If
history has taught us anything, it is that this fan-made
StarFox game in the making may not ever see the light of day by way of threatening letters from a pack of rabid Nintendo lawyers. But, in the meantime, we might as well bask in the dream before it could be crushed to a creamy pulp. Check out the
site here and as you see, you got the video above. Good luck guys, we'll keep our fingers crossed for ya!

or hire them
All in all, it makes sense. But anyway, those guys deserve some merit for their achievement.
It would make more sense if these guys just released a Star Fox clone rather than actually basing it on the characters. Then they could release it without worrying about legal action.
Actually, they would. 20th Century Fox was so notorious for doing just that that the term ""foxed" was coined in their honor. Free mods like the Aliens TC for Quake (and more recently the Halo RTS Summa mentioned) can be construed as unfair competition when the rights holders are planing on releasing their own games.
If the team is lucky, Nintendo might just ignore them. But if the project starts getting a big enough buzz, chances are they'll get squashed.
it's based on the (now) open source freespace 2, one of the best space simulators. This mod has been in construction for a while, i think it's almost finished...
Oh well, it's not likely that the game will survive too much longer anyway. Now that the intertubes are aware of it, the Big Guy will come shut it down.
