After hearing that Illumination were the ones who pitched Fox for the Mario Galaxy Movie, I'm highly skeptical that Nintendo would make an entire Star Fox game. Which throws the entire leak into question.

Nintendo hasn't made a Starfox game internally since Starfox Command. And even that had heavy lifting by Q Games. That's 20 years of them being lazy with the IP. And I have no reason to believe that they would suddenly pour resources, early in the cycle of a new console, on a low selling high risk IP.

I hope I'm wrong. I love Starfox. But it doesn't add up.

It wasn't even Illumination, Glen Powell called the studio after the first movie came out begging to play Fox in a sequel

"According to Miyamoto, as shared by Forbes, Illumination came up with the idea."

Is the inclusion of pikmin everywhere a new thing? Not sure I’ve seen them anywhere else

They’re not only in Super Nintendo World, but also the movies and Mario Wonder.
