Miyamoto Likes Star Fox

It has been a while since there last was a Starfox game, and there doesn't seem to be any signs of another game anytime soon (well one by Nintendo anyway). Recently Shigeru Miyamoto talked with MTV Multiplayer about why that is.

Historically speaking, Starfox games do not make as much money as other Nintendo IPs. Now it is unfortunate that Starfox has such stiff competition, with the likes of games such as Mario games, Wii Fits and Wii Plays, and other games that make money hand-over-fist. Starfox games make money, just not piles of it.

Miyamoto spoke of this, and mentioned how less people are buying the Starfox games over the years. "At least in Japan, the people that purchase the 'Star Fox' games has decreased over the years." Despite this being true, Miyamoto seemed to have faith that eventually there would be a new Starfox game. "But we still try to make them more fun and hopefully people will see the appeal in those games."

Perhaps for those fans who are looking for any sign of hope of a return from Starfox, know that Miyamoto, a high ranking Nintendo official, likes these games. "I'm a big fan of the 'Star Fox' games. Every time we make a 'Star Fox' game I'm hoping people will enjoy it as much as I do."

So hopefully Miyamoto's sway will expedite our wait for a new Starfox game.

Would you like a new Starfox game? If so, would you like the 3rd person action adventure game like Star Fox Adventures, or a return to its original form, like Starfox 64?
