Bayonetta Miiverse Stamps Found Inside Star Fox Zero

Bayonetta Miiverse Stamps Found Inside Star Fox Zero

, , , , , , , , 0

Star Fox Zero has been out a scant 48 hours and tinkerers are already finding oddities within the game code. The strangest so far? This: Miiverse stamps for Bayonetta 2 have been found inside Fox’s new title, inaccessible within the game proper. You’ve got a magic symbol, Jeanne, an un-weaponized stiletto, and Bayo dressed like Mario. Why would they be there? Well….remember when an Arwing was found in the code for Ocarina of Time? It proved the game was built upon a foundation of Star Fox 64. Both Bayonetta 2 and Star Fox Zero were collaborations between Nintendo and Platinum Games. Is this an indication that Star Fox Zero was built with the Bayonetta 2 engine? Maybe, maybe not. The stamps were found and posted by a Twitter hacker called Exploit Apologist, and he was asked if he found any more clues suggesting this. “Well, it uses none of Nintendoware, but Wwise for audio, CPK archives, lines up pretty well.” But not enough to be a smoking gun. Wwise is

Star Fox Zero Is "Reimagining" of Star Fox 64

Star Fox Zero is heading to Wii U on April 22nd, but fans are still curious as to what exactly Star Fox Zero is. The name implies a prequel of sorts, and yet this kind of looks like a sequel in some ways. During an interview with Time Magazine, Star Fox Producer Shigeru Miyamoto revealed that it’s neither. But rather, a reimagining of a classic title: “We thought it would be a good opportunity to go back to the roots of Star Fox. The game itself is not a Star Fox ‘4’ or ‘5’, and it’s not a new spinoff. It really is going back to the roots, and that’s where the ‘Zero’ comes from.” He also notes that the true crux of this game, and its story, lies within the relationships between the characters. For the Star Fox story, what’s really important are the relationships between General Pepper and Andross and Fox and his father. I didn’t want to try to tell a new story, so by keeping those

Star Fox Zero May Have Online Play

, , , , , , 0

In the modern age of gaming, it is rare for big name titles to not have some type of online play. There are exceptions of course, but, the age of playing with your friends, or even just battling people from all over the world, is now such a time honored tradition, it’s weird when certain games don’t have it. Especially, when those games have the mechanics for potentially fantastic multiplayer. Such was the case when Nintendo revealed last year that Star Fox Zero would not have online play. This boggled the minds of gamers for several reasons. Not the least of which was that the 3DS remake of Star Fox 64 did have online play, and, the Wii U had proven to be a very competent online playing device. Thus, the idea of this new title not having online battles, whether it be local, co-op, or full on online, was almost ludicrous. Now though, via the delay that pushed the release from November last year to Spring this year, a multiplayer

Star Fox Zero Delayed To 2016

In a message on the Nintendo Console Gaming Facebook Page, Shigeru Miyamoto made a special announcement about the release date of Star Fox Zero: “We have been developing Star Fox Zero for Wii U with the aim of releasing it this year. Although we felt that the development had been progressing well, we now believe that we will need a little more time to work on areas such as the unprecedented discovery that we want players to experience in the game by using two screens, and further polishing the level designs and perfecting the tone of the cut scenes. While we have already reached the stage where it would be technically possible to release the title in time for the year-end holiday season, we want to polish the game a bit more so that players will be able to more smoothly grasp the new style of play that we are proposing. To the people looking forward to the launch of the game this holiday season, I am very sorry. Star

Sad but true — you’ll have to wait a little longer for Star Fox Zero. Nintendo boss and Star Fox creator Shigeru Miyamoto posted this on Facebook last night: I made a big decision last week. We have been developing Star Fox Zero for Wii U with the aim of releasing it this year. Although we felt that the development had been progressing well, we now believe that we will need a little more time to work on areas such as the unprecedented discovery that we want players to experience in the game by using two screens, and further polishing the level designs and perfecting the tone of the cut scenes.

Nintendo Announces Release Date For Star Fox Zero and More

, , , , , 0

Nintendo has come out of nowhere today with a press release to unveil and confirm release dates for many of its big titles for both the Wii U and the 3DS later this year. Chief among these release dates is easily Star Fox Zero, which was officially unveiled at E3 this past year and given a “Holiday 2015” release date. Star Fox Zero has now been confirmed to be coming out on November 20th. This is surprising because usually a “Holiday” tag means December or January. In addition, Nintendo revealed the box art for the game, which you can see below. Another surprise was the reveal that Devil’s Third will indeed be coming to the US (contrary to rumors that it wasn’t) and will arrive on December 11th. This is interesting as that’s just a week after Xenoblade Chronicles X arrives on Wii U. Adding to the fun for Wii U is the release of Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water, which launches on October 22. It will be a free-to-start game. Players will be

Star Fox Zero E3 2015 Preview

One of the biggest attractions at this year’s E3 was the playable demo of Star Fox Zero for Nintendo’s Wii U console. This season there was a dearth of new, quality games that were actually available to play on the floor. So, the fact that an actual demo was available to play for Star Fox Zero on the show floor was pretty exciting. Star Fox is one of the classic, marquee franchises for Nintendo, so I am happy to see the series finally make its return for a traditional update on the Wii U. Star Fox 64 is one of my favorite video game experiences of all time, so I was anxious to see how a new version of Star Fox would stack up against its predecessors. The Wii U demo at E3 featured three different missions: a Training stage; a mission in familiar Corneria; and a Space Battle stage. The Training mission allows players to get acclimated to the new gameplay and controls. Star Fox Zero heavily utilizes the Wii

Star Fox Zero Could Feature Co-Op, Other Control Options

Star Fox Zero has been getting a lot of attention since it’s “official” reveal yesterday at the Nintendo Digital Event. Sadly, not all of it has been good. Some gamers aren’t thrilled with how it looks currently, and the news that the game won’t feature online multiplayer (at present) isn’t filling many with joy. That being said, project leader Shigeru Miyamoto is open to broadening the scale of Star Fox Zero, in a interview with IGN, he noted some other ways he could please gamers beyond a solid single player campaign, such as local 1v1 battles: “It’s difficult to have two people playing when you need two screens to play for one person, so it’s definitely something that we’re thinking about,” Miyamoto explained. Or, maybe having a special control scheme that’ll actually allow to people to control one Arwing: “We basically created this game as one you need the GamePad to play, but there is a secret,” he hinted. “There is another option.” “As one kind of variation, we were thinking about a

Though it wasn’t revealed in the Nintendo E3 Digital Event itself, the Treehouse Event revealed that Star Fox Zero is actually being made in collaboration with Platinum Games. Platinum Games is the team behind Wonderful 101 and the Bayonetta franchise. With Star Fox being a fan-beloved franchise, you’d think they’d want to keep it in house, and at first, they almost did. “We didn’t really look around at that many different places,” Shigeru Miyamoto explained to IGN. “Our first instinct was to try and find an appropriate team within Nintendo. One place we kind of considered was Monolith Soft.” However, as they continued to think about what the game should be about, and what they should focus on, Platinum became the clear choice. Miyamoto added: “But it kind of came down to to there wasn’t really a place we wanted to work with other than Platinum just because they are so committed to creating exciting visuals. We kind of really wanted to improve the visual quality of the game.” Miyamoto also
