This information comes from Shigeru Miyamoto…

On Star Fox 2 possibly releasing…

“I think it’s ok for Star Fox 2 to just remain a memory. I think the things I wanted to achieve in Star Fox 2 I’m doing in this game.”

On Star Fox Zero’s Wii origins…

“I work very closely with the programmer of Star Fox 64. Basically, every time we get new hardware, we do a Star Fox prototype. This Star Fox started out being based on a prototype we created for the Wii. We took that prototype and thought about what we could do with it. We came back and just said that this should be a Star Fox game.”

This information comes from Nintendo of America’s latest press release…

Two versions of the franchise’s new installment offer players an unprecedented choice: fight an opposing force or join the other side and try to make changes from within. For the first time in the series, players take on the role of the main character and command an army, while struggling to decide which path to follow: helping blood relatives or the family that raised him or her. The game is scheduled to launch in 2016.

This information about Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem (otherwise known as Genei Ibun Roku #FE) comes from the fact sheet we posted earlier today…

– Struggle between “the worlds of glamour and darkness”
– Play as “Mirage Masters,” who have big dreams of becoming great entertainers
– They polish their singing and acting skills in the entertainment business in their daily lives, working their way up in the world as artists
– “Mirages” are beings of immeasurable power that come from another dimension
– They’ve begun to invade the world, and some of them are evil, while others are drawn to humans with tremendous creative potential, and have shared their powers with them to safeguard humanity

On how it doesn’t take place before other games in the series…

“It’s definitely not a prequel. In some ways I think more of it as being a remake of the first one or we’re starting from ‘1’ again, but obviously with that as a base trying to think, ‘now with these two different screens and new play system and different vehicles, what are the new things we can add to that?’”

– Zero name chosen in part because they “liked how it sounded”
– The Kanji character for Zero is written into the game’s logo in a way to resemble the tail of a fox

– Co-developed between Nintendo and Platinum Games
– Art is being done at Platinum’s Osaka office
– Design is being done in Nintendo’s offices in Kyoto, where some of the Platinum guys have taken temporary root
– Nintendo’s director on the project is Yugo Hayashi (level design on The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess and then directed Wii Fit U)
