Star Fox Zero Delayed Into 2016

star fox zeroStar Fox is more or less the only game franchise I get genuinely nostalgic for. I've been saying how excited I am for the new Shigeru Miyamoto lead game, Star Fox Zero, ever since E3 2014.

It seems I'll be waiting a little longer still though as the game has been pushed into Q1 of 2016. In a post on Facebook, Miyamoto explained the delay by saying the the game needed three more months of polish.

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.

As always, delays are good things. I also fear Star Fox might have got lost in the shuffle of huge games this holiday season. Having it hit in January, will be a nice move for the game, basically coming out uncontested. I hope for big things.
