And the project is allegedly a real sequel to Starfox vs the upcoming Rare game that had the Starfox theme bolted onto it.

Huh? Why would Namco do a Starfox game?

 

[BrianB]

Why would Sega do a F-Zero game?

The rumour goes that it'll be a joint console/arcade game on the TriForce technology ala F-Zero.

if its a real starfox game I will just scream, first a new Panzer Dragoon and then a new Starfox....damn.

It's going to be a Starfox shooter. The rumor has been going for about a week.

Namco and Nintendo do Starfox? Nintendo and Sega do F-Zero... Sega bring back Tojam and Earl and Panzer Dragoon...... pure orgasmic videogaming joy. No wonder I am into videogames like never before.

Cool news! After experiencing Rogue Leader, I can't wait to see Star Fox on the 'Cube.

I think I'll play the SNES original to celebrate. Maybe I'll actually beat it this time.

 

[JasonK]

Yeah, this is great great news!

I haven't played Starfox 64 in ages...perhaps I'll have to revisit it. I remember buying that one just so I could get the Rumble Pak with it.

This will truly be great!

Before you know it, Nintendo and Square will make Super Mario RPG 2. They just seem to be trying to work with everyone.
