Yoshikazu Yamashita, the director for NintendoLand, told Japanese gaming magazine Famitsu that the Metroid Blast attraction was originally intended to be a Star Fox attraction, but the design ended up not properly fitting the series:
"There was a time when Metroid Blast was going to be a Star Fox title, but the prototype featured this vehicle that hovered around like a helicopter and we figured that'd never be a good match for an Arwing."
The article also mentions that the Donkey Kong Crash Course attraction was originally going to be either ExciteBike or 1080 Snowboarding.
It's a shame that Star Fox missed-out on NintendoLand, but at least it was seriously considered, so there is some tiny consolation there.
