Star Fox Zero: animated short, Game Center DX, footage (+ Star Fox Guard)

In order to promote Star Fox Zero (which is now available in Japan, and will be available in a few hours in Europe and North America), Nintendo had Production IG and WIT Studio create an animated short. It was streamed live yesterday on Twitch (North America/Europe) and YouTube/NicoNico (Japan). It lasts a little under 15 minutes.

Did you miss the live? No problem: the animated short is now available on Youtube!

Head after the break for the rest of this post!

If you’re interested, here’s the Japanese version of the anime short (unfortunately, it doesn’t come with any subtitles at all):
