New Star Fox Zero Details and Date
The delayed Star Fox Zero has a new release date: April 22nd, 2016. This was announced in the new trailer was shown off during the November Nintendo Direct. We also learned a couple of (I think) new things about the game.
- The remote controlled tethered robot that descends from the Gyrowing is called "Direct-i" (and has a very cute voice even in English)
- The Landmaster's flight mode is called "Gravmaster"
- The Landmaster can lock on to 3 enemies at the same time
- The Gyrowing is not a drone after all, but an actual piloted craft (Slippy is shown piloting it during the trailer)
- The cutscenes have a definite graphical upgrade over what we saw at E3
- No mention of Amiibo interaction or online modes, though
Here's a video of the part of the Nintendo Direct about Star Fox, including the parts after the trailer.

Okay, now I’m even happier this was delayed. It’s looking better and better, especially in terms of graphics and how it seems to handle.
4/10
Needs more smart bombs.
Oh. My. GLOB!!! April 22nd is the day before my B-day!!!! I AM SO EXCITEMENT RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111 :D
@earth being
4/10 for what? The game’s delay? The game itself? The lack of Krystal? Or All of Above?
Me: ALL OF ABOVE!
In the Japaneese Nintendo Direct they showed off Star Fox stuff headed to Monster Hunter X.
This game is starting to get better and from the looks of it, this delay could really pay off. I’m sure we’ll hear more on it next year. Still praying for Smash 4 DLC that we get either Wolf or Krystal. What better way to promote Starfox Zero than to do that?
@StarDog Smasher
You know, delays are not all bad! Delays usually mean that the game will have more effort put into it! As for Krystal, it really is a shame that she isn’t in this game, but hey! SFZ is a reboot! There might be more games coming out later, and who knows? Maybe Krystal will be in one of them!! Try to look at the positive side of things! At least there is a new Star Fox game! Be thankful!! :)

Remember Star Fox Zero isn’t even a reboot, it’s a reimagining. Miyamoto said so himself in a interview.
@Lily
Yeah, like Craig said, Zero is not a reboot. It’s a reimagining. Why do people think that it’s a reboot? Seriously, there are fan bases of characters of Krystal, Panther, and (yes) even Tricky. Say what you will, at least Tricky is a helpful character in Adventures. Do I like him? Yes.
So I just had a crazy thought… What if the GyroWing can transform into the Blue Marine, but it hasn’t been revealed yet?
Look at the body of the GyroWing, it looks like the form of the BlueMarine, and if my theory holds any wait I’d be willing to bet that the two rotors fold back somehow to convert to underwater propellers.
@StarDog Smasher
I understand where you’re coming from, I only wish they give Krystal a little bit more backstory of her past such as what happened before Andross destroyed Cerinia and stuff like that. Sure there’s some people who are haters because of how she was portrayed in Star Fox Command (Such as the Pairing of her and Panther and the whole Kursed Scenario) Regardless, Krystal has always been my favorite female character out of all the Female Nintendo characters.
Nice to see a bit better graphics but still having to wait till next year for still no Krystal the delay is not worth it to me.
Wolf better be in and at least have decent parts otherwise I fear half my hopes for the game will be dead.
@Craig
Well I do have a video of a game idea based on Krystal’s backstory on Planet Cerinia. Here’s the link.

I just hope there will be some sort of online support. A dogfight (ha dogfight ^_^) mode online would be fun. I wonder what amino support would add to offer in this game as well. Or a ship customization for online would be sweet! Probably gonna be a offline game though :'(
