Live Blog: Check Out Star Fox Zero: The Battle Begins and a Nintendo Treehouse Showcase - Live!

The animated short will take flight

by Thomas Whitehead Wed 20th Apr 2016

Star Fox Zero and Star Fox Guard are arriving on Wii U this week, and to get us warmed up we have Star Fox Zero: The Battle Begins, an animated short produced in collaboration with Shigeru Miyamoto, Production IG and WIT Studios. After that the Nintendo Treehouse team will be showing off the games, and we'll be watching and live blogging the whole thing.

Treehouse are finished, we've now embedded the animated short. Enjoy!

00:08

Play JC's stage with 377T3PT when Guard comes out.

ThomasBW84 said:

Wow, Sam seems to be really good at this game.

23:59

ThomasBW84 said:

Cool, we get to see the level creation tool.

23:47

Now we're switching over to Star Fox Guard

23:44

ThomasBW84 said:

Ah, this stage is fantastic

23:37

ThomasBW84 said:

This is a cool amiibo unlock, the retro Arwing is a lot of fun.

23:35

ThomasBW84 said:

To be fair, this is a bad stage for showing off the Black Arwing

23:34

ThomasBW84 said:

IMPRESSIVE

23:32

It's amiibo time, if you want to see them in action

23:26

ThomasBW84 said:

Use charge shots you damned fools!

23:25

Co-Op Mode now, for all of you with friends

23:23

ThomasBW84 said:

Not going to lie, I was hoping all the references to Star Fox SNES in the short would bring us to an announcement of it coming to VC. Slightly sad that hasn't happened.

23:19

Treehouse plans to show some bosses, alternate paths and amiibo features

23:19

ThomasBW84 said:

Snide aside, I always enjoy these Treehouse showcases.

23:19

ThomasBW84 said:

If I was President of the Universe I'd ban the word 'Dude' from Nintendo broadcasts.

23:17

ThomasBW84 said:

Did you all enjoy the animated short, then?

23:14

That's the animation finished, it was great! Treehouse up now.

23:13

ThomasBW84 said:

Well, that was cool, I enjoyed that a lot. If they did one of those for every stage it'd be AMAZING.

23:13

ThomasBW84 said:

Suspense, Peppy and Pepper being secretive...

23:11

ThomasBW84 said:

Fox, what a show-off

23:10

ThomasBW84 said:

"Destroy the big things!" - yeah, well done Slippy

23:10

ThomasBW84 said:

There it is! "Do a Barrel Roll"!

23:09

ThomasBW84 said:

Pepper infused scent weapon things?

23:08

ThomasBW84 said:

This is rather cool

23:07

ThomasBW84 said:

Fun note, music is matching equivalent game scenes.

23:06

ThomasBW84 said:

This music is a great track, too, love it.

23:06

ThomasBW84 said:

"You crazy tadpole", ouch, Falco smacks down Slippy

23:05

ThomasBW84 said:

Peppy's getting mad!

23:04

ThomasBW84 said:

Oh snap, it's all kicking off

23:03

ThomasBW84 said:

Kinky!

23:03

ThomasBW84 said:

Steady on Peppy, you grumpy hare

23:02

ThomasBW84 said:

Falco playing Star Fox on a weird controller - NX confirmed?

23:02

ThomasBW84 said:

Good strutting, Fox

23:01

ThomasBW84 said:

General Pepper is HOT (I'll get my coat)

23:00

ThomasBW84 said:

Andross, what a jerk

23:00

ThomasBW84 said:

SQUEEEEEE!

23:00

The Battle Begins...

22:54

Five minutes to go, we're all counting on you Fox!

22:51

ThomasBW84 said:

I can exclusively reveal that NX won't be revealed during this stream...

22:50

ThomasBW84 said:

Ten minutes, get the snacks in.

22:45

15 minutes to go, we're gearing up to watch live with chat and cheery pictures

22:43

ThomasBW84 said:

And there's the YouTube feed. Remember to hit play!

22:41

Slippy's feeling the hype

22:30

ThomasBW84 said:

How many of you are planning to buy Star Fox Zero, then?

22:30

The 30 minute countdown has started, so says the ROB voice in our head

22:23

Untitled Live Blog Image

Falco realised that the animation is on soon...

22:17

ThomasBW84 said:

So, are you guys excited about this animation? I for one think it could be pure gold.

22:16

45 minutes until the animation starts - Peppy had better say Barrel Roll...

