E3 2015: Nintendo Considered Monolith Soft to Develop Star Fox Zero
During an interview with IGN, Star Fox Zero Producer Shigeru Miyamoto told us Nintendo was considering Xenoblade Chronicles developer Monolith Soft to develop the new Star Fox.
“We didn’t really look around at that many different places,” Miyamoto explained. “Our first instinct was to try and find an appropriate team within Nintendo. One place we kind of considered was Monolith Soft.”
“But it kind of came down to to there wasn't really a place we wanted to work with other than Platinum just because they are so committed to creating exciting visuals. We kind of really wanted to improve the visual quality of the game,” he said. The developer added Nintendo felt comfortable trusting Platinum with an intellectual property largely because of its understanding of action games and the team is a stable of Nintendo fans.
