Star Fox
What critics said
IGN80Despite knowing nearly all Star Fox 64’s shortcuts and secrets for close to 30 years now, this remake’s impressive coat of paint and compelling new cutscenes made me smile like I just did my very first barrel roll.
Eurogamer80Velan's conservative but accomplished remake goes all-in on spectacle to much success, even if the script could do with some wit.
TheGamer80But having played and fallen in love with it, I’m confident in saying this is exactly what Star Fox needed and the definitive way to experience an all-time classic.

Feature: The Obliteration Of Andross - A Tactical Analysis For Maximum Damage In 'Star Fox'
Charting Star Fox’s most Venom-ous route. I’ve always been a champion of Fox and the gang, from resolutely defending the merits of Command on the DS to battling through Star Fox Zero’s janky multiplayer in anticipation for the team’s glorious return on the Switch 2, but nothing could’ve prepared me for quite how obsessed I’ve been with Velan Studio’s sublime Star Fox 64 remake since its launch six odd weeks ago. I've finally checked off every medal and challenge in the game and as I repeatedly t
"Randy Is A Madman!" - SNES Star Fox Gets A Speed Boost Thanks To Super FX 3
"The game is now able to hit the maximum 20fps far more often than before". The original SNES Star Fox has been upgraded to make use of Randy Linden's new Super FX 3 chipset, which was designed to power Limited Run's recent update of the SNES DOOM port. Released in 1993, Star Fox was the first SNES game to use the Argonaut-designed Super FX chip, which allowed the console to pull off the kind of 3D wizardry that was unheard of on consoles at the time.

Opinion: What's The Best Star Fox Stage, And Why Is It Sector X?
Sector Why? I'm all for celebrating the little anniversaries. For example, did you know that Star Fox launched on Switch 2 one week ago today? Far from the biggest achievement, I'll admit, but it does mean that one thought has been rattling around in my head for a whopping seven days now (even longer, if you include the review period), and I just can't shake it: Man, Sector X rules. This smashed-up shuttle and I go way back to my very first playthrough of Star Fox 64 in the early 2000s. It haunt
Japanese Charts: Star Fox Proves There's Nothing Wrong With Its G-Diffuser In Week One
Systems? Check. We are back with our latest look at the Japanese charts, courtesy of Famitsu, and after grabbing the gold in the UK earlier this week, Star Fox has pulled the top prize in Japan, too. Fox's latest adventure barrel-rolled to the top spot in its debut week, nabbing over 41,000 sales. That means Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream has taken an unusual break from pole position and now finds itself in second place.
UK Charts: Star Fox Barrel Rolls To The Top And Grabs The Gold Medal
Beating the An-dross. The latest UK boxed charts data is in, and it's a resounding victory for Star Fox on Switch 2, which shoots to the top in its debut week. A lot of retailers had some compelling launch prices for the game that no doubt helped to fuel the physical sales, with many undercutting Nintendo's digital price significantly. Rayman: 30th Anniversary Edition also made its physical debut on the Switch at number 12 this week, with PS5 just about taking the lion's share with 56% of the pl
Iconic Issues: Retro Gamer #28 (Star Fox) - The Magazine That Changed My Life Forever
20 years ago, somewhere near the Lylat System... Before we begin, you'll have to forgive me for making this piece even more personal and introspective than my typical content, as it relates to what is possibly one of the most important issues of a magazine that I've ever seen – primarily because, were it not for Retro Gamer issue 28, I might not even be writing these words (I'll let you decide if that's a good or bad thing). Back in 2006, I was working in a full-time job that was totally unrelat

McCoy previously voiced characters in Neverness to Everness, Genshin Impact, and anime series such as That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime.
Review: Star Fox On Switch 2 Is a Refined Return to an Iconic Game - and the Rail Shooter Genre
A great addition to the pack. The new Star Fox remake for Switch 2 is a fascinating game in its own right - and a key revival for the returning rail shooter genre. While the days of such a game being a system-seller are long gone, the thrill remains - and this new incarnation is just as engaging as the original, while adding on some thoughtful new features. From a Digital Foundry perspective, Star Fox also stands as one of the best-looking games to ship on Switch 2; it's a smooth, polished and
Round Up: The Reviews For Star Fox On Switch 2 Are In
Slippy Turd? Remember a mere two months ago when we didn't even know about Star Fox? Hahaha, good times. Well it's almost here now, and to say we're excited would be an understatement. The remake launches on 25th June 2026 (that's tomorrow!) and a whole bunch of reviews have gone live, giving us a pretty clear indication of what we can expect from Nintendo's latest first-party release. First up, however, let's remind ourselves of what the lovely Jim Norman thought in his review for Nintendo Life

Star Fox Review
This remake of Star Fox 64 proves the Arwing isn’t out of style quite yet.
Star Fox Is A New Beginning That Undermines Itself
There's a reason Nintendo keeps remaking Star Fox 64. The N64 iteration of the rail shooter--at the time, the second Star Fox release--remains the apex of the franchise: a genuinely fantastic game that still holds up and stands the test of time. Subsequent sequels that have attempted to recapture the magic have floundered by comparison. This latest iteration, simply titled "Star Fox" for what I can only assume is meant to be a soft reboot, plays just as great as you remember and looks even bette
Review: Star Fox (Switch 2) - Stays On The Rails, But Absolutely Hits The Target
Pigma balls. I was a little conflicted at the announcement of Star Fox's long-awaited return. One of Nintendo's finest titles with fresh visuals and updated controls? Yes please. But the same game I've already played tens of times over across various consoles and remakes? Ehh. A replay of the OG Star Fox 64 (or Lylat Wars, if you'd prefer) soon brought me around to the idea, convincing me that a healthy modernisation could, in fact, work wonders for McCloud's very best. And what do you know, I w
Star Fox review
I recently finished reading Keza MacDonald's excellent Super Nintendo, a largely celebratory book about the company that "helped the world have fun", which nevertheless sounds a note of understandable caution at its conclusion. The author is concerned – and it's a concern I share – that Nintendo has been playing things too safe of late, that its release slate (with the odd exception) has become alarmingly conservative. It's time, surely, for the next Splatoon, and by that I don't mean Raiders. A
ICYMI: Nintendo Releases An Awesome Movie-Inspired Star Fox Poster
Not long now. The Star Fox remake for Switch 2 is just around the corner, and Nintendo is expecedly in full marketing mode. So in case you missed it, the company recently put out a ridiculously cool movie-inspired poster for the game that you simply have to see. It showcases the Great Fox airship orbiting an ominous red planet in the background. There's no gunfire or explosions to speak of here – just a solitary ship quietly moving through space, and it's lovely. Read the full article on nintend

Crylat Wars. If you've played the Star Fox demo on Switch 2, then you'll know that it's an absolute visual feast, updating the N64 original to a degree we simply never thought possible (ball's in your court now, Ocarina). One person who's been open about how much the update has impacted him is none other than Takaya Imamura, the art director for Star Fox 64 and the developer largely responsible for the series' overall presentation.
