Project Giant Robot is a cancelled Wii U game and tech demo developed by Nintendo and headed by Shigeru Miyamoto. The game was originally revealed at E3 2014 alongside fellow demo Project Guard with a launch window set during the first half of 2015. However, the game was not released during that time and was later revealed to be delayed indefinitely[1]. Shigeru Miyamoto later commented in an interview in March 2016 that it had not yet been decided that Project Giant Robot should be a full game[2]. Regardless, the title continued to show up in Nintendo's earnings releases as one of several upcoming titles for the Wii U. After the game was not listed in the company's quarter four 2016 earnings release, Nintendo confirmed that Project Giant Robot had been canceled.[3]
According to Miyamoto, Project Giant Robot was somehow connected to Star Fox Zero.[4]
Gameplay
Players start by using the Wii U GamePad to create their robot out of a selection of parts. Afterward, the player enters a stage, in which they must defeat an opposing robot by knocking them to the ground. Players control their robot with the GamePad, using the control sticks to swing its fists, L and R to move forward and backward, and tilting the GamePad to adjust the robot's positioning and center of gravity. The player can also press A to fire a blast. Similar to Star Fox Zero, the Wii U GamePad's screen gives the player a first-person perspective, while the television screen shows a full view of the area.[5]