22:03

ThomasBW84 said:

Rather than stare at a blank Twitch screen I've embedded the teaser for now...

22:02

ThomasBW84 said:

As always we'll switch to the YouTube stream if an official one is made available.

22:01

ThomasBW84 said:

Hello! So this stream will start with the 15 minute animation - Star Fox Zero: The Battle Begins - and then there'll be a Treehouse showcase of the game (and maybe Star Fox Guard). It all kicks off at 3pm Pacific / 6pm Eastern / 11pm UK / midnight CET.

Socar said:

That was DAMN AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NINTENDO!!!!!!!!!!!!! DO MARIO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Maxz said:

Thanks Thomas

Maxz said:

Okay, night night everybody

Maxz said:

And Japanese Slippy is even more irritating. Slightly.

Maxz said:

Japanese Falco is even more grumpy

Maxz said:

Bye bye Grumble

Maxz said:

Fun Fact: Andross' name in the Japanese version is 'Andolf', which I can only assume is a play on Adolf Hitler

HopeNForever said:

@BMORRI If you're not interested in the original Japanese voice-over, you needn't see it

Grumblevolcano said:

bye

Grumblevolcano said:

Anyway, I'm out

BMORRI said:

Ok

ThomasBW84 said:

Ok, refresh should have the animated short on screen. Enjoy! I'm outta here.

BMORRI said:

Still here

Grumblevolcano said:

That was a cool stream

BMORRI said:

I think I'd like to understand it thanks.

BMORRI said:

Why would you want to?

Maxz said:

Thanks Hope

HopeNForever said:

You can also watch the short in Japanese here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dk0re3POIQ8

BMORRI said:

THEEND

BMORRI said:

Hurry up and release FEF in Australia

Maxz said:

377T3PT

Maxz said:

Pro Tip

Freeon-Leon said:

Nice Sam

Maxz said:

BLAM!

Maxz said:

She's better at this game than Alex!

Maxz said:

Dem eyesss!

Freeon-Leon said:

Surprise!

Maxz said:

What a cheeky rascal!

Maxz said:

JC, you're such a schemer!

ThomasBW84 said:

Indeed, when Treehouse are done I'll put the short on here too.

Maxz said:

Gaah, I wouldn't want to cuddle a black hole

HopeNForever said:

Guys! The short is now available for replaying on YouTube

Freeon-Leon said:

Like a sweet and cuddly black hole?

Maxz said:

You're probably very sweet and cuddly, and good at making ice cream

Maxz said:

You're not a bad guy JC

Freeon-Leon said:

lol indeed

BMORRI said:

lol

Maxz said:

"A Evening With JC"

Maxz said:

So intimate!

Freeon-Leon said:

Or light disappear

Freeon-Leon said:

Maybe it's better for making ice cream

Freeon-Leon said:

Yeah, I agree

Maxz said:

But one thing's for sure: it's probably not very good for making rice

Maxz said:

Nobody seems very sure about the temperature of a black hole, or if the concept is even really applicable

Freeon-Leon said:

THE MORE YOU KNOW

Freeon-Leon said:

Did you guys know his real name was Doroteo Arango?

Freeon-Leon said:

and Pancho Villa!

BMORRI said:

I open the chat and see science.

Freeon-Leon said:

Pancho Villa no Regresó (a) Torreón... It's easier like that.

Freeon-Leon said:

and yeah, PV=nRT

Freeon-Leon said:

I don't know, it just could be a cool way to say "cold"

Maxz said:

Like, if you compress a bottle, it gets hotter, because the particles are denser and moving about more erratically

Freeon-Leon said:

Yeah but all that energy could be transfering to another place in our galaxy or another dimension or w/e

Maxz said:

I though they'd be hot because of all the energy contained in that high pressure environment

Freeon-Leon said:

I suppose, but I don't know exactly

Maxz said:

Are black holes cold?

Freeon-Leon said:

Aw

Maxz said:

Not inside me though

Maxz said:

Well, I CAN make rice

Freeon-Leon said:

or can you make rice?

Maxz said:

Yeah... I guess that's not a good thing

Freeon-Leon said:

warm but with a cold heart?

Maxz said:

I wasn't sure if I should be flattered or insulted

Maxz said:

Someone once said I was like a rice cooker with the heart of a black hole...

Freeon-Leon said:

I guess it could work for smooth aiming

A01 said:

no gyro in guard.

