Star Fox Zero Wii U Game's Trailer Shows Branching Paths
posted on by Rafael Antonio Pineda
Nintendo unveiled a new trailer for its upcoming Star Fox Zero Wii U game during its Nintendo Direct presentation on Thursday. The trailer shows the game's branching paths and co-op gameplay, and confirms the game's April 22 release date in North America.
The presentation also highlighted a new game in the series titled Star Fox Guard, which tasks players with setting up cameras and defenses in a maze to ward off enemies, and hit them from angles they cannot defend from. Players will be able to upload enemy configurations online so that other players can try them. Star Fox Guard will be bundled as a download code with the First Print Edition of Star Fox Zero, and can also be purchased digitally as a separate game.
Star Fox Zero was originally slated to ship last November, but the game was delayed.
Nintendo unveiled the game during its press conference at last year's E3 in June. Game designer Shigeru Miyamoto is working on the game alongside designer Takaya Imamura.
Miyamoto said the game is neither a sequel nor a remake. He chose the title "zero" to reflect that, and also because he liked the design of the kanji for "zero."
