Miyamoto: Yoshi and Mysterious Book and Star Fox Remake developed because of Mario Galaxy Movie

The legendary Nintendo developer Shigeru Miyamoto has participated in an interview with Famitsu during which he discussed how The Super Mario Bros. Movie and The Super Mario Galaxy Movie influenced the teams decision to make new games based on appearances in the movies. Mr. Miyamoto says that Yoshi and the Mysterious Book was developed because of The Super Mario Galaxy Movie and Star Fox was also developed because of Fox McCloud’s appearance in the same movie.

“I don’t decide everything about the lineup, but we did discuss that ‘we have an idea to include Fox in the script for the movie (‘The Super Mario Galaxy Movie’), so we definitely want a new Star Fox game.’

Sometimes things get decided after we’ve discussed them. We started working on the first Mario movie (The Super Mario Bros. Movie) and Princess Peach Showtime around the same time, and we talked about things like, ‘If we have this game, shouldn’t Peach be more energetic in the movie too?’ It was decided early on that Yoshi would appear in The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, so we decided to make a Yoshi game, and that’s how development of Yoshi and the Mysterious Book began.

It’s a case-by-case situation, but I think we’ll continue to maintain a good relationship between games and other developments.”
