified this comment stating "[I'd] just like to point out here that I wasn’t having a dig at Miyamoto at all. I was just explaining how he works - he gets on and does his thing. He is an amazing creator and that’s what amazing creators do."

Q-Games and Cuthbert not being involved doesn't mean that the game won't be made. "Maybe they'll go back to Namco," Cuthbert speculates. "Star Fox is an interesting brand. It has a very hardcore audience. People like those furries a little too much." Star Fox Adventures on the GCN was the last title developed by Rare before they moved to Microsoft. Safe to rule them out.
