Moviegoers suspected something was up when Fox McCloud made it into The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, which has generated $889 million at the box office.
And now Nintendo announced the Star Fox remake will debut on the Nintendo Switch 2 system on June 25.
In a Nintendo Direct presentation, Nintendo announced that Star Fox, an action-packed adventure based on Star Fox 64 for Nintendo 64, will debut this summer.
Players will experience new gameplay modes (and rediscover returning ones) as they embark on a dangerous mission to save the Lylat System – which can now be explored in greater detail thanks to a complete visual overhaul of the game. Nintendo is making the game itself.
Maniacal scientist Andross seeks control of the Lylat star system, and only Fox McCloud and the Star Fox team stand in his way. Players will pilot their Arwing and travel the system battling opposing forces and performing thrilling aerial maneuvers, like barrel rolls and somersaults, to shake off enemies. Find alternative routes through the Lylat System during multiple playthroughs, taking on new missions and varied challenges. Plus, team up with friends in the new 4-vs-4 multiplayer Battle Mode.
Star Fox is a cinematic take on the Star Fox 64 game, featuring newly overhauled character designs, freshly revamped looks for each stage, plus detailed cutscenes, fully voiced dialogue and a sweeping orchestral soundtrack. The game also includes Joy-Con 2 mouse controls and a brand-new GameChat feature that puts you in the cockpit as your favorite characters from the Star Fox universe.
Nintendo and Argonaut launched the original Star Fox back in 1993.
