The RetroBeat: Nintendo’s legendary Star Fox turns 25, but does it have a future?

Star Fox came out for the Super Nintendo on February 21, 1993. Yup, the space shooter with anthropomorphic animals turns 25 years old today.

I remember getting Star Fox as an Easter present shortly after its release. I was only 6 at the time, but I knew the game was a big deal. Star Fox was one of the first games I ever played with 3D graphics. This was an especially impressive feat on the Super Nintendo, a system that was already a couple of years old at the time. But Star Fox wasn’t just a technical marvel. The on-rails shooting was fun, but Nintendo pumped the rather simple shooter full of personality.
