* <b>March 03, 2016</b> - Despite various rumors in previous weeks about a second delay, today's Nintendo Direct presentation in all regions had reaffirmed that ''[[Star Fox Zero]]'' will be released as scheduled back in November 2015. The game will go on sale on April 21, 2016 in Japan, and on April 22, 2016 in North America and Europe. In addition to this, Nintendo officially announces the first spin-off in the series - ''[[Star Fox Guard]]'' - a [[Wii U]] tower defense strategy game featuring [[Slippy Toad]] with his uncle [[Grippy Toad|Grippy]]. The game will be primarily available from the Nintendo eShop, but it was also confirmed a physical game disc will available in a limited two-pack bundle with ''Star Fox Zero'' at launch. Both games will launch simultaneously in all regions. ''Star Fox Guard'' was originally presented as a tech demo by producer [[Shigeru Miyamoto]] at E3 2014 under the working title ''Project Guard'', but only today was it confirmed as an official Star Fox title. Other new details from the Nintendo Direct include the branching paths and amiibo functionality in ''Star Fox Zero''. | |||
* <b>November 13, 2015</b> - After unveiling a brand new cinematic trailer for ''[[Star Fox Zero]]'', today's Nintendo Direct presentation in all regions confirmed the new release date as April 2016, with the North American Direct going a step further stating the game will be out by April 22, 2016. ''Star Fox Zero'' was originally expected to be released this month, before producer [[Shigeru Miyamoto]] delivered the unfortunate news that the game's development period was extended, and will not be released until Q1 2016. | |||

* <b>September 18, 2015</b> - '''BREAKING NEWS''': ''[[Star Fox Zero]]'' producer [[Shigeru Miyamoto]] personally appeared via the official social media channels today to personally issue an apology for a hard decision he made in the past week. Despite the fact the game was on schedule to release at the previously posted date of November 20, 2015, due to an "unprecedented discovery" during development that the two-screen experience could be improved, and further polish the game overall, Miyamoto reluctantly decided to delay the game's release, promising a not-so-long-off window of the first quarter of 2016 as a new release schedule, keeping in line with the promise that the game will still be technically released before the upcoming [[zeldawiki:Zelda Wii U|''The Legend of Zelda'' game for Wii U]]. This is a reflection of a quote Miyamoto said in 2012, "A delayed game is eventually good, but a rushed game is forever bad." | * <b>September 18, 2015</b> - '''BREAKING NEWS''': ''[[Star Fox Zero]]'' producer [[Shigeru Miyamoto]] personally appeared via the official social media channels today to personally issue an apology for a hard decision he made in the past week.

* <b>July | * <b>July 05th, 2015</b> - NIWA added a new member yesterday - it sure has been a while: Inkipedia, a wiki about the Wii U game ''[[splatoonwiki:Splatoon|Splatoon]]''. We do not know yet if ''Splatoon'' will have any sequels and/or related new entries in the future, but it is amazing that a brand new IP from Nintendo could garner such a grand following and online community in a very short amount of time - enough to launch an independent wiki site about a sole game, at least. Due to the overwhelming success of the first game, it would not be surprising if Nintendo are planning to release more entries in their successful new IP after ''Splatoon''. | ||
