Q-Games founder Dylan Cuthbert spoke about the development of Star Fox during the GDC 2013 Indie Games Summit. Among other things, Cuthbert said that he believed Miyamoto’s original involvement was “removing what was cool” about his original concept.

Initially, the staff hoped to “to make a full 3D shooting game inspired by Starglider 2.” But Miyamoto eventually took charge, telling the team that “It’s going to be on rails, and it’s going to be fun and playable and a Nintendo game.”

You can find even more development quotes from Cuthbert after the break.

Renegade Kid has finally unleashed a few details about Treasurenauts, which was first uncovered through a trademark filing.

Studio co-founder Jools Watsham confirmed to Operation Rainfall that Treasurenauts will be a 2D game. Additionally, it’s being made on the same engine powering Mutant Mudds.

Treasurenauts is only for the 3DS eShop at the moment. But Watsham did say that a Wii U version is a possibility.

“It’s going to be for the 3DS, potentially for the Wii U, and from what I can say right now is that it’s 2D, and it’s using Mudd‘s engine.”

A new patch is now available for ZombiU. Ubisoft hasn’t prepared any update notes, so we’re unclear what it does at present. It should take care of some glitches/issues at the very least.

So if anyone were to make Fez happen on a Nintendo system, Nicalis would likely be the go-to company. There is one significant barrier, however: studio head Tyrone Rodriguez doesn’t appear to be too interested in the possibility.

When it was suggested that Nicalis get in touch with creator Phil Fish and Nintendo’s Dan Adelman, Rodriguez instead said that he would “much rather work on Monaco or Spelunky for a Nintendo console.”

Rodriguez tweeted:
