The Wii U console’s 2015 library of upcoming games just got smaller. Nintendo has confirmed that Star Fox Zero won’t be released this year as originally planned. It is now scheduled to launch during the first quarter of 2016, but specific details have yet to be announced. The decision to delay the game was made by Nintendo producer Shigeru Miyamoto, who shared the following message via Nintendo’s official Facebook page:
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. 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 Fox Zero is going to bring new game play and experiences that take it far beyond the framework established by Star Fox 64. All the members of the development team are doing our best so that the final product will not betray your expectations. And the game will not be delayed for a very long time – we’re aiming to launch the game in Q1 2016. Please stay tuned for further announcements.
My heart stopped when I saw this appear in my notifications…
Thank god! Now I actually have a little more faith in this game. Miyamoto heard the complaints and is gonna polish the game further. Good deal.
Yeah. If any game needs a delay, it’s this one.
That’s what I’m hoping. I want this game to be awesome. And from the internet buzz it’s been getting, expectations were not exactly awesome. So hopefully they make this game what it is. No disrespect meant, but I believe this is where Iwata would come in and say “Please understand.” Haha. What a catchphrase. Oh well. RIP.
And watch when this game is pushed back and still looks and plays exactly the same as of now. Ya gonna be even more disappointed than ever unless you’re still that delusional to believe Nintendo still cares about its “fans” that almost no longer exists and in its place is a group of fools.
Shut Up. Nintendo is awesome and you’re just a dumb little butthurt man.
As “butthurt” as the nimrods still saying Wii U is “awesome” after they just delayed yet another “hyped” game into 2016? lol
Console isn’t “awesome” as on “hyped” game is delayed?
Suppose, for example, the PS3 is not “awesome” because The Last Guardian (a very “hyped” game) was delayed for the best part of a decade. Or any console, ever, that’s had a game delayed?
And you have the nerve to call others names? Dear me.
And WTF is The Last Guardian? It’s not even as interesting to me and mostly everyone forgot about it.
We’ve had conversations before where I was very critical of Nintendo. We share the same attitude toward Nintendo. Why would you think I am delusional or any of the sort. All I said is I hope this game turns out good. I have this and Zelda left. After them, I might not be playing video games anymore. Mainly because I have lost faith in Nintendo and felt betrayal over the years. I want this game to turn out well, but I’m not delusional about Nintendo by any means.
You felt betrayed but why not stop there? I stopped right after E3 revealed everything to me.
I have the Wii U still, so I may as well get the last two games I want. After that, I’m 90% sure I am done with gaming.
Sell it now or it’ll be worth crap than it is now.
Same here. I was hoping it was a typo but no it’s for real and I’d be lying if I said I’m wasn’t disappointed. Well, at least now they have the time to polish up the game and maybe add an online multiplayer mode to satisfy these people who were constantly crying and bitching about it.
Those people who were “crying and bitching” are the reason why the game won’t be shit. Your welcome you cunt.
Precisely!
…Though I’m not sure why everyone was blowing the graphics out of proportion and over the possibility that there was not going to be online play.
honestly a starfox with online is just as needed as level sharing in Mario maker and online in spaltoon. plus starfox offers several vehicles which could mean tank battles, ship battles, drone battles, exe. or even mixed team battles (king of the hill) yea starfox needs online. but overall I’m glad the game is getting extra attention, I rather hear its being delayed a few months rather then not coming.
The fans got their way and fanboys didn’t boohoo now maybe we will have a Nintendo classic instead of classic Nintendo trash that fanboys gobble up. Anyone who didn’t see a delay coming doesn’t know Nintendo and hasn’t been gaming with them long. Fuck you fanboy.
oh man this is nintendos death rattle. first no zelda now this. i’ll be spending this holiday with playstation. fuck nintendo you are your own worst enemy.stop making shit consoles and spend more time on software. i had to laugh.
NX launch title! Calling it right now!!
…Its coming 1st half of 2016
we’re aiming to launch the game in Q1 2016.
They may port it but not a dual release
I could see them finalizing on NX hardware already and working on new games for it. I wouldn’t be surprised if star fox and Zelda are being made to be on those systems. but they would be either enhanced versions of the wii U games or just ports. I dont see them canceling on wii U. simply because NX has not a single unit out and just about everyone who bought a wii has bin waiting for Mario kart, smash, …..and of course Zelda and starfox. so its pretty much a given that wii U owners are going to go out and get them. it would make no sense to just sell them on a new system with no customers yet. again I could see ports or enhanced additions as launch tittles for the NX but they would be games already on Wii U
1st quarter of 2016, so before march
That’s my thought they will keep delaying it till the NX comes out.
Well…you’d be wrong.
Beginning to sound like it.
Online Multiplayer confirmed.
All the pessimistic ppl can suck it good!
Are you serious? The pessimists just had their worries confirmed. This only proves they were right you idiot.
Fanboys can’t come up with anything to defend this lol
Are you talking to yourself or staging a a scene? Either way, you’re stupid.
Good, hopefully i will look better and polished and it gives hope to a walking mode, i love exploring the ground as Fox. Let’s see what changes the delay brings. Also an online mode would be fantastique!!
Doubt there will be on foot missions
I loved adventures and assault 😭 i would love them to get some of these games ideas.
Ehh Assault and adventure kinda got fox in the runt …and command didn’t help. I don’t mind the idea of on foot, but there was too much in assault and adventure( which was more of a zelda game)
Cause you’re fucking 19 and don’t know what a real star fox game is. Star fox adventures isn’t even star fox, it’s dinosaur planet with star fox characters slapped on the last minute. You are a little bitch, certainly no boss though fucking git. Teenagers have no say here.
Wouldn’t the Walker count as being “on foot?”
I dont know, Nintendo likes to have lots of hidden content in its games. its not all that surprising to find out that their may be other vehicles, some sort of character missions or online with the different vehicles .
Poor Fox… Well on to next year then!
lol First Zelda now star fox, they’re nothing but promises
Nintendo has always delayed games, why the surprise now
oh yeah Nintendo has always been this kind of lying asshole just to get people to buy the WiiU
You don’t understand what quality comes first really means.
their used to getting rushed out games like watch dogs why do think they always hang around here instead of playing their ps4 games because most of them are crap
No offense, but Nintendo doesn’t know what project management means. If I hit my deadlines like Nintendo hits theirs, I’d be fired.
Do you think that means I can do a shitty job unless they give me more time? No. Absolutely nothing against you, your comment triggered my rant, but is certainly not the target.
I know Video game programming isn’t quite the same as online marketing and ecommerce, but they really need to learn what I learned about car repairs…if I think it will take me two hours, it will take me 4.
Year after year after year after year… Should we be used to it? Meh. Maybe. But they should take ownership for sucking hard at project management.
He said he was sorry, it was a hard decision, and I Agree, this is a game that could benefit from a delay, I’m glad he made that decision, but goddamn if those motherfuckers are not the masters of delay and disappointment.
And based on “quality” standards, Wii U did lack on that field and attempted to draw in the same casual fucks that ditched them from Wii for iPads and mobile garbage in the first place.
Because the half delusional fans still being stupid enough to stay on pointless Wii U is acting shocked when they should’ve just leave and avoid the headache.
Maybe to release a good game with good graphics !!!
Look at MarioKart 8 😉
So I hope it will be good …
Finally it’s a good decision!!!
If they are delaying it for the NX they sure as hell had better do something about those graphics.
Not really because I care about it or anything but it’s just sooooooo tiring having the graphics be the only talking point oeople raise. Seriously, you’d swear the average gamers of today are superficial complaining machines!
It coming out 1 quatar of next year.
That’s what they said about a great number of WiiU launch Window games. Pretty much they missed the mark and delayed the shit out of their games.
Anyone who thinks there’s a “good” chance we’ll see Starfox anytime soon is a fool. As I’m still a Nintendo fan, put the Fool-cap on my head too.
1st quarter, I hello doubt they will have a direct for the system and be like, and guess what the system comes out this month
It’s the iWii!
Noooo no no no no. I quit Nintendo I quit gaming I quit life this is my last post fuck every damn human on this planet it’s time I erase mankind and we gods can make a proper species to florish here.
Lol?
You spelled flourish incorrectly
Damn it Jim, he said he was a god, not a grammar-major! (ironic tho, it is funny xD)
You realize most people won’t get that Star Trek reference…
It is a good idea at this point. With Battle Front and star wars coming out fox might have not made through. Plus they could add more to the over all experience. I would love to see a kid Icarus style Difficulty
Doofus, it’s Star Wars/Battlefront are the same shit and coming in September..by EA..which everyone hates and knows they’re gonna ruin the game. Star Fox was suppose to come out around November/December which is way passed Star Wars time.
