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 an upcoming title for Wii U up until the fourth quarter 2016, when it was removed; when asked why, Nintendo responded that "we made this decision after considering our overall product and development strategy."[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]
