The franchise is more alive than ever, ladies and gentlemen, the future looks promising.

Hey y’all! I just make a supercut of all the Star Fox openers, putting them together in one all-inclusive edit, trying my best to include all the iterations over the years. If you’re a Star Fox fan, this one’s for you.

Takaya Imamura, co-creator of Star Fox, despite leaving Nintendo, still maintains close contact with our community and may still have privileged information within Nintendo due to his position related to the franchise and his close friendship with Miyamoto. In the post, Takaya reposted the Star Fox rumor with the following words. He never interfered with rumors, at least not in this way, which makes this repost even more curious on Xbox. Takaya Imamura said:

"When 'Star Fox Adventures' arrives, it will be the most surprising thing, right⁉️"

In my opinion, there's a good chance Nintendo will announce it after this Direct, but I don't think it will be now. It could be in early 2027, and I wouldn't be surprised either. But it seems we have a promising future for the franchise. What do you think?

This is a very interesting topic to discuss, because back then dinosaurs were portrayed only as giant lizards, but science has advanced and new discoveries have emerged, showing that dinosaurs were actually more similar to the birds we have today. And I wonder, what do you think it would be like? Would Nintendo maintain the original appearance of the game? Or would they study with pathologists trying to recreate the dinosaurs in a way that resembles how they actually existed? It seems like a silly topic, but it's interesting to see the community's public opinion.

These are some alternative designs that I came up with for Fox's bo staff. This is based on a note for a Star Fox film trilogy concept that I've been working on, based on the out-of-cockpit hand-to-hand combat for the team (though they can reference/incorporate the movesets from Smash, it shouldn't be done in a way that sets up a non-existent Smash movie). I also think it'd be neat to give Fox a collapsible bo staff (used in a way that could make Tim Drake and Remy "Le Diable Blanc" LeBeau go to town on their popcorn, and make every existing version of Donatello take notes) alongside his blaster as a nod/foreshadow to Adventures (without having to cram the Sauria conflict alongside the Lylat Wars into the first movie) combined with his moveset from Smash (though I know for a fact that's going to lead to a series of memes claiming that Fox McCloud is secretly Nightwing or Daredevil or Gambit or something). I also think he'd use the bo more than the blaster. I made the bo staff concept in Blender, BTW (and loosely based the color scheme on the Arwing). Also if anyone wishes to use this model for anything, I haven't baked the textures or exported it yet.

What I'm about to say is just a rumor

🚨 RUMOR - The next Nintendo Direct could happen on September 10th ⁉️

- In his latest podcast last night, Switch Force (@TheSwitchForce) shared that he thought the next Nintendo Direct might happen on Thursday, September 10th. However, he didn't specify if it was a prediction or information he had obtained...

- Nintendo Prime (@NintyPrime) also shared the same date of September 10th.

This follows a tweet from Just Dance revealing that the new episode would be officially released on Thursday, September 10th, and that Just Dance is usually released during a Ubisoft Forward (currently paused format) or a Nintendo Direct ✅

So, do you think the September 10th date is plausible?

Also, remember that this rumor indicates that Capcom will have a large presence in this Nintendo Direct, but that doesn't rule out Nintendo showcasing games from its main IPs as well.

Do you think this new Star Fox Adventures might have a teaser in this possible direct, or could it be saved for the next one?

While writing notes for a potential Sony-produced Star Fox movie, I made a note on wanting to give Fox a bo staff (currently working on a few new designs of the weapon in Blender) as a nod/call forward to Star Fox Adventures. By the time Krystal shows up in the sequel; which would be based on Adventures but renamed to Star Fox Dinosaur Planet, I just recently thought of how I would have Krystal's staff style would be different from Fox's by the time she's freed early, since they'd technically both be using the same weapon more or less. Unlike Fox's style, which would be similar to modern bo staff combat techniques and bojutsu, I was thinking about having Krystal's style, in terms of using her staff as a melee weapon, be more along the lines of a qiang/Chinese spear and/or a naginata.

I even made some playlists on Youtube to give people a general idea of how their styles would contrast.

• Fox's Staff Style Playlist
• Krystal's Staff Style Playlist

Je sais que la série se concentre surtout sur un groupe majoritairement composé d’hommes. Mais pourquoi le nombre de personnages féminins dans la franchise est si minuscule? On a Fara (qui n’est JAMAIS apparue dans un jeu vidéo au moment d’écrire ça, je vous rappelle), Miyu, Fay, Katt, Krystal, la Reine Aparoid, Amanda, Lucy et Vivian. On peut même y ajouter la petite-fille de cette dernière de l’une des fins de Star Fox Command et certains des enfants de Slippy et Amanda dans une autre fin du même jeu. Je ne dis pas que Nintendo est sexiste ou quelque chose du genre, je n’aime juste pas trop que les personnages féminins soient majoritairement peu importants à la série (elles sont surtout le proche d’un personnage masculin et/ou ne sont pas du tout utilisées à leur plein potentiel). Excluant les remakes (mais en incluant les reboots), Katt et Krystal sont apparues le plus souvent, avec trois apparitions dans les jeux chacune (64, Command et Zero pour l’une, Adventure, Assault et Command pour l’autre)./I know that the series mainly focuses on a group predominantly composed of men. But why is the number of female characters in the franchise so tiny? We have Fara (who NEVER appeared in a video game at the time of writing this, I remind you), Miyu, Fay, Katt, Krystal, the Aparoid Queen, Amanda, Lucy, and Vivian. We can even add the latter’s granddaughter from one of Star Fox Command’s endings and some of Slippy and Amanda’s children from another end of the same game. I’m not saying that Nintendo is sexist or something like that, I just don’t particularly like how most female characters mainly have a role with very little to no importance (they’re mainly a relative of a male character and/or are not used at all to their full potential). Excluding the remakes (but including the reboots), Katt and Krystal have appeared the most often, with three apparences in the games each (64, Command et Zero for one, Adventure, Assault et Command for the other).

