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.
