Fox, Falco, Peppy and Slippy save the Lylat system in this new deep space dogfighting adventure. Using the Wii U GamePad controller and the TV together creates a unique interface that allows players to experience the game with two different viewpoints within the Arwing – aim and shoot enemies in one direction while flying in another. This frees up the TV for a more cinematic flight experience. Then, pilot the Arwing with its new Walker transformation, along with the new Gyrowing and the Landmaster Tank, to traverse interplanetary terrain.

Nintendo made a big mistake with this one.
control system is just a mess,making the game unplayable for many.
as always some will jump to defend it,but it doesn't matter,this game is a failure.because of company's stubbornness in motion control and other gimmicks instead of focusing of proper and pure gameplay and controls.
hope they learn from this lesson and abandon these gimmicks for good..and for sake of NX success.
in fact even in Japan Star Fox Zero was the poorest selling game of the series ever.

All consoles have some of the cross-released games you mentioned. There is no denying there are family friendly games on all the consoles, and they are 18-rated generic shooters on all the consoles also at the same time. It is obvious to all though the ratios differ massively and certain consoles veer mainly to quite different ends of the spectrum.
The portion supermarkets will allocate to NX software will be minimal to other consoles software. That's merely a reflection of modern culture, which is one where violence in movies and gaming is popular.

I have never put down the MS/SONY consoles, cut n paste my comments where I have. For the record they are both fine consoles and good pieces of kit. At the risk now of becoming a broken record, all I have said is they are largely generic 18 rated shooter based consoles. And that another console chooses to break that mould and not conform to modern cultures expectations should be welcome. It certainly does not seem to be much of a foundation to constantly attack it. Again, if XB/PS fanboys want to come on the Wii U threads and insult their gaming, you have to be a big boy and expect the Wii U players to exercise a right of reply. I wouldn't go on the XB/PS threads and not expect some alternative arguments, but hey I don't go on those threads like my fellow HUKD Wii U players, I am just a pretty content, happy gamer, happy with what I play.
You remind me of Luke in Return of the Jedi. A bit confused and conflicted, hang out with dad and enforce a few ridiculous standards upon the rest of the galaxy, or just be a content nice guy and do my thing.

Little Big Planet 3? Disney Infinity? All of the Lego games? EA Sports games? The various racing games that are on the console? Minecraft? Tearaway? Chariot? Journey? Flower?
The idea that the PS4 is only for violent shooters is a myth. There are plenty of non-violent games available for it. Don't get me wrong, I have both a Wii U and a PS4 and the Wii U gets much, much more game time right now for the reason that my children love the various Mario games and I enjoy playing these with them and love the console. But I wouldn't ever dismiss the PS4 as being a console only for violent games, that makes very little sense given the wide range of software available to it. And unfortunately, right now the Wii U is a niche console that has a very small user base, has a tiny trickle of software being released for it, and is almost totally ignored by mainstream gamers. Have you ever wondered why when you walk in to a supermarket there are big displays of PS4 and Xbone games and accessories and almost nothing for Nintendo? Ever wondered why when you walk in to a branch of CEX there are shelves and shelves full of PS4 and Xbone games and yet only about a dozen individual Wii U games on the shelf (and that is individual games, not titles)? It's because the Wii U is very unpopular compared to the big two consoles. Now that doesn't mean that it doesn't have any good games, quite the opposite in fact, it has a small handful of outstanding games that are arguably worth buying the console just to play (MK8, 3D World, SSB) and it has a very loyal and enthusiastic fanbase that loves it, including yourself and I. But to claim that the Wii U is popular and that the PS4 is somehow a 'bad' console is just simply not true, and an indication of someone so blinkered by loyalty that they don't really want to look at the current state of the market as it is.

I still acknowledge a good deal when I see it. As opposed to your constant white-washing attempts to tarnish the competition.

I don't have an anti-PS/XB blog come website. Unlike yourself with your anti-WiiU blog come website that's just your own personal forum to vent your unbalanced hatred of the Wii U. Unlike yourself I am not loitering around other console threads, spreading my hate (I actually don't have any for a start). If trying to restore some much needed balance with the Wii U makes me a nutcase... so be it.

It's certainly hit and miss for star fox zero among those that have played it, I can see the price dropping further before too long.

Star Fox controls are insane imo. Don't know where to look at most of the time, tv or gamepad, and at times neither seems to help. There's also a constant need to to press the recalibrate button as the target reticle has a mind of its own. Very disappointing considering the long long wait between Nintendo titles. The kids grew tired of this very very quickly.

From what I gather, Platinum stated that they thought the game wouldn't have been as good, but Nintendo forced them into incorporating the Gamepad as part of the design and controls.
Seems to me that Shigeru Miyamoto is really beginning to lose it in his old age.

Didn't you hear, Gravity Rush is also really violent.
****, the Nintendo crowd can't take this. They need to go back to their secluded safe zone. Play with their care bears.
Talk about a gross generalisation.
Oh yeah... last time I checked, Nintendo were busy trying to court third parties (incl EA - the very company that unveiled the "generic violent shooter" called Battlefield One last night) for content. If all what these companies produce is "violent content", why would Nintendo go make efforts to have them on board?

What is it with you and your attempts to justify peoples arrested development?
You're coming across like a glorified nutcase.
"Yeah... it's alright to shoot people, because you're in vehicles and are controlling furries".
Lmao!

The game itself isn't bad, just unambitious and its hampered by the annoying controls. The motion controls aren't bad, but having to constantly look at the gamepad is disorienting. Its Metacritic score seems about right to be honest. It's a mixed bag.

Yes, Ratchet & Clank for PS4 is a very violent game.

Ah your confused, the PS4 is the nations favourite violent gaming option. This game is rated 7 so it obviously falls 11 years short of being a viable game for that particular console.

Star Fox Zero was very disappointing for me, even if you overlook the forced motion controls the game is still substandard with boring levels and low replay value. I'd say save your money and grab Star Fox 64 on the Wii U instead.

Getting this digitally, great price though.
I read if you stick at it, the games pretty good.

I'm on the second last level. It's pretty good, and deserves its 7/10 rating, but does get boring fast. I'm about 4 hours in and don't think I'll be returning to it once finished.
Worth a play-through...

Was a little disappointed with Star Fox Zero at first but after replaying some of the levels and going after medals and hidden paths I am enjoying it very much!

Star Fox 0 is absolute garbage. I'd rather get some piles of dog mess and smack them in with a stick than play this. Plus its free from the local park.

Good price for Star Fox Zero but it's a shame it's only playable with the Wii U GamePad. :disappointed:
