Star Fox U (2015)

Campaign
In an interview with GameSpot, game developer Shigeru Miyamoto revealed that both Project Guard and Project Giant Robot are connected to Star Fox for Wii U in some fashion. (Gamespot)

Miyamoto has stated that the game's main storyline and overall presentation will be structured episodically, taking inspiration from the 1960s television series Thunderbirds, with the main missions featuring traditional Star Fox gameplay acting as "primetime programming," while side-missions featuring more quirky, experimental gameplay mechanics (such as those found in Project Guard and Project Giant Robot) act as "late-night programming." (Gamenesia)

I wonder if Ganbarion will be handling development duties as they just worked with EAD 5 on Wii Fit U and EAD 5 is most likely working on Starfox Wii U given Takaya Imamura's history with the series.

That's one of the possibilities I strongly believe in. It looks like EAD will release Star Fox digitally, with some type of interesting UI where you can play the main missions (traditional Star Fox) that will be EAD Group No .5 production / music / level design with maybe someone like Ganbarion using that EAD prototype and finishing the campaign.

Then EAD will provide those bonus games Project Guard and Project Giant Robot as side-missions it seems. It sounds interesting!

Was Imamura already confirmed? Miyamoto said in this SMOSH interview thing that he is working with him on the new Star Fox.

I mean. I knew it was an absolute given he was the director. Confirmation from Miyamoto sure was nice ;)

Yeah. Also looks like Shigefumi Hino is working on the next Pikmin game already if Miyamoto's constant Pikmin talk is anything to go by. Pretty cool.

I just don't see it. I really don't see a Pikmin 4. I speculated, that maybe a Pikmin game for N3DS? Since there are patents for an unreleased 3DS/NDS Pikmin prototype.

There's definitely something Pikmin-related in the works and I don't see why it couldn't be something in the vein of Pikmin 4. Now they can easily reuse the gameplay system, engine and assets they developed for Pikmin 3 and make Pikmin 4 on the cheap to get some additional money out of the basis they developed. I can easily see Miyamoto green-lighting this, especially as he seems to favour the franchise to a pretty strong degree, anyway.

Also, if I remember right, Pikmin 3 sold around 1 million worldwide, which is pretty solid for a Wii U game.
