Jacob St-Amour from Link-Cable Writes: "Last year, we were treated to a strange collaboration between both Ubisoft and Nintendo with Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle and this year we were given even more goodies from the two companies with Starlink: Battle for Atlas and the inclusion of Fox McCloud. Now, this is very exciting news as Star Fox is getting some time in the spotlight and it adds more exclusive third-party support for the Nintendo Switch, but at the same time, how sad is it that Ubisoft has been able to do more with Nintendo’s franchise by simply showing off a trailer."
An independent UK developer says it’s been forced to announce and postpone its game on the same day, and lay off more than half of its staff, due to the sharp downturn in investment in the games industry.
The armadillo returns.
I personally do remember Infogrames in the years prior to merger. They really did have a portfolio that stuck out and I enjoyed. I wonder what value they see in reviving it now though?
The good old days of Driver and Stuntman. Unfortunately both games are long gone.
Hopefully this gets Embracer group back on track
Truly sad indeed
Unfortunately I have to agree with the title of the article.
Indeed, which is why I thought it was a great idea to have Fox McCloud in Starlink. It will give the Starfox franchise more recognition.
I was hoping the rumors were true about a new starfox game from nintendo. So many games i really wanted to see but i guess i didnt keep my expectations in check. Nintendo NEVER does exactly what they should or what people want. They march to their own beat all the way to the bank vault full of gold coins.
Star Fox, F-Zero, Donkey Kong (until DKC Returns), Mario Party, Paper Mario, Wave Race/1080 Snowboarding/Pilotwings, so many franchises that are either ignored or given a B or C-Team treatment.
I love Nintendo and will always buy their consoles/portables but they have had some pretty big "what the heck are you doing?" moments when it comes to many of their IPs.
