At E3 2014, during the Nintendo Treehouse Live broadcast, Mr. Miyamoto showed three prototypes developed by EAD Group No. 5: Project Giant Robot, Project Guard and, in fact, Star Fox for Wii U (which only journalists could watch). A third-party developer will have to help complete the new Star Fox (a fairly common practice of outsourcing for modern Nintendo). Before that, for 6 years, a small team experimented unsuccessfully on the Wii, and 6-10 months before the demonstration, all the developments were transferred to the Wii U. Despite the fact that the game is at an early stage of development, Miyamoto said that they want to release it as soon as possible. rather, they are aimed at the release of the game within a year, that is, by the next E3 or by the end of 2015 it can be expected on the shelves.

What are the features for the new iteration of Star Fox confirmed at the moment?

In terms of format, Miyamoto decided to take inspiration from the British Thunderbirds puppet show and make the game more like a TV series than a full-length film (no, not split the game into episodes). Developing this idea, he explained that the player will have a variety of game scenarios that they can take and start playing. According to Miyamoto, these are like two types of TV programs: prime-time block (traditional Star Fox gameplay) and night broadcast (more experimental and unusual direction). In Project Guard, the Star Fox logo can be seen on cameras, and Miyamoto hinted that this prototype could be part of the game as an example of “night broadcast”. 

In addition to the TV format, the new Star Fox can take from the Thunderbirds that the player will use various vehicles and mechs.

As in the SNES 'canceled Star Fox II' Mech concept, Arwing can land and transform into a Landmaster.

Players will also be able to control a new helicopter for the series, while simultaneously collecting various items from the platforms with a tethered robot that is capable of shooting back at enemies.

As before, Arwing will have an all-range mode, which the press tried out in aerial combat against Star Wolf.

Also in the game there will be a mode "on the rails", which Miyamoto himself calls valley mode.

Unlike the solution from Star Fox 64 3D, this time the gyroscope will allow you to fly and shoot in directions independent of each other.

The GamePad's screen also provides a different vantage point, from the ship's cockpit, allowing you to see details of the environment not available on a TV screen, so you will need to keep an eye on both screens to be successful.

For example, when enemies come in from the flank, you will look at the TV to get around and, by switching your gaze to the GamePad screen, shoot them down.

The game will have splash screens, split into two screens, providing different perspectives of what is happening. 

Slippy, Peppy and Falco will talk to you through the GamePad speakers (similar to Lego City Undercover).

There will also be a co-op mode, where one player can use the Pro Controller to drive vehicles on the TV screen, while another player with a GamePad can be a shooter. The aforementioned tethered robot is one example of such a mode.
