Previous post Nintendo announces a new Star Fox for the Switch 2<div><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1">It turns out Fox McCloud’s appearance in the <em><a href="https://www.theverge.com/entertainment/904033/the-super-mario-galaxy-movie-review">Super Mario Galaxy Movie</a></em> was a tease of things to come: Nintendo just surprise announced the first new <em>Star Fox </em>game in a decade. The game is called, simply, <em>Star Fox</em>, and it’s out very soon, launching on June 25th.</p></div><div><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1">Nintendo says that it’s “based” on the classic space shooter <em>Star Fox 64</em>, but with redesigned characters and upgraded visuals. Essentially, it sounds like a modern remake of the game with the same level design. Based on the first look at the game, it looks thoroughly modern, with incredibly detailed characters, including a surprisingly realistic Slippy Toad. And yes, the in-ship banter remains. In addition to flying ships, there will be a handful of other vehicles to pilot, including a submarine.</p></div><div><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1">The <em>Star Fox</em> reboot also includes some new features, like online play for its new four-on-four dogfighting multiplayer battle mode, and the option to play with mouse controls. Perhaps the most surprising addition is the realistic character avatars that players can use during online play. Nintendo describes the features as an “interactive avatar that mirrors your expressions and movements in GameChat.” But if you’re looking for an old-school feel, the game does support the N64 controller.</p></div><div><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1">The game will cost $49.99 digitally, according to Nintendo’s eShop listing. The physical price <a href="https://www.theverge.com/games/900590/nintendo-switch-2-digital-games-pricing">is expected to be different</a>; <em>Yoshi and the Mysterious Book</em>, for example, has a $10 price difference between digital and physical.</p></div><div><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1">You can watch the full <em>Star Fox</em> presentation, which lasts about 15 minutes, here:</p></div><div><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1">The announcement comes as Nintendo has a relatively sparse lineup for the Switch 2 for the rest of 2026. Outside of Star Fox, the only first-party titles on the schedule are <em>Yoshi and the Mysterious Book</em>, <em>Rhythm Heaven Groove</em>, <em>Splatoon Raiders</em>, and <em>Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave</em>.</p></div><div><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1"><em><strong>Update May 6th</strong>: Added the digital price.</em></p></div>#Nintendo #announces #Star #Fox #SwitchEntertainment,Gaming,Nintendo Next post Rosé and Puma Take the H-Street to the Suburbs in Ivory
