Brand New Star Fox Zero Trailer and Full Nintendo Direct Posted
Epic! Also, in case you missed it, check out the Nintendo Direct. Star Fox was their first topic, so start at the beginning!
Star Fox Zero is Ready
The Nintendo Direct just kicked off with Star Fox. Here's what we learned:
- Fortuna revealed. Katt is in it, and it is full of bioweapons.
- Lots of branching paths. The Teleporters are part of it. Teleporters appear to allow branching paths into completely different levels in some cases.
- Area 3 revealed.
- Some alternate paths are only available after beating the game the first time.
- Target Mode control system (unknown how it works).
- Two player mode. One flies, one aims and shoots.
- Fox Amiibo lets you use classic Arwing from SNES.
- Project Guard is now Star Fox Guard: minigame in Star Fox Zero. You help a Grippy Toad (Slippy's relative) stop a robot invasion on a base. Comes as a packaged set. Buying them separately digitally is possible for a lower individual price.
- April 22nd release date reconfirmed.
Also, the official Star Fox Zero site has been updated. New data there:
- Star Fox Zero can be purchased by itself from the Nintendo eShop for $49.99, while the packaged version comes with the Star Fox Guard game at a suggested retail price of $59.99.
- Star Fox Guard is included in the retail version of Star Fox Zero. A standalone digital version of the game can also be purchased through the Nintendo eShop for $14.99. Customers that purchase the digital version of either Star Fox Zero or Star Fox Guard will receive an automatic $4.99 Nintendo eShop discount toward the purchase of the other game.
- Lots of data and images for Star Fox Guard.
Also shown off in the Nintendo Direct:
- New Paper Mario Color Splash
- My Nintendo mentioned
- Pokken Tournament discussed
- And lots more!
March Nintendo Direct on Thursday!
Nintendo just announced a surprise Nintendo Direct for tomorrow, March 3rd at 2 PM PST. There are reliable rumors saying that Star Fox Zero will feature prominently in the presentation. Other rumors indicate that Star Fox Zero might be delayed again, or possibly held back to release on the Nintendo NX. I think both might be a possibility, given that leak. If they are discussing something called "Star Fox Zero First Print Edition", I wonder if that means they'll release Star Fox Zero both on the Wii U and Nintendo NX, in a similar fashion to the release of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess.
Either way, I want to watch this Nintendo Direct with you guys, as always. Let's do a chatroom watch party!

Epic Star Fox Fanfilm “ENDGAME”
Fox is lost in space, no teammates to help him, after a truly devastating battle. But there's hope. Fox will never give up. Just gotta trust those instincts!

Two Fox McCloud Statues Arrived
My Fox McCloud statues arrived last week. That's right, I bought 2 of them! The one that I opened is either number 793 or 193 (I can't tell exactly) of 5000. Anyway, I thought I'd do a simple unboxing, featuring my Fox and Falco Amiibos. View the full post to see.

First4Figures Arwing Available for Preorder
First4Figures just put an Arwing statue up for pre-order on their website. The model is based on the Star Fox 64 3D Arwing mesh. The statue is HUGE, with a wingspan of 18 inches and a length of 12 inches. There are two variations. The first is the standard Arwing retailing for $280. The second is the Arwing Exclusive, which features an LED lit engine for a whopping $300.
Though I'd love to have one of these lovely statue for my collection, with the high price and my access to a 3D printer, I just can't justify a purchase. After all, I could make one twice that size for a fraction of the cost with enough patience.
However, there was one bit in the description that was highly interesting:
Dare we dream of a First4Figures Krystal statue? I would purchase one of those in a heartbeat!