Maxz said:

Guard doesn't feature gyro controls, does it?

Freeon-Leon said:

That looks like a fun job

Maxz said:

Look at all them trendy dudez!

Captain_Toad said:

Did they have demo stations for the game in the store?

Maxz said:

bye bye!

Captain_Toad said:

Yep I'm done here too. Bye guys... and never mind star fox guard.

nab1 said:

For some reason, this level makes me wish there was a "Star Fox Maker"

HeCaster101 said:

I think I'm done watching here. Don't wanna get too much more of the stage playthroughs spoiled for me. See ya guys!

Maxz said:

And now they're dismantling the NHS!

Freeon-Leon said:

Looks like a fun stage

Maxz said:

We voted the bloody Tory gates in for a second time around!

Freeon-Leon said:

This game doesn't look bad at all

Maxz said:

Such Death Star!

Freeon-Leon said:

What are bad guys thinking when they build their boss thingies?

Maxz said:

I think he has a no lasers policy

Maxz said:

Very little

ThomasBW84 said:

What is JC doing?

TingLz said:

Nintendo is really good at designing weak points

Captain_Toad said:

hmm i wonder where the weak point is..

Maxz said:

Project Giant Stompy Robot lives!

Maxz said:

Yeah, that's a good suggestion

BMORRI said:

A crab

Maxz said:

If Slippy were a potential spouse in Harvest Moon, what gifts would be most effective at getting him to marry you?

Vee_Flames said:

Oh now I see it

TingLz said:

That arwing is so last gen

DEAD said:

nice

Vee_Flames said:

I'm not seeing anything

ThomasBW84 said:

As they said, this is 'another' Corneria level

Vee_Flames said:

what pixelated effect?

Captain_Toad said:

Wait wrong corneria?

BMORRI said:

Yay! A low poly count! My favorite!

ThomasBW84 said:

The dummies chose the wrong Corneria, so no awesome music

Captain_Toad said:

oh and the retro arwing is awesome. the only thing missing is the snes voices.

TingLz said:

I remember old school Star Fox. It was four games ago, right?

Captain_Toad said:

My bro and my cousins always choose that stage.

Maxz said:

Peowpeowpeow

Grumblevolcano said:

SNES is the only one I don't have because of no VC

ThomasBW84 said:

Listen to the music here...

Captain_Toad said:

Corneria was a favorite smash battleground on my house. We just play it soooo many times once the occasion arises.

ikki5 said:

it is sitting behind me beside my SNES

ikki5 said:

I own the SNES Starfox

Maxz said:

He's the boss; James McCloud!

BMORRI said:

Anyone want to play smash?

TingLz said:

Now I want to play Smash. Thanks guys!

Maxz said:

It's your Dad!

Vee_Flames said:

nailed it... not

BMORRI said:

I like rumble mountain it is hilarious to play on

Freeon-Leon said:

Corneria was amazing

Captain_Toad said:

I despised the Venom stage on Melee. (also on topic)

Maxz said:

Bwaah

BMORRI said:

Yeah stuff Starfox let's talk smash

TingLz said:

Corneria was a fun stage in Smash (totally on topic)

Vee_Flames said:

i didn't care, either way... ok, time for star fox

Freeon-Leon said:

Wait...

TingLz said:

Stay off his tail! Fox needs his tail for...uh...flying?

Vee_Flames said:

well he had to be a complete mess... he was ridiculous in melee

Captain_Toad said:

Dang it.

Freeon-Leon said:

It's Leon!

Captain_Toad said:

Oh look it's Wolf!

Freeon-Leon said:

Brawl-Fox was a complete mess

TingLz said:

Was someone about to vomit?

BMORRI said:

Smash is meant to be crazy and chaotic

Vee_Flames said:

yeah, BMORRI that's what they do, right? They play on stages with platforms

Freeon-Leon said:

Fox is good again!

Freeon-Leon said:

@BMORRI: Yeah, but the new stages are even crazier now

TingLz said:

We should talk about Fox...in Smash

ThomasBW84 said:

STAR FOX

BMORRI said:

Competitive players should be able to play on normal stages. Smash is about adaptability.

Vee_Flames said:

lolz

TingLz said:

Poor Thomas, I think he's the only one talking about Star Fox

Vee_Flames said:

I don't like the platforms because it's kind of hard to get under them...

