The Star Fox/Metroid Wii U Rumor is put to rest

tl;dr
Star Fox/Metroid crossover is not happening.
Editor's Note: Remember when this was a rumor? Well it was just debunked.
Coming from the Paul Gale Network, where the rumor originally started:
"It was in these past few days that I was able to find out if there’s any truth to Star Fox – Metroid: Fusion Saga.
The good news is that going into E3, I have an answer: No. This game is not what Retro Studios is currently working on and it will not make an appearance at E3 next week.
According to my source, the game was indeed at one time a proposal. Furthermore, the idea of Star Fox and Metroid crossing paths in a more unified Nintendo universe represented but one of several potential team-up projects that Nintendo has been considering. Games like Pokémon + Nobunaga’s Ambition and Project X Zone (Capcom/Namco Bandai/Sega game in development by Monolith Soft) were also thought up during this period of establishing more Nintendo character familiarity, helping build up less popular franchises, and showing the core demographic that going into the 8th generation of gaming with Wii U and 3DS, Big N is a forward thinking company."

thank god that cross over wasn't retro studios proposed game.
I love starfox and I love metroid (who doesn't) but a cross over is a bad idea especialy for starfox he needs to regain his gameing reputation back with a new sequal. Not just another remake and the most popular internet meme in the world "do a barrel roll".
Now nintendo drop down and give me 20 barrel rolls. lol

I find it strange that Nintendo hasn't taken advantage of the WiiMote for Star Fox yet. Also they need to stop screwing around and make another good Metroid game. I'd be cool with another Prime, but it would be really cool if they just updated the Super Metroid formula and make a wicked-awesome 2D gem. I just hope that everybody forgets about Other M and is still in the mindset that Samus is one hardcore bad-ass gal.

but... driving samus's ship like an arwing and super missling slippy down in multyplayer sounded so fun

I honestly never saw how these completely different games could crossover. They should only ever make a crossover if they honestly feel they can blend and mix the 2 together smothly. No big for me.
