Dylan Cuthbert not too interested in returning to StarFox, calls the Wii a toy, and says Miyamoto makes what he wants, not what fans want

A portion of a G4 interview with Q Games President Dylan Cuthbert…

G4: Would you like to do another Star Fox game?

Dylan Cuthbert: (Laughter) After Command? Uhh, not yet. Maybe in another 10 years. I’ve made three.

G4
: …I have to ask you, why do you think it was always difficult for developers when Fox got out of the Arwing. Fox is a pilot, but they’d always get him out of…like the tank, the tank was cool, but it still felt like an Arwing - Why do you think people wanted to take him out of being a pilot and have him run around on foot?

Cuthbert: I think that’s all Miyamoto. Whenever I speak to Miyamoto about Star Fox, he says it’s not meant to be just a flying, sci-fi shooting game. It’s meant to be anything we want to think up. But the core fans don’t want that, but Miyamoto doesn’t really care about that. He wants to make what he wants to make, so he just goes ahead and gets it done.

Then, Mr. Cuthbert brings us back to the launch of the Wii with this statement…

The Wii is a bit more of a toy, I think.

I just lost a lot of respect for Mr. Cuthbert…not for his Miyamoto comments (they may be true), but for his opinions of StarFox and the Wii. Check out the full interview here
