StarFox-Online Articles

Interesting to see Miyamoto looking a bit startstruck meeting these people. Also interesting to learn that Miyamoto has had an interest in puppets since childhood.

COMMUNITY CONTENT INITIATIVE

We're looking for any and all Star Fox Zero media. If you wish to contribute, please post your item on  the Community Content board on the forums.

Please check the gallery before submitting images and make sure we do not already have it.

We're mostly looking for screenshots, images, and gameplay videos with good audio.

Nintendo tweeted a Wii U release data chart, and of note Star Fox Command was listed with a launch date of Jun. 25.

Star Fox Command may not be the most-loved game in the series, but at least we're seeing more Star Fox content!

But still, I'd rather see SF64 come to VC.

Star Fox Zero will have a Holiday 2015 release.

It looks like Star Fox Zero will be Nintendo's big game for the year, surprisingly.

But it's good to know that they're still going to bring the game to us this year.

Star Fox for Wii U now has an official title: Star Fox Zero.

Miyamoto says it's not a remake or a sequel.

What we know:

Arwing can transform into a walker like in Star Fox 2.

Landmaster also exists, and can transform into a flying craft.

Gyrowing is a new vehicle, previous known as the "Arwingcopter" in last year's demo. It deploys a little Robot that looks like the offspring of an NES R.O.B and Wall-E.

Star Fox and Star Wolf teams appear to be their SF64 compositions: Fox, Falco, Peppy, Slippy and Wolf, Leon, Pigma, Andrew.

You will have to protect Great Fox from missiles like in SF64 Sector Z

"All Range Mode" exists.

Aparoid-like enemies.

The Nintendo Digital Event starts in just over 2 hours from posting time. It is almost certain that we will be getting news on Star Fox, given that the game is still slated for this year.

I think it is important to remember that what we saw last year was part of a proof-of-concept build. I'm certain that what we will see today will be vastly different. I think we should all remember that. The mechanics presented in that demo are probably the only things to stay. I'm hopeful we'll get a name and some small story details, but we'll see. There really isn't much more I can say about Star Fox, given that we don't know anything. Once things have been revealed, I will be able to provide an opinion with more substance.

Another game to look forward to is Super Mario Maker. What seemed to be a dinky little level maker turns out to be a full-fleged Mario level creation experience capable of doing things that even the Super Mario World ROM hackers can only dream of. I'm really looking forward to this game now, especially after seeing the levels made for the Nintendo World Championships.

I'm not going to make any predictions about new game announcements at this point. Others have done that. But, an interesting tweet from Retro Studios implies that we may finally learn what they are working on.

I recommend SF-O members watch the stream (you can here: http://www.twitch.tv/nintendo ). I will make a post about the Star Fox game, but it probably won't happen until after the event.

Nintendo has announced that worldwide, the Club Nintendo loyalty program, which allowed members to earn "coins" by buying Nintendo products and filling out surveys and use said coins to buy games and trinkets, will be deprecated this year.

Nintendo has said that a new loyalty program will be set up, but did not go into detail.

EDIT: For clarification, this means Club Nintendo is ending. Coins/Stars will not transfer to the new system, so spend them. I can't speak for NCL or NOE, but NOA will be adding more items next month to encourage people to spend all of their coins.

First 4 Figures posted a teaser image on Facebook of an upcoming figure. They claimed it was "harder" to guess, but any Star Fox fan would recognize this immediately:
