Nintendo said it will launch its Star Fox Wii U game in 2015 along with reports on the release dates for major upcoming games.

Star Fox game is a Japanese video game and features anthropomorphic (personification) character designs by Nintendo artist Takaya Imamura. It's a rail shooter in third-person and first-person 3D perspective.

The game has yet to be given a specific title.

The prototype of the game was displayed at Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) in Los Angeles last June.

Shigeru Miyamoto, the game designer, said he was considering teaming-up with an external development studio to help support the project.

"This is a game that we've developed internally up until now, but because we do want to bring this to market very soon, we are looking at some potential partner companies that we can team up with," said Miyamoto.

Even so, Miyamoto also assured fans he'll be directly in charge of the project regardless of what other game studio Nintendo partners with.

The Wii U Star Fox game is the benchmark of the first original game in the series published since 2006 when the company released Star Fox Command on the Nintendo DS.

Nintendo also revealed plans to release the game next year in a tweet that detailed the projects that will ship in 2015.

Star Fox Wii U will appear on both the console's GamePad screen and the television set.

GamePad will let gamers see a cockpit views and allows them to aim and look around independent of the ship's movement.

A TV screen is needed for a larger look at the full battlefield and to keep track of one's fighter when taking evasive play.

Before E3, Miyamoto said the full-blown project was just an internal experiment.
