In the March issue of Game Informer, the American magazine put out every month by Gamestop, an article was run about game franchises that haven’t been seen for a while. The article, titled “Missing in Action?”, mentioned such franchises as Sly Cooper, SSX, and yes, Star Fox! The bit, though short, said that the likelihood of Star Fox’s return was “average”. It says that Miyamoto still likes the franchise, but it has gone through a host of developers. “Perhaps Nintendo is waiting for a studio that can demonstrate they’ve got a winning plan for Fox”. Perhaps? The time between Star Fox 64 and Star Fox Adventures was 5 years, and it hasn’t been that long since Star Fox Command. Maybe there’s hope yet! What do you think?

I added Nysut’s sound effects for Star Fox 64 to the site, giving them their own page.

I also added a few more images to the various galleries.

I have many many more updates to do soon, so please be patient. Lots of content coming.

This is a fan creation, but it’s up there with professional anime in terms of quality. It’s by inubiko, a Japanese animator. Enjoy!

In an interview with Develop, Dylan Cuthbert was asked about his favorite game to he developed. Glad to see the love remains by the original creators.

Of all the games you have been involved with in the past, what has been your favourite, and why?
That would have to be StarFox – the SNES version – it was a rush from beginning to end. Recently, PixelJunk Shooter was a blast to make too. I think each game as I am making it is my favourite.

It looks like Team Wolf wins this time! Although there was a technical difficulties for Team Fox, they lost 5 hours. They may try and bring it back later, but we don’t know.

For now, final score (unless Team Star Fox comes back):
Team Fox: 1670
Team Wolf: 2515
Donations so far: $140 (You can still donate, PLEASE DO!)

Thanks to both teams for their dedication and entertaining performances. Here’s Team Wolf saying goodbye to the camera before shutting down for a long, long rest.

Happy New Year everybody! The marathon mentioned days ago is going on now! You can find the streams, chat, and donation stuff on their page:
http://starfox.gamemarathons.com

I’m going to attempt to create a page that has larger stream sizes, more on that later. For now, go, watch, enjoy, and donate!

(BTW, there’s some cursing going on, just as a warning for those wishing to know.)

In just two days, a grand Star Fox Marathon will take place. This is like the Zelda Marathons of a few months ago, except this time, the players have split themselves into two teams. Each will be competing not only to complete all the Star Fox games, but also to achieve various challenges in those five games (which includes Star Fox themed challenges in the Smash Bros. Series). They have only 36 hours to complete as many as they can.

They are trying to raise at least $2000 for the World Food Programme, so please consider donating during the marathon. The World Food Programme’s goal is to reduce world-wide hunger.

The marathon begins January 1st, 2010, starting at 12 Noon Eastern Standard Time. If the stream is embedable, I will try and post it on here.

An artist who goes by “Posterchild” placed a replica of Andross’ head over a subway entrance TV screen. The result: a glowing face of Andross greeting passers by.

I’m about to make a big change to our gallery system. Expect the gallery to be offline for at least a few hours, if not a couple days (though I honestly don’t expect it to be that long. I will update this post with more info as I get it.

Updates
Nov. 29th, 9:14 PM – Scratch that idea, our server’s backend is down. I can’t start yet.
Nov. 30th, 5:45 PM – Trying again. The Gallery may be broken or missing for a time.
Nov. 30th, 8:00 PM – Done. ZenPhoto is a breath of fresh air in comparison to Gallery 2 administration. I haven’t set up all the options, customized the theme, or added my new images yet, but everything you could find in the old gallery is back online.
