RUMOR - Retro Studios working on Star Fox: Grand Prix for Nintendo Switch

This is a rather interesting rumor to say the least. According to Reddit user DasVergeben, Retro Studios seems to be working on a Star Fox spin-off that focuses on racing. Star Fox: Grand Prix, as the game is called, would be a mix between F-Zero and Diddy Kong Racing. It would include bosses, missions and even a dedicated hub world.

What do you think of this information? Personally it raises some eyebrows around these parts. Here is the quote of said Reddit user in full...

"What Retro Studios is working on is a spinoff based on an existing Nintendo IP that they haven't worked with before.... Star Fox.

It is actually a racing game. Something like Diddy Kong Racing mixed with F-Zero essentially. But more like F-Zero gameplay. It will have a adventure mode of some kind (think Diddy Kong Racing) and there will be some boss fights and a hub world like it too.

It is called Star Fox Grand Prix."
