Star Fox Zero seems to be flying pretty high, as it currently is the best selling game on Amazon. Hopefully this is a good sign for its sales in the future. If you haven’t backed up the squadron, you can still pre-order the game here.

Thanks to Jonathan for the heads up!

It’s not often that we post credits from games. However, there’s a particularly touching inclusion within Star Fox Zero’s staff roll, which we felt was worth sharing.

About halfway through the credits, the following line pops up: “This game is dedicated to our wingman who fell in battle.” It’s a clear nod to late Nintendo president Satoru Iwata, who passed away last year.

Head past the break for the video with the full credits if you’re interested in doing so ahead of launch! It naturally contains a few final scenes from the game.