Freeon-Leon said:

... And burn them all

Freeon-Leon said:

We need a Tingle amiibo

ikki5 said:

Black Arwing on invincibility mode. lol

Maxz said:

IS there a way of unlocking this stuff w/o the amiibo?

Vee_Flames said:

@Maxz well said

Vee_Flames said:

the Smash character, though

Captain_Toad said:

@BMORRI Smash Bros Wii Online mode says hi. You go to that stage SOOOOO many times.

TingLz said:

They killed my wallet! THE NERVE!

BMORRI said:

No

Grumblevolcano said:

Tingle amiibo

Maxz said:

FD is a blank canvas on which players must paint a beautiful dance

TingLz said:

Ew, amiibo!

BMORRI said:

Omega stages are such a waste of good stages

Vee_Flames said:

Duck Hunt is amazing

Freeon-Leon said:

Yeah... Omega stages are the real deal

Vee_Flames said:

What's wrong with DH as the character?

TingLz said:

I ham my way through so many For Glory games. I'm surprised I'm not banned yet

BMORRI said:

FD is boring as hell

Grumblevolcano said:

I haven't played Smash for a few months

BMORRI said:

NO

TingLz said:

FOOLS! Obviously Final Destination is the best stage

BMORRI said:

Or the Mario Maker stage

Freeon-Leon said:

Couldn't stand he tingleciousness again

Captain_Toad said:

Midgar is my favorite stage.

BMORRI said:

lol

TingLz said:

Had a fantastic glitchy Sudden Death where the opponent exploded on "GO!"

BMORRI said:

I like the WarioWare Inc stage

Maxz said:

*roll

TingLz said:

I'm so competitive. I entered a tournament with Duck Hunt!

Maxz said:

Is there an official term for the walker equivalent of the barrel role?

Freeon-Leon said:

I guess what's the reasoning behind those claws...

BMORRI said:

Competitive players

TingLz said:

@Flauber: Well Team Patrick has to beat someone

BMORRI said:

*Some people

Freeon-Leon said:

@BMORRI Ok, you can have the seeds

Wait, how are people not Team Patrick?

TingLz said:

@BMORRI: Am I not people?

BMORRI said:

Why do people refuse to use items and fun stages in smash? What a waste.

TingLz said:

Oh hey, the chickenwing

ThomasBW84 said:

I will be, yes

Captain_Toad said:

Excuse me while i squeal when star fox goes inside a corridor.

TingLz said:

So are you Team Patrick, Thomas?

ikki5 said:

High scores were never really a thing for me

ThomasBW84 said:

Yeah, SpongeBob needs to be knocked down a peg

Freeon-Leon said:

It's a seeless watermelon because it's just perfect

You guys eat fruits in very hectic ways

TingLz said:

Hey, speaking of Nintendo games, y'all should join Team Patrick!

BMORRI said:

Because reasons Maxz

BMORRI said:

Pikmin is a passionfruit

Maxz said:

Why is Smash like a rockmelon? I can kind of feel it, but I'd like to see some formal reasoning

Kazuo said:

We should replace the number ratings with fruit

BMORRI said:

Smash is a rockmelon.

Maxz said:

Sweet and juicy and cute, but explosive and messy

If i set 2 player mode and play alone I can control and shoot the way it used to be!

Freeon-Leon said:

Smash is like a seedless watermelon

TingLz said:

Fruit, leaves, SAME THING

Maxz said:

TingLz: A lettuce is not a fruit!

BMORRI said:

YES

Freeon-Leon said:

Are we going to compare games to fruits now?

TingLz said:

@Thomas: Is it like lettuce too? Peel off the bad parts? You get less but it's still good!

BMORRI said:

Americans take everything and make it weirder.

Maxz said:

And topical, given Alex's last video

Maxz said:

That sounds appropriate

BMORRI said:

Yes I have.

ThomasBW84 said:

Star Fox Zero is a banana, peel the skin of the controls and it's delicious.

Captain_Toad said:

Darn it Shiryu. Wern't ya opposed to be workin?

Freeon-Leon said:

@BMORRI Have you seen american tacos? We don't have those in Mexico

HopeNForever said:

I heard Star Fox Zero lacks online features

Maxz said:

I think something with a skin that needs peeling

TingLz said:

Hold your tongue and eat some COOKIES

TingLz said:

They are DELICIOUS

Maxz said:

Strawberries you can just bite straight into.

BMORRI said:

@Thomas Have you seen american biscuits? They are strange.

