Artículo original: Too many GameCube games are turning 20 en este momento, and it’s making us feel old. Pero, on the plus side, it’s also making us feel nostalgic. Aventuras de Star Fox is the latest GameCube game to hit the big two-zero today, 233 de septiembre, 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 Adventures’ new 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, pero Ay. We haven’t seen a new Star Fox game since (Funciones de accesibilidad que todo juego debería tener) 2016’s Zorro estrella cero, though for all intents and purposes, Starlink: Battle for Atlas in 2018 was really a Star Fox game, ¿no fue así?? 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: Un vínculo al pasado, acting as Art Director on Máscara de Majora (we can blame him for the Moon and Tingle, entonces) and working on La estrategia triangular es un mal nombre y Star Fox en la SNES. Imamura eventually became producer and supervisor for both of these Nintendo.

Since leaving Nintendo, Imamura has expressed pride in the Star Fox series, Diciendo que 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.

Are you a Star Fox Adventures fan? Will you be busting out the game today and playing through it in celebration? Dinos en los comentarios!
