Yeah - the interview touches on the lack of new F-Zero and, to a lesser degree, Star Fox games. Apparently, they just haven't been a priority, there was a reference to games being canceled far into development, so I wonder if that happened as well.

I love the idea of Nintendo finding a good partner studio to bring a fresh take to F-Zero.

He said a new F-Zero would cost a fortune in this day and age. And so they are probably hesitant to invest in one and then only sell like, a million or less copies.
