I said might.

This was an attempt to create a new Star Fox game for a new system and after a long dev cycle, 130+ people working on the game and a short delay, the game simply isn't selling well enough for Nintendo to see this as profitable for them.

It was a decade since the last new entry in the series and so I fear that after this attempt they may not decide to create a new entry for a long time.

Fair enough, they have all the rights to doesn't like the controls, but stagnate the franchise with the same controls for more than 20 years it would do no good either, many things that were introduced in this game wouldn't be possible with traditional controls. The game would be a simple SF64 with pretty graphics.

And about this: "2.  The game can't technically be said it's true to its origins as you describe it, since the original game didn't have the ship transforming into a walking biped.  That came in a later sequel.  (I don't really care about this point, but since you're being so anal, I will, too.)"

Well, what I was saying is that SFZ isn't a zelda rippoff like Adventures. The Walker wouldn't erase what they did in this game. SFZ is a true quality star fox game.

I have to assume that it was stupid my accusations towards you. I'm sorry for this.

Well it was also on Nintendo's worst selling system of all time, which is already on its last legs, so... that's another major factor.

That didn't stop Splatoon, a new IP that no one thought would have any impact, selling over 4 million units and becoming an absolute hit game for the company. 

Nor did it stop remakes of The Legend of Zelda selling millions of units. 

First Party software sales of other games have proved that there is demand for Nintendo software on the system and games like Mario Kart 8 have sold over 7 million units on an install base of under 13 million. In other words, these games are achieving very high attach rates. 

But Splatoon had a huge marketing campaign and Mario Kart and Zelda are Nintendo's major IPs

You're not exactly disproving anything though. The original point used Wii U's install base as a reason as to why the game didn't sell but it's not really a valid reason when nearly 15 first party Nintendo titles on Wii U have sold over 1 million units. 

The fact is that this game had 2 years + worth of development time, external support from Platinum, R&D regarding Wii U Gamepad, over 130 people working on the game, additional localisation needed + all the other costs and overheads that are associated with Video Game development and so when you work out the estimated costs + factor in marketing (what there was of it) then it's clear that 500k won't cut it. 

What were all the 130 people working on for two years? Starfox Zero looks like an indie title.

It may go dormant again for awhile, but the end of it? I don't think so. They'll probably give it another shot at some point in time.

Yeah, like toward the end of the NX's cycle or so.  Although I think that may depend on the sales of the NX more than SFZ.

They should re-release it for the NX, it might find new legs then, the game interests me, I just don't wish to buy into a platform that is being phased out. - And nor do I like the controller.
