If it is true, I am willing to be open minded about it. I think a lot of people are expecting this to be a Mario Kart clone with Star Fox skins, but the description by Stealth on Twitter seems to indicate it has more depth particularly in single player mode. If this game is indeed in development and it plays like Stealth describes it then I am down for it.
Mind you I am of the mind that Star Fox is a franchise with a lot of potential constrained by its genre. Its mainline gameplay has not been innovated on much since Star Fox 64. Thus, having the franchise done in a more relevant and accessible genre could keep it relevant if/until Nintendo focuses on the main genre of the game again. In many ways Retro Studios is doing something similar to what they did with Metroid Prime (taking a 2D Metroidvenia platformer and translating it into a 3D FPS with some of the key elements of the 2D games) and it is in line with what Rare did with Star Fox Adventures, Donkey Kong Country, Diddy Kong Racing, and DK64.
