On Wednesday, Nintendo announced the next Star Fox game with approximately, oh, five minutes of lead time. Star Fox<\/em> (2026) will be released June 25 for Nintendo Switch 2, and is based on Star Fox 64<\/em>, Fox McCloud’s 1997 showing on Nintendo 64. It is but one of many remakes (or reimaginations, or recreations, or re-whatevers) of Star Fox 64<\/em>. By my count, on technicalities at least, this is the fifth<\/em> time we’re getting a version of this game \u2014 not counting its addition to the Nintendo Classics library.<\/p>\n

The original Star Fox<\/em> kicked off the series in 1993 for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. On-rails shooter. Ground-breaking graphics for its era. Sparked a new franchise about a space pilot fox and his various animal friends. All things considered, a pretty successful game!<\/p>\n

Star Fox 2<\/em>, a follow-up to the original Star Fox<\/em>, was reportedly mostly finished before Nintendo canned it, largely due to advanced graphical capabilities from competitors like the then-new PlayStation 1. Instead, Nintendo opted to reboot the original with better graphics for the N64. Star Fox 64<\/em> was the definitive version of the game, and is still widely considered one of the best N64 games of all time.<\/p>\n

In 2011, Nintendo released Star Fox<\/em> again<\/em>, this time as a port on the 3DS. This re-release hewed closely to the N64 version, effectively a one-to-one recreation, albeit with a major graphical overhaul and other modernizations. The 3D features impressed critics at the time. The “half-baked,” to quote IGN, multiplayer mode did not.<\/p>\n

A whole five years later, Nintendo teamed up with PlatinumGames \u2014 best-known at the time for Bayonetta<\/em>, Vanquish<\/em>, and Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance<\/em> \u2014 for Star Fox Zero<\/em>. A confused entry, Star Fox Zero<\/em> was positioned as a bit of a series reboot, borrowing story elements from Star Fox<\/em>\/Star Fox 64<\/em>\/Star Fox 64 3D<\/em> but adding new gameplay elements in the form of ham-fisted Wii U features. It was effectively a misfire of a tech demo for Nintendo’s most maligned modern console. Polygon described it at the time as a “not … terrible-looking game” that “feels like every muddled, unsuccessful experiment with the Wii U was stuffed into a single game.” Rare miss for PlatinumGames.<\/p>\n

And that brings us to now. Following a decade on the bench, Nintendo is officially bringing Fox back (and so soon after his cameo in The Super Mario Galaxy Movie<\/em>). Beyond the 4K graphical upgrade and legitimately nightmare-inducing new character models, Star Fox <\/em>(2026) will feature co-op gameplay and a 4v4 multiplayer mode. Otherwise, it looks a whole lot like Star Fox 64<\/em>. Again. You can read all about it here:<\/p>\n
