"StarFox Name Change (for Europe anyway)"

Been confirmed by Nintendo. StarFox Adventures: Dinosaur Planet is to be called Lylat Wars Adventures: Dinosaur Planet.

Oh I see, good job they don't use them anymore then :)

Oh yeah... that was StarWing that the copyright is held for...

oops... ah well. Who knows... Ninty works in strange ways...

Ah, but Whitestripes (good name btw), THE games delayed the launch of Starfox over here just to change the name, and get the boxes reprinted. There was no need!

Oh and another ting, you may remember that in Lylat Wars on the N64, the general (can't remember his name now) still called them Starfox. Its perfectly fine for them to use the word Starfox in the game, its just that the product itself cannot be *called* Starfox.

What you mean, to change the name on the box and the title on the main screen? I doubt there will be many references to Starfox in the game, and besides, the galaxy (or whatever) is called the Lylat System; so it may be mentioned anyway.

Well, Ninty released Starfox on the SNES alright...

I think it's to do with copyright issues... I think someone owns the UK copyright for StarFox...

You know, one of the biggest critisms of THE games (Ninty's old UK games distributer) was that they delayed Starfox 64 for ages just so that they could get the game changed to "Lylat Wars". Why?

And why are Nintendo going down the same road? It's pointless, will take some extra time to change all the references to "Starfox" in the game, and actually sounds worse anyway.

What a complete waste of time.

They (STARfox) have battles with STARwolf innit?

So i guess they could call it STARwars....or maybe not :)

I reckon 'Adventures Of the Fox from the Stars and his frog and bunny rabbit friends'

Actually, that sounds pretty crap :D