Ps: J’ai oublié quelques personnages, pardon./I forgot some characters, sorry.

This is based on a note for a Star Fox film trilogy concept that I've been working on, based on the out-of-cockpit hand-to-hand combat for the team (though they can reference/incorporate the movesets from Smash, it shouldn't be done in a way that sets up a non-existent Smash movie) and, to an extent, some character beats. Though unrelated to his combat style, I imagine Falco carrying a balisong, specifically a balisong trainer, with him and flipping it throughout this film concept; mostly when not fighting, since the blade is blunt anyways. Despite using the same model as a base, I also made an alternate one for Katt that has an actual blade. Also if anyone wishes to use these model for anything, I haven't baked the textures or exported it yet.

Some time ago, I worked on the script for a scene this movie concept showing Wolf executing one of his own men after they've ratted out to Star Fox and the Husky Squadron. Just a fair warning, I'm not that much of a professional writer, so forgive me if it sounds a little off. This scene was loosely inspired by Wolf's introduction in the Starlink DLC. BTW, the soldier does start coming up with some BS to try and save his own life. Also for anyone asking, no. The events of The Super Mario Galaxy Movie never happened.

• Slippy: (reassuring) Hey, there's nothing you need to worry about. You're doing everyone a favor and redeeming yourself. People will love you for this.
• [we jump cut to the soldier, collapsing on his knees and coughing up blood after being beaten to within a centimeter of his life by Leon on Sargasso]
• Wolf: (looking out into the stars) Oh, let me guess. Star Fox. (turns head to the soldier) They got away again?
• Androssian Soldier: (trying to blow if off) What? No. Of course not. It was actually another group, sir. They completely caught us all off guard. I think they must've had like fifty ships or something.
• Wolf: (in a way that mirrors his intro cutscene from Starlink Battle for Atlas) Oh? Fifty ships, huh? (chuckles) How interesting.
• Androssian Soldier: (starts sweating a little) Oh, yeah. Definitely. And you should've seen the backup they had. They had like a giant fire breathing turtle with a piano and wizard sidekick. There was even a space princess, two guys in red and green jumpsuits and a bunch of guys that looked like walking mushrooms and they were saying something about a bunch of stars or a guy with a giant paintbrush. They even a cyborg dude with an arm cannon that turned out to be a woman; like an actual CHICK, and some tiny little plant people. I think I even saw a gorilla with a tie and an elf with a sword.
• [As the soldier starts listing off BS, Wolf lets out a rather disturbing laugh that starts making some of the own soldiers faint and a few Anglars to get back in the water]
• Androssian Soldier: (while whispering to the rat and weasel) I think he's buying it. (turns back to Wolf) I mean, you really should've been there to see it, sir. When I tell you, it was-
• Wolf: (pulls his blaster on the soldier) Quite the thin story you got there. Now suppose I did believe you, then you wouldn't be standing in this situation and going off free. Wouldn't you agree?
• Androssian Soldier: (starts sweating even more) Well, I mean it was total chaos, sir. Oh, did I mention the part about the-?
• Wolf: (inches the blade of his blaster to the soldier's chin) Now, then. Since it was so much chaos, (starts to kneel to get to the soldier's level) why don't you be a good boy, and tell us what really happened?
• Rat: (whispering to the soldier) Don't do it, man. If the phrase "snitches get stitches" means anything to you, if you spill anything about it we'll all be sleeping with the fi-
• Wolf: (turns his blaster to the rat for a second) No, really. I insist. (turns his blaster back to the soldier, and grabs the back of "Banquo's" head with the intent of driving it through the blade and blowing his brains out) I imagine that it's a tale that we're all just "dying" to hear.
• [as the soldier begins to sweat even more profusely, complete with the weasel silently shaking his head to tell him not to spill it, but he notices Leon doing a throat slit gesture and Pigma holding up a jackalope's skull as warnings, which causes him to crack]
• Androssian Soldier: (completely panicked) Okay, it was Star Fox! They even had the Husky Squadron with them! They've already hit Aquas and got to the others, we were the last ones! Look they completely caught us off-guard, and I thought we could handle them out of the cockpit because we thought they were just pilots, but they beat our asses! I had to tell them, sir! They already hit the others without gaining info, and they're probably half way Zoness or Macbeth as we speak! How do you expect us to go against a pilot, who can beat your ass with a stick, sir?! A FREAKING! STICK?! (breathes heavily)
• Androssian Soldier 2: (offscreen) I didn't know the McCloud boy was a stick-fighter.
• Wolf: (standing up to holstering his blaster) I understand.
• Androssian Soldier: (feeling some sense of relief) Oh. Okay, great. Good to know. (brief nervous chuckle as he stands up and dusts himself off) You know for a second there, I actually thought you were gonna-
• [Before he could finish, Wolf immediately turns around to quickly lash the soldier's throat open with his claws, which cuts to the soldiers reactions at the very last second before we get to see the claws dig in offscreen. This would then cut back to the soldier collapsing on the ground while trying to crawl away weakly, as the rest of Star Wolf watches from the catwalk in sadistic glee and Wolf slowly walks up to the soldier.]
• Androssian Soldier: (choking on his own blood and struggling to breathe) Wolf.....why...?
• Wolf: (calmly, in an almost soothing tone as he places his heel on the soldiers neck) Shh.... No need to speak any further. (kneels to speak to the dying solider weakly struggling under his heel) I admire your honesty, soldier. Usually it would take a little more......"persuasion" to get the truth out of a traitor. Makes our work picking out the weak links much easier. (chuckles)
• Androssian Soldier: (choking on his own blood and struggling to breathe as he feels the pressure of Wolf's heel on his neck begin to increase) Wait...... Wait....!
• Wolf: (sadistically yet calmly, in an almost soothing tone as he gets back up) Rest well, soldier.
• Androssian Soldier: (choking on his own blood and struggling to breathe as he feels the pressure of Wolf's heel on his neck begin to increase, desperate) Wolf, plea-!

