    I'm pretty sure that says "Download Code".


    Yep - that image shows the three boxed editions available:

    Star Fox Zero solus - retail disc
    Star Fox Guard solus - download code
    Star Fox Zero First Print Edition - two retail discs

    £60? Nintendo need to cop the f*** on and stop ripping us off. We're a small base of loyal Wii U owners and they're trying to bleed us dry. Show us some reward and respect for sticking by you Nintendo. That Star Fox Guard "game" is a mickey mouse Miyamoto experiment that he's shoehorned into the Star Fox universe. Just like he's determined to rush the game out and force unintuitive gamepad controls on us as well with no alternative. No online multiplayer either. I await the reviews with great interest.

    First print = Steel book, Star Fox Zero, Star Fox Guard DISK
    Standard = Star Fox Zero Disk
    Star Fox Guard = DLC code.

    Where is the confusion? lol

    think it was confirmed on the direct that the special edition was containing a disc and would be the only place to get it.

I think it's a limited run, possibly? With the wii U dying this year or next, I can't imagine them printing huge amounts of this and the physical edition of Fox Guard ONLY comes with the first print. Everything else is a download code.£59.99 may actually seem cheap.


    Not sure... certainly the only other "First Print Edition" (Bayonetta 2) isn't common, but Coolshop having this available suggests to me that stocks may be higher for Star Fox Zero. This is Nintendo first-party IP, after all...

Now they are tacking this POS ios game on and charging £60 for it? I am a nintendo wii u owner and a fan but not a fanboy. Nintendo seems to treat its "fans" the worst it seems. I mean come on, starfox zero should cost no more than £20 and this game should come for an extra £5 max. Have you seen it? I will get these so called "limited" editions once the price stabilises which happens very quickly to nintendo games these days. Also this whole BS about amiibos and nintendo first party titles not dropping in price is utter junk.



    Lol, what?

    No it doesn't. The price of actual limited editions/first prints (NOT Ambio bundles) tends to spiral upwards very quickly.

    Nintendo IP games tend to go for £30-40, sometimes £50. You're never going to get it for £20.

    £30 - Game
    £10 - Guard
    £10 - Steelbook

    It shouldn't be £60, but it saying a limited run first print of a game should be £20-25 is ridiculous.

    I see that the "First Print Edition" is also up for pre-order - though £59.95 is surprisingly pricey. I'd expect in this case that the UK RRP may end up being lower than that - hopefully we'll find out soon enough!

    For those that pre-ordered Star Fox Zero from TGC for £26 can get this also for less than £40.

    EDIT: Nintendo Store's price will either be £49.99 or £59.99. Not a fan of either and on the plus side, ordering SFZ solus it's definitely a UK copy which I wholeheartedly prefer.

    I have to disagree with your comments about price. At the end of the day this is a shump, not an action game. It should not have a long campaign. Compare it to something like Ikaruga or Radiant Silver Gun.
