The collaboration between Nintendo and Ubisoft in Starlink: Battle for Atlas goes beyond Star Fox appearing in the game. Nintendo has been very involved in the entire process and even contributed to the Fox McCloud toy. Producer Matt Rose has revealed that it was the Big N who came up with the pose for the toy.

Rose mentioned the following about working with Nintendo on Starlink:

It’s been a wonderful collaboration and we’re in touch with them all the time – a daily basis. It’s much less in the context of us sending them stuff and they review it and are our gatekeepers. It’s been much more of an active collaboration than even I expected. It’s really open back and forth. They’ll send us ideas or suggestions, we’ll send them things we’re thinking about and sometimes we’re directly working on it together.

As an example, the pose of Fox McCloud on the toy is something that Nintendo actually came up with. We had gone back and forth on different sketches and poses and they told us they had the perfect pose that matched his personality. They sent us back the sketch, and yeah. It’s been really, really great.
