In 1999, Zero Wing's Engrish intro was re-discovered by members of overclocked.org, culminating in the wildly successful "All your base are belong to us" memetic phenomenon. This ... popularised the introductory and level 1 background music by Tatsuya Uemura.

Zero Wing is a “shoot 'em up” arcade game developed by Toaplan. Like other shoot 'em ups of the time, it featured no real plot except to distinguish that the player is a lone hero who will save the universe from an evil force. As per other shooters, the aim of the game is to shoot all enemies that appear on screen and avoid getting obliterated by lasers, crashing into enemies or into foreground scenery. There are mid-level and end-of-level boss enemies that stay with the player until they are defeated.

During Katoki's redesign for Endless Waltz, the design of Wing Zero is streamlined, with new armour and recolouring to almost solely blue and white. The main change was the addition of angel-like wing binders, which could ... be used as a re-entry shield. The design changes eliminated the "Neo-Bird" mode. The wind binders were equipped with dozen of miniature vernier thrusters, granting the mobile suit unparalleled mobility in flight. The Endless Waltz Wing Zero is referred to as Wing Zero Custom by Bandai in its model kit releases, and also by fans. However, the latest official title of this MS has been finally determined to be "Wing Gundam Zero (Endless Waltz)".

Zero Wing is een Japanse Shoot 'em up-arcade uit 1989. Dit spel is ontwikkeld door Toaplan. Zoals andere shoot 'em ups uit rond die tijd had het geen echt verhaal, behalve dat de speler de held moet uithangen en het universum redden van de slechteriken. Desondanks genoot het wel succes als arcadespel. Hierdoor werd het spel overgezet naar PC en Sega Megadrive in 1991.

The existence of Wing Zero is first revealed in episode 21, when Quatre Raberba Winner discovers a copy of the blueprints and begins work on the Gundam to replace his destroyed Gundam Sandrock. In the same episode, Quatre's father dies. The completed Wing Zero first appears in episode 24, with Quatre at the controls, driven mentally unstable from the combination of his father's death and exposure to the ZERO System. Heero and Trowa (working for OZ, the former unwillingly) are sent to take on Wing Zero. The pair are able to return Quatre to normalcy, although at the apparent cost of Trowa's life, and Heero and Quatre are captured. OZ soldier Trant Clark forces Heero to test the ZERO System, but he and Quatre escape and return to Earth in episode 26.
