Star Fox fans, get ready! Nintendo has just dropped a huge surprise with the announcement of a Star Fox 64 remake, simply titled Star Fox, for the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2. This remake promises to bring back those nostalgic vibes with a fresh coat of paint and some cool new features.
This remake comes after some major leaks hinted at new additions to the franchise, and it’s the first Star Fox game in almost a decade. The game stays true to its roots with on-rails shooting action, including those epic moments of piloting an Arwing over iconic planets like Corneria. But this time, the graphics have received a massive update, and there are some exciting gameplay tweaks. Players can now use mouse controls on the Switch 2, or team up with a friend using the Joy-Con for a co-op experience. If you’re into retro vibes, you can still use the Switch’s N64 controller!
Nintendo has also spiced up the story with fresh cutscenes and added a Challenge mode for those looking for an extra test of skill. Plus, Battle mode lets you take on players globally or locally, with online play enhanced by AR filters that mimic your facial expressions. This announcement comes alongside other exciting Nintendo news, like upcoming games for the Switch 2 and Nintendo’s recent moves in the market.
Mark your calendars for June 25 when Star Fox launches exclusively for Switch 2. Keep an eye out for more updates, and maybe even some more surprise announcements from Nintendo!
