Namco has confirmed that it is currently developing the next instalment in the Star Fox series for the TriForce Arcade platform.
The game is said to be similar to the original SNES shooter and is being jointly developed with Nintendo staff.
Following the F-Zero model, Star Fox is likely to result in a GameCube version that will be able to exchange data with its arcade cousin.
This is an interesting story, inasmuch as previously, UK-based Rare has been charged with creating Star Fox titles, including the upcoming Star Fox Adventures for GameCube. Whether these two games will be cross-compatible remains to be seen.