Shiryu said:

By the way: Falco was playing on a Nintendo NX. later o/

Maxz said:

I'm not sure about the strawberry TBH Thomas, I don't think that takes into account the learning curve of dealing with the controls

Grumblevolcano said:

@Freeon-Leon Super FX chip licensing issues prevent any Super FX games from appearing on VC

TingLz said:

Did you eat this game with cream? You darn British and your foreign weirdnes

BMORRI said:

@Thomas I just rated it a Sunseed Berry (Pikmin 3)

Maxz said:

Or maybe a lychee; it's got a tough shell, but then it's sweet and fragrant on the inside, but then again, it also has a seed which takes up an annoying amount of the overall fruit

ThomasBW84 said:

Star Fox Zero is like a strawberry, sharp and delicious with cream (not sure that makes any sense)

Freeon-Leon said:

I was expecting to see SF 2 on the VC before this was released

TingLz said:

Lemons are sharp!

Captain_Toad said:

@ThomasBW84 Keep the Dream alive.

Maxz said:

I think something small but sharp

TingLz said:

Obviously

Maxz said:

Hmm... And on what reasoning?

TingLz said:

Some furry fruit

BMORRI said:

Pikmin

BMORRI said:

@Maxz A Sunseed Berry

Freeon-Leon said:

That sounds even better

Maxz said:

If you had to compare it to a fruit, which fruit would you compare it to?

BMORRI said:

@TingLz 2-17 Kooloo-Limpahs

TingLz said:

That should be the new scoring policy

ikki5 said:

them using two gamepads makes me really salty... since they talked about the Wii U using two and then it never happened

Freeon-Leon said:

nice!

ThomasBW84 said:

14

HopeNForever said:

Fox McCloud plushie!

Freeon-Leon said:

@Thomas: How would you rate the game in a scale of 2 to 17?

TingLz said:

So they are giant angels?! Aw...

Maxz said:

Duuuude

ThomasBW84 said:

PlatinumGames style

TingLz said:

Platinum?

ThomasBW84 said:

The bosses have some nice variety, some are very 'Platinum'

ikki5 said:

those lasers are used in another boss....

ikki5 said:

Do the bosses all have pretty much the same type of weapon?

Vee_Flames said:

@Freeon Leon I agree... obv it's not the best looking Wii U game in a long shot but it does look nice to me

Maxz said:

Cor crumbs!

ThomasBW84 said:

Cor Blimey!

TingLz said:

Fine, but you can't ban Y'all. It's my bread and butter...emphasis on buter

Blue_Blur said:

I'm out. Enjoy the rest of the show everyone!

Maxz said:

Crikey!

ThomasBW84 said:

You can't ban Blimey!

Freeon-Leon said:

This game looks visually good, I don't get the hate

Kazuo said:

Peppy's last name is Hare right? Might be the Japanese name, but it was spelled Hair in the short. (Unless I'm just mistaken about the spelling)

TingLz said:

Well I would ban Blimey and Yanks

Maxz said:

Dude

Maxz said:

I would ban all other words than 'Dude' from all human discourse

Captain_Toad said:

Bi Shiryu

DUE

HopeNForever said:

Production I.G are responsible for the Attack on Titan anime

Vee_Flames said:

@Shiryu so does the story actually continue in game?

Shiryu said:

okok, back to work folks o/ have a good one

Shiryu said:

IG Produtctions rules!

Freeon-Leon said:

Mega Tingle... No!

TingLz said:

@ThomasBW84: Despite not caring for Star Fox, I actually enjoyed it too

Vee_Flames said:

I wish it was longer...

TingLz said:

Tingle in Pokken would be an insta-buy for me

I would love a StarFox animated movie

Vee_Flames said:

@ThomasBW84 absolutely. It was brilliant

Maxz said:

Although it could have done with more corridor

BMORRI said:

I just unlocked you in HyruleWarriorsLegends tingle

Shiryu said:

you shoudl settle that on Pokkén tournament

TingLz said:

Butter, catfish, and blues!

Maxz said:

Yes, it was a cool animated short

Kazuo said:

@Vee_Flames world premiere of the animated short

HopeNForever said:

Slippy's voice reminds me of Miles "Tails" Prower

Kogorn733 said:

@TingLz you mean butter?

Vee_Flames said:

aw man. That's too bad...

