Historical Context

February 1993 saw Nintendo release Star Fox (Starwing in PAL), the SNES’s first game to employ the Super FX chip for real-time 3D polygons, driving sales of over four million copies worldwide. Its success cemented Fox McCloud’s franchise and pioneered rail-shooter remakes. On May 7 2026 Nintendo announced a new Star Fox remake for Switch 2, due June 25 2026, ending a ten-year gap.
