This information comes from Kotaku…
One of Miyamoto’s E3 2014 experiments, Project Guard—a Wii U game about protecting a base from invaders using security cameras and turrets—is still in the works and still tied to the Star Fox universe. (The photo above is from last year.) Hayashi is overseeing it, also with the help of Platinum. Miyamoto said it is meant to be played online and that Nintendo is still figuring out if or how to release it in conjunction with Star Fox Zero. Development of Giant Robo, another, less impressive E3 2014 experimental game is on hold.

On how it doesn’t take place before other games in the series…
“It’s definitely not a prequel. In some ways I think more of it as being a remake of the first one or we’re starting from ‘1’ again, but obviously with that as a base trying to think, ‘now with these two different screens and new play system and different vehicles, what are the new things we can add to that?’”
– Zero name chosen in part because they “liked how it sounded”
– The Kanji character for Zero is written into the game’s logo in a way to resemble the tail of a fox
– Co-developed between Nintendo and Platinum Games
– Art is being done at Platinum’s Osaka office
– Design is being done in Nintendo’s offices in Kyoto, where some of the Platinum guys have taken temporary root
– Nintendo’s director on the project is Yugo Hayashi (level design on The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess and then directed Wii Fit U)