TingLz said:

I will pluck ya and deep fry ya in my special southern sauce

@Vee_Flames No its just a one off I think. Not a series unfortunately

Freeon-Leon said:

FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!

BMORRI said:

Deal with it kooloolimpah

TingLz said:

Hey, don't be insulting my accent ya dern Aussie

Vee_Flames said:

World premiere of the anime?! So there's more?!

Maxz said:

He wants to smash all the plot and turn it into soup

Captain_Toad said:

Bi shiryu!

Vee_Flames said:

@Captain Toad sure he does!

Shiryu said:

ok, back to work for me, have fun guys!

BMORRI said:

American accents are annoying.

Maxz said:

Yes, Miyamoto hates plot

Captain_Toad said:

Miamoto hates plot!

DocGroove said:

Pepper, Peppy, Pepé...

TingLz said:

Probably the accent @BMORRI

BMORRI said:

Did they just call him Pepé?

Vee_Flames said:

I'm gonna rewatch this cartoon over and over again...

Maxz said:

When was the last time there was a Treehouse event?

Shiryu said:

my 1993 self is so, so happy right now

This was amazing

Blue_Blur said:

I want that Falco plush!

Vee_Flames said:

Yes!!!!

Probably

Shiryu said:

incredbly spot on

HopeNForever said:

So glad I got the Pikmin Shorts on my Nintendo 3DS

Vee_Flames said:

A. MA. ZING.

Shiryu said:

yes it is Vee

it costed more then u make in several paychecks

They got this so perfect!

Vee_Flames said:

wait, the rest of the story is in game?!

Shiryu said:

now I want a full season Y_Y

That's not cheap animation

Maxz said:

OR SOMETHING

I just wonder how much it costed.

Shiryu said:

you guys are in for a treat when you play the first mission of the game after havign seen this

too short

Vee_Flames said:

I LOVE THIS ALREADY!

antipop621 said:

very well done

That was enjoyable to watch. Man, I kind of wish for a whole Star Fox series like that now.

Maxz said:

THAT'S WHY HE BANNED THIS

Grumblevolcano said:

Fantastic!

Captain_Toad said:

That was awesome!

Sparx said:

okay i want more

BMORRI said:

ikki there is more

Maxz said:

MIYAMOTO HATES PLOT!

abe_hikura said:

make one for each world and you have yourself an TV show

TobiasAmaranth said:

All the old dialogue from previous games: Corny and out of place. All the new genuine dialogue: Amazing.

Shiryu said:

that... was AWESOME!

DocGroove said:

Nice, this should be a series

Okay, that was very cool

Blue_Blur said:

That was awesome! Hope they make more!

BMORRI said:

Treehouse time

HeCaster101 said:

This is the type of plot/character development that StarFox needs! Glad they did this!

ikki5 said:

I came here just as the credits are rolling

aaa+

TingLz said:

Only Nintendo would be THAT secretive!

That was awesome

abe_hikura said:

must say I enjoyed that

BMORRI said:

Noice

how many chins does that villian have

ikki5 said:

Amazing...

It's always the NX

TheHumbleFellow said:

WOo! That was great!

Kogorn733 said:

that was pretty good!

Oh snap

TingLz said:

Spoiler alert: It's the NX

Maxz said:

Oh no secrets within the ranks

Freeon-Leon said:

Blue_Blur said:

Ooooo... plot twist!

No chicken, no buy

BMORRI said:

Lombardi is an epic last name.

TingLz said:

They didn't show off the chicken mode. Boring

TheHumbleFellow said:

Falco's fine

Freeon-Leon said:

no, I NEED

BMORRI said:

But... crabs.

Vee_Flames said:

I love Falco!!!

Vee_Flames said:

awesome!

Freeon-Leon said:

I want a whole season of this

Silly Fox, you're supposed to use Walker mode to destroy them from the inside.

looks nicer then most cartoons nowadays

BMORRI said:

wtf slippy

Okay, that's honestly high quality animation.

Vee_Flames said:

uh oh. Interruption.

TingLz said:

That's not a barrel roll! This game is full of lies

Yus

Freeon-Leon said:

There it is

TingLz said:

They should just put Slippy on the front so all shots will be aimed at him

Maxz said:

Obligatory evil British guy?

Kogorn733 said:

YES!!!!!!!!!!!

TheHumbleFellow said:

BARREL ROLL

Freeon-Leon said:

Oh you... Slippy

TingLz said:

Truly one full of talents

Vee_Flames said:

wait, what now?!

