Review Star Fox Guard (Wii U eShop)
En garde, robot scum!
Project Guard debuted at E3 2014 as part of an initiative from Nintendo to craft new experiences that could only be pulled off with the GamePad.

Poll What's The Best Star Fox Game?
Okay, what's the SECOND best Star Fox game, then?
You hear that? That is the sound of a 25-year-old 64-bit Arwing firing up its turbo boosters as Lylat Wars fast approaches its quarter-century. (Yes, Lylat Wars -- look it up, kids.) To say that the Star Fox franchise never got better than its first sequel isn't too controversial these days. The...

Preview Star Fox Guard Just May Be the Scariest Game of 2016
No, really
Star Fox Guard is a strange spinoff of a beloved franchise, taking on an entirely unorthodox gameplay loop for Fox and friends. You can glean as much from a quick peek at screenshots and videos. What you won't see in your fancy screenshots and schmancy videos is just how much Guard is secretly a horror game. Nintendo Life, we hear you...
About The Game
Grippy Toad, the founder of Corneria Precious Metals Ltd., and Slippy Toad of the legendary team Star Fox needs your help protecting their booming business! All you have to do is keep an eye on a dozen video screens as you mow down waves of attacking robots with your turret-mounted cameras!
Quick! Tap the corresponding camera on the Wii U GamePad controller to see the entrances and shoot those walking and rolling robots down! But just when you think it's all smooth sailing, look out for robots that carry shields, trigger smoke bombs, or even steal your cameras. Complete missions to level up, unlock more missions, and gain access to special cameras you can use to defend each facility. Then, customize your own waves of attacking robots to challenge (or terrorize) your friends!
- Watch video screens as you frantically shoot down waves of attacking robots
- Defend your facility from the evil (but cute) forces of Andross
- Create your own waves of attacking enemies and share them with friends
- Level up to unlock more missions and special cameras

It's like FNAF and tower control types games had a baby, and Slippy decided to become a babysitter.
@VGMusicFox Not really; the concept was shown before FNAF was a thing, or even announced, so this is more of a 'How to be a guard at a mall, but instead of going there and catching the thieves, you shoot them with the camera and it isn't a mall, but some kind of farm and the thieves are robots' type of game.
@Parkour_LMan Oh. The more you know! Actually, that makes me think of Project Guard with a different coat of paint. Sounds like that idea can applied to almost any setting. It probably has been, too. Just never had its own game, before.