No Zelda U, no Starfox U… hmm idk m8
Btw please check out my Mario Maker levels and give them a star. The first 4 are incredibly hard so you’re gonna have a though time unless you’re a pretty good Mario player but still star them and the others. Use this code to see one level and just go to my profile to see the others 58C4-0000-0032-359F
I’ll try ’em out. I know it’s tough just to get people to notice your levels. Try mine out too. I’ve only got 2 out and truthfully probably only this one is worth playing. But I’m hoping to have two more out by tomorrow.

I’ll check ’em out. I know how tough it can be just to get people to play your levels. Check mine out too. I only have 2 out and truthfully only this one is really worth playing. But I’m hoping to have two more out by tomorrow.
3EFD-0000-003F-7F0C
Sorry, didn’t look like it posted the first time.
I no longer care.
Even with Iwata gone we’re still being told “Please understand.”
Heheh, it’s ok. I haven’t been super anxious waiting for this game. The longer it’s in development, the better it should turn out.
The game is getting polished so this is good news next year we have Zelda,Pokken Tournament,StarfoxU,Pikmin4…..not bad.
I think Pikmin 4 may end up being a NX launch title or launch window title but I could be wrong
They tried to make Pikmin 3 a Wii U launch title, and it didn’t work out too well. The Pikmin franchise, while I love it, is not a good launch franchise. It’s a niche title, and does not attract new buyers.
They need to make Zelda a launch title or Galaxy 3. It’s time to bring out the big guns, no more pussy footing around…even though I thought the Wii U was awsome….
Agreed. Not to beat a dead horse but releasing a new F-Zero would probably help a lot. I don’t know if it would sell that much (going by GX’s numbers) but it would be a statement towards the hardcore Nintendo fanbase. It feels like it’s become the staple series of the abandoned Nintendo fans, kind of.
Wait… I think it IS a good franchise, however maybe not a profitable one.
I think not ? NX Home 2017,NX Portable 2016 it’s quite simple the Portable will come first 20 million shipped in 1st year points to Portable NX in 2016 which is why they say the main console will be WiiU in 2016…and they will continue to support WiiU/3DS after both are released….
The Only other possibility is they release both Home/Portable versions at the same time that could also point towards 20 million shipped in 1st year but hey lets wait and see oh heres Iwata clearly stating there will be 2 different consoles and lots more…
http://www.gamespot.com/forums/system-wars-314159282/the-nx-will-not-be-a-single-hybrid-device-32298076/
Don’t damage control, this year sucked again. A few good games on WiiU, but mostly barren.
True. Splatoon, Mario Maker, Yoshi’s Wooly World… That it?
A 4v4 chatless/contentless multiplayer that looks like a Nickelodeon game, a Mario stage builder who’s idea was ripped off from PC mods and hacks and. Kirby’s Epic Yarn Yoshi game that’s not even as good as the original Yoshi’s Island? Yeah, I must ask; That’s it?
Not entirely barren. Look at some of the indies that are coming to the Wii U this year… including the most highly anticipated nindie title FAST Racing Neo.
Most of the good indies came out sat year. There’s nothing else and no Freedom Planet doesn’t even count since its been on Steam/PC before.
Oh yeah, forgot about XB Chronicles X
||The despair is magnificent……
>>>It will take a lot more than despair to bring me down CPU Agent>>>
Oh look. The prodigal son returns..to keep RP to himself..at a mirror.
>>>What?>>>
Tetrarch, I am here to report that TheBenSanders has been eliminated. I dont know if one of his subordinates will return, I sent him through my forced recruitment process and dropped him onto some desert near a Toad Taliban base. He succeeded in his mission, but failed to return because he met with some Dry-chomps near some ancient ruins. He will not be missed.
>>>Great work, now traitors need to be erased as well>>>
That doesn’t mean me, does it? I hope not.
Naw. If he’s talking about anyone being a traitor, he most likely means Stranga.
>>>No, you are too young to ever been considered a true loyalist to the empire>>>
I swear to God. If Xenoblade Chronicles X gets delayed….
It won’t. Once they have a date set, they don’t delay it. They didn’t have a date for Star Fox Zero.
