This article is about an upcoming game in the Star Fox series set for the Wii U.

Template:GameInfoBox

There is currently a Star Fox game in development for the Wii U, with development headed by Shigeru Miyamoto, with development assistance from Platinum Games, scheduled to be released in Q3 2015.

Story

Little is known about the game's story so far, however it is confirmed that Team Star Fox will comprise of Fox McCloud, Falco Lombardi, Peppy Hare and Slippy Toad, looking much the same as they did in Star Fox 64, implying this game will take place before the events of Star Fox Adventures. Star Wolf will also make an appearance, with Pigma Dengar still on the team.

Gameplay

The game retains its roots as a space-based shooter. Controls are similar to Star Fox 64 3D, in which the buttons and joysticks as well as the gyroscope is used to control the Arwing. Arwings will be able to "morph into a tank", similarly to and inspired by the Star Fox 2 morphing mechanic. In this form, Arwings can "run" around on two feet.

The game also introduces a new vehicle called , taking the form of a helicopter, called the Gyrowing, which is able to comtrol a small robot. The Landmaster also reappears in Star Fox Zero.

It's also been mentioned by Shigeru Miyamoto that gameplay would possibly be broken up into episodic games containing multiple missions, taking inspiration from children's TV show Thunderbirds.

Development History

The game started development on the Wii sometime in 2008, but the team couldn't seem to find a concept that would bring the game together. Sometime in late 2013, they started work again on it, but moving over some of the assets to Wii U. During E3 2014, a picture of the game was shown on Nintendo's Facebook page using Star Fox 64 3D assets, and was further mentioned as being very much in development, stating that they would have more to show in roughly a year. Indeed, Nintendo confirmed that it would be shown at E3 2015.
