Summary
We already know thatNintendois expanding its film efforts, witha sequel to the Mario movieanda Zelda adaptation in the works. However, former Nintendo artist Takaya Imamura believes that the company will take this even further, saying that aStar Foxmovie is also likely.
This comes from an interview with TheGamer, as Imamura sat down with us atGamescomto discuss his career with Nintendo. Here, he touched on the future of the IPs that he worked on, namelyF-Zeroand Star Fox, and shared his belief that something will happen with the latter at some point.
Star Fox Is More Likely To Get A New “Game Or Film” Than F-Zero
“This is just my personal feeling, but I think of those two games, [Shigeru] Miyamoto has got the strongest feelings for Star Fox,” he told me. “So, I think we’ll see another game, film, [or] some kind of new development with the IP at some point, but I don’t know when or what."
However, if it is a film, this has the artist’s full support: “I’ve already spoken to Miyamoto and said if there’s going to be a film, please just give me a call because I want to be a part of that."
Imamura worked with Nintendo from 1989 to 2021. During this time, he worked on the art of numerous games, including F-Zero and Star Fox, as well as its sequels, A Link to the Past, Majora’s Mask, and Donkey Kong. While he’s now working on a game independent from Nintendo, Omega 6: The Triangle Stars, it certainly sounds like he hasn’t ruled out working with the company again in the future.
