We recently had chance to play over an hour of the 2026 remake of Star Fox on Nintendo Switch 2, and we’ve put together a video for you to see it in action.
You can read this preview in written form, here, where I said: “The most important thing, though, is that it just plays so well. Everything feels great, looks lovely, and the soundtrack (so far, obviously) also feels like a winner. It may be my aging memory playing up, but I seem to remember the charged shot firing upon lifting the finger off the button, yet here you have to charge, release, then quickly hit the button again. That’s pretty much the only negative I could think of, and after getting home and trying Star Fox 64, my memory was proven wrong as that’s how it plays there too.
After spending over an hour with Nintendo’s new take on Star Fox, I can say I’m absolutely in. This is a gorgeous, glorious revisiting of a classic, and a series that deserves more love. The multiplayer left me wanting to spend all day playing it, such was the pick up and play enjoyable nature, while the co-op was way more fun than I anticipated. While I’m not sure the Augmented Reality GameChat based fun will be for everyone, it feels like the cherry on top of a package that feels bursting with content, and as though it’s been created with love and reverence for both the source material and its audience. I can’t wait to play more of this. I loved Star Fox”
In other Switch 2 news, we just reviewed Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, and it’s great.
Star Fox is coming to Nintendo Switch 2 on June 25th.
