Star Fox Zero: The Battle Begins + Training is now available on the North American Wii U eShop. It’s free, and the size of the entire file download is 1,677MB. The North American Wii U eShop listing for the demo contained a summary of it, which we included below. It’s not easily accessible, so you will have to search “Star Fox Zero: The Battle Begins” on the Wii U eShop to locate it for the time being.
“In this demo, enjoy the full Animated Short Movie – Star Fox Zero: The Battle Begins, then jump into training to prepare for combat! In this white-knuckle space shooter, it’ll take more than luck to master the Arwing jet, the Gyrowing flight drone, and the Landmaster tank!”
I don’t understand, is this a Star Fox Zero demo?
If so, why is Nintendo hiding it?
shut up
Do you just leave dumb comments on purpose?
Let me guess your response: “shut up”
what do you mean?
A few months ago, that was all he would post. He finally stopped doing it. But looks like he is back at it.
?
Go take your negativity elsewhere.
you mean like you just leave me alone.
Sorry you can’t handle a conversation past ten words.
you mean you?
Yeah man you really need to stop, it make you look like an immature little child. Or maybe you are one? Maybe you’re posting from your mommy’s tablet?
no i’m not dude and just leave me alone already and stop.
We’ll stop when you stop. You KNOW what you’re doing and for whatever reason pretend that you don’t.
just stop it already you idiot.
No, YOU stop it.
no you please
leave you alone “already”? I’m pretty sure this is the first time I’ve addressed you about randomly telling people to shut up. You should really stop, because it’s not very cool.
leave me alone and then i will stop telling people to shut up idiot.
cool.
awesome
im not sure that they are hiding it, maybe they had a reason for releasing the demo now, then again i could be wrong and they were hiding it.
It’s a little more then a demo. It’s a demo and a cartoon.
“anime is not a cartoon!!”
Aside from the cartoon is there anything in this that isn’t apart of the main game? If not I’ll skip it.
This game should have had a demo before or at release. The controls are not for everybody. I have pretty much mastered them and have 68 out of 70 medals. But I still hate them. So no git gud argument will work on me. Those that enjoy the controls, kudos. Me personally? Can’t stand them. There are certain levels where they aren’t such a hindrance, but others levels can be a huge pain because of them. Especially boss fights. Having to switch from screen to screen is maddening. If I wasn’t such a completionist (or I had other games to play) I wouldn’t have even bothered to go back. I highly recommend getting the demo and deciding for yourself if you want the game. Then again I’m not sure a demo would be enough to determine if the controls are your cup off tea or not.
So, the game is selling like hot turds, it seems. A bit too late for a demo, though.
It’s probably an attempt to get more people to buy it, but with a control scheme as wonky as Zero’s, well…
Star Fox Zero’s controls and forced attention-switching-between-screens make it frustrating.
