Star Fox Guard[a] is a tower defense video game co-developed by Nintendo and PlatinumGames for the Wii U. The game was bundled as a separate disc for the first print edition of Star Fox Zero during its release in April 2016, and as a digital download code on the Wii U eShop afterwards.[3][4]
Gameplay[edit]
Star Fox Guard is a 3D tower defense game in which players must protect various bases, owned by Slippy Toad's uncle, Grippy, from oncoming attackers by monitoring security cameras. The television displays footage from all of the available security cameras while the Wii U GamePad features an overhead view of the base. To defend the base's core, players must watch the monitors carefully for any oncoming attackers and switch control to one of the available cameras in order to fire its weapon. Enemies are divided into two classes; Combat robots, which must all be defeated in order to progress, and Chaos robots, which hinder the player by tampering with the cameras, such as obscuring the view or showing fake footage. The game features 100 missions and an editor mode that allows players to edit the behavior of enemies in levels and share them online.[5]
Do lowlights fade. Your Highlights Can Fade, Too Just because they aren't allover color, does not mean highlights aren't susceptible to fading. It's not the color rinsing out, though, it's actually the color. A: Highlights do not fade in the sense that color tends to fade a month or two after application. The reason for this is that highlights are attained by applying bleach to hair. Bleaching hair is a chemical process during which the hair is literally stripped of its color pigments. The longer you keep the bleach on, the more pigment is destroyed.
Development[edit]
Star Fox Guard was announced by Super Mario series creator Shigeru Miyamoto at E3 2014, as Project Guard.[6] The game was rebranded and renamed as Star Fox Guard during a Nintendo Direct presentation on March 3, 2016.[7]

Star Fox Guard received mixed to positive reviews, according to review aggregatorMetacritic.[8] Jose Otero from IGN praised its 'clever enemies,' controls, and extra missions, but criticizing the 'simple campaign' and 'bland graphics'.[11] Jonathan Harrington from Nintendo Enthusiast praised its gameplay, variety, and online sharing, but criticized the lack of humor, low budget visuals, and music.[14] Stephen Totilo from Kotaku stated that despite it having 'just about nothing to do with the aerial shooting gameplay people associate with Star Fox', it was 'one of Nintendo’s most distinct games in years'.[15]
