+* <b>September 05, 2014</b> - Yesterday's Nintendo Direct for the Wii U game ''[[wikipedia:Bayonetta 2|Bayonetta 2]]'' revealed the titular character Bayonetta will have the option to don a Nintendo Crossover Costume called "Star Mercenary", which is directly based on [[Fox McCloud]]. It addition, Bayonetta's guns will be fashioned after [[Arwing|Arwings]], and shoot lasers instead of bullets using the signature target-lock reticule. Whilst the Wii U port of the first ''[[wikipedia:Bayonetta|Bayonetta]]'' game will include Crossover Costumes, the "Star Mercenary" is exclusive to the sequel. The game launches in North America and Europe on October 24, 2014. In other news, Nintendo confirms its first wave of 12 [[wikipedia:Amiibo|amiibo]] figurines will include Smash fighter [[smashwiki:Fox (SSB4)|Fox McCloud]], and although they did not confirm a release date, the figurines are now available for pre-order at various physical and online retailers. Highly recommended to pre-order the Fox McCloud amiibo figurine from [http://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Fox-amiibo-Wii-U/dp/B00N4ABODK Amazon] or [http://www.amazon.co.uk/Nintendo-amiibo-Super-Smash-Bros/dp/B00N8PBS0A Amazon UK].
 * <b>June 10, 2014</b> - Prior to the debut of Nintendo's Digital Event at E3 2014, Shigeru Miyamoto has [http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2014/06/e3_2014_shigeru_miyamoto_confirms_star_fox_for_wii_u confirmed a new Star Fox game in development for Wii U], based on an interview with ''TIME'' magazine. The game in question was not officially announced at E3 itself though, although some mentions of it occurred during the live Nintendo Treehouse streaming event. We shall watch closely and have more info on this as it develops.
 * <b>June 03, 2014</b> - Nintendo has been gradually rolling out the new Update 2.0 for their Nintendo 3DS downloadable free-to-play title ''Steel Diver: Sub Wars''. On Nintendo UK's Twitter page, in commemoration of the release, [https://twitter.com/NintendoUK/statuses/473758537349607425 they announced] that anyone who owns or purchases the Premium Version of ''Steel Diver: Sub Wars'' prior to June 19, 2014 will receive the new downloadable submarine - [[Star Fox (team)|Star Fox]]'s own [[Blue Marine]] - for free! This also confirms the Blue Marine as part of the roster of DLC submarines for ''Steel Diver: Sub Wars''.  This is the second Star Fox reference made for the title after [[Peppy Hare]]'s cameo appearance when the Premium Version of the game is to be purchased.

 * <b>March 15, 2013</b> - In [http://nintychronicle.wordpress.com/2013/03/12/nc-interview-with-two-tribes-gaming/ an interview with Nintendo Chronicle], Collin van Ginkel, co-founder of indie studio [http://twotribes.com/ Two Tribes], notable for its ''Toki Tori'' series, has claimed that they "could make a damn fine Star Fox game for Wii U. Yes, a classic Star Fox game would be awesome to work on." Two Tribes marks as the third developer, after [http://retrostudios.com/ Retro Studios] and [http://platinumgames.com/ Platinum Games], that is willingly volunteering to develop a new game based on the Star Fox IP license. It still a wonder why Nintendo, owner and publisher of said license, has not taken up any of the developers' offers as of yet.
 * <b>December 26, 2012</b> - Rising, UK-based Nintendo gaming media outlet [http://www.nintendolife.com/ Nintendo Life] recently conducted an exclusive interview with Phil Tossell, a former Rare employee known to be the lead software engineer for ''[[Star Fox Adventures]]''. Whilst the interview is not a break-through premise about how a game like ''Star Fox Adventures'' ended up with so many holes in it, Tossell shared a lot of his own perspectives and memories surrounding the game's internal development period, from beginning to launch. Here's [http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2012/12/feature_the_making_of_star_fox_adventures a direct link] to that article in question if interested. By the way, it was [http://www.polygon.com/2012/12/12/3757884/nintendo-land-the-postmortem-interview recently revealed] that one of the attractions in the Wii U launch game ''Nintendo Land'' - "[[metroidwiki:Nintendo Land#Metroid Blast|Metroid Blast]]" to be precise - was originally themed after the Star Fox series during development before it was later dropped in favor of the Metroid series because it "works well" with the latter. Consider it fortunate that Namco Bandai were more considerate when they included a [[Fox McCloud]]-based costume as a bonus for their fighters in their own launch title ''Tekken Tag Tournament 2: Wii U Edition''. Before I also forget, in case you are not already aware, ''[[Star Fox 64 3D]]'' has since been re-released as a Nintendo eShop downloadable, digital game since November 2012 in all regions.
