From zero to hero
Almost from the moment it was revealed, Star Fox Zero has endured the kind of scrutiny that first-party Nintendo releases are rarely subjected to. From Time's botched announcement during E3 2014 to the news that external help was being used and the game would

Guide Unlocking Every Stage in Star Fox Zero
We're not leaving Peppy behind
In many respects Star Fox Zero is a loving tribute and reimagination of Star Fox 64, yet it takes a different approach to unlocking stages. It starts off relatively linear, in a first run-through of the story, and then it's time to play through once again. As you unlock new transformations and vehicles new options...
Guide Getting Started With Star Fox Zero and Mastering the Controls
We also look at the basics of amiibo and co-op
Star Fox Zero is landing on the eShop and in stores, bringing us the first full entry in the series in a number of years. We were big fans in our review, yet the game has been divisive, in part because of its GamePad-centric controls - for our money we think the time required to master the game's...

No, not THAT Direct, THIS Direct!
After some vague rumblings earlier in the week, Nintendo has only gone and announced another Direct presentation for this Thursday, 27th March 2025.

And he reckons Miyamoto will make it happen
Surprise! Takaya Imamura is back with another dream for the future of Star Fox. But this time, instead of calling for a Switch port of Star Fox Zero or Assault again, the legendary Nintendo artist has his heart set on the big screen.

Reaction With Xenoblade Chronicles X On Switch, The Wii U's Demise Is Complete
Farewell, friend
Over the last several weeks, Nintendo fans have been absolutely itching for news on the upcoming Switch successor; news that, if today's announcement is anything to go by, likely won't be occurring until 2025. Alas, the blow has been significantly softened by the reveal that Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition will be making...
Random Someone Recreated Star Fox's Arwing In Starfield
"Do a barrel roll!"

More recently was the arrival of Bethesda's long-awaited space RPG Starfield. It blends classic Bethesda role-playing action with spaceship dogfights that look like sce

Talking Point What's The Worst Game That You Still Love For Some Reason?
All your perfect imperfections
Today marks the 15th anniversary of NBA Live 08 on the Wii. Quite why there wasn't a national holiday and organised street parades for this excellent game is beyond us. Except, of course, it isn't excellent at all. The game was, for all intents and purposes, objectively bad, and yet there is a very large part of this...
Random Wii U Emulation On Valve's Steam Deck Supports Gyro Controls
Dual screen 3DS and Wii U gaming also possible
Valve's Steam Deck has already proven it's able to run all sorts of video game emulators. What's even more impressive though is just how capable it is when it comes to Wii U and 3DS emulation. As highlighted by the website Steam Deck HQ, Valve's handheld PC is not only able to split screens across...
Poll What's The Best Star Fox Game?
Okay, what's the SECOND best Star Fox game, then?
You hear that? That is the sound of a 25-year-old 64-bit Arwing firing up its turbo boosters as Lylat Wars fast approaches its quarter-century. (Yes, Lylat Wars -- look it up, kids.) To say that the Star Fox franchise never got better than its first sequel isn't too controversial these days. The...

Preview Preferring the Air in Star Fox Zero
Well, Alex does
It's been the best part of a decade since we last received an original title in the Star Fox series, a time only briefly broken up by the release of the admittedly excellent Star Fox 64 3D. It feels like this entry could be make or break for these anthropomorphic adventures in space, so can Star Fox Zero meet the lofty expectations...
Hands On Logging More Flight Time With Star Fox Zero
“Impressive, Star Fox!”
In this second look at Star Fox Zero, Morgan Sleeper has a more positive experience than colleague Alan Lopez. To reflect the divisive nature of the controls, Alan's updated impressions from another playthrough are also included. When Miyamoto-san's Muppet started sprouting Star Fox features during the Nintendo Digital...
First Impressions Our Maiden Flight In Star Fox Zero Prompts Mixed Emotions
You okay over there, Fox?
One of our men on the E3 floor, Alan Lopez, had a first run on Star Fox Zero in a short session. We'll aim to have a longer playthrough - to tackle the GamePad control scheme, in particular - in a separate media session later this week. When I got to the Star Fox Zero kiosk inside the Nintendo media room, the Nintendo rep...

My feels, they feel so feelin good
is this real?
I will check back one year from now!
They better not call it Star Fox for Wii U, that sounds awful.
Naming games in a numerical order or by the console they're on is trending for Nintendo atm apparently. I sure hope they don't continue that for this and Zelda etc...
@xerneas yeah, i remember when the SNES came out and a bunch of titles had the word "Super" in front of it... N64 was the same... Didn't see that on the GameCube (my favorite Nintendo console)... But you are right that it is a Nintendo trend that has gone on for generations.
@piggie_pie Nintendo, now your playing with power, super power. Voila. I remember those adds in the past. I was so blown away as a kid. I so loved my nes
It'd be awesome if they give players the option of a first person, cockpit view and free roaming in space battles instead of everything on rails, though I love the old games
So hyped. Never played a Starfox game I didn't love!
@NickGamerShark "Never played a Starfox game"
gets into battle stance
" I didn't love!"
releases self.
Whatever. Anybody could make an game like StarFox on the PC right now and have people pay for it.
What I noticed from Shots is "Andross Icon is more of an Pirate; instead of an military shield or coat of arms".
Andross is not an Pirate for starters, he was an scientist and was sent away in the far regions of space as punishment of his experiments???
Andross is like god-like being, or an diety of some sorta entity of some sort, in "StarFox Assault" from my opinion. In this game they make him out to be some sorta pirate???
It would make more sense if this game was about StarFoxes father, then himself. Because for this to take place before the original Starfox it would be..
I can't wait to play this Game !!!!!! Star Fox is Back and Better than Ever
OH PRUMUS YES
There's a new Star Fox Zero Trailer
@Banjos_Backpack When you say, "won't allow you to play it" I hope that means you didn't buy it. I think the controls can be mastered in most modes of gameplay, but I don't think there is a "great game in there." In fact, even if the controls were magically fixed, I'd still consider this game to be one of the worst in my Wii U collection.