Actually Starfox Zero did indeed have a release date. It was scheduled for November 20th but the only retailer that was smart enough not to give it a release date was Amazon. Maybe they were already informed about the delay long before Nintendo officially announced it
Since it was decided so last week, I doubt they knew it. But Xenoblade is finished anyways, so a delay should not be expected, unless one of the main voice actors will have health problems or dies…
And has that stop them before? Zelda U delayed twice and Star Fox had a release schedule..now delayed. I wouldn’t count on it blindly.
I’m calling it right now. I think it’s gonna happen too.
I’m glad they delayed this. I actually hoped it got delayed. I thought the november release was weird, especially with the Mario Tennis game. And then there is Xenoblade Chronicles X’s release not long after. I wasn’t planning on getting the game on day 1 anyway. I would be busy playing Fallout 4.
this was promised for a 2015 release….damm wii u wiiiii u wiiiii u (wii u on life support)take it to the doctor tre81 lmao
Shut up igbo!!!!!!!!!
Yoshi’s wolly world, fatal frame, devil’s third, xenoblade chornicles x, rodea the sky soldier and mario tennis say hi!
hehe… “chornicles”
lol.
Hey, Mr. selfracist!. If they add online multiplayer battles in Star Fox Zero, i hope i can fight you, it would be nice to destroy you.
We should create a MNN tournament in super smash bros and beat the shit out of obinna.
no interest in competitive smash bros, just for fun
Like if that CoD worshipping queer would buy it anyway. lol He’ll rant and rate it (7.8/10 – Too much non-CoD “fun”)
>>>You say you hate those bashing homosexuals and yet you use slurs like “Faggot” and “Queer” to bash people, no wonder you like to reply to that LGBT hating pothead as well>>>
>>>Specially when you say you hate Republicans and yet you act like them>>>
oh my… TWO huge game delays. First Zelda and now Star Fox. Wii U is ALL the struggle.
They might as well just kill it right now, delay ALL major projects to Wii U, release GC VC games on that shit with indies and call it a day.
Cant. Because it was Ninte do’s dumb Idea to give Project Cafe 1gb for the OS, it cant handle Gamecube VC.
Both my backlog and my wallet breathed a sigh of relief.
im all for the delay but hows about a fucking demo of the game for those of us who cant make it to e3 every damn year
I was looking forward to this game this year. But fine! Make all the necessary improvements & release it early next year!
Nintendo should just get into the habit of announcing all of these big titles to be released 6-12 months later than they intend them to be. Like nearly every big game is delayed by a few months to over a year.
Half of all Nintendo fans said this and Zelda would get delayed… well guess what?
I was right… and so were about half of us.
They were beyond over-fucking-ambitious with getting those both out in 2015.
And with amiibo… they know the holiday delay won’t hurt the money flow… at all.
Just release the Falco amiibo, fuck the game!
Haaaa!
I’m sad… but my 2015 wallet is happy.
So ambitious that they didn’t release neither and barely had games this year for the Wii U.
The 2015 lineup for Wii U was mediocre.
I don’t think I’ve bought a single game this year. Smash was my last purchase (at launch). Not interested in Splatoon, Devil’s Third and Rodea both lost my interest, not interested in Wooly World, Xenoblade was way too long for me so although amazing, I’m not getting the sequel. Pretty much Star Fox and Zelda were my only two big games this year and both got delayed. Nintendo is turning me into a non-gamer haha.
I bought Mario Maker. Pretty cool game. Other than that, nothing under the Nintendo seal. Even for the 3DS, the only title I bought this year was Majora’s Mask, a game that I already own for the N64. Splatoon, XCX and DT didn’t click me as well and I don’t have plans to get them in the near future.
This year the other consoles have been keeping me busy. Besides Mario Maker, right now I’m playing MGS V, and as soon as it releases, The Rise of The Tomb Raider, Fallout 4 and Star Wars Battlefront.
I only have a Wii U. Although I could afford one of the other ones, I don’t feel like it. Although I do want FF7 remake badly. But I stick to one console usually. If NX doesn’t completely wow me though, I think the Wii U will actually be my last console. Gaming has been great over the years, but I am seeing less and less that interests me. Or some things I just can’t justify paying the amount it takes. But I still have soccer that I can play. So I’m good.
