WonderCon attendees will be able to play Star Fox Zero and Star Fox Guard before the Wii U games launch on April 21.
“WonderCon is a great place to interact with our fans and let them play some of our most anticipated games of the first half of 2016,” said Scott Moffitt, Nintendo of America’s Executive Vice President of Sales & Marketing. “Fans will get to experience Star Fox Zero, Star Fox Guard and Metroid Prime: Federation Force at the show.”
Show attendees will be able to play Star Fox Zero and Star Fox Guard before the Wii U games launch on April 21. Star Fox Zero is a flying and shooting game starring legendary space pilot Fox McCloud. Players will blast through an onslaught of enemy forces to bring peace to the galaxy.

Up to four players, each with her or his own Nintendo 3DS system, take on various missions within the Bermuda system, battling intergalactic creatures and solving puzzles.
