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!

Nintendo has dished out a bunch of details about both Star Fox Zero and Star Fox Guard.

First, a recap of Star Fox Zero:

In the action-packed universe of Star Fox Zero, the TV displays a cinematic view from behind the Arwing while the Wii U GamePad puts players straight into the gunner’s seat, complete with immersive audio and intuitive motion controls for pinpoint aiming. A range of training missions help new recruits to master the game’s unique two-screen gameplay, and as their skills improve, players can return to these training missions to rack up better scores, then take what they’ve learned into the main game to discover new areas and beat their previous best performances.
