A remake of Star Fox 64 is coming to Switch 2 this June
The story
After his unexpected and much-discussed debut in THe Super Mario Galaxy Movie, Fox 'Star FOc' McCloud also gets to appear in his own brand new Switch 2 game. Announced tonight during a very unexpected Nintendo Direct, we got our first look at the title, which is simply called Star Fox . It is based on the Nintendo 64 title, Star Fox 64 , but with completely overhauled visuals and new character des
From the source
The Nintendo Direct jumped straight from an introduction to the game to a trailer showing off the pretty lush new visuals; showing Star Fox and pals flying in formation in their four ships before the game switches to the game in action. Stage layouts are the same as Starfox 64, but everything looks... well, like Switch 2 game.
There is a multiplayer element to the game, where Team Star Fox and Team Star Wolf will battle it out for aeiral supremacy over three maps. Players will need to retrieve cargo, collect items, or take each other on in dogfights. You can play with Game Share, letting one person invite up to three others either locally or online via Game Chat. You can use the Switch 2's mouse to target, and share JoyCon to have one player target whilst the other pilots (good luck with that). So whilst this is a remake of Star Fox 64, it seems Nintendo really has gone all-out with the Switch 2-specific bells and whistles.
