Forums - Nintendo - So do you remember Star Fox 2???

This came from a Interview with Dylan Cuthbert, (founder of Q Games, he worked at Nintendo and seems like he married Miyamoto's daugther) Yep Miyamoto himself pulled the trigger in a finished game:

Miyamoto doesn't have any qualms about canceling games, something Cuthbert found out firsthand after the Nintendo designer canned the sequel to Star Fox. The first Star Fox game was a smash hit, and the sequel seemed poised to be a big hit, too. But with the upcoming N64 console on the horizon and rival Sony releasing the PlayStation 1, Miyamoto decided to cancel the finished game.

"The thinking was that if Nintendo released another 3D game on the Super Nintendo," said Cuthbert, "then it would be compared with the PlayStation 1, and the quality was completely different." Miyamoto came and told the team that the completed game would not be released. "Star Fox 2 was disappointing but I could understand the reasoning—the PlayStation and Saturn had come out and were obviously superior to the SuperFX chip," said Cuthbert. "Considering the rivalry between Sony and Nintendo I could see exactly where they were coming from." The two consoles would have been unfairly compared.

Se yes, at some dark place in Nintendo building/ warehouse/bunker or whatever they use there's a brand new SNES game that was never released

I loved the first game, and still hope that the true sequel gets released. It's been available via dodgy means for a few years now, though.

Is that a sequel to Star Fox 64, aka the best ship shooter evah?



So, are you guys going to setup a fund to hire someone to sneak into Nintendo warehouses to extract the said game?

Not really.  Starfox (Starwing in Europe) was released for the SNES.  Nintendo planned and actually made a sequel, which is mentioned in the op, but was cancelled just before release.  Star Fox 64 (Lylat Wars in Europe) is a remake (I think, but I'm not sure) of the SNES original, but contains many of the new features that Starfox 2 was going to introduce such as Starwolf.

 

I'm still hoping Nintendo add it as a unlockable bonus one day in a Starfox game.

I played both... StarFox SNES and (the best) StarFox 64... it was planned as a remake but used many features planned to StarFox 2 which ended up being a totally different (and better) game.

I can't say it a remake because even the levels are differents.

I really want a new StarFox for Wii/Wii 2.