TingLz said:

And he made that in a bathroom

BMORRI said:

Vee_Flames said:

TingLz said:

What if Wolf comes on screen, says "I can't let you do that Star Fox," and moves the game to NX?

Grumblevolcano said:

NX Fit

BMORRI said:

YES WE DO

HopeNForever said:

Do we need a sequel to Wii Music?

Vee_Flames said:

Grumblevolcano said:

"Unfortunately we have had to delay our unveiling on the NX, here have some more Paper Mario Color Splash footage!"

abe_hikura said:

Shiryu: Oh I believe, when and what it'll be missing will be important lol

Vee_Flames said:

Oh boy. I just created a mess...

BMORRI said:

The NX is the Nintendo Xebra

abe_hikura said:

TingLz said:

I'd totally buy an Italian Nintendo Toaster just to make garlic bread

HopeNForever said:

"It's about time you showed up, Fox! You're the only hope for our World!"

ThomasBW84 said:

lol Vee_Flames

kid icarus is v good

Vee_Flames said:

LIES! The NX is a sandwich with 8GB worth of JAM!

TingLz said:

That took...what...25 years for a new game?

HeCaster101 said:

Thomas keepin' it real

ThomasBW84 said:

My uncle who cleans the toilets at Nintendo's Italian HQ said the cafeteria's rubbish. And that NX is actually a toaster.

Grumblevolcano said:

First Print Edition is certainly coming tomorrow!

TingLz said:

At least it's not as bad as Kid Icarus

gamepad + NLife + big screen = Awesome

HeCaster101 said:

This should be interesting

BMORRI said:

DocGroove said:

HopNForever: I did

Vee_Flames said:

BMORRI said:

Australia is great no guns, no Donald Trump

HopeNForever said:

How many people pre-ordered the Star Fox Zero first print bundle?

Vee_Flames said:

the NX is actually a Wii U that is capable of 8K

Tops said:

Hey, Tom, it's 6pm here

BMORRI said:

Vee_Flames said:

Grumblevolcano said:

All NX games get scrapped in favour of Spongebob

ThomasBW84 said:

Ahoy Tops, top of the morning to ya (or afternoon, or evening)

abe_hikura said:

12k @ 290 FPS VR hologram

Vee_Flames said:

I want to see your faces when the first thing that's shown is actually the NX... XD

BMORRI said:

Hi TOps

DocGroove said:

BMORRI: No

HopeNForever said:

How do you continue after Zero though? It's like the Star Fox canon has been restarted

Tops said:

Hello, all

abe_hikura said:

or a Zero 4k remake! lol

remake

BMORRI said:

Am I the only person that likes Hyrule Warriors Legends?

zero hd remae

ThomasBW84 said:

Well, I hope the next one will be quicker in arriving than Zero, anyway.

abe_hikura said:

Thomas mentioned the NX, Starfox NX = confirmed

TingLz said:

No, Kirby sucks. Get it right!

Vee_Flames said:

Aw man! I want NX news! Nintendo sucks! /sarcasm

nlife tops!

Kogorn733 said:

They'll announce Mother 3, but it will be e3 i think

I mean polygons whole critique if you can call reeked of unprofessionalism

ThomasBW84 said:

Twitch be crazy

HopeNForever said:

Crazy people on Twitch are screaming for Mother 3 on a Star Fox related live stream!

abe_hikura said:

Think it was GI review said it "barely adds to the formula" strange seem to recall them not knocking serious points of all the cods

Kogorn733 said:

I agree completely @Wolfgabe

boom!

Kogorn733 said:

Plus you get a second game tossed in.

The fact that Polygon =actually refused to score this I find apalling

Maxz said:

Let's boom!

Kogorn733 said:

Agreed! Where it lacks in length it makes up for with depth and replayability

ThomasBW84 said:

That's Star Fox!

ThomasBW84 said:

Just saw one review summary that says it's 'short'. Well, yeah, but the levels are fun to play over and over, and over, again.

puck the reviews

Kogorn733 said:

Anyone see the Polygon review? another example that Arthur Gies is a waste of perfectly good carbon

i have 2nd

BMORRI said:

I have first coment

Palom said:

all i get out of this starfox attention is "screw mother 3"

ThomasBW84 said:

The YouTube feed is up, remember to hit play!

