Remove Star Fox 64; There are no other universally loved Star Fox games. I understand why they're remaking it. They could have just ignored every other Star Fox and just made a direct sequel to Star Fox 64, but that would alienate people who never played the first one. Considering Fox was in the Mario movie, They are using that as a strike when the flame is hot type move; "Lets reintroduce Star Fox to a whole new crowd with the only game we know everybody likes"

I don't think this is true. Star fox lore isn't that dense and they can also just reboot it with an entirely original game without references to 64.

I'm with Angrypoolman in that they could of easily just made an original starfox game although this is a fair bit cheaper to do and easier to outsource. 

I think the remake in the case of Star Fox was a bit of a test. Testing the developer to see what they could do and testing the market to see if there are interest in the IP. Both seems to have succeeded. Im sure a brand new game in the franchise is in development. It might even have been for a while.
