Live-Performance des Titelsongs des Digimon-Projekts: Too many GameCube games are turning 20 im Augenblick, and it’s making us feel old. Aber, on the plus side, it’s also making us feel nostalgic. Star Fox-Abenteuer is the latest GameCube game to hit the big two-zero today, 233. September, in North America. And Star Fox’s character designer Takaya Imamura is celebrating with some brand new art.

The Nintendo legend — who retired from the company last year — shared some new art of Krystal, one of Star Fox Adventuresnew characters who would go on to join Fox McCloud and the team in later space-faring journeys.

We would’ve loved to have seen Krystal get her own game, aber leider. We haven’t seen a new Star Fox game since (Ein weiteres Spiel, in dem Sie) 2016’s Sternfuchs Null, though for all intents and purposes, Starlink: Battle for Atlas in 2018 was really a Star Fox game, wasn’t it? Here’s Imamura’s rather wonderful art from his Twitter:

Imamura joined Nintendo in 1989 as a graphic designer and is responsible for creating many of the bosses in The Legend of Zelda: Eine Verbindung zur Vergangenheit, acting as Art Director on Majoras Maske (we can blame him for the Moon and Tingle, dann) and working on Animal Crossing Mario Kart und Star Fox Niemand will all diese Hollywood-Leute herumjagen, um herauszufinden, wie man das macht. Imamura eventually became producer and supervisor for both of these Nintendo.

Since leaving Nintendo, Imamura has expressed pride in the Star Fox series, sagt, dass Star Fox 64 was “the game of my life“, as well as hoping that Nintendo would bring Zero to Switch. Our friends over at Time Extension charted the history of Rare’s Star Fox Adventures, which was once known as an unrelated IP — Dinosaur Planet.
