RUMOR - Koei Tecmo pitched Star Fox Warriors to Nintendo, but nothing came of it

The following comes from Laura Kate Dale...

- Koei Tecmo wanted to work on a Star Fox-themed Warriors title
- there would have been a focus on melee combat
- some space combat would have been included as well
- no motion controls
- missions would have alternated between ground combat and a simplified space combat system
- it was going to be "visually over the top”
- Nintendo turned down the idea “due to questions regarding the future of the brand”
- no specific platform was mentioned
- Koei Tecmo still wants to work on another Warriors game with Nintendo, and Nintendo is interested as well
