Star Fox Zero Release Date Announced

Star Fox Zero has a release date of April 22, 2016 exclusively for Wii U. Finally reviving the adventures of Fox, Falco, Slippy and Peppy Hare for the first time since Star Fox 64! Notwithstanding previous Star Fox games of course, like Star Fox Command (2006, DS), Star Fox Assault (GameCube, 2005) and Star Fox Adventures (2002, GameCube); While they were all good, they lacked the Miyamoto touch & Nintendo pedigree. So in effect, this is the first TRUE Star Fox we’ve seen in a long time. If you missed the 64 version, it was recently re-released as Star Fox 64 3D for 3DS in 2012.
