Star Fox

Star Fox is a cinematic, ground-up remake of Star Fox 64, developed by Velan Studios (the team behind Knockout City and Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit) with Nintendo producers Yoshiaki Koizumi and Shinya Saito overseeing the project. If you played Star Fox 64 on the N64 in 1997, you know the core: Fox McCloud and the Star Fox team blast through the Lylat System in their Arwings, fighting Andross across branching planet paths. Barrel rolls, laser upgrades, smart bombs, and the eternal question of whether you can save Falco in time.

This remake keeps that core intact and wraps it in a full visual overhaul. We're talking fully voiced dialogue, extended cutscenes between levels that flesh out the narrative and characters, an epic orchestral soundtrack, and character redesigns that push the Star Fox team toward a more realistic, cinematic aesthetic. The branching pathways are back. The three difficulty levels (Easy, Normal, Hard) are back. The barrel roll is back. Do a barrel roll.

New additions include a Challenge Mode where individual levels can be replayed with different objectives, a co-op mode where one player pilots and the other shoots using a Joy-Con 2, and competitive multiplayer where players split into Star Fox and Star Wolf teams across three maps. The game supports GameChat with Star Fox character filters on your webcam, GameShare so you can play multiplayer with original Switch owners, and Joy-Con 2 mouse mode for targeting.
