15 Most Epic Video Game Boss Battles Of 2016 (So Far)
13. Star Fox Zero - Star Wolf Pilots
It seems as though the rivalry between Star Fox and Star Wolf is a neverending battle. No matter how many times the two go head-to-head, they're inevitably doomed to square off once more. Those of you who played Star Fox 64 will remember the Star Wolf battles, and it was one of the few in-game areas that took a break from the on-the-rails shooter type gameplay to an open battlefield.
Star Fox Zero certainly strayed from the path Star Fox 64 had made so many years ago gameplay wise, but at the same time it stayed very loyal. It's changed in your Arwing is now able to transform, and a whole new aiming system that certainly takes some getting used to. But the first battle against all the Star Wolf Pilots holds true to Star Fox 64 like nothing else.
Again, you're set in an open battlefield squaring off against Andrew, Leon, Pigma and Wolf as they trade one-liners with Slippy, Peppy and Falco. Slippy even yells at you to "do a somersault!" at one point - an ode to the now infamous "do a barrel roll" quip. It's a good throw back to the N64 title, and it will be a nice dose of nostalgia for fans.
