    Nintendo’s transmedia ambition isn't lost on us: this Star Fox targets fans and genre enthusiasts, but also those who first met the space fox in Super Mario Galaxy: The Movie. However, it has the potential to win over new fans to the shoot-'em-up genre. Those willing to master the Arwing and the Lylat System will find a game here offering dozens of hours of play and a tremendously satisfying experience. It is one of those games that leaves you feeling truly fulfilled as you learn and internalize its mechanics. Whether this premise will capture the attention of the 2026 audience, however, remains to be seen.

    Star Fox is an unapologetically arcade-style experience, remaining completely faithful to Star Fox 64, perhaps even to a fault. The Nintendo 64 classic has been beautifully modernized with impressive visuals and fluid animations, complemented by excellent controls and strong replay value. That said, in an era where remakes often expand upon their source material, it's fair to expect the developers to go a step further by adding new content or fresh surprises.

    Even though we’re retreading familiar territory here, Star Fox on the Switch 2 is a welcome retelling of a remake of an SNES classic. It’s basically a gorgeous cinematic facelift for a thirty-year-old game you’ve likely beaten four times already on different consoles. Fortunately, that means it is still insanely fun to barrel roll through space with your crew. The flip side, of course, is that the campaign is still short, even if you go back to chase down high scores and medals. I am just happy, though, to see Fox McCloud back in the cockpit of his own franchise instead of just taking up a slot on the Smash Bros. roster.
