I det nyeste nummeret av Game Informer avsløres det at Star Fox til Wii U ikke vil kreve at du styrer med bevegelseskontroll. Det skal være mulig (i likhet med det tidligere spillene) å spille gjennom eventyret med analogspakene, noe vi mistenker at mange setter pris på.
"Nintendo is planning on bringing Fox Mcloud out of retirement for a new entry on the Wii U. Fox will be able to fly his Arwing and seamlessly transform into a tank during certian sequences. Pilots can control the game either with their Gamepad's analog sticks or motion control. The game was very early in development and looked admittedly rought the last we saw of it, but we're hoping Fox gets the new, grand adventure he deserves."
