Star Fox Zero

Star Fox Zero is a 2016 rail shooter game developed by Nintendo and PlatinumGames and published by Nintendo for the Wii U. It is the sixth installment in the Star Fox series. Formally announced at E3 2015, the game was released in April 2016 and is a reimagining of Star Fox 64. A standalone tower defense game, titled Star Fox Guard, was bundled with the game.

Star Fox Zero received mixed reviews from critics, with praise to its level design, graphics and boss battles, but it was criticized for its short length, lack of evolution in its structure compared to previous games of the series and especially its uncomfortable control scheme with the Game Pad and its motion controls. Its similarity to Star Fox 64 also divided critics, as some were also disappointed by the game's general lack of originality and innovation, including the absence of an original plot. It was also a commercial flop, with the worst sales out of any Star Fox game.
