A Message from Mr. Miyamoto Regarding Star Fox Zero
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 launch of the game this holiday season, I am very sorry.

So they say its already at the state to release by the holiday season but they still want to put it back in the lab for a few more months

Is this the first Holiday season where Nintendo does not have a major title coming out? They probably wish they delayed Mario Maker now. Holy shit. Wii U is confirmed DEAD now.

One way to smooth the gap is to just let me play on the TV, thankyouverymuch.

I'm guessing this is in response to the negative reaction the game's been receiving.

RIP Nintendo Q4 2015. They should push up Xenoblade to make up for this.

This game has looked rough, and it's not like the game missing the holiday will have any impact on WiiU sales this fall.

I'm okay with this. I wasn't too terribly critical of the footage we've seen, but it was still rough. Take your time, Miyamoto. I can wait.

I'd be more OK with this if Xenoblade was coming before December.

You know what Nintendo, use those empty Wii U cases and print off retail copies of Fatal Frame. Problem solved, you'll have a worthwhile game out in November, everyone's happy.

You guys trying to outdo Wario64?

Also 2015: everything was 2016.

And also, for the best. The game looked super rough.

I'm glad they're taking the time with the game; it looked as if it could use the extra polishing! But what's Nintendo going to do for the Holiday season now, then? Mario Tennis? Pump a lot more DLC into Splatoon/Mario Maker/Smash? A lot seemed to be riding on Star Fox as is, so I'm honestly a bit surprised it was delayed.

Let's face it. Star Fox isn't a major title. It had 1 good game almost 2 decades ago and that's it. And it never was a system seller.
