It’s coming up to a decade since Nintendo released Star Fox Zero for the Wii U in 2016. But if Nintendo won’t get around to it, someone else has something very similar. Giles Goddard–one of the programmers of the original Star Fox–is working on Wild Blue Skies, a new on-rails sky shooter that looks and feels a lot like his former franchise.
IGN debuted the new gameplay video for Wild Blue Skies, which covers the entirety of the second stage, Hurricane. It’s enough to give you Star Fox 64 flashbacks as Bowie Stray, an anthropomorphic pilot dog, leads his squadron–Chuck, Roe, and Thorne–into battle during a raging storm. And it gives us enough of the new team’s personalities that we can say Thorne is definitely the Slippy Toad of this group.
