Kamiya is the man behind Okami and Viewtiful Joe.
He recently dropped two tweets on Twitter (translations not mine):
First: “If they had the team that made Star Fox 64 make it…”
Then: “I want Nintendo’s staff to come to Platinum, stick guns at us and tell us ‘You guys make a new Star Fox.’”
Supposedly he sent a few more tweets discussing how much like liked SF64.
This guy has created some pretty good games, and he is apparently willing to make an old-school style SF game. Nintendo, are you listening?

Heh. It looks like all sides of the Starfox query are battering for the next game. This and the Miyamoto interview a week ago should hopefully move things forward. If there isn’t an announcement at E3 this year… well… who knows.
