Rumour: Star Fox Zero Facing Development Niggles, Another Delay Could Happen

I hope that Platinum can use this new delay time to just get rid of the gamepad screen altogether and give the graphics a decent boost with the freed up processing capacity.  It made sense 2 years ago to try to make the second screen work back when Nintendo was still trying to justify the gamepad's existance.  At this point, though, I don't think there's any shame in not utilizing the gamepad... we all know what the Wii U's future is at this point and I think a lot of fans would be happy enough to just have a sweet-looking HD Star Fox game. 

Apparently, Platinum only designed some levels, not developed the game.

That doesn't make sense. If it were about saving face, then Miyamoto's good name wouldn't be put on the game. The entire situation is rather a punishment. Basically, it looks like he has to finish at least one of the Gamepad projects (the others, namely Project Robo and Project Guard, won't see the light of the day).

It isn't unlike how Activision sank Silicon Knights, but it's obviously not on the same devastating scale.

If it's punishment, they could just demote him. Letting him continue spending Nintendo's money is a pretty wasteful method of punishment.

His name attached to a vastly dissapointed game will be his true punishment.
