Nintendo Founder Laments the Unpopularity of 'Star Fox'
No matter who you are, you can't always be the best. Even NBA legend Michael Jordan had a bad game every now and then. Apparently, the same holds true for video game developers, too. In a recent interview with MTV's Multiplayer blog, Miyamoto was asked how he reacts when a game he designs isn't received well by gamers. "I tend to forget those games [laughs]," he said. Miyamoto, the creator of gaming icons Mario and Link, used the example of the 'Star Fox' 3-D space flight game, which featured animals piloting fighter ships. Inspired by "Every time we make a 'Star Fox' game I'm hoping people will enjoy it as much as I do," he said. "...the people that purchase the 'Star Fox' games has decreased over the years."
Don't mistake Miyamoto's words for an indication that he's ready to hang up the 'Star Fox' series. After all, the "Do a Barrel Roll" soundclip from the games has become a meme in its own right. [From: MTV]

Starfox Adventures on the GameCube rocked my world. Assault wasn't bad either, and SF64 was fun, but so hard at the end that I gave up.

Ah, man! Miyamoto has made some of the best games! I LOVE Starfox! He's my favorite, ever since I was young. Infact I used to read his comics in the Nintendo Power issues my brother collected. Ahhh, memories...

He worries about games like Star Fox yet isn't ruling out the possibility of Wii Music 2? Nintendo needs to turn themselves around quickly or they will soon find that the casual gamer is not someone that they can continue to sell to. The casual gamer may buy the Wii initially, but after that and a couple games they don't keep up with it. Nintendo needs to attract the core gamer.

I think the key issue with StarFox losing gamers is that the games have strayed too far from what was so much freaking fun in the original and SF64. Take it back to the basics but update the graphics to be super awesome!
