This information comes from Disney vice president of production John Vignocchi…

“Don’t count on it. It would cannibalize the Infinity business, good for everyone except Infinity.”

“Infinity is truer to the filmmakers’ vision (at least in the playsets), the licensees don’t want franchises mixing together, which is the whole point of LEGO Dimensions (and the toy box mode in Disney Infinity).”

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.”