I’m playing MGSV, Batman Arkham City, The Witcher 3, and Final Fantasy XIII, and Dishonored. I still have to buy: (this year)
-Mad Max
-Assassin’s Creed Syndicate
-Fallout 4
-Hitman
-Tales of Zestiria
-GTA V (PC)
-Dying Light
and even more than that. I’m not even halfway finished with what I own. Used to not have all this when I had only a Wii U. I got tired of it and sold. I don’t regret it all. Lol. I’m sorry.
You don’t have to apologize to me. I am glad other gamers are getting games they enjoy on multiple consoles. Nintendo hasn’t been producing much that I enjoy lately, and as previously mentioned, I don’t have an interest in the other systems. I don’t begrudge other gamers for having fun with Play Station or Xbox, or even those that are getting games they enjoy on Wii U. Except for casuals. Them bastards I begrudge haha.
They better include competitive local multiplayer while their at it. Just saying.
and online, we already have Assault and 64/3D for local
Could just be whats best for the game and all the fans waiting for it. People will get over it, im not sure how far Miyamoto would go in the way of upgrading the graphics. So yeah, we’ll see what happens : ).
They need to move Xenoblade X into November and give Fatal Frame 5 a physical holiday release to help fill in the huge gap.
But they won’t.
It’s written “polish”, it’s spelled “fallout 4 will annihilate every game in that window so we better get the fuck out of there”
Lol. Thanks for making me laugh, I appreciate the cynical humor.
you are very welcome :D
1st Xenoblade X gets delayed,then Zelda U,now Star Fox lol……RIPWIIU2015 LOL,the only thing that will justify this delayed,is upgraded graphics, to be at the same level as MK8 and Bayo2,and also to have Fox do ground missions on foot with a gun MASS EFFECT STYLE.
Yeah, ok, good for the game and all. But really? Reeeallly? The Wii U has like, 5 good games in all 2015? What a mess, you can’t defend this, Nintendo screw up so badly. From a big Nintendo fan : (
More like a PRETENDO fan.
Nope. Fan is right. He’s not sugar coating or bending over for Nintendo & is admitting the company fucked up. You on the other hand…
They totally fucked up big, even bigger than ever before. Wii Music, Virtual Boy, Wii’s casual achilles’ heel effect and going mobile is nothing compared to this level of fuck up.
No one cares about duel screen, if they didn’t waste processing power on the second screen the game would be gorgeous.
Gamepad is only good for inventory or map screen and off TV play
Yeah, pretty much.
It’s not that people don’t care but forced Gamepad over optional 3DS is a wasteful and dumbass mistake.
Based on the late footage, it was obvious that the game was hardly ready for launch this year. Only fanboys were unable to see it.
While this delay may bring hope for a better overall gameplay — the title looks bland and boring — their efforts to use the gamepad to a greater extent shows not only Nintendo is adrift, but also that they can mess the playability big time. The gamepad is an atrocity and f*cked the Wii U technically speaking in 90% of the time.
I’ve said this already: Nintendo should have invested in the pro-controller, and should have developed an app for android and ios which could stream the screen content to any tablet, a gadget that almost any household has nowadays.
Fore
I think it’s good that they are delaying it.
I’m okay with game delays if they have purpose and not to actually dumb down the game like some people do……. *cough* Ubisoft, EA *cough*
ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?!!!
What? You don’t like a well polished game?
I didn’t see one problem with it. They better give us online too with this delay! lol
>>>Mr.Dunne, are you corrupted by anger as well?>>>
Hey!
What do you thing about the delaying of Star Fox?. I hope they add the multiplayer mode and project giant robot/guard.
My hopes are rising :D
>>>If they add multiplayer online then it’s going to be better, otherwise this delay better do well with improvements>>>
they’ll use the extra time to polish the levels and i am sure they’ll work on project guard, i hope this one is not the only multiplayer mode for Star Fox Zero. it looks interesting, i mean, i hate to be the only person playing while the others are just watching, but with Star Fox i want a battle mode, it think it was so hard for some (most) people to look for others with a 3DS to play battle mode in SF 64 3D.
Lylat Wars was one of the best multiplayer experiences in the N64, Assault is epic too.
