The news comes by way of the official Star Fox Zero’s webpage on Nintendo’s website which has been updated to include language, download size, and more.

Star Fox Zero largely follows the classic gameplay of its predecessors, such as Star Fox 64, in which players control Fox McCloud as he pilots his Arwing craft through various levels. The game is controlled using the Wii U GamePad, with the left control stick used to maneuver the craft while gyroscopic controls can be used to aim weapons. A cockpit view is displayed on the GamePad’s screen to assist with aiming. Various elements return from previous games, including Fox’s teammates, Falco, Peppy, and Slippy, who can assist the player if they protect them from enemy attacks, as well as Star Wolf team rivals Wolf O’Donnell, Leon Powalski, Pigma Dengar, and Andrew Oikonny. Some of the game’s vehicles can transform in certain situations. For example, the Arwing can transform into the Walker which was first seen in the unreleased Super NES video game Star Fox 2, which lets the player freely walk around on platforms. The Landmaster can transform into the Gravmaster, which can perform extended aerial maneuvers. A new vehicle introduced to the series is the Gyrowing, a drone-like helicopter which can lower a small robot that can enter small spaces and hack into computers

Star Fox Zero launches exclusively for Wii U in Japan on April 21, 2016 — the day after (April 22), the game will be seeing a worldwide release date.
