Star Fox Zero footage – Black Arwing, Retro Arwing, Planet Zoness

Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Videos, Wii U | 7 Comments

New previews and footage of Star Fox Zero are starting to drop. We’re a bit limited in terms of what we can show thus far, but we are starting out with two gameplay clips. Below you can see the Black Arwing and Retro Arwing in action as well as the Gyrowing in Planet Zoness.

Both videos were recorded at 60 frames per second. It wasn’t easy, but we also tried capturing audio that comes from the GamePad. That way you can hear the voices of the Star Fox crew!
