Overview
- Nintendo unveiled Star Fox in a surprise Direct on Wednesday, confirming a Switch 2–exclusive remake of Star Fox 64 that releases on June 25.
- The remake keeps the original stage layouts but adds a full visual overhaul with more animal-like character designs, fully voiced dialogue, an orchestral score, and new story cutscenes with between-mission briefings.
- New ways to play include Challenge Mode with fresh objectives and an online 4v4 Battle Mode that pits Team Star Fox against Team Star Wolf across Corneria, Fichina, and Sector Y.
- Switch 2 features include mouse-style aiming with Joy-Con 2, a co-op option that splits pilot and gunner roles, GameShare for local or online play, N64 controller support, and AR character avatars in GameChat.
- Pre-orders are live at $49.99, and early reaction to the more realistic character look is mixed as Nintendo revives a series that has been largely quiet for a decade.
