It’s happening, it’s finally happening!
Kicking off its E3 showcase today, Nintendo finally unveiled the next entry in theStar Foxseries.
The new project is calledStar Fox Zeroand it’s coming exclusively to Wii U this winter. Nintendo is developing it in collaboration withPlatinum Games.
In addition to showing the classic third-person vantage point on the television,Zerotakes advantage of the Wii U GamePad by simultaneously displaying a cockpit view in your hands.
One button controls all the weapons fire, while the rest allow players to transform the Arwing into a walker, landmaster, or gyrowing. The analogs, meanwhile, act as as flight stick and throttle, controlling speed and aerial maneuvers like flips.
Miyamoto says this isn’t a sequel or remake, but it’s own thing. Moreover, the kanji character for “zero” reminded him of a fox tail. So that’s apparently how it got its moniker.
