Star Fox Zero and Star Fox Guard Special Demos Are Coming to the Wii U eShop

[Hope(N Forever)]

Today, Nintendo of Europe have released their weekly Nintendo eShop lineup due this July 14, and they revealed they are releasing two new special Star Fox demo games for the Wii U. 

One of the demos is Star Fox Zero: The Battle Begins + Training, based on Star Fox Zero, and as the title suggests it includes the full short film Star Fox Zero: The Battle Begins as well as the game's Training Mode. The other demo is Star Fox Guard: Special Demo Version, based on Star Fox Guard obviously. No additional details were revealed however. 

Like any demo version, both these titles will be available for free. Anyone who still on the fence about acquiring either game will now be able to try either game. No confirmation from Nintendo of America regarding the availability these special demo versions however. Stay tuned for that.

Now? Shoulda been done months ago. At least a week before the game actually released.

The lack of game demos in this day and age is a shame - quite a number of demos got me to purchase their respective full games in the past.

I've already 100% Zero and finished Guard, but I'm still going to download these.

Both demo versions are now available in the North American Nintendo eShop starting today (July 21, 2016)!

To commemorate the release of the demo, Nintendo released a three part interview with the crew behind The Battle Begins. It features some storyboards alongside with this nifty piece of concept art by Benimaru Itoh.

Holy CRAP that artwork is awesome - is that Fara?? Reeeeeee.

Glad to see Itoh-san has still got it after all these years, I wonder how he would draw the Star Fox team now.

That is certainly one colorful picture. I like its retro-ish look.
