Nintendo has a long and proud tradition of announcing Star Fox games and then leaving the franchise to slowly rot on the vine for a decade. After Star Fox Zero on Wii U didn’t exactly set the world on fire, the series has been dormant long enough that a new announcement now lands as a […]

The 3DS remake of Star Fox 64 was good, but sure, I'll take another. Not that I have a Switch 2. But after how Star Fox Zero turned out, the IP needs a win, even if it's rehashing an old game with a shiny coat of paint (for the 2nd time).

I was just thinking to myself recently that Star Fox Assault is the only game in the series I haven't played, and that maybe I should finally check it out. Not expecting great things, but nothing beats getting your own hands-on time. I've heard people talk about it for many years. I should see for myself what it's really like.

Star Fox 64 was a reboot of the series after that initial SNES game. Star Fox Assault and Command were unique games. I think they took place in the same universe as SF64, just later in the timeline, but I don't actually know for sure. Star Fox Zero was said to have been a reimagining of Star Fox 64, if I recall correctly. But it is its own unique game too. So yeah, another reboot. Star Fox 64 3D for 3DS was a complete remake of original Star Fox 64. Same game with all new assets and engine, but plays more like a remaster. This new Switch 2 game is another remake, with the same level layouts and everything as the original game, but looks like it's gonna do more than the 3DS game did, with expanded lore and features and whatnot.

EDIT: I forgot about Star Fox 2, which took place in the same universe as the first SNES game, after the events of the first game.

-Time for Nintendo to do a Starfox: Multiverse of Madness game and bring all the different remakes/reboots/timelines together.
