It appears Google is a fan of Star Fox, or so their changelog reveals. Though there has been no official confirmation of any Google based OS devices, engineers apparently have code names for these projects, and what are those names? According to Google insider  François Beaufort the code names are Fox, Falco, Slippy, and Peppy.

Today Starfox was released in Japan on the Super Famicon system 20 years ago. That means that naturally, today is the 20th anniversary of Starfox! So, did Nintendo have anything special planned for the series? No. But we, the fans, have a special place in our hearts for you Starfox. We will keep hoping, and carry on. Long live Starfox! 

Wow, look at the time! There hasn't really been squat going on in the Starfox universe lately, has there? Rather unfortunate. This is just an update to let anyone concerned know that SFE will be going under a site redesign for it's upcoming 2nd year anniversary this July and that we will be upgrading server hosts to allow more traffic, as we have been off and online nonstop here lately (no thanks to spammers). 

 Key to note is that the forums are closed. It was the forums that have been under heavy load due to spam that has been causing us to shut down, so until we adress the issue and fix it they will remain closed. Until Nintendo begins to actually invest in the Starfox series again and give us something to hype over we won't be investing too much into the site other than keeping you up-to-date with the latest news pertaining to the state of the series.

 Nintendo Life has contacted Dylan Cuthbert regarding the supposed true reasoning behind the renaming of Starfox and Starfox 64 to Star Wing and Lylat Wars respectively in Europe and Australia. 

There has always been speculation behind it, and whether or not this is true could either qualm and add to it all.

Regarding the name change, Dylan Cuthbert had this to say:

"I can’t be sure but I seem to remember vaguely someone at Nintendo telling me that there was a company or something called StarVox in Germany, and because 'F' is pronounced like a 'V' there they had to change the name to avoid confusion.

I think by the time the Star Fox Command and Star Fox 3D came out the company was defunct or perhaps the lawyers simply decided that there was no product confusion any more.

The only story I know is the 'StarVox' one, because it was an interesting problem - which is why I remember it."
