Star Fox Zero is a 3D scrolling shooter video game developed by Nintendo and PlatinumGames for the Wii U. The sixth installment in the Star Fox series, Star Fox Zero was stated by lead producer and supervising director Shigeru Miyamoto as being neither a prequel nor a strict remake of Star Fox 64, while Nintendo later reiterated it was not a prequel while also stating that it was also not a sequel. A standalone tower defense game, Star Fox Guard, was bundled with Star Fox Zero as a separate disc in Zero's initial print or as a digital download code in later prints. After a delay from November 2015, the game was released worldwide in April 2016, to mixed critical reception.

Known Issues

Some frame drops and a lot of audio problems.

As of CEMU v1.11 it will crash on random menus, depending on minor version.

Configuration

This game does not require non-default settings to run properly.
