Maybe the real reason it's taken Retro 4 years for this is because they couldn't decide if they wanted to make a Diddy Kong Racing game, an F-Zero game, or a Star Fox game. So they combined them all lmao.

To be fair if this is real, Mario+Rabbids sounded atrocious when first leaked and that turned out to be good. This still sounds like a better idea than that did.

The problem is Star Fox has had an inconsistent pass with leaks. I remember people were hammering on the rumor of a Star Fox and Metroid crossover, which turned out to be false. I get that other websites supposedly have heard similar things, but the official rumor leak we got was a piece of paper with a logo. It's one of those wait and see sort of leaks.

On paper this can have a lot of potential. If true I'm happy Retro is doing something completly different and original compared to what most AAA studios are focused on right now. Variety is good.

edit. I would also add a futuristic racer theme seems to match up with Alex Brandon being hired as a composer.

You know what, Im really warming to this idea.When I first heard this, I thought it would be more focused on its racing aspect.But if its evenly split betwenn fighting and racing, or even if it favors more the fighting, this could be amazing!

And the fact that Retro is taking too long to make this game also makes alot of sense.I mean, Retro wouldnt make a half baked game, even for something this wild, so they must be going all in on this, and since its a somewhat new idea, I think they would need all this time.

We all know what we all really want is Star Fox Adventures 2

Kotaku are reporting that Retro were working on another game that had a troubled development which may have been cancelled; Game Informer are reporting that it's Star Fox that's had the troubled development; IGN are reporting SF: Grand Prix has a 2019 release date.

Odds are this is real - I'd like it as a 2018 release, but the 2019 release makes sense in light of the Kotaku/Game Informer suggestions. If another project was cancelled, or this game has had a troubled development, it makes sense that it won't be ready this year.

Oh wow oh wow

Imagine the meltdowns from the poeple who wanted them to make a Mature game with realistic graphics that is different from the stuff Nintendo usually makes.

Edit: @curl-6 will hate this.

Nintendo needs to hire you quick!

Really? Do you remember Star Fox Adventures?
