Most Anticipated Video Games of 2016, Part 1: Sequels, Remakes and Adaptations
Many of those AAA titles you were expecting in 2015? They're coming in 2016—at least, as of now. The year ahead will see a conclusion to Nathan Drake's Uncharted saga, the beginning of a new chapter in the Mass Effect series, the arrival of Link and Zelda in HD on the Wii U, a new Dark Souls game, and much more. Sure, there are plenty of intriguing brand-new properties arriving this year, too—and we'll preview those a bit later this week. For now, take a look at this year's notable returning videogame series.
The previous console release in Nintendo's scrolling shooter series was the disappointing (or underrated?) Star Fox: Assault, released for the GameCube back in 2005. Over a decade later, the series is reborn in the form of Star Fox Zero, which retains enough of the formula to be a true Star Fox game while advancing the gameplay in several ways. Co-developed by Platinum Games (Bayonetta 2), Zero utilizes the GamePad's second screen to give you a first-person in-cockpit view to help increase your targeting accuracy, while your Airwing now has the ability to transform into a walking, two-legged robot (a concept borrowed from the aborted Star Fox 2). Experienced Star Fox players should expect an adjustment period for the new controls.
