^I'm definitely up for having a chat in the SD Chatroom, Riku. Unfortunately there probably won't be as many exploding choppers, but maybe another running theme with games this year instead?
Oh shit yeah - SWERY's new game, D4 is another one.
Kenny, if you meet Kojima, make sure that he knows that you are the right person for the job! Metal Gear movie directed by a Dojo-er. Especially one who is as big a Metal Gear nut as myself. Just seems right.

Not some reboot of the same thing with new textures (and NO new content...) no "spin offs" or Zelda themed games with fox, no lame ass "on foot with a gun" level shit. No fly-with-a-stylus-awkwardly RTS game. Just good ol' on the rails shooter fun in an Ar-Wing and nothing but hilarious voice acting and epic boss battles. And when people and critics bemoan "OMG The rails... THE RAILS!!" I will point their way towards Star Fox Assault on Gamecube. There. No rails to be had there idiots.
Star Fox 64 was a huge seller for the N64. There was one proven model of Star Fox that really succeeded, and Nintendo avoids that model like the plague. Why nintendo seems so stingy with making a true sequel to the series when they're always so starved for games, I don't know. Just a mario churning machine these days.
THANK YOU! It really irks me that people just rewrite history as they see fit (something something NeoGAF): Star Fox
can sell well if given the right platform to do it on. They may as well make one for Wii U, since the range of software is basically just Mario and more Mario; they may as well diversify it a bit and encourage old school Nintendo fans to buy the system. It isn't like Nintendo have much else lined up now anyway, so they might as well do it and Donkey Kong was another series that never really sold anywhere near Mario or Zelda levels and that got revived.
Miyamoto even has spoken in favour of it a few times, don't know if it's the board or Iwata holding the series back. And I love rail shooters and those people who moan about the games being rail shooters aren't fans of the series in the first place. Assault was disappointing and Adventures just wasn't Star Fox. As for the DS game, never played, no doubt i will at some point being the big fan of Star Fox that I am (as in a glutton for punishment).

I don't know. Matsuno was brought back for the Tactics Ogre PSP remake, so it isn't as unlikely as you might think.

I'd like to see that just so we can have more amazing interviews. But yeah, it's a tragedy what happened to him. Did you know that Mikami actually picked up most of those guys from Game Republic and took them to work at Tango Gameworks, currently on The Evil Within? The reason being that Mikami and Okamoto were friends during their Capcom days and those people from Game Republic were former Capcom devs anyways. Thought that was really cool of Mikami to do that.
