The festivities will begin at 3 PM PT / 6 PM ET / 11 PM in the UK / 12 AM in Europe (about an hour from now). We’ve attached a live stream for the event below.

Over the years we’ve seen the Star Fox series take many new directions in its style of gameplay simply to shake things up from standard air combat. Whether it be shooting rocket launchers in a battlefield or saving a planet of dinosaurs, Fox McCloud has done it all. Now, with Star Fox Zero, Nintendo has finally decided to reconnect with the series’ roots in an attempt to build upon the formula that worked so well in the series’ origins.

During E3 2014, Nintendo showed off a couple of demos that were meant to highlight some of the more unique uses of the Wii U GamePad. Two years later, fans would hear nothing about either of them until the March Nintendo Direct of this year where it was announced that one of the demos, Project Guard, had been completed. Enter Star Fox Guard, a companion game to coincide with the release of the newest entry in the Star Fox series, Star Fox Zero. Nintendo’s spin-off games of popular franchises have proven to be hit-or-miss over the years, so just how well does this title fare?
Polygon has put up the latest video in its “Devs Make Mario” series. In today’s feature, La-Mulana and La-Mulana 2 director Takumi Naramura creates a level in the game. View it below.

Double Fine and Abstraction Games are working together to bring 140 to new platforms, including Wii U and 3DS.
The “challenging minimalistic platformer” originally debuted in 2013. In the game, players will need “rhythmic awareness to overcome obstacles which are controlled by an energetic, yet melancholic electronic soundtrack.”
140 is planned for a summer release on Nintendo platforms. Take a look at a trailer below.
Next Thursday, Circle Entertainment will be bringing ASH to the North American 3DS eShop, priced at $3.99. It’s a new turn-based RPG “featuring a massive, fully-realized world with lush visuals, and a wonderfully compelling story.”
We’ve attached a video below, in addition to a brief overview.
These are strange days for Aghaus. By order of the Magistrate, the Royal Guard is to assemble for deployment in two days’ time. It has been years since I last left the capital, and further still that I can remember such a command being issued! But what need is there for a Royal Guard, when no King sits upon the throne? Though my oath binds me to his service, the Magistrate is not my liege. He rules in the absence of a rightful heir.
The Deer God will be arriving on the North American Wii U eShop next week, publisher Mobot Studios announced today. It’s slated for April 28 with a $7.99 price point.

For those that are unaware, enemies say “barf” when you hit them in the River City Ransom games. There have been quite a few entries in the series that have stayed in Japan, so maybe we’ll be seeing a localization announcement soon. The latest title, River City Ransom SP, came out in Japan on April 28.
