Star Fox 64 Metal Tribute Arwing Odyssey Now Available

Star Fox 64 Metal Tribute Arwing Odyssey Now Available

, , , , , 1

The world of Star Fox is quite a trippy place. Spark-edged polygonal ships piloted by talking animals driving through boxy environments and shooting at ominous floating triangles. If you think the experience would benefit from a prog rock soundtrack, so do we. But it took rock arranger Ro Panuganti to make it happen: he presents Arwing Odyssey, “Arwing Odyssey is an album designed around speed, with more tracks hitting hard out the gate,” comments Panuganti. “I was excited to use more 8-string friendly techniques on guitar like thump and tons of sound design as well to recreate fun effects in the game. I don’t think I’ve ever gotten to produce an album this clear, punchy, and play around with voice acting and monster sounds all at once. Fans of Star Fox and modern metal will hopefully appreciate and enjoy the extra care going into its big over-the-top sound.” No track listing this time — what you get is simply the entire Star Fox 64 soundtrack by Koji Kondo and Hajime

Bayonetta Miiverse Stamps Found Inside Star Fox Zero

Bayonetta Miiverse Stamps Found Inside Star Fox Zero

Star Fox Zero has been out a scant 48 hours and tinkerers are already finding oddities within the game code. The strangest so far? This: Miiverse stamps for Bayonetta 2 have been found inside Fox’s new title, inaccessible within the game proper. You’ve got a magic symbol, Jeanne, an un-weaponized stiletto, and Bayo dressed like Mario. Why would they be there? Well….remember when an Arwing was found in the code for Ocarina of Time? It proved the game was built upon a foundation of Star Fox 64. Both Bayonetta 2 and Star Fox Zero were collaborations between Nintendo and Platinum Games. Is this an indication that Star Fox Zero was built with the Bayonetta 2 engine? Maybe, maybe not. The stamps were found and posted by a Twitter hacker called Exploit Apologist, and he was asked if he found any more clues suggesting this. “Well, it uses none of Nintendoware, but Wwise for audio, CPK archives, lines up pretty well.” But not enough to be a smoking gun. Wwise is

Back during E3 2014, when StarFox Zero was nothing more than a few tech demos, Shigeru Miyamoto showed the press two smaller game concepts he’d been tinkering with: Project Giant Robot and Project Guard. Project Guard was a game where you switched viewpoints between multiple cameras to prevent enemies from getting to the center of a maze — and it turned into StarFox Guard, which will be shipped with StarFox Zero this April. Project Giant Robot was a fighting game starring giant customizable giant robots battling each other in the middle of a city…and it has yet to turn up again. Miyamoto was asked about the whereabouts of Project Giant Robot by Time. He said this: Project Giant Robot was something we started as a second project, and unfortunately we haven’t yet decided to turn that into a full game. Sometimes experiments lead places and sometimes they don’t. E3 2014 may be all we ever see of ‘Moto’s robot game experiment.

Sad but true — you’ll have to wait a little longer for Star Fox Zero. Nintendo boss and Star Fox creator Shigeru Miyamoto posted this on Facebook last night: I made a big decision last week. 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. 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. To the people looking forward to the

At their E3 Digital Event, Nintendo officially pulled back the curtain on the next Star Fox title, called Star Fox Zero. In it, not only will you be doing many a classic Star Fox activity (flying in space, doing barrel rolls, etc.), you’ll also be using new and modified vehicles to complete missions. Such as having your Arwing transform into a walker, and using a tricked out Landmaster. Fun stuff clearly. However, one thing you won’t be doing, at least not at this moment, is playing online. During an interview with IGN, Shigeru Miyamoto noted how at present there is no online component to Star Fox Zero. “So, we’re really prioritising getting this new game playing at 60 frames-per-second,” he said. “In previous Star Fox games we had focused a lot on dogfighting, but here we’re really focused more the single-player experience.” He does note however, this isn’t a fixed thing, it could change as development goes on. “Of course, as we continue on and once people get a feeling

In the waning years of the Super NES, Nintendo went into production on a sequel to Star Fox, with bigger and grander ambitions than the original, powered by the Super FX2 chip. But the game never came out, being cancelled at the eleventh hour. Now the website Nintendo Life has scored an exclusive interview with Dylan Cuthbert, programmer for Argonaut Software, which made the original Star Fox and its original sequel. Here are the most interesting revelations gathered from that conversation…. Star Fox 2 would have changed the direction of the series Instead of running on rails, Star Fox 2 would have been a completely open-world shooter, and not only that, enemies and other elements would be randomly generated, making every playthrough different. There was even experimentation with platform stages at one point. “The series was never intended to be limited to linear 3D scrolling stages, and [Miyamoto] will often say that the only reason they did that was to get the best speed and performance out of the Super

During The Game Awards 2014, Nintendo revealed some new gameplay footage for The Legend of Zelda Wii U. In a video with Nintendo’s Shigeru Miyamoto and Eiji Aonuma, we saw how large the world will be. The gameplay footage began with Miyamoto and Aonuma explaining how you can explore anywhere you can see. After marking a specific point on the map, which was displayed on the Wii U GamePad, Link jumped off a cliff using the Sailcloth, an item we last saw in Skyward Sword. We then saw Link riding Epona through a forest, as Aonuma explained you will hardly have to touch the control stick to maneuver. The footage finished with Aonuma showing some horseback combat, and how you can aim and shoot arrows in slow motion. Check out the video for yourself down below. httpvh://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ypR03D1nISA Miyamoto and Aonuma confirmed that The Legend of Zelda Wii U would release in 2015. They also revealed that Star Fox would launch before Zelda.
