If dubstep/glitch music is your thing, here's a cool Star Fox song by Nokae just posted by GameChops.

Since I won't be able to watch the Nintendo livestream when it's happening, why not watch it with Abdallah? He will be doing live viewing and reactions to the animated short "Star Fox Zero: The Battle Begins!". He will then be reacting to the Treehouse livestream afterwards. Head over to the video if you want some people to chat with as you watch.

The hits keep coming! Check out Channy & Kimberly's fully animated Star Fox anime intro in a classic 80s style. Krystal even makes an awesome appearance!

Thanks to hope.n.forever for the heads up!

Who wants gratuitous, over-the-top dogfights between Arwings and Tie Fighters?! That's RIGHT, you do! Cheese aside, the mid-air Landmaster rescue is pretty cool. Video by King Bob Videos, who also did a live-action Super Smash Bros fanfilm featuring Star Fox moments too.

Fun.com just posted a huge infographic that examines all the Star Fox games, all of the Star Fox cameos (certainly all the ones I knew about), and associations with other games and events. Basically, it's a full history lesson on Star Fox in one image. Check it out in glorious full resolution.

How about it Star Fox historians? Did they miss anything?

Here it is: likely the final roundup of Star Fox Zero and Star Fox Guard news prior to the game launch. Enjoy!

Motion Controls Learning Curve

Many different people who have access to early editions of Star Fox Zero have stated that they fear players will be turned off by the motion controls. Not because they are bad. Indeed, the motion controls, and specifically the ability to aim in a different direction from your flying direction, is required to actually beat many of the bosses. To put it simply: Star Fox Zero controls must be learned.

This is not necessarily a bad thing. We all had to learn how to use 3D controls when games started shifting from 2D to 3D. We had to learn dual analog controls for first-person gamepad games. People expressed similar problems with having to learn the use of the new Steam controller with its non-tactile tactile feedback. No doubt there will be a learning curve on VR games as they start to discover different visual mechanics in those types of games.

In this age of instant gratification, Star Fox Zero actually requires some patience and time to master. If you find yourself frustrated with the controls, please take heart. Everyone else had to struggle through it too. Once it clicks, you'll be more powerful than you could ever be if you were only able to aim where you were flying.

Update
Now that the game has been out for a bit, I'm unpinning this post.

The hype just keeps escalating! Nintendo has made a Star Fox short film (using cell-shaded graphics) to promote the coming launch of Star Fox Zero. They will show off the full film April 20th at 6PM Eastern (3PM Pacific). Right after, there will be a live Nintendo Treehouse event where Nintendo staffers will talk about Star Fox Zero and Star Fox Guard.

Watch here on April 20th!

Sadly, I might not be able to catch the livestream as it happens. Otherwise I would have loved to do a watch-chat with you all. But I hope all of you will watch and enjoy.
