PayPalOriginally called Wild Blue and now Wild Blue Skies, recently we had a fresh proper gameplay reveal and it's clear this is the spiritual successor to Star Fox.
Which makes a whole lot of sense considering the studio was started by Nintendo veteran Giles Goddard. The aim is to bring a modern take on the classic on-rails shooters of the '90s for fans of the genre to jump into, while being accessible to newcomers. No date for when it will release yet but probably sometime during next year.
The latest gameplay video gives a look at Bowie Stray and his Blue Bombers battling during a storm. Check it out below:

This is the closest I've seen someone get to Starfox 64 superficially, but a core part of a rail-shooter is scripting out cool cinematic sequences and it seems like its lacking strong direction in that regard. It's coming across a lot more arcadey and silly. 😅

Not to be confused with Whisker Squadron.
This looks great. Nintendo is too busy litigating and patent trolling, otherwise they would have already pumped out this exact title under a different name and with a more familiar set of characters.
