  • Star Fox Grand Prix is less like F-Zero Nintendo Life article

• First up, Robertson is keen to stress that the game isn’t like F-Zero; we’re speculating here but it sounds like it’s more akin to NGen Racing on the PlayStation, a game from the creator of Wipeout which saw players racing against one another in fighter jets. Gameplay mixes racing with classic Star Fox moments; blasting enemies will give you a speed boost and you can shoot other players, too.

• Each Grand Prix consists of three tracks and boss battle, and when you’re not racing you can walk around a hub area and interact with famous faces from the Star Fox series (Robertson has heard that Retro is even considering introducing characters from outside of the franchise, such as Donkey Kong). The hub also offers up new story elements and races. Finally, Robertson says that the name is subject to change and that the game could release as early as this year, although 2019 is also a possibility.

  • Leaks are fun to read about.
  • @theJWittz tweeted “I can’t believe people are still falling for “paper leaks”, where someone takes a picture of a piece of paper they printed and pretend it’s an E3 setlist.
    I don’t think I have ever seen one of these to be true. It’s fake leaks for people with zero Photoshop skill.”
