‘That is so cute…’
Star Fox Zerofinally launched this month and hadthe receptionof a wet fart in a lift. Fans of Fox McCloud might be sadZeroturned out to be such a dud, but animator, and voice actorMatthew Gaffordhas saved the day with the first episode of his fantastic animated series,A Fox in Space.
This 13-minute long episode is seriously impressive when you consider almost everything was done by Gafford himself. Other people did help with some elements of production, but on the whole, this was Gafford’s solo project. Anddangcan he do a good Wolf O’Donnell. The episode also answers the age-old question of whether Fox has robo-legs or not, so that’s something.
Nintendo has already taken shots atA Fox in Spaceduring its development, meaning work in progress clips released over the years featured“Faulks MacLeod” and “Wolfgang O’Donald”. However, the finished product has been released as a not-for-profit parody, and soshouldbe protected, even if it’s back to using the names we know and love.
Saying that, this is Nintendo, and its copyright protection is nothing if not arbitrary and ruthless. Hopefully it doesn’t get antsy by this, because I’d love to see a second episode.
