During the most recent Nintendo Direct broadcast Shigeru Miyamoto appeared on our screens to present Star Fox Zero and Star Fox Guard, confirming their dual release in April. It was a pleasing affirmation that the title has been finished as planned, and we don't have long to wait until we take to the skies on Wii U.
That Direct segment was filmed in New York, so naturally Miyamoto-san took part in a media blitz. As is increasingly common YouTube is a key part of that, with the legendary game designer appearing on a host of popular channels for interviews.
We've picked some out below, and they're well worth a watch if you have some spare time; there aren't many earth-shattering revelations, but it's always a pleasure to listen to Shigeru Miyamoto and his more-than-familiar translator, Bill Trinen. The delight of the presenters in meeting Miyamoto-san also never fails to raise a smile - it's fair to say that Miyamoto-san is a hero to many.

Game is looking good
I'm getting that old SF64 feel
Where's the NintendoLife Miyamoto interview?
not to rub it in, but i bet you guys are feeling all sorts of horrible things for not being included among the interviewers. i feel for you man. having said that, they really do love their enemy designs at platinum. i see what looks like a mechanical fortitudo, and flying centipedes that might resemble inspired.
i wonder if any other platinum enemy standards will show up. most of them are landlubber enemies, after all. i wonder how much of this game is platinum and how much is miyamoto. shiggy must be relieved now that both starfox and project guard are finally coming out. looking forward to it!
btw there's a character spoiler at the tail end of the last interview with 'that one video gamer'
I honestly think Star Fox Zero looks fantastic. Each world looks unique and diverse and the game has that classic Star Fox humor and style. I am also pleased that Star Fox Guard has been transformed from Miyamoto's idea. I think it will be a very welcome addition to my Wii U library. Might even be a day one purchase. Who knows!
This has become a day one purchase for me. The visuals have seen a definite improvement. It has that star fox 64 quality to it but the enemy designs scream platinum games.
It's also good to see some organic levels instead of just being cold and mechanical. Those parts give me a panzer dragoon orta feel. Can't wait for this to come out!
Looks fantastic!!!!
Oh so miyamoto doesn't really like star fox on snes that makes me sad, thanks for the young staff is all i can say.
@Dakt
TheJWittz is a mainly Pokemon-focused channel (although he does also talk about other Nintendo games frequently).
That One Video Games is better known as The Completionist, if that rings any bells.
Sadly only one brief mention of Platinum Games in over an hour and half of interviews. Still, the game itself is looking great.
I don't get why some people are saying that they think the graphics look bad from what I've seen the game looks amazing I can't wait till April gets here day one purchase.
@chardir I want to see Alex talk with Miyamoto!!!
I understand why Nintendolife aren't included in these New York interviews- as they are UK based channel (which I think is the reason we love their tone and humour)
But what about Gamexplain? They're the biggest Nintendo fanboys EVER!
Do they not have multiplayer in this besides the tablet co-pilot?
Notice me Mat senpai
It's amazing how much time they have spent on the features that no one wants!
Crap motion controls.... F.off!
No online.......is it the 90's
No online weekly missions.......why not!
No online chat.........
This game is 5/10 and will allways be! That's 5/10 for single play campaign and 0/10 for actual content!
I imagine if theres something like this in Europe, alex would be one of the first to be in line to get an interview:)
@Lord seems a little harsh to mark them down for a lack of both Online and Online Chat when you clearly can't have one without the other.
I personally feel the game looks a bit lacking in content, I never had a problem with its graphics and such like so many seemed to early on, but I played Starfox 64 3D and found it pretty boring. StarFox Guard in the other hand might be pretty good especially if it cheap. I know a lot of people are excited for this and I think it'll be a great game for fans of the series but personally I think I'll pass.
The less games shiggy's involved in, the better!
As the new ceo said our future is with the young designers intouch with the world......Role out the new generation!
The game doesn't really shine until you see it running in HD at 60 fps...then it looks really stunning and dynamic.
Looking forward to this!
