Star Fox Zero is a 3D scrolling shooter video game developed by Nintendo and PlatinumGames for the Wii U game console. After a delay from
November 2015, the game was released worldwide in
April 2016. It is the 6th installment in the
Star Fox series.
Lead producer and supervising director
Shigeru Miyamoto stated the game was neither a prequel nor a strict remake of the first game, while Nintendo stated it was neither a sequel nor a prequel to the series. A standalone tower defense game,
Star Fox Guard, came bundled as a separate disc for the first print edition and as digital download code in later prints.
Star Fox Zero largely follows the classic gameplay of its predecessors, such as
Star Fox 64, in which players control
Fox McCloud as he pilots his Arwing craft through various levels. The game is controlled using the
Wii U GamePad, with the left control stick used to maneuver the craft while gyroscopic controls can be used to aim weapons. A cockpit view is displayed on the GamePad's screen to assist with aiming.
Various elements return from previous games, including Fox's teammates,
Falco, Peppy, and
Slippy, who can assist the player if they protect them from enemy attacks, as well as
Star Wolf team rivals
Wolf O'Donnell,
Leon Powalski,
Pigma Dengar, and
Andrew Oikonny. Some of the game's vehicles can transform in certain situations. For example, the Arwing can transform into the
Walker which was first seen in the unreleased
Super NES video game
Star Fox 2, which lets the player freely walk around on platforms. The Landmaster can transform into the Gravmaster, which can perform extended aerial maneuvers. A new vehicle introduced to the series is the Gyrowing, a drone-like helicopter which can lower a small robot that can enter small spaces and hack into computers. Several level locations have also returned, including
Corneria,
Zoness, and
Titania, while two new locations,
Sector Alpha and
Area 3, have been added. Gameplay footage suggests that the snowy planet
Fichina (
Fortuna in Star Fox 64), the asteroid belt
Meteo, and the missile-wrought
Sector Z may also appear, while a mystical Fortuna returns completely revamped from
Star Fox: Assault.
Players can scan the Fox and Falco Amiibo figurines to unlock the Arwing FX (based on the original
Star Fox game) and the
Black Arwing, which is stronger and faster but takes more damage, respectively.
