Fox, Peppy, Falco and Slippy will ride again — but not this holiday season.
Nintendo announced that the Wii U title Star Fox Zero will be delayed from its holiday 2015 release window until early next year. The company posted the news on the Wii U Facebook page early Friday morning, with a message from the game's producer, Shigeru Miyamoto.
"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," Miyamoto's message said.
"To the people looking forward to the launch of the game this holiday season, I am very sorry," Miyamoto continued.
Star Fox Zero takes the series staples of flying through different missions and adds HD graphics and a new control scheme, powered by the Wii U GamePad. While Fox and his Arwing are still the stars, the game has plenty of new vehicles as well.
Miyamoto now says Star Fox Zero will come out in the first quarter of 2016.