I hate having 2 screens. Makes me dizzy having to look up and down all the time (and that heavy Gamepad…. Ugh). Seriously, after playing Assassin’s Creed IV on Wii U with the Gamepad, and then playing A.C. Rogue on PS3, I can’t tell you how much of a relief it was not have to look at a second screen anymore. Most of Nintendo’s efforts these days are going towards modes and things that I myself care nothing about, and never use if given the option.
to not have to look at a second screen*
That’s how I feel about the gamepad. I hate having to share my attention between 2 screens. It’s so unnatural.
Moreover, the gamepad drains processing power. A lot of it.
Well. I actually like the gamepad. Though I’ll admit…..every game doesnt need “souped up/ pimped out gamepad” functions.
It worked great for Zombie U (People enjoyed the clever gamepad functions. They really hated it’s low res graphics) & RAYMAN was excellent. But I especially like NINTENDOS approach to HYRULE WARRIORS. The gamepad was an overall map & a good menu guide….THAT’S IT!!
STAR FOX ZERO needs more of the HYRULE WARRIORS gamepad treatment instead of RAYMAN LEGENDS approach. Because if there’s any part that needs to be improved is adding online (which they are…THANK GOD!) & the Grsphics!!
I see. I agree it does a great job in displaying maps, inventory and such. But… For those uses, a tablet connected to the Wii U should suffice. It would save processing power so that developers could focus on longer games, better graphics and better AI.
I’m afraid Star Fox got so gimmicked by the use of the gamepad to the point in which playing it might become a pain in the arse.
I just find the gamepad cool for off-tv play thats hella useful. Other then that, nintendo hasn’t really hit home with the gamepad which end up being a waste on them.
Yeah, off-TV play is interesting as well. Ideally the screen could have higher pixel density than its 158 ppi — but I know it would imply in higher costs and higher MSRP. Just for the sake of comparison, average smartphones and tablets have around 450-500 ppi of pixel density. But even off-TV play could be achieved using a tablet, it Nintendo had developed an app to stream the content (either wirelessly, or through an OTG-like cable).
ADD ONLINE PLAY!!! There’s honestly no excuse after this. Though I’m glad 2016 is turning even more awesome than it’s already going to be. 2015 is a drought in my opinion.
Everyone please please please stop hoping for online gaming. It is NOT being added. It’s not that kind of delay.
I swear to god if you want any chance at liking this game, stop getting your hopes up. Set the bar low and be happy, set it high and keep getting fucked. I’m serious.
Pingback: No Star Fox for U in 2015-- Delayed to 2016
This is a GOOD thing. If the game needs more work and needs delaying to actually make it better, then great. Miyamoto said it himself, “A rushed game is bad forever, but a delayed game can be good.” Or something along those lines.
Except Splatoon did the opposite right in front of everyone and idiots still ate it up and excuse it’s fully priced piss poor contents at launch, just like EA drones.
So will the falco amiibo be delayed?
Well that’s a bummer!
I tried the game yesterday, and I think this is a good desicion. While I was very impressed with how fluidly the gyro-controls work, the game itself felt very underwhelming and lack luster. I don’t know if they can fix that in such a short amount of time, but the entire thing just feels and looks unpolished, dated and boring. Hope they’ll spice things up.
Wow… So that’s a grand total of zero Wii U games I purchased this year. I was actually looking forward to this. Oh well, I have Assassin’s Creed Syndicate and Star Wars: Battlefront to keep me busy.
What? No Splatoon?
No, not for me. I don’t want to offend anyone, but the game looks like it was targetting children.
The “lack of voice chat” should’ve gave that detail away. XP It’s like Nickelodeon made it themselves.
Haha funny thing about that is that I see the Splatoon commercial several times on that channel but I barely see it on other ones. XD
Exactly. Bare minimum of ads but only focused on pathetic attention spanned kids who are likely too busy watching YouTube or playing CoD every second of their lives.
Hehe that’s funny. I haven’t been watching a lot of tv recently but the only 2 times I ever saw their commercial were once on comedy central and once during a football game. Never saw it anywhere else. I was starting to think there was something wrong with Nintendo’s ad department.
No, it’s something wrong with Nintendo, heavily wrong.
This is one of the smartest things Nintendo has ever done. Remaining a game in R&D. This way it wont need like 3 updates through a server. I also they thinking of online while delaying the game.
>>>Super Mario Maker offers endless joy, I couldn’t care less in one way, on another way it’s just annoying from an imperial stance>>>
Would’ve worked better if its on 3DS too. Wii U is a complete waste of money now and it’s exactly why “fans and the company is now a laughing stock ATM.
