Nintendo did a direct on Wednesday and we were treated to a lot of goodness. Finally we got an announcement that we are getting a Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask remake for the Nintendo 3DS. We got treated at the new DLC pack for Mario Kart 8 including seeing Link in action and the new Hyrule Circuit. We also got to take a look at how Amiibo will work on games like giving Link am new weapon for Hyrule Warriors and giving your Mii all new costumes for Mario Kart. All of these things look promising. We are going to be in for some good gaming for the Spring of next year. Despite all that Nintendo showed us one question stands: Where is the new Star Fox game?
A while back at E3, Shigeru Miyamoto displayed a demo of what could have been a new Star Fox game. Since then, the game has been slated to appear in 2015, along with other titles. Since the announcement of the new Star Fox game, there has been a ton of excitement from fans and it is for a good reason. It's been a while since we have gotten a Star Fox game. Despite getting a remake of Star Fox 64 on the Nintendo 3DS, we haven't gotten a REAL Star Fox game in eight years with Star Fox: Command for the Nintendo DS in 2006. We are long overhauled for a new Star Fox game. The series is still in demand.
The weird thing is that they have been very hush on the game other than stating that they are working on it. We have seen other trailers and demos for the other games that are coming out for 2015 like Yoshi's Wooly World, Splatoon, and Zelda Wii U. Will they ever show us something other than that test demo that we saw at E3 this year? There are a few possibilities as to why they are keeping things underwraps. The first one is that they are probably going to feature a new mechanic to that will offer something different to the series giving it new life. Whatever they are experimenting on, they would have to be cautious as it won't be something that drifts away from what made us love the series (I'm looking at you Star Fox Adventures...)
It seems like if we are ever going to see something, we will get a chance to at least see a teaser of a new Star Fox game next year around E3. While that seem like it would be the ideal spot to announce something, it will be problematic if they give us something in the Summer of 2015 as it will be hard to build up enough hype to get everyone to buy it in the Holiday 2015 season as the game would seem a bit rushed. Hopefully whatever they are doing with Star Fox Wii U Nintendo, please don't keep us waiting TOO long...
