Synopsis

Andross, an ape exiled from the Lylat Planetary System by General Pepper seeks revenge by attacking the planet Corneria and its innocence, kidnapping Pepper in the process. Meanwhile, it's another usual day for Team Star Fox, a gang of space mercenaries: Lazing around, getting angry at video games, and being lectured by their mentors. But all of that changes once they receive a distress call from a familiar face.

Meet Fox McCloud, son of the deceased James McCloud, as he and his top-notch crew—Slippy Toad, Falco Lombardi and Peppy Hare—fight back against Andross's robotic army in style, and attempt to save Corneria from the skies.

Star Fox Zero: The Battle Begins is a short ONA based off of the Wii U game. It was handled by Wit studio and designed to advertise the game. Which was a kind of pointless move given that it was on a system very few people bought. Don't get me wrong, the Wii U was a solid system with some really good games. It just flopped. Either way, let's check out the animation.

Story:

We open with Andross planning revenge against General Pepper. This is quickly followed by our introduction to the Starfox team aboard the Great Fox and enjoying some leisure. This is ...

While I was watching Star Fox Zero: The Battle Begins, I had many memories of the game Star Fox 64. Some expressions of the characters are similar to that game, or had been directly taken from there (and we can't forget the classic "do a barrel roll"). It caused me a nostalgic feel. Some songs were also compositions extracted from there. Although the type of humor is somewhat bland and the plot is simple, the action scenes are well worked and are very enjoyable.

In summary, it's not just a very-long teaser trailer for the game Star Fox Zero, but it can be a great piece ...

Story
Sigh... i have been taught to take the good with bad. Which i have used in life. Which lead me to out with the old and in with the new. Which most Americans live their life on. Whether it is ordering the latest i phone or modernized home feature appliance. To some extent it is great but the rest is pathetic. Maybe, this is why i am having a hard time giving this a higher or lower rating.

Plot wise stayed true to the game. That dedication is not as often as one would think. Ending was a nice tease given the fact ...
