Six-minute trailer provides overview of upcoming Star Fox games.
Nintendo has released a new set of details, screenshots, and a trailer for its upcoming Wii U games Star Fox Zero and Star Fox Guard.
Get the information below.Star Fox ZeroStar Fox Zero and Star Fox Guard are due out for Wii U on April 22 in North America and Europe.
In the action-packed universe of Star Fox Zero, the TV displays a cinematic view from behind the Arwing while the Wii U GamePad puts players straight into the gunner’s seat, complete with immersive audio and intuitive motion controls for pinpoint aiming.
A range of training missions help new recruits to master the game’s unique two-screen gameplay, and as their skills improve, players can return to these training missions to rack up better scores, then take what they’ve learned into the main game to discover new areas and beat their previous best performances.
As players progress through the game they’ll be able to return to earlier missions to find hidden collectibles and alternative routes that offer brand new challenges.
For instance, the standard route through the bioweapon-filled planet Fortuna ends with a climactic battle against the imposing Monarch Dodora, but after clearing a certain story mission, confident pilots can return to Fortuna and choose to branch off in pursuit of Star Wolf instead. With multiple paths through the game bringing new challenges and surprises, there’s one to suit every skill level and play style.
Pilots up for an even fiercer challenge can tap in their Falco amiibo to unlock the Black Arwing, which has more powerful weapons but weaker defences, making it a potent but fragile weapon. Tapping the Fox amiibo unlocks a retro Arwing styled after the original Super NES Star Fox game, complete with retro music, to be used in the first Corneria stage.
Star Fox Guard
Launching alongside Star Fox Zero is the companion game Star Fox Guard, which puts players in the ultimate security guard job – defending mining sites against waves of robot invaders. The TV screen displays a bank of 12 surveillance camera feeds, each monitoring a different part of the mining site, and it’s up to players to switch between cameras to spot enemies and blast them before they reach the central tower It’ll take supreme awareness and multi-tasking skills to fend off the relentless robot approach, so it helps to have friends on-hand to call out camera numbers that show approaching enemies.
Help is also on hand via the Fox and Falco amiibo, which can each be tapped once per day to call in team Star Fox for a powerful air strike that destroys attacking robots.
Successfully clearing missions bestows rare metals, which count towards unlocking additional missions and cameras with special abilities, like slowing enemies down or freezing them in place, adding another layer of strategy to the action.
My Squad mode also lets keen tacticians create and upload their own enemy attack patterns to challenge others around the world, or take on other players’ best efforts. Meanwhile, the Star Strategists feature is updated every day to offer a popular challenge from across the globe.
Fans who purchase Star Fox Zero can get a taste of Star Fox Guard’s strategic action with an exclusive downloadable demo, only accessible though the main menu of Star Fox Zero. Save data can be carried over to the full version, so tacticians can pick up where they left off.
From April 22, Wii U owners can pick up Star Fox Zero and Star Fox Guard in a limited First Print edition including both games on separate Game Discs, and an exclusive SteelBook case. This package is the only way to get a physical copy of Star Fox Guard, so collectors won’t want to miss out. Star Fox Guard will also be available as a download code at retail.

In a new video by Digital Foundry, we get a look at an analysis of Star Fox Zeros frame rate, and if it met Nintendo and PlatinumGames target goal of 60 frames per second.
[YT]pNdQBY60Ru8[/YT]
Unfortunately, the game struggles to maintain that target of 60 FPS. In the video, we get to see footage of both the Corneria and Sector Alpha stages, in which the FPS fall to 50 and sometimes even 40 respectively.
This loss of frame rate can be blamed on the simple fact that Star Fox Zero is outputting to two different devices: a TV and the Wii U GamePad.
Star Fox Zero is scheduled to release on April 21st in Japan and worldwide on April 22nd for the Wii U.

Apparently Best Buy isn’t content with having just one Black Friday sale a year. Nope, they’re now hosting one tomorrow titled the Black Friday in July sale. However, just like the real Black Friday sales, the deals have already started on Thursday (today) as part of an Early Access for all “My Best Buy” members.
Just login with a My Best Buy membership account (or create a free one) and you’ll find some of the best video game prices for Summer 2016.
What’s really striking are the handful of Wii U game discounts that rarely go on sale. We’re are now seeing new lows on Xenoblade Chronicles X, Yoshi’s Wolly World, Star Fox Zero, all with a drop to $29.99. You’ll even get a further 20% off if you’re a paid member of Best Buy’s Gamers Club Unlocked program, dropping the $30 titles to only $24 in price. Other platform picks would be Bloodborne or Until Dawn for PS4 at only $14.99 – or $11.99 if you have GCU.
In other noteworthy deal news this week there are some decent console hardware on sale, plus PC game Summer Sale deals (which we mentioned briefly earlier this week). The console hardware deals are almost exclusively tied to eBay with a “White Box” but brand new PS4 selling for $303, or a refurbished White Wii U Deluxe + 2 games for $225. On the PC front Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen is cheapest ever with a drop to $17 while this week’s release of I Am Setsuna is 20% off at GMG.
Game deals brought to you by the crew at Dealzon. Disclaimer: sales from certain retailer help support Siliconera.
