Nintendo fixed Star Fox: Zero

Fox McCloud’s mantra for Star Fox: Zero comes from Yoda’s playbook: “Unlearn what you have learned.” Turns out I did a pretty good turn as Luke Skywalker, and I finally understand how to use this Wii U game’s newfangled controls.

Star Fox: Zero debuts April 21 for Nintendo’s Wii U console. It’s the first original release in the series since 2006, and it’s the first one to have an outside developer: Platinum Games, a house known for its action-orientated design philosophy. After playing this new Star Fox at E3, GamesBeat came away unimpressed with the controls, a mix of the Wii U GamePad’s traditional sticks and buttons and the built-in gyro sensors.
