Star Fox Zero is so April 2016, especially in this era of the internet rapidly moving on and forgetting about recent releases. Nevertheless the Nintendo / PlatinumGames collaboration hasn't been out that long, and the big N hasn't given up on promoting it quite yet.
As previously reported, Nintendo has brought back the rather neat Star Fox puppets of E3 2015 for some short TV commercials. First of all, here's one from last week that we didn't share until now:
Nintendo of America has now released two more, with the second one even going so far as to get the game's storyline wrong in order to facilitate a joke that makes Falco look like a frat-boy bully. Oh Nintendo!
Nevertheless it's always fun to see these puppets in action. It'll be interesting to see whether the marketing in the US has worked when the NPD results come next week.

Nintendo makes good games, but their commercials make me cringe
The first 2 aren't good but the last one xD
I guess they bought Henson studio's puppets. I want a full Star Fox show in collaboration with Henson magic!
@ThomasBW84 What happened to the Japanese chart results for the past week? Don't they usually come out on Wednesday?
@Ashthearcher I'm the opposite on this one! I think these videos are great, but the latest Starfox game is a hot mess! Haha!
I didn't really enjoy SF:0, but it's nice to see Nintendo spending money on marketing. Those puppets are amazing. lol
That last one is hilarious, lol. I'll get to SF0 soon, stupid backlog.
I see puppets and I think back to that awful e3 last year... then I remember their e3 this year may only be slightly better... ugh what happened to you Nintendo?
I like the last one, and the other two are okay, but I think the intros to them are kinda weird. Golf... Star Fox needs your help! And dance show... Star Fox needs your help! O.o
But Peppy and the spider... priceless. XD
I also think the first two don't do that good of a job of describing the game. Besides "save the galaxy!", nothing else is really mentioned. I feel like someone who has never heard of Star Fox would be totally confused. The last one was clearly for comedy; it catches your attention, and introduces the audience to the characters the best, in my opinion. Hopefully the last one with get the most screen time.
THE GOLF GUY WILL RISE! ALL HAIL THE GOLFER!
Next Star Fox game should feature cutscenes made with puppets.
Best Star Fox to date. I want a sequel ASAP.
These commercials and the animated short are great. Nintendo should hire Production I.G. again so they will make a Starfox anime.Even one of just 12 episodes,but they have to do it.
Lol, the last one is the best! Go Peppy!
I'm absolutely loving the game. Its so ridiculously intense. I find the experience to be unlike anything else I've played.
Nice, very fun. (:
Love these puppets wish they market it here in the UK with them, here's hoping Ninty makes a series out of these puppets.
Idk, these puppets look strange. The face of the Fox puppet is askew, which looks really weird.
I liked the animation short "The battle begins" better.
