In this video, Did You Know Gaming takes a look at Star Fox Armada. This game was pitched internally at Retro Studios, which if successful would have released on the Nintendo Wii U. Unfortunately the Armada pitch was unsuccessful, with the game joining the legions of other Nintendo games that were rejected, cancelled, or lost.

Man this is heartbreaking. I LOVE Starfox and am so sad about where the series is currently at

I am actually upset this didn't happen, this is exactly the kind of Star Fox game I would have pitched.

Nintendo probably didn't know what "Mercenary" actually meant too. Same to what happened with Samus being a "Bounty Hunter".

Wow retro studios has actual goldmine of an idea, sounds really fun on paper. Shame it got shut down

It sounds like a cool blend of Star Fox, Mass effect, and wing commander. This needs to happen.

Finally some light is shed on what Retro was doing in the 10 years between Tropical Freeze and Metroid Prime 4. However this is just the tip of the iceberg, there was a lot more happening than just one game...

it's unreal how much time I'd be pouring into this game if it existed. Nintendo needs to give this idea another look

WHAT! Invasions where you play as Star Wolf?? That's an incredible idea! I wonder if Nintendo were already in talks with Platinum to get Zero started. Truly unfortunate that this game never came to fruition, it would have blown Zero out of the water.

It's a shame it never got approved. The idea of putting bounties on other squads on Miiverse sounds like an amazing idea.

Watching this as an Star Fox fan ... this really hurt.

This + on foot missions (make it like Mass Effect or Ratchet and Clank and you're golden) is basically my dream Star Fox game. I really hope that someday, someone does something like this. Heck, you could easily make a "Star Fox" and "Star Wolf" stories. There's so much potential for Star Fox. How does Nintendo not see it?

We need a full blown Retro exposé at this point and you guys are the ones to do it

This just makes me wanna cry. I love StarFox and I really wish the franchise was in a better state.....

The Starfox series has so much potential, I'd love to see it make a comeback. I hope we get to see what happened to the first version of Metroid Prime 4 and why it was scrapped. I'm surprised that no info has leaked on it yet

All of this sounded like what the fan base needed / wanted…. An evolution in every sense from Star Fox 64. It’s really sad, this sounds like it would have been a blast to play and if successful could have given the franchise some new life. Hopefully some day we see Fox and co again.

Dang, seeing those sales numbers and realizing that the best sellers were only 4 and 3 million, there's no wonder they haven't touched it in so long when other titles just dominate the scene. The way starfox games felt is just something special that other games often fail to replicate, and I wish it would make a comeback.

Even just being able to create your own character in a Star Fox game sells me, so all of these features just makes me sad this didn't get greenlit. It sounds like it would have been absolutely amazing, with countless people having countless hours on it in short amounts of time. Maybe someday it could come back in some form, even if it's not specifically a Star Fox game and just a spiritual successor.
