Overview
- Nintendo, which shadow-dropped a dedicated Star Fox Direct on Wednesday, confirmed a remake of Star Fox 64 for Switch 2 titled Star Fox.
- The campaign keeps the original stage layouts but adds a full visual overhaul, new cutscenes and mission briefings, fully voiced dialogue, an orchestral score, and a James McCloud prologue.
- Modes include Campaign, a replay-focused Challenge Mode, and a 4v4 Battle Mode with objectives across Corneria, Fichina, and Sector Y.
- Switch 2 features highlighted by Nintendo include Joy‑Con 2 mouse aiming, a pilot‑and‑gunner co‑op option, GameShare support for joining locally or online, and optional play with the Nintendo 64 controller.
- GameChat now offers AR character avatars that mirror a player’s face via webcam, pre‑orders are live on the eShop with U.S. listings at $49.99, and early reaction notes excitement tempered by criticism of the more realistic character designs and the choice to revisit 64 again after a long series hiatus and Fox’s recent movie cameo.
