New F-Zero and Star Fox games for Wii to be released in 2008

http://gonintendo.com/?p=49649

Much has been written about Nintendo's disappointing E3 showing which left out core gamers and focused on games for the new audiences. The interviews with Reggie Fils-Aime and Cammie Dunaway after the media summit didn't help to calm down raging Nintendo fans who were demanding information on new games of their beloved franchises. At least Shigeru Miyamoto confirmed that Pikmin 3 is in the works which suggests that the game is already quite far into development and ready for a 2008 release. But there's more to come a reliable source told us.

An F-Zero developed by the same team that made F-Zero X on the Nintendo 64 is almost done and will be officially announced at the Games Convention in Leipzig next month. The game will support various control setups, feature more than 20 tracks and is supposed to be even faster than previous installments of the franchise. Story mode has been removed, but in return online play has been added which will allow players all around the world to race each other on the challenging courses of the game.

"Do a barrel roll!", who doesn't remember this quote? Star Fox will be back this year, with an all new game that will try to take the series back to its roots. This means no adventure and no on foot missions anymore. The game will feature various routes to reach the final level and imaginative boss battles. Online multiplayer is a first for the series on a home console and will allow up to 16 players to participate in heated dogfights. More information on the game will be revealed at the GC along with an exact release date.

Nintendo is not stoppable in terms of peripherals and will release a pedometer bundled with Wii Walk in the Park later this year. The perfect game for rainy days, at least according to our source. Overall 2008 seems to be a pretty good year to be a Nintendo fan. Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Mario Kart Wii have been released in the first half of the year and with Pikmin 3, F-Zero Wii and Star Fox Wii, we are looking forward to a great holiday season.

What Rol said.

Much as I loved the GC F-Zero, thank god the N64 guys are making this one, I might actually be able to win a few races...

Edit: I think you may have the wrong link there... ;)

Miyamoto’s approach to E3:

I think that there’s probably one other element to it, and that’s that our view of how we use E3 has changed. For a very long time, E3 was an event where — and certainly Nintendo included — catered specifically to the core gamer. Now we look at more … an opportunity for us to introduce new concepts and new types of play that we intend to bring to the broader audience, particularly because of the media that gathers at E3 now.

So while attending an E3 event like this, they might be given the impression that Nintendo is no longer focusing on the games that appeal to the core gamer, in fact we’re still working on many of those titles, but it’s just not the type of event where we’ll be showcasing that anymore.

Hold on, where's this information coming from?

from someone's ass...

I mean, it's kind of funny... But maybe threads like this should just be locked, because you know SOMEONE is going to get fooled...

Nice I was only planning on buying GHWT and maybe pikmin3 for this year

I believe this reeks of flim-flam. FLIM-FLAM my good sir!
