The Star Fox team arrives on Wii U for a new adventure

Fox, Falco, Peppy and Slippy save the Lylat system in this new deep space dogfighting adventure. 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 – aim and shoot enemies in one direction while flying in another. This frees up the TV for a more cinematic flight experience. Then, pilot the Arwing with its new Walker transformation, along with the new Gyrowing and the Landmaster Tank, to traverse interplanetary terrain.

Features:

  • Fan favorite characters return with new and well-known dialogue from Fox McCloud, Slippy, Peppy, Falco and more, which can sound like they’re talking in your ear like a from a headset with clever sound technology.
  • Players can intuitively 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.
  • Replay the same exotic planets with other vehicles and extra missions can be selected on top of going through the story.
  • Two different viewpoints, the traditional style of TV gameplay and the new unique cockpit view on the Wii U GamePad controller combines to create a unique interface to aim and shoot in one direction while flying in another. This frees up the TV for more cinematic moments in a brand-new all range mode.
  • 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.
  • Developed in partnership with PlatinumGames.

Gameplay

The game plays most similarly to Star Fox 64. Players can fly using the Wii U GamePad's build-in gyroscope or with the control stick. In addition, the television screen displays the standard third-person view, while the Wii U GamePad simultaneously displays a first-person view from the vehicle cockpit. Players can use the control sticks to do actions such as U-turn, somersault, and barrel roll. All-range segments also returns.

In addition to Arwings, players can also pilot the Landmaster for ground missions and a new vehicle, the Gyrowing for slower-paced missions. By pressing a button players can transform the Arwing into a Walker form, based on the walker segments from the unreleased Star Fox 2. The Landmaster can also be transformed into a full-flight mode, while the Gyrowing can release a smaller robot, the "Direct-i", which can be piloted independently from the Gyrowing.
