Calling Q-Games the Star Fox creator (if that's what you're doing, I'm not sure) is completely erroneous. Here are the five Starfox games, and who developed them:
Star Fox (SNES) - Nintendo EAD
Star Fox 64 - Nintendo EAD
Star Fox Adventures (GC) - Rare
Star Fox: Assault (GC) - Namco
Star Fox Command (DS) - Q-Games
Nintendo created the original two, which were the only consistently great games in the series. Rare made an interesting entry in the series, although one that doesn't really retain much of the feel of the original games; Namco's GC title has some good ideas but is overall pretty disappointing for series fans (unless I'm mistaken); I don't own the DS game so I can't rate it, but that's only 1 game out of 5, and only a portable iteration of the series.
I want EAD to take over the series again and bring us something as impressive and polished as Star Fox 64; having Q-Games pass on the Wii can only give me a little more hope that this might one day occur.
EDIT: D. Cuthbert has worked on 3 Star Fox games, since he was previously with Argonaut, who helped to program the first game and the second (never released). However, as I understand it (and Wikipedia confirms this), Argonaut had much more to do with programming (and the new 3D chip) than game design, as the main designers for the first game were Miyamoto and Katsuya Eguchi.
Wikipedia also says "Yoichi Yamada, a level designer for many Nintendo games, laid out and edited the Star Fox maps with a great attention to detail."
