Star Fox is an action-packed adventure based on Star Fox 64, featuring newly overhauled character designs, freshly revamped looks for each stage, plus detailed cutscenes, fully voiced dialogue and a sweeping orchestral soundtrack. The game also includes Joy-Con 2 mouse controls and a brand-new GameChat feature that puts you in the cockpit as your favorite characters from the Star Fox universe.
StarFox delivers a fast, fun, frantic, and focused arcade shooting experience, preserving and in many ways enhancing what makes it timeless, unique, and singular in the highly technical on-rails shooter genre.
Literally the only thing that could make this better for me would be slightly tweaked cinematics, and the addition of DLC levels, perhaps even...
This new version is by far the best in the series, and of course Nintendo knew with Fox appearing in the new Super Mario movie, people would be interested in its return.
The Star Fox remake stays too faithful to the original. Even the tank controls are implemented terribly. And aside from the short length, the price becomes a major factor. The question is: are you willing to pay $60 for the cartridge (or $50 for the digital version) to get a top-notch but short adventure?
In the end, Star Fox for Nintendo Switch 2 is a perfectly good remake of a perfectly good space shooter. Sure, blasting across the Lylat system is amazing thanks to the unbelievable fidelity that all returning planets possess, while the addition of fully voiced cutscenes help deepen the story of Fox McCloud defending the galaxy from Emperor Andross...
As it stands, this is a great re-introduction for the franchise and will hopefully help kickstart the return of Star Fox.
