Star Fox Direct Details
Family Friendly Gaming News
REDMOND, Wash.--(May 7, in the year of our Lord 2026)--
All systems go! Moviegoers around the world have seen Fox
McCloud take to the skies in The Super Mario Galaxy Movie – soon
players can blast off with Fox and his allies on the Nintendo
Switch 2 system. In today’s Nintendo Direct presentation,
Nintendo announced that Star Fox, an action-packed adventure
based on Star Fox 64 for Nintendo 64, will be coming to Nintendo
Switch 2 on June 25. Experience new gameplay modes (and
rediscover returning ones) as you embark on a dangerous mission
to save the Lylat System – which can now be explored in greater
detail thanks to a complete visual overhaul of the game.
Maniacal scientist Andross seeks control of the Lylat star
system, and only Fox McCloud and the Star Fox team stand in his
way. Pilot your Arwing and travel the system battling opposing
forces and performing thrilling aerial maneuvers, like barrel
rolls and somersaults, to shake off enemies. Find alternative
routes through the Lylat System during multiple playthroughs,
taking on new missions and varied challenges. Plus, team up with
friends in the new 4-vs-4 multiplayer Battle Mode1.
Star Fox is a cinematic take on the Star Fox 64 game, featuring
newly overhauled character designs, freshly revamped looks for
each stage, plus detailed cutscenes, fully voiced dialogue and a
sweeping orchestral soundtrack. The game also includes Joy-Con 2
mouse controls and a brand-new GameChat2 feature that puts you
in the cockpit as your favorite characters from the Star Fox
universe.
A Modernized Adventure: Star Fox is based on the Star Fox 64
game and features a complete visual overhaul that takes full
advantage of the power and performance of the Nintendo Switch 2
system. Explore diverse planets and the insides of a nebula
within the Lylat System, from the vibrant world of Corneria to
the desolate, polluted oceans of Zoness. There are also all-new
cinematic cutscenes featuring fully voiced dialogue and
never-before-seen mission briefings between stages, where you
can learn even more about the characters and worlds that make up
the Star Fox universe.
Intense Space Combat: Hop into your Arwing, a high-performance
aerospace fighter, and use laser blasts to take down opposing
forces. You can also brake in mid-air to get enemies off your
tail (no pun intended), deploy a Boost for added thrust, do a
somersault and, of course, pull off barrel rolls to defend
against incoming fire.
New and Returning Game Modes: Star Fox features a variety of
different modes, including:
Campaign Mode: Travel to a wide variety of planets, navigate
through asteroid fields and engage in free-flying dogfights.
Choose between Easy or Normal difficulty at the start and hone
your skills to earn all the medals needed to unlock the Expert
setting. The objectives you complete, foes you defeat and other
actions you take can alter your route and what you do in each
stage. Taking different routes can also affect the stages you
encounter on your path through the system, so there’s always a
reason to revisit each mission.
Challenge Mode: Replay stages you’ve cleared and take on a
variety of new objectives and challenges, some of which you
won’t find in Campaign Mode. Challenges are available in either
Normal or Expert difficulty settings.
Battle Mode: Gather up your crew to compete in all-new 4-vs-4
dogfights, with up to eight players divided between Team Star
Fox and Team Star Wolf. This mode features three stages with
different objectives: secure control of a designated zone on
Corneria, collect energy crystals on Fichina, or retrieve cargo
from space pirates in Sector Y. Join team battles online via
private matches, or match with players from near and far. With
GameShare3, up to four players can take to the skies locally or
online through GameChat. While GameShare online is only
available for Nintendo Switch 2 systems, local GameShare allows
sharing of compatible games with both Nintendo Switch 2 and
Nintendo Switch systems.
Additional Nintendo Switch 2 Features:
Joy-Con 2 Mouse Controls: If you are playing the game solo in
Campaign Mode and/or Challenge Mode, you can swap seamlessly
between button and mouse controls with the Joy-Con 2 controller.
The mouse control feature allows for more intuitive aiming, and
if a friend joins in, either on the same system or through
GameShare via GameChat, they can assume gunner duties while you
focus on flying (or vice versa!).
GameChat Character Avatars and AR Filters: Appear as Fox McCloud
or any of his crew while chatting with friends using an
interactive avatar that mirrors your expressions and movements
in GameChat4. With the game’s AR Filters, you can also add a
pair of Star Fox-like ears or a Falco-inspired beak that moves
when you talk.
