Project Giant Robot is a Wii U tech demo developed by Nintendo and headed by Shigeru Miyamoto. Initially revealed at E3 2014 alongside other title Project Guard with a launch window set during the first half of 2015, 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 has not yet been decided that Project Giant Robot should be a full game[2].
According to Miyamoto, this game is somehow connected to Star Fox Zero.[3]
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 gives a full, third-person perspective.[4]
