Fox's wing trembles on a barrel roll, the camera tracking him through three-dimensional space with the precision that only Wit Studio can deliver. This is Star Fox exactly as it lives in your head from every arcade memory, every perfect Arwing maneuver crystallized into animation that refuses to let the source material down. One episode means it never outstays its welcome, never turns the charm into a joke.
Andross, an ape General Pepper once banished from the Lylat system, returns for revenge by striking Corneria and abducting Pepper. Team Star Fox, a crew of space mercenaries, is passing an ordinary day of lounging around, raging at video games and sitting through lectures from their mentors when a distress call from someone they know changes everything. Fox McCloud, son of the late James McCloud, leads Slippy Toad, Falco Lombardi and Peppy Hare against Andross's army of robots in a fight to save Corneria from the air. Released online as a single episode, this sci-fi action story sets up the events of Nintendo's Star Fox Zero on the Wii U.
