News: Nintendo is going to be at WonderCon this year where the public will get its first chance to play some games before they release this spring.

Nintendo is headed to WonderCon in Los Angeles in a couple of days and it has revealed the lineup of games that will be there for you to see. Show attendees will be able to play Star Fox Zero and Star Fox Guard before the Wii U games launch on April 21. Star Fox Zero is a flying and shooting game starring legendary space pilot Fox McCloud. Players will blast through an onslaught of enemy forces to bring peace to the galaxy. In this white-knuckle space shooter, it'll take more than luck to master the Arwing jet, the Gyrowing flight drone and the Landmaster tank.

Additionally, attendees can experience Metroid Prime: Federation Force, a game that focuses on co-op multiplayer missions. Up to four players, each with her or his own Nintendo 3DS system, take on various missions within the Bermuda system, battling intergalactic creatures and solving puzzles. This will be the first time the public will have hands-on time with the Nintendo 3DS game before it launches this spring.

"WonderCon is a great place to interact with our fans and let them play some of our most anticipated games of the first half of 2016," said Scott Moffitt, Nintendo of America's Executive Vice President of Sales & Marketing. "Fans will get to experience Star Fox Zero, Star Fox Guard and Metroid Prime: Federation Force at the show."

The following games will be playable on the show floor:

Wii U

Star Fox Zero

Star Fox Guard

Pokken Tournament

Nintendo 3DS

Hyrule Warriors Legends

Metroid Prime: Federation Force

On Saturday, March 26, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., the developers from Koei Tecmo will participate in a meet-and-greet in the Nintendo booth. This is a great opportunity for fans to ask them questions about their work on the game, take a memorable photo or even bring their Hyrule Warriors Legends game to be signed by the people who made it.

On Saturday evening in room 515A in the Los Angeles Convention Center, Nintendo will host a panel from 6 to 7 p.m. featuring team members from Koei Tecmo, the developers of the Hyrule Warriors Legends game for Nintendo 3DS. The developers will discuss creating the game, which brings all the action of the hit Wii U game to Nintendo 3DS, and they will also dive into some of the new characters like Linkle. The panel is sure to be informative and interesting for not only fans of the game, but also anyone who has interest in game development.
