Namco"s Star Fox game will not be released anywhere in 2004, according to reports. A story on IGN this week quotes "insiders" who claim that the previous November target has now been scratched in favour of something in 2005.
Meanwhile, Nintendo of Europe"s Christmas release schedule, released to the press today, makes no mention of the title, virtually confirming what Nintendo of America reps characterised as rumour and speculation this week. Star Fox, in development for GameCube at Namco and Nintendo, features classic Arwing shoot-"em-up action with a new focus on multiplayer, and has appeared in playable form at the last couple of E3 trade shows.
