Many Wii U exclusive games have made the jump over to Nintendo Switch – with some Star Fox fans being hopeful that Star Fox Zero will eventually get a revival on Nintendo Switch with more conventional controls.
Sadly, it looks like even the title’s co-developer PlatinumGames is unsure if this will ever happen.In a recent interview with GameXplain, the developer spoke about their current and future projects moving forward.
PlatinumGames – Star Fox Zero
When asked about Star Fox Zero possibly getting a Nintendo Switch port, however, PlatinumGames’ Atsushi Inaba simply admitted that they have not been approached by Nintendo for such a project, and have no clue if a port is in the works:
To be honest, we wouldn’t have the slightest clue – Star Fox Zero was a bit of a special case for us.Star Fox was, you know, an IP that Nintendo has had way before we entered the picture. That was a game that they were interested in making and kind of just lent out an offer to us: “Hey, would you like to kind of work on this with us?”.
As far as the future of any ports or whatever…no conversations have come our way. I don’t think it’s something we would be involved in, to be honest.
So as things stand, it looks like Star Fox Zero might just remain one of the few Wii U exclusives to never migrate to the Nintendo Switch.
GameXplain also spoke to Platinum Games about other topics such as the desire for a sequel to The Wonderful 101 Remastered, development on Bayonetta 3, Project G.G., and more.
