I can't see why Platinum would be better qualified than any other frankly. What game have they made that is similar to star fox? Nintendo fans only like 'em now because they have 2 Wii U games coming up.

Madworld was amazing. I am huge fan of Bayonetta on the 360. Metal Gear Rising Revengeance was contained insaneity and maddness mixed in with cocain.

That's why we want them. Because they making exciting and fun games. 

But the question is if they can make a star fox game, and I havent seen any evidence to support that. Like some one else said before me I think theyre better off making Kid Icarus or Metroid. Under Nintendo supervision.

NO, new ip please.

While I think Platinum Games would do a good job on Star Fox, it dosen't seem logical in my opinion.

Why would Nintendo allow a third party developer to work on a first party game? Nintendo will probably be able to make a Star Fox game cheaper and faster with the experts who've made all the previous games.

Not to mention Platinum Games can make their own game with a similar style to Star Fox, yet it can be a different IP; which I feel would accomplish the same goal, and that IP would belong to Platinum Games, not Nintendo.

Lol funny how people judge Starfox by game length Starfox had *replay value* people! You can take different routes, see alternative endings, meet various supporting characters, play on higher difficulty, etc. Super Mario Bros. 3 can be finished in 3 hours as well!

I'd love to see a new Starfox! Just give it great local multiplayer and some (co-op) mission modes and I'm in.

Starfox had like three different routes you could take and the alternative endings were virtually the same ending!  And it doens't even have a difficulty select option!  The difficulty depended on which route through the planets you took! 

Don't get me wrong.  I loved Starfox and its sequels and  I still do.  For the most part, Starfox was Thunder Force, Gradius, etc. with a behind the ship perspective instead of side scrolling.  After the endings, the only incentive to replay was going for high scores.

Namco and Sega worked on first party games..... Remember Starfox Assault or F-Zero GX?  Capcom even made several portable Zelda games, including the amazing Minish Cap.

Just saying.

Yeah but it's a highscore game by nature. That doesn't make it obsolete. And Starfox 64 had many different routes - part of the fun was to play through the game in new ways (like going from blue to read, back to yellow, finding secret warp zones, earning medals, beating Starwolf - or not and watch them come for you later, etc.) Oh and there was a hard mode in the game. 

I see where you are coming from. But I think they can work around this: Give it more levels, different endings, different airwing models, a mission mode, co-op stuff, local and online multiplayer, online leader boards,... there's lots of ways to enhance the content I think.

Ahh I see, I wasn't aware of those titles. I suppose there is a possibility Platinum Games could do it.
