For snes, we got both games, for n64 we got both games, for gamecube we got both games, even for ds we got starfox. Its been 2 1/2 years now, and no news on starfox or f zero for wii, what is going on? What is happening to my favorite first party franchises? I can just picture myself shooting with the wiimote in starfox as i guide the ship with the nunchuck, and i can also picture myself playing f zero online against tons of people. Is nintendo ever going to announce this 2 great games?

My theory is that the efforts for those great games (wave race, 1080, pilotwings included) have been (questionably) directed into WiiSports titles and WiiFits titles and etc... We'll be waiting forever at this rate...

Yea come on Nintendo get those great games released. As a thank you to all the very patient real gamers out here who continue to buy your products would do! But seriously hte big N have enough money to develop whatever they like, be it wii sports 9 and/or F-Zero Wii. Have Nintendo still got a special connection to its fans as they have to Nintendo? time will tell i suppose. I can't help thinking deep down that in the long run they gotta respect the fanboys or it'll bit'em in the arse!

Sin and Punishment 2 is the same genre as Star Fox Wii, so there you go.

Its all about pacing, we'll probably see Starfox and F Zero in the upcoming years.

Yeah they have to save some franchises for later on, if they release them all in one year they don't have anything left.

Well the fact that Wii isn't suddenly going to disappear at the end of the year must be some kind of mystery since people keep asking about this. GX came almost 2 years after GC, Assault came out like 4 years after GC released. Nintendo's not going to release every franchise early on and be left with nothing in the Wii's second half, so enough of these topics please. 3 years from now when the Wii has probably come and gone if that hasn't been a Star Fox or F Zero make all the topics you want, until then, give it a break and give it a chance to be announced.

but i'm certain another zelda and mario galaxy 2 are gonna arrive first? that can't be about pacing? surely F-Zero Wii or PilotWiings(even just made up a cool name for 'em too) would have slotted in nicely for an E3 annoucement.

nintendo makes games for everyone, star fox and f zero don't appeal to completely everyone as much as zelda, mario can

there are only certain core IPs that sell well made by ninty, in fire emblems case it sold horriblly on wii

metroid prime 3 sold well, now we get a metroid remake and a new metroid for wii

no new fire emblem, maybe SF Assault or SF command sold badly, so nintendo feels no need to make new ones.

also why make f ZERO when Kart still sells well, i mean nintendo has a console to sell here, they can't always be making games knowing ahead of time they will sell 300k

nintendo is busying reviving even more ignored IPs like Punch Out and Sin and Punishment 2 and Wario Land, with new IPs like Dynamic Zan, Span Smasher, Monando, Disaster, Cosmic Walker, Endless Ocean

but since NA never got disaster i would've scrapped that for a Star Fox

also Nintendo is apparently still making Kirby for Wii

Thats does not make sense. Double dash and f zero were about 1 year apart, and gamecubes starfox adventures was a success, assault came too little too late. If these games were to be announced they would sell like mcdonalds, these are games that fans are waiting for, but are being overshadowed by zelda and mario. F zero would appeal more to the core, because of its high speed races, and frustrating controlls. And star fox would also sell realy good. Nintendo loves money right? Well then, when we have to buy a new wiimote every week because we slam it against the wall because of f zero's frustration, are they realy going to lose money? No.

These are the exact two games I've been waiting for forever. Both are just such a perfect fit for the Wii and it's controller. If each came with sick graphics, marvelous control schemes using both the Wiimote and nunchuk, and killer online components....we have serious gaming gems. W...t...f Nintendo. Make us happy!

Well as of now they are busy. They are making SMG2,a whole bunch of DS games,Metroid other M,Zelda Wii and Pikmin 3. I would love those on the Wii but sadly I don't think they will revive F-Zero. The creator of Star Fox said he didn't want to make a Star Fox Wii either.

Well if you think about it Nintendo has released a slew of its major titles already so they probobly want to keep tiotles for later on in the gen do they can promote them at e3 and thelikes without being accused of not bringing anything new to the table.

Sin and Punishment 2 will have to quench my thirst for a new Star Fox and F-Zero GX is enough for me.

That wasnt the creator,just aguy who worked Starfox Command....and he was apart of making Starfox:64....The creator is nintendo -_-....motoman.

I think a furry fox,toad,donkey,and a bird appeals more than Zelda and Gandorrf......But after this new zelda game and mario game gets release hopefully they take a break from those IP's.

Starfox died to me after 64, so hopefully they can revive it, if they're going to make another one like Starfox Command they should at least put more thought into it. But an F-Zero game on the Wii would be so absolutely awesome! Mario Kart's awesome too but it just isn't fast enough...
