Star Fox Zero

Star Fox Zero is a 2016 rail shooter game developed by Nintendo and PlatinumGames and published by Nintendo for the Wii U. It is the sixth installment in the Star Fox series and a reimagining of Star Fox 64. Formally announced at E3 2015, the game was released in April 2016. A standalone tower defense game, titled Star Fox Guard, was bundled with the game. Star Fox Zero received mixed reviews from critics. Praise was given to its level design, graphics and boss battles, but criticism was given to its short length and unconventional control scheme. The game's similarity to Star Fox 64 also divided critics, as some were also disappointed by the game's general lack of originality and innovation, including the absence of an original plot. There is some debate about whether Star Fox Zero is a remake but Miyamoto has stated that it is not a remake and is neither a sequel nor prequel, but a reimagining of Star Fox 64.
