GAMING NEWSRumor: Star Fox - Metroid Crossover Coming To Wii U, In Development At Retro StudiosPosted on Monday, May 21 @ 09:15:05 Eastern by Alex_Osborn
![]() Have you ever wished that you could play as both Fox McCloud and Samus Aran in the same game? Wait... scratch that, Nintendo already did that with Smash Brothers. Well, if the popular Nintendo brawler hasn't managed to satiate your desire for more crossovers between popular Nintendo characters, a recent rumor for a new Wii U title may be right up your alley. According to Paul Gale Network, the same source that pre-maturely outed PlayStation All-Stars, Retro Studios may be working on a Star Fox - Metroid crossover title for the Wii U. PGN has been a relatively reliable source in the past, but it is worth noting that the source is warning gamers that the validity of this particular information is still in question, so bear that in mind. The title, allegedly dubbed Star Fox – Metroid: Fusion Saga centers around the stories of both Fox and Samus after the two collide in space, sending the female bounty hunter plunging to the surface of an unknown planet. As one might expect, Fox and his team then set out to find Samus in segments of gameplay that include both air-combat and third-person action (think Star Fox Adventures). Meanwhile, Samus will be exploring the planet on her own in gameplay sections that will bear a striking resemblance to Metroid Prime. Eventually, the two meet up and fight Andross, who is somehow weirdly involved in a plot to exploit the power of Metroids. The end. Sounds a bit crazy, I know, but hey, Nintendo has done some crazy things in the past, and as insane as this is, it might acutally work. After all, who ever though at platforming plumber would be so successful? Let us know what you think about the perplexing mashup in the comments below.

But I also said the same thing of Kingdom Hearts, forever ago. I mean really, Final Fantasy and Disney? How? HOW does that manage to work?

The stupid system deleted like 95% of my comment. Let's try again:
If this is true, then I really hope that "Star Fox - Metroid: Fusion Saga" is just a preliminary production title, because it really stinks. Talk about a bland phone-it-in effort.
I wonder how they would make it happen. Would the Star Fox team be working for the same Galactic Federation as Samus, or would she head out into space for some reason and stumble across them?
And colliding in space would be a pretty chintzy way to have them meet. Space is rather big and empty. The chances of even big things colliding, let alone tiny things like individual space ships, is pretty low. To say nothing of the sensor systems the ships would have to warn about an approaching object.
But even with the problems, this would have potential. I would definitely give it a shot if it turns out to be real.

So, for you skeptics who think this idea will never work...think again. We have one of the best video game studios of all time behind the wheel of this project. This could turn out to be one wild ride!
