<p>Okay, now we’re straying into familiar territory. With tonight’s Nintendo Direct getting everyone’s pulse racing, it seems the old rumour about a <a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2018/05/rumour_retro_studios_is_working_on_a_secret_star_fox_grand_prix_title_for_switch"><strong>Star Fox</strong> racing game</a> from Retro Studios is doing the rounds once more.</p>
<p>According to a post from GameFAQs user <a href="https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/234547-super-smash-bros-ultimate/77476995/917372919">Vergeben</a>, the long-rumoured <strong><a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2018/05/rumour_fresh_details_of_star_fox_grand_prix_suggest_its_not_like_f-zero_at_all_thanks_very_much">Star Fox: Grand Prix</a></strong> will finally be revealed this evening. He’s got form with <strong>Smash Bros.</strong> character information and his original claims for the barrel-rolling racer were backed up by other websites; we, too, heard things on the grapevine.</p>
<p>From Vergeben’s post:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>From what I hear you won’t be waiting too long for it to release as I am hearing spring & there is even a beta scheduled to happen soon after its announcement tomorrow.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>That last line sounds interesting – Nintendo is hardly famous for its pre-release betas, although the <strong><a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/nintendo-switch/splatoon_2">Splatoon 2</a></strong> Testfires and Global Testpunches for <strong><a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/nintendo-switch/arms">ARMS</a></strong> arguably set precedent, especially if the company is looking to push a theoretical online component. With Retro now taking on <strong><a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/nintendo-switch/metroid_prime_4">Metroid Prime 4</a></strong> <a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2019/01/metroid_prime_4_development_scrapped_will_be_restarted_alongside_retro_studios">development duties</a>, perhaps the company was simply too busy with this until just recently.<em><br /></em></p>
<p><em>Do you think this holds any water? With the rumour mill in full swing, can tonight’s Direct possibly please everyone? Let us know in the comments.</em></p>
