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. |
Imagine if they did a Star Fox in the vein of Mass Effect only with more space battles. Now that would be awesome.

The way Miyamoto described his vision for Star Fox being sort of a video game space opera I think would work very well with the Mass Effect type ARPG. In fact, after playing Xenoblade Chronicles X, part of me wanted Nintendo to give Star Fox to Monolith Soft so that they could turn it into an ARPG like space opera with space battle elements.
