May 06, 2002 - Later this year UK studio Rare and Nintendo will release Star Fox Adventures for GameCube, but this, according to sources, is only the beginning of Fox McCloud's story for Nintendo's next-generation console.
Insiders out of Japan allege that the Namco is currently working jointly with Nintendo on a brand new Star Fox title for GameCube. The new project, underway for a short period already, is said to be a straight 3D shooter "in the traditional style of the series." The title is in development on Nintendo's Triforce arcade hardware, according to sources. No other concrete details about the game are available at this time.
This project marks the second official time Nintendo has recently partnered with a Japanese developer for the joint recreation of one of its franchises on GameCube, the first being the highly anticipated F-Zero GC / AC titles by the firm and Sega. Capcom Entertainment has also recently stated that it is working on a joint project with Nintendo, but would not specify for which system, GameCube or Game Boy Advance.
An official announcement regarding the project is expected later this week.
IGNcube contacted both Nintendo of America and Namco for comments, but neither company returned our phone calls in time for publish.
More soon.
Hmm... Sounds nifty. I wonder if the joint project with Capcom might be new Zelda's on GBA... hmmm.
