To start off with, if you don’t have a subscription to Nintendo Power, you may not have known that every month, for the last nine months, there has been a special page dedicated to a confirmed character in the upcoming Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Each of these pages has a high resolution image of the character and a little of its history. So far, they have done Solid Snake, Mario, Pit, Kirby, Wario, Pikachu, Meta Knight, Link, and this month, Fox McCloud. Here’s the info presented on the page:
FOX McCLOUD
FIRST GAME APPEARANCE:
Star Fox – Super NES (1993)
KNOWN FOR:
Piloting skill, marksmanship, animal magnetism
BIOGRAPHY:
Following in the footsteps of his father James, Fox McCloud is an expert pilot and leader of the Star Fox team. Alongside his team-mates Slippy Toad, Falco Lombardi, and Peppy Hare, Fox earned a reputation as one of the galaxy’s most skilled mercenaries by completing numerous seemingly impossible missions, including thwarting the ambitions of the evil Emperor Andross on several separate occasions. Although Fox’s main claim to fame is his talent in the cockpit of his Arwing fighter, his prowess on foot is equally impressive-as evidenced by his mission onto Dinosaur Planet, where he met his love interest, Krystal. Fox’s speed and aptitude with a laser rifle make him a ferocious fighter.
Want to see it for yourself? Wish granted!
Notice how it doesn’t say anything about Fox’s Assault or Command excursions. Does this mean that Nintendo will be ignoring the story they made after Adventures? Or does it mean that the ending in Command that had the Star Fox team returning to relative normalcy will be considered the canon one? What other possibilities does this suggest? There is only one other character left to review before they will either have to release the game or announce new characters, Samus. That brings us to our next bit of news.
The Game Developer’s Conference for 2007 will be going on all next week (March 5 – 9). Shigeru Miyamoto will be the keynote speaker and it is expected that he (and others) will make announcements about Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Super Mario Galaxy. I’d say it’s fairly reasonable to expect one or two more Brawl characters to be revealed and perhaps some information on Star Fox Wii during off-stage interviews.
Starfox-online.net used to be hosted at starfox-online.com. When the site went temporarily under a few months ago, we lost the rights to the original name. Fortunately, we may be able to obtain the name once more in the near future. DZComposer is keeping an eye on it for us.
*UPDATE* Tucows renewed the domain. Stupid domain parking…..
Finally, our members have been noticing unusual amounts of lag in the forums and site. It has gotten particularly bad in the last couple of days. It took me quite a long time just to post this news article. As such, we will be contacting our host this weekend to find out if there’s anything we can do to fix the problem. Stay tuned.

Hello. I am a great Star Fox Fan! My favorite characters are: EVERYONE!!!
Even Fox McCloud…he is soooo cute. Especially when he’s even cuter with Krystal…[Sigh] soooo Out-of-This-World romantic.
Hey, here’s this poem from my little sister and I:
“Solar is Red,
Aquas is blue.
I look at the stars,
and I see you.”
If you think it’s good, E-Mail me, please. Thank you.
Man I realy can’t tank this site enof for all it did for me.
PS.Do any of you guys out there know if they confirmed all SSBB caracters
Wow Fox looks way better than the SSBM. I hope Falco and another person from StarFox are in SSB: Brawl
Thx StarFox-Online for the infom, u guys rock!
Ooh… Mr. Krystal liked to a thread in the staff forum… *fixes*
:p
Notes you should KNOW:
1) Brawl isn’t a good source to tell the scope of canon of a Nintendo franchise.
2) NP makes mistakes… ALWAYS.
nice site
I think Fox and Micheal Jackson are related. THEY BOTH CHANGED INTO COMPLETE FREAKS… They need to put Fox back into his sf adventure apearance now that was cool. He had the little wrist locator, the gun holster, the cool metal ankle shakle thingys, the good facial apearance, amazing graphics, neat jumpsuit and vest. Now all they would have to do is throw a few weapons on him put on his headset then he would be cooler than ever and ready to be in a game. But no they want to squash his face up so it’s a rectangle, put a crappy expression on his face, move his ears around and kill his awsome graphics. I dont know why they would do this to my poor Fox. Sob sob…
Don’t Worry, Be Happy! =)