>>>To you maybe>>>
NX port anyone?
They really need to add ONLINE PLAY as well as beefing up the graphics. So let’s remain optimistic about NINTENDO doing the right thing from now on.
….on a funny note dealing with Nintendo after all these years feels like “going to SUBWAY that’s known for shitty customer service.” You ask for a “Toasted Spicy Italian w/ Monterey cheese w/ EVERYTHING on Honey Oat bread covered in Southwest sauce & Ranch. With a bag of Sun Chips, 2 Choclate Chip cookies, & a large drink”.
…..only to have Miyamoto & Reggie (wearing their tight green shirts & little SUBWAY hats) fix you a “salad w/ lite tomatoes & cucumbers w/ oil & vinegar at the side.”
…..& A BOTTLED WATER!!! LMAO
Nintendo delays a game, news at 11.
But really, this game needed it. Maybe Nintendo wouldn’t always have to delay a game if they were better at estimating when it would be finished.
Your last sentence is something I always say. They need to stop giving out release dates until they are 99.9% sure that they will make it on that date barring some catastrophic situation. They are just shooting themselves in the foot with these release dates. Tell consumers a game will be out in a couple of years. They’ll be ok. Tell consumers a specific date, then go back on that promise, they feel disappointment.
YES. exactly.
It does not always happen, just on games that might need some content that was considered late. Q1 is not too far, expect February or something.
Guys gguys guys giys it has to be for NX now! Only logical choice….. not! Come on, y’all, not every game that gets delayed means dual release
There were several announced Nintendo Gamecube games that got delayed to the Wii and came out Wii only, not dual release.
Pingback: Nintendo Delays Star Fox Zero For Wii U To 2016 | CURIOSIDADES NA INTERNET .COM
Thank the Lord! I knew this game didn’t have enough time to get the proper polish with a winter release. I want to play it as much as anyone, but I’ve been calling for a delay since E3. Now we know that, at Nintendo, quality still means something.
Good cause no matter what people tell me the game still look bland and had no immersive feel to it. I mean when the first flying segment of starfox assault….a gamecube game may i remind you; Looks better then starfox zero… somethings wrong.
Man, my thoughts, exactly! Star Fox Assault is badass and 10 years later still puts me a smile on the face.
I rather have a remake of that game over this Star Fox remake #3
… And that just leaves Xenoblade X… Seriiusly, isn’t that the only thing left now?
Fatal Frame and Yoshi’s Wooly World, if you have any interesting on them.
I won’t be buying any game from Nintendo these holidays. Maybe this is the first time this happens in, like, 15 years or so.
*interest
Yoshi’s Wooly world comes out in October I think, so I wasn’t thinking about it as a holiday release, and I’ll definitely be getting it. The fact that this is the first time in several years that Nintendo hasn’t had a true first party release in November or December on a home console is pretty surprising.
True, that’s October 16. First I was excited about it, but some pals from Europe have addressed some concerns about the game, like (i) there is absolutely nothing new on it, and (ii) the gameplay is way repetitive and not challenging. I’ll put htis on hold, though, once I usually enjoy Yoshi’s games. So I’ll eventually grab it, but definitely not this year.
As long as it’s better than Yoshi’s New Island, I’m gonna enjoy it.
I got the game and I would say that it is pretty hard if you aim to 100% it. It’s easy if you do a walkthrough and hard if you complete it. Especially the bonus levels. There are some transformations, but the gameplay does not change too much, appart from new enemies. And some bosses are the same, but you beat them in different ways.
Off topic, but why are people not considering Mario Tennis when it comes to big games? It might have lots of content.
I think all games should just not have a release date at all until they’re fully finished and ready to be played. It would be so awesome to watch E3 and then be able to play all those games in only the next week or two.
I said something similar above. I’ve always felt this way. Stop with the early release dates and you’ll eliminate a lot of resentment.
Well, the game was about to be released. It is just a late decision. It’s understandable.
Have to admit I was disappointed to wake up to this, too, though I understand the need to polish the game. Between this and Persona 5 getting delayed, I’m getting low on games I actually want to buy this holidays. Oh well. Hopefully, Xenoblade will still be coming out this year.
ok thats disappointed i guess i can wait for 2016.
Hahahahahhahahahhaahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahshahahahahahahahahahahaha
Welp, more time for me to finish my Wii U backlog. I’m honestly glad they delayed this game. The game always felt really rushed so its good they have more time to work on it. The gameplay looks really fun but the graphics are not bad (to me) just acceptable. Which is not good when you compare it to other Wii U games that look really good.
haha, I saw that coming, the game is far to be completed and I was really afraid that they would sell an unfinished game.
Good thing I wasn’t excited for this game. At least now I can have a slight hope that the game can come out looking better and more interesting than it did so far, because since it was unveiled at E3 I haven’t been sold on it at all.
Welp, that’s a let down. :/ But I’d rather have a game with more work on it then an unfinished game.

ouch. first zelda wiiu and now star fox. at least 2016 will be a good year for the wiiu.
Feel bad for the people who only have or afford a wiiu. So glad I have an Xbox one its killing it with games right now
Um….are you joking?
It’s true though.
U must be joking never winter smite rare replay gears remastered tomb raider shadow of modar dragon age killer instinct I can go on and on bro Xbox and Phil Spencer know they fucked up and are concentration on games and they have alot of good ones right now don’t be blind
You might try using a comma or two.
bro
Good comeback
That wasn’t a comeback. It was just a comment. It would be a comeback if the original comment was directed at me
Didn’t say they don’t have any good games. But “killing it with games right now?” They haven’t gotten a good one in quite a while.
I agree! The big one this year is Halo 5: Guardians, but there are also a bunch of other games coming out on both XB1 and PS4 this year. Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 5, Assassin’s Creed Syndicate, Star Wars: Battlefront, and Fallout 4. I don’t know how I’m going to have time to play them all, I’m still on Rare Replay right now!
Halo 5, 4, Master Chief Collection and 343i are an insult to the original Halo trilogy fans and fuck Tomb Raider. I played the first one and it’s just an Uncharted clone with lots of useless shooting and QTEs and a bit more of exploration/collection though. Anyway, original TR >>> Uncharted and its clones.
Better have online
Yes. Wii U continues is plummet as its zombie gaming library and reputation depletes. Such a sad display to behold. Fortunately I’m no longer part of those idiots still defending and thinking this POS console still has any reason to continue. Now that Star Fox is out, what’s next? Oh yeah, absolutely nothing.
>>>And yet you keep coming back here saying the same thing over and over which in human terms means that you are not over them>>>
Welp!! (if there’s such a word)
I’ll be getting: Mario Maker. Yoshis Wolly World. Xenoblade. Mario Power Tennis. Fatal Frame. & Just Dance 2016. With a hist of downloadable goodies from the Nintendo E Shop.
Not to mention Im STILL playing SPLATOON (they keep giving us free new content!). Super Smash Bros. Mario Kart 8. Hyrule Warriors. So they can push STARFOX ZERO back as far as they want. JUST GET IT RIGHT!!
I’ll be fine until next year!
Oh man, my son is going to be real sad about this one. This was THE game he’s been waiting for all year long besides Mario Maker.
I’m wondering if Miyamoto is going to slide Pikmin 4 in the holiday 2015 slot, replacing Star Fox Zero. He did say Pikmin 4 was very close to completion like 2 weeks ago.
They gotta bring something, I can’t imagine they are going to let the Friday before Thanksgiving come and go with no big release. They usually have a big game out every year right before thanksgiving
I’m glad this was delayed. I’m already not going to be able to afford Christmas shopping this year due to the few games that ARE coming out (and over $230 worth of amiibos coming out).
Thank God they didn’t go with the Splatoon tactic: release an unfinished game, with certain stuff locked on the disc, and releasing updates that unlock the locked content in the next few month’s of the game being out.
But if Nintendo had pulled a Splatoon with Star Fox Zero, the fanboys would still be giving Nintendo head while the words “Great job, Nintendo! Keep it up!” gets muffled. I’m so glad the success of an incomplete-upon-release Splatoon didn’t effect Miyamoto while they were developing Star Fox Zero. I’d rather see delays than get an incomplete fucking game upon release. I’ve dealt with that bullshit from Ubisoft with the Assassin’s Creed games on the Wii U & I refuse to deal with it again.
I’m reminded of some words of wisdom from Mr. Miyamoto.
A delayed game is eventually good, but a rushed game is forever bad.