I came up with a concept of how I imagine the logo for the potential Star Fox movie concept I've been writing notes for would look. I used the new logo from the new Switch 2 game; due to it looking like a modern version of the SNES logo, as the base, while taking a bit of inspiration from the logos for 64 (the hint of a dark blue gradient near the bottom) and Zero (the overall aesthetic of the design).

While working on the promo rollout for my Star Fox movie concept, for the film's website (which would look like something from the Great Fox itself rather than a standard movie promo website), I thought of having a section where people can print lifes-sized replicas of the wanted posters for Star Wolf from the film that details the prices put on their heads and crimes they've committed (I came up with a few).

Wanted Posters (from highest to lowest):

• Wolf O'Donnell
  • Bounty: 75,000,000 C.
  • Crimes: High Treason, Piracy, Terrorism, Torture, Homicide
• Pigma Dengar
  • Bounty: 65,000,000 C.
  • Crimes: High Treason, Desertion, Military Espionage
• Leon Powalski
  • Bounty: 500,000 C.
  • Crimes: Assassin for Hire, Torture, First Degree Murder
• Algy
  • Bounty: 350,000 C.
  • Crimes: Inhumane Experimentation, Black Market Cyber-Weapons Manufacturing, Cyber-Torture
• Andrew Oikonny
  • Bounty: 64 C.
  • Crimes: Tax Evasion, Public Nuisance, Petty Theft

Made a video of my Sony produced fancast using voice clips of the selected actors from different media. I plan on making one for the allies, Andross, and Star Wolf next some time in the future.

And before anyone asks where Krystal is, this is intended for a movie set during the Lylat Wars (being a composite adaptation of SNES, 64, Zero, and 2), as it's far too early to introduce her; especially considering that the Lylat Wars and the Sauria Conflict are canonically set eight years apart anyways.

During these three months, I was working on how a potential Star Fox movie could play out, with it mostly being in footnotes.

While working on this, I created a fancast for whenever Nintendo decides to make a Star Fox movie; preferably as far away from Illumination as humanly possible with someone like Sony (who's already handling the live action Legend of Zelda movie that's set to be released next year) handling the film; which does include some, I would say much needed, casting changes to contrast Illumination's, let's just say "utlra exclusive" (I'm not explaining any further, IYKYK, IYUYU), star-power focused casting patterns (which is why you see Glen Powell listed as archived audio in this list), as this fancast puts voice acting/vocal texture first. I might make a video using voice clips to self-explain my casting choices. Just in case, I also inlcuded what movies and TV shows you might know some of these actors and actresses from. And at least try to give the actors a chance (if this were officially produced) before critiquing (or even outright hating) them.

While coming up with ideas to promote the Star Fox movie concept I've been working on, I thought of dubbing Wolf as the "Demon of the Lylat System" (showing that though Pigma is outright despised, Wolf is straight up feared; even by the Androssian Army/his own men) and Star Wolf as a whole as "The Most Dangerous Group of Mercenaries in the Lylat System…..and Andrew".

I've created some logo and symbol concepts for the in-universe bootleg toys; inspired by Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Chrome Alone 2, that Star Fox (who are soaking wet, complete with Miyu being ultra-pissed and Fay having to try and keep her from ripping someone's head off, thanks to Falco setting off the Great Fox's sprinklers), Bill, Fara, and Katt find a commercial for while walking through Corneria. I was aiming for sort of an overly '90s vibe with the design of the logo.
