Nintendo announced a brand new Star Fox game which will be headed to the Wii U for the holidays. The game will be named Star Fox Zero.<\/p>\n
Fox, Falco, Peppy and Slippy are back to save the Lylat system in this new deep space dogfighting adventure. Players pilot an Arwing in the traditional style of TV game play and, in a new twist, players can use the cockpit view on the GamePad to aim and shoot enemies using the gyro controls. <\/p>\n
Players can pilot an Arwing by simply using both the right and left control sticks as a control stick to perform familiar flight maneuvers, such as the somersault, U-turn and a Barrel Roll. You can pilot the new and improved Arwing with its new Walker transformation and take control of a new Drone type plane, the Gyrowing. The Landmaster Tank returns, equipped with a new, limited flight form.<\/p>\n

Using the Wii U GamePad controller and the TV together creates a unique interface that allows players to experience the game with two different viewpoints within the Arwing \u2013 aim and shoot enemies in one direction while flying in another. <\/p>\n
The game is being developed in partnership with Platinum Games.<\/p>\n
