Star Fox Zero release date update: Game will be bundled with 'Star Fox Guard' once it hits the market in April 2016

The announcement coming from Nintendo via a presentation from Nintendo Direct last Mar. 3 came as a surprise to many video game freaks. The company revealed that they will release "Star Fox Zero" alongside the new "Star Fox Guard" on Apr. 22.

According to the presentation, aside from being paired with "Star Fox Guard," "Star Fox Zero" will also include a local multiplayer into the game, which makes it more exciting. Nintendo is certainly doing a good job hyping up the game and adding surprising features to make sure fans will get the best experience once it is rolled out in the market next month.

Both the "Star Fox Guard" and "Star Fox Zero" will also be sold individually, aside from the option to get both games as a bundle. This is really great for fans as discounts are always warmly welcomed.

Meanwhile, according to iDigitalTimes, Star Fox Zero is not getting the attention that it deserves. After a high profile announcement during the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) in 2015, the game has not gotten that much publicity from critics and fans.

The news outlet added that Nintendo Direct's presentation gave a nostalgic feeling to the fans who enjoyed the old Star Fox game, the "Star Fox 64," especially that Nintendo has confirmed that that the new "Star Fox Zero" will have the same elements as its older brother including the return of its main antagonist, Andross.

The plot also includes branching paths, unsolvable threats from the Star Wolf team and incognito bosses. Playing the new "Star Fox" will definitely give fans that ultimately excitement they missed after the old "Star Fox 64" went out of time.

Including in the Nintendo Direct's announcement was the pricing details. The bundle will be priced at $60 for both games. Buying the game separately will cost consumers $50 for each game.
