Title: Confused about Star Fox
Post by: Strell on May 14, 2003, 02:03:34 PM
Don't flame me until you read this.
We all know Namco was supposed to be making Star Fox Armada, assuming this would be another extension of the Arwing-style shooter gameplay.
And then we hear about Star Fox coming from Nintendo itself. IGN.com reported that there must be two Star Fox games in development - the Namco shooter and the mysterious Nintendo one.
Now that we've seen the footage of Fox, and assuming that E3 is officially underway and everything is out in the open, I've only seen some shots of one Star Fox.
So was IGN.com just wrong, and Namco is co-developing it with Nintendo? Or has one of them not surfaced?

I'm fairly certain that IGN was wrong and there's only one Star Fox title in development. Maybe they got confused by the dropping of the subtitle "Armada" which we used quite a bit. It does appear as if Nintendo is co-developing this one with Namco.

Yes, they've gone and changed the name to Star Fox 2. (I was confused, walking around at E3 today, I asked my friend "Is that Armada?" I am almost positive that this is the same as what was once Star Fox Armada. But... if so, why no information on it being on the Triforce? o_O

In IGN's recent update, they confirm that Star Fox 2 and Star Fox Armada are indeed the same game.

what I dont understand, is why that name at the dice interview, someone asked about star fox 2 beta (snes) which is easly found on the net, if it would be released on gba and he didnt rule it out so why did they release a game with the same name as the snes game
and does this mean that in europe it will be called lylat wars 2?
