Original Nintendo Seal of Quality
Another pleasant and unexpected surprise last year was not only the announcement of a new Star Fox game, but the promise of a 2015 release as well. During a January showcase of The Legend of Zelda for Wii U, we were told that both games were still on track for a 2015 release, with Star Fox actually coming out before Zelda, despite there having seen substantially less of the space shooter than the open-world adventure. Now, with Zelda being bumped out to 2016, it’s possible Star Fox may be delayed as well. Whatever the case may be, we will undoubtedly learn more real soon, during Nintendo’s E3 announcements.
The other main first-party Nintendo game you can expect to see a whole bunch of at E3 is Yoshi’s Woolly World. More and more details have been coming out lately, including the announcement of Yarn Yoshi amiibo, amiibo functionality for other characters, and various gameplay videos. Yoshi’s Woolly World has confirmed release dates for Japan (July 16), Europe (June 26), and Australia (June 25), but oddly enough, only the tentative “Fall 2015” has been given for North America. You can expect the North American release date to be finalized and announced during E3.
