 * <b>April 18, 2016</b> - Along with a teaser trailer, Nintendo of America officially announced ''[[Star Fox Zero: The Battle Begins]]'' today. ''Star Fox Zero: The Battle Begins'' is a promotional anime short film, and a collaboration effort between producer [[Shigeru Miyamoto]], and [[wikipedia:Production I.G|Production I.G]] alongside subsidiary [[wikipedia:Wit Studio|Wit Studio]]. The short will have its world premiere live on April 20 at 3 pm PT, following by a live stream of [http://live.nintendo.com/ Nintendo Treehouse: Live] demonstrating ''[[Star Fox Zero]]'' and ''[[Star Fox Guard]]''. Production I.G is well known for other animation works based on both manga and video games, such as the anime adaptations of [[wikipedia:Ghost in the Shell|''Ghost in the Shell'']] and [[wikipedia:Attack on Titan|''Attack on Titan'']].
+* <b>March 21, 2016</b> - [http://www.nintendo-europe.com/ Nintendo of Europe] announced today that ''[[Star Fox 64]]'' will be available on the Nintendo eShop as a [[Wii U]] Virtual Console title on March 24, 2016 for a promotional price of only €4.99 / £4.49 until April 21, 2016, one day before the expected release of ''[[Star Fox Zero]]''; the price will afterwards revert to the standard Nintendo 64 Virtual Console game price of €9.99 / £8.99, so you better hurry and take advantage of this offer! In addition, for the first time ever, Europeans can play the U.S. version of ''Star Fox 64'' at its glorious full 60 Hz! If you previously purchased ''Lylat Wars'' from the Wii Shop Channel on or transferred to the same Wii U console, you can get the Nintendo eShop re-release at only a fraction of the price as any other Nintendo 64 title, despite it being the U.S. version with the proper "Star Fox 64" moniker.
 * <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 25, 2015</b> - [http://www.nintendo.com.au/ Nintendo Australia] has confirmed they are attending the [http://www.ebexpo.com.au/ 2015 EB Games Expo] at the Sydney Showgrounds from October 2 until October 4, 2015. They will be hosting various gaming competitions and are going to demo a wide array of available and upcoming titles for Wii U and Nintendo 3DS, with ''[[Star Fox Zero]]'' included. If you live close by to Sydney, if not in Australia in general, do not miss this opportunity.
-* <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."
