+* <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.

In this Q&A, Cuthbert reveals a few notable points about his career, his relationship with Nintendo and in particular with [[Shigeru Miyamoto]], and his work on Star Fox. In fact, whilst not giving any hints about the type of gameplay we could anticipate with a possible Wii U Star Fox game, citing that he prefers what Shigeru Miyamoto would decide to do with that part, '''Cuthbert expressed his desire to work on another Star Fox game in the future, and "expand it further."''' Whilst the Q&A does not reveal any promises, it it quite an interesting read when it comes to Cuthbert's experience in the industry.

 * <b>July 7, 2012</b> - Whilst we did not get any hints of a new Star Fox game whatsoever at E3 2012, which was frankly widely considered by many media outlets as one of the worst received E3 events overall to begin with, major pop culture and entertainment press outlet [http://www.ign.com/ IGN] recently had an exclusive, short interview with the one and only [[Shigeru Miyamoto]], speaking about seeing some familiar franchises for the upcoming Wii U console. Whilst Miyamoto did initially emphasize about the Wii U's unique GamePad controller having potential for a new [[metroidwiki:Main Page|Metroid]] game, he ended up saying that '''he would "personally" prefer to see a new Star Fox game for the Wii U'''. While this is not exactly an official announcement for anything relative, however quotes like this from one of the most notable executives at Nintendo would deem as valid hints towards expecting something at some point in the future.
 * <b>May 5, 2012</b> -  '''Rumor:''' This bit of information has been circulating the internet for about a year now, but apparently a new source has re-ignited this old rumor. Gaming blog [http://techtroid.co.uk/ Techtroid] had claimed they were tipped off that Nintendo's American first-party developer - [http://retrostudios.com/ Retro Studios] - are prepped to reveal an upcoming Star Fox game for the Wii U at this year's E3. Retro Studios are the highly acclaimed developers behind the [[metroidwiki:Metroid Prime (series)|Metroid Prime trilogy]] and the game [[dkwiki:Donkey Kong Country Returns|''Donkey Kong Country Returns'']]. It has long been confirmed that they had been working on a "secret game" for the Wii U, but no one really considered the likelihood of it being a brand new Star Fox title. Like all rumors, and as much as we love to hope, it should be taken with a pinch of salt. Interestingly, a few days before Nintendo's initial presentation at E3 2010, there were rumors that Retro Studios were working on a new Donkey Kong title. Initially, such a rumor was not received with enthusiasm as people believed it was too far-fetched considering numerous factors, but during E3 Nintendo does indeed unveil ''Donkey Kong Country Returns'', courtesy of Retro Studios. Therefore, a rumor it may still be, we do not recommend dissing the idea of a Star Fox Wii U title from Retro Studios just yet. [http://techtroid.co.uk/starfox-wii-u-at-e3-2012-10079 ''Source'']<br />Nintendo had recently confirmed that their initial presentation during E3 2012 will debut on June 5, starting at 9am Pacific Daylight Time (local time). Nintendo confirms they will unveil first party titles such as [[pikipedia:Pikmin 3|''Pikmin 3'']] and [http://kotaku.com/5902458/nintendos-bringing-new-wii-u-pikmin-and-mario-to-e3 a new Super Mario Bros. game for the Wii U]. Nintendo also confirms they may ''not'' reveal the release date and price for the Wii U at E3, but rather at a later date.
