Shigeru Miyamoto has revealed that the Star Fox 64 Remake and Yoshi and the Mysterious Book happened because of the characters' appearances in The Super Mario Galaxy Movie.
Star Fox has had a bit of a whirlwind year. From being considered one of Nintendo's "dead" franchises after the monumental flop of Star Fox Zero on the Wii U, it's come back in a major way in just a few months. Fox McCloud played by Glenn Powell was announced for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie right before it was released, less than a month later a new (well, old) game was announced, and the following month it was released as a Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive. But according to Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto, that was no mere coincidence.
