Star Fox Zero (零) is already officially available for preorder at GameStop and Best Buy. It costs $59.99, like most other new Wii U games. The release date is listed as 12/31/2015, but it will more than likely be available either mid-November or early December.

Nintendo just announced a bunch of release dates, including an eShop release of Star Fox Command on June 25th, 2015, less than 8 days away. Given Star Fox Command's touch screen-based controls, and the fact that flying in Star Fox games generally works better on the big screen, this version using the Wii U gamepad and your TV screen might actually be a superior way to play the game. No pricing available yet, but I'd estimate the price at around $10.

For those of you worried that Star Fox games after Star Fox 64 will get retconned because Star Fox Zero occurs in the same timeframe, take heart. They're not even retconning the least favorite Star Fox game of all. Now that GameCube games are also possible on Wii U, I wouldn't be surprised to see Star Fox Adventures or Assault appearing for download either. After all, both were Player's Choice games. I keep telling you guys: Nintendo doesn't make a business of pretending its old games never happened, they make a business out of re-re-re-releasing their old games.

In case you missed it, Nintendo has posted their Digital Event video where Star Fox Zero was initially revealed. See Miyamoto, Iwata, and Reggie as Star Fox character puppets too! Mr. Miyamoto also spends a while talking about the development of the game.

They're showing off high quality images of characters, screenshots, and the vehicles. See these and many more on Nintendo's E3 page!

Don't forget, Star Fox Zero comes out this Christmas!

Platinum Games, most recently famous for their work on Bayonetta 2, are the co-developers of Star Fox Zero. The director of Bayonetta 2 himself, Yusuke Hashimoto, is working on Star Fox Zero. Platinum Games are known for making extremely high quality games. Later today, they will be joining Treehouse Live to talk about the development of Star Fox Zero.

Nintendo lead with Star Fox, complete with a throwback to the original puppet inspiration for Star Fox. Arwings transform into a walker, Landmasters have a flight form, and the new Gyrowing with its tethered robot will be appearing. This is not a sequel or a remake, this is more prequel, set during the Star Fox 64 era (so no Krystal, but that's understandable). The game's visual style is simple, but complete-looking. Lots of epic large bosses and huge stages. Voice acting returns just like Star Fox 64. No announced release date.

Today's the day, my fellow Krystal and Star Fox fans! In less than one hour, we'll be seeing our first glimpses of the next Star Fox game (and maybe Krystal too, fingers crossed). Check the live stream (e3.nintendo.com or twitch.tv/nintendo) and join us in the chat for live reactions with your fellow fans.

It's finally time! Nintendo has prepared several big events for us. (All times are in Pacific time zone, use this for timezone conversions.)

First, on Sunday morning at 7:40AM, Nintendo will give a pre-E3 Smash Bros. Direct. Other than details on Lucas, I don't think we know what they'll be talking about. Here's to hoping it's announcements of Krystal (and other suggested character) DLC! Unfortunately, I won't be around to cover this one live, but I will be keeping my eye on the events as they unfold.

Later that day, starting Sunday sometime after 2:20PM, Nintendo will start up their pre-E3 Treehouse Live show. Don't expect many announcements from this one, but they will probably give a big overview of stuff already revealed.

Right after that, at 3PM, the Nintendo World Championships will start. We only know for sure that Splatoon will be playable, and that seven other secret games are on the roster. Since this competition starts before E3, I sadly don't think we can expect to see competitive play of the new Star Fox game.

Finally, the main event! 9AM on Tuesday, Nintendo broadcasts its Digital Event. This will probably where we get our first glimpse of Star Fox for the Wii U. Further announcements and gameplay footage should show up throughout the next two days.

Streams

All streams and video will be posted on Nintendo's official E3 site, e3.nintendo.com. Nintendo's official YouTube channel looks like it will broadcast the events as well.

Hanging Out

If you want to hang out with other Krystal and Star Fox fans, myself included, I have a group chatroom ready to go. I will post it tomorrow. No need to sign up or anything.
