it would depending on what design choices they make. Has Platinum ever made a game like Star Fox? dont think they have, so right their they are going in cold with no experience in that genre, now im not saying they cant emulate it, but if it isnt the Star Fox that people are used to then it wont sell well. Most Star Fox fans wont buy a game that is just Star Fox in name alone. No Other M sold after it hit the bargain bin. Not saying people saw the word Team Ninja and said screw it, but it wasnt the game they wanted so they didnt buy it or waited till it got cheap

Bayonetta and Wonderful 101 both have Starfox-esque segments. Many Nintendo fans have expressed great excitement at the prospect of a Platinum Starfox.
