I honestly was not expecting them to branch out into other IP beyond DK. With this introduction it does feel like they are heading towards a Smash Brothers movie. That aside, I would love a Star Fox franchise to exist again. Looking forward to the new rumored game.
I’m pretty sure I just saw a headline mentioning Nintendo working on a new Star Fox game, so I imagine they’re some tie-in here with the character in order to market the game to a new generation.
