Nintendo has announced that the highly-anticipated Star Fox Zero has been delayed until 2016 for the Nintendo WiiU.
Shigeru Miyamoto took to Facebook earlier this morning to announce that we will not be seeing Star Fox: Zero come this November. This is due to the amount of polish needed to develop a game that comes to standards with Nintendo.
“We have been developing Star Fox Zero for Wii U with the aim of releasing it this year. Although we felt that the development had been progressing well, we now believe that we will need a little more time to work on areas such as the unprecedented discovery that we want players to experience in the game by using two screens, and further polishing the level designs and perfecting the tone of the cut scenes.” Miyamoto stated, “While we have already reached the stage where it would be technically possible to release the title in time for the year-end holiday season, we want to polish the game a bit more so that players will be able to more smoothly grasp the new style of play that we are proposing.”
2015 has been a strong year for the WiiU, with Super Mario Maker, Splatoon, Mario Party 10 and Kirby and the Rainbow Curse being released and Yoshi’s Wooly World just around the corner. With Legend of Zelda and Star Fox: Zero being listed for release next year, it looks to be another strong year for Nintendo.
Star Fox Zero has a new release window for Q1 2016.
