It’s been a long wait for Q.U.B.E: Director’s Cut. Despite having been announced over two years ago, the game still has yet to come to the eShop. We were told a couple of months ago that Q.U.B.E. would be out on Wii U in either April or May, but it looks like that won’t be happening.

Grip Games shared an official update pertaining to Q.U.B.E: Director’s Cut today. While we still don’t have a final release date, the developer says that the title should be out sometime this summer.

According to Q-Games boss Dylan Cuthbert, who worked on the original SNES title, Star Fox Command, and Star Fox 64 for 3DS, a finished version of Star Fox 2 exists.

In an interview with Nintendo Life, Cuthbert mentioned that he was able to play the game during the development of Star Fox Command.

Even after the decision was made we went ahead and completed it, taking it to be fully QA’d through Mario Club. During development [of Star Fox Command] we received a copy of the mastered Star Fox 2 ROM to play, and it was quite a blast.

Cuthbert also noted that ROM images found on the Internet are unfinished prototypes, as they are missing elements that make it complete. Unfortunately, it sounds like we probably won’t ever see what the finished version looks like.

The legal problems regarding the now-defunct Argonaut Software are probably a nightmare. Never say never though! The fully complete Japanese ROM at least does exist.
