Celebrate Star Fox’s Imminent Launch with This Nifty Little Commercial

  • On June 25, 2026, Nintendo released Star Fox for the Nintendo Switch 2, developed by Velan Studios and priced at $49.99 for digital or $60 for physical cartridge.
  • Serving as a faithful recreation of Star Fox 64, the remake retains core mechanics that were thrilling 29 years ago while updating visuals and the orchestral soundtrack.
  • New features include online 4v4 Battle Mode matches across three maps, alongside augmented reality capabilities allowing players to puppet character portraits in GameChat.
  • Technical feedback points to awkward lighting effects that cast a green glow on Fox McCloud, while critics note some mechanics feel antiquated despite the visual overhaul.
  • Nintendo has previously used remakes by external studios to gauge audience interest, and analysts suggest this project acts as an on-ramp for future original Star Fox titles.
