He also said the same thing to the Star Fox developers. Either Star Fox 3DS is the best one ever, or no more Star Fox games. Both franchises would go back in the box.
Rather extreme threats (and, to be fair, he surely couldn’t have been serious), but sometimes if you want the best out of your troops then you need more stick than you do carrot!

Haven’t even had a Console outing since assault which was gamecube :(

Wednesday, June 8, 2011 at 1:57 PMStep 1. make threats about canning franchises.
Step 2. realise that they’re the only franchise customers care about.
Step 3. laugh and tell people your joking.
Step 4. release the same old games in HD and 3D.
Step 5. profit?

Sunday, July 3, 2011 at 7:23 AMNintendo should at least make a completely new Starfox game before making a threat like that.
