The last Star Fox game, Platinum's Wii U entry Star Fox Zero, was something of a disappointment. Retro followed this with the well-received if not revolutionary Donkey Kong Country Returns and Tropical Freeze side-scrolling platformers for Wii and Wii U.įor years, fans have wanted the studio to work on a project or franchise with which it can leave a similar mark as it did with the original Prime - so the news Retro has been busy building a spin-off to Star Fox may surprise many. The secretive Austin, Texas-based developer was catapulted to fame when it developed the excellent Metroid Prime trilogy for GameCube and Wii. Nintendo fans have been acutely interested in the goings-on at Retro Studios. Again, I've not heard that name specifically, but the rest of the details line up. Shortly after the reddit post went live, a logo for Star Fox Grand Prix separately appeared on 4chan, that home of reliable video game leaks. The Star Fox series is traditionally a space (and sometimes land) based vehicle shooter, although it has dabbled in various other genres before.
While I hadn't heard the name - and don't know if that is accurate or final - other details line up with what I have heard. "It will have an adventure mode of some kind (think Diddy Kong Racing) and there will be some boss fights and a hub world like it too. So, what do we believe? Well, as improbable as Retro making a Star Fox racing spin-off may sound, Eurogamer sources have heard similar.ĭetails posted to reddit by user DasVergeben, who has a patchy record, touted Retro's Star Fox project as a racing game "like Diddy Kong Racing mixed with F-Zero". The leaks appeared online over the weekend on reddit and 4chan, and were then reported this morning on multiple gaming sites and blogs.
A round of internet leaks has suggested Nintendo's Retro Studios - developer of the Metroid Prime trilogy - is working on a Star Fox racing spin-off.