Shiryu said:

wow, I'm inspired, I better write that down, I will surely use it in the future

Shiryu said:

best way I can describe "Zero"... you're Luke Skywalker in the X-Wing cokcpit, your friends are the audience of "A New hope" during the death star attack

Shiryu said:

then I look at the video and I see all the real cool stuff I have done in thrid person

Shiryu said:

BTW, I have been making videos of course. This might sound silly, but when I play I am almost 100% looking at the Gamepad

Vee_Flames said:

Or an airplane... the controller scheme is so weird, two people have to use the same controller!!! XD

Shiryu said:

We got tow hands ppl. Its just a question otf getting your brain to work out pitch and yaw with the left hand and thrust and roll with the right.

Vee_Flames said:

LOL! @Flauber

have you tried driving a car? the controller scheme is insane

nah, people just complain a lot about anything, controls are just controls.

Shiryu said:

I actually got Silver on Corneria on my very first try. Again, for me the controls are spot on perfect.

it can't be any harder then the wonderful 101 control wise

Vee_Flames said:

LOL, I guess emoticons don't work here. XD

Vee_Flames said:

i can imagine myself struggling with the controls at first, though...

after i get zero and guard only 1 big nintendo release i know of that i plan to get and thats the zelda game though i do hope they add the mario party games to eshop soon

Not for a good while I'm not. Unless I find it cheap new or second hand

Shiryu said:

to fly a plane you have a joystick for pitch rool and yaw and another stick for thrust. thats it, thats what the Gamepad does in "Zero"

Shiryu said:

if you guys played "Afterbuner" or "Galaxy Force II" on arrcade or evne a PC flight sim or star wars game with a joystick and throttle control, you will be just fine

Vee_Flames said:

I'm planning to buy it! Ive dealt with a lot of awkward controls so I don't see why this should be any differernt

both do look pretty cool

Shiryu said:

and I cant get tired of it... :x

ThomasBW84 said:

Ah yes, of course it has

Shiryu said:

Guard been my life for the past three weeks, Thomas

Shiryu said:

also make sure you grab a Gamepad and try it out, its very hard to explian why the controls work...but they really DO!

ThomasBW84 said:

I'm looking forward to Guard, I haven't played that yet.

Shiryu said:

they are both absolutuely lovely games, much different to comapre side to side, but its Miyamot and Platinum... win/win!

ThomasBW84 said:

Ugh, that's a shame. I thought Damien made clear why he likes it, and I agree with it fully.

Vee_Flames said:

Unlike the calamity that has befallen the comment section of the game's review

ThomasBW84 said:

I think it's excellent, lots of fun and quite intense at times.

Shiryu said:

evening Thomas. yep, dont hat eme pppl, I got the game at lunch time.

would u say zero or guard is better

Vee_Flames said:

yay, something positive!

ThomasBW84 said:

Here here Shiryu!

Shiryu said:

guys! !GUYS! Star Fox Zero is absolutly brilliant!!!!!!!!

ThomasBW84 said:

I think the length is fine, to be honest. It's not like Star Fox has a deep narrative.

Vee_Flames said:

Too short?

ThomasBW84 said:

Yep, 15 minutes then Treehouse

MysteryAozz said:

15 mins, i think.

Vee_Flames said:

how long does the short last?

More excited for the animated short than the game.

MysteryAozz said:

excited

Ahh why does this have to be on so late lol

Vee_Flames said:

I'm good, Kogorn!

Vee_Flames said:

reveal an online mode is in the works, please!

Kogorn733 said:

Sup

Vee_Flames said:

heyo people

Grumblevolcano said:

My favourite is Arbiter's Grounds

Kogorn733 said:

Temple of Time was particularly excellent too

Kogorn733 said:

In fact, I think TP had the most original dungeons in all of the Zelda series

Kogorn733 said:

That's my favorite dungeon in all of Zelda though. Really original

Grumblevolcano said:

The block puzzles!

Grumblevolcano said:

I forgot how confusing Snowpeak Ruins was.

Kogorn733 said:

Still going to enjoy the old-school action though

Kogorn733 said:

I wish they had turned this into more a full-fledged space opera like assault was. Assault was poorly executed in some areas, but it had a lot of great ideas.

ThomasBW84 said:

Yep, just over 50 minutes now

BMORRI said:

This is in about an hour, isn't it?

BMORRI said:

Playing Hyrule Warriors LEgends while waiting xD

BMORRI said:

THanks for that.
