Speaking to IGN during an interview ahead of its Digital Event, Shigeru Miyamoto explained the team was currently focusing on creating a high-quality single-player experience, and didn't want to be sidetracked.

"So, we're really prioritising getting this new game playing at 60 frames-per-second," he said. "In previous Star Fox games we had focused a lot on dogfighting, but here we're really focused more the single-player experience.

"Of course, as we continue on and once people get a feeling for the game... as the process continues if we find that we do think it'd be really good we'll definitely consider it, but right now we're not."
