The last, true Star Fox game - titled Star Fox Assault - was released back in 2005. Since then, it's been nothing but spin-offs and remakes. It's been nearly ten years...but the wait is finally over: Nintendo just announced that a brand-new, full-fledged Star Fox game is on the way to the Wii U!
Now called Star Fox Zero, Nintendo's newest game is a return to form for the series: there's no overblown RPG elements or watered-down portable experience. It's clear that Star Fox Zero is being designed from the ground up as a true successor to Star Fox 64 - that being said, there's plenty here that fans have never seen in any Star Fox game.
This is far more than another simple on-rails shooter: get ready for dual screens, giant bosses, mechs and brand-new transforming vehicles!
In prior games, specialized vehicles were limited to specifically-designed stages - but that's not the case in Star Fox Zero. From the looks of things, players will be able to choose whichever vehicle they want to pilot in previously-cleared levels, meaning that it's entirely possible to bring the Landmaster tank into space on a second run. Replayability has always been a huge selling point for Star Fox games, and it's good to see that the same will hold true for Star Fox Zero.
It's been a long, long time since fans were able to strap into an Arwing and do a barrel roll - thankfully, it won't be much longer before they can do it again. Star Fox Zero will be available on Wii U sometime later this year.
