Things were a bit quiet on the Nintendo front last week and this week due to holidays in Japan, but that changed very quickly towards the end of Wednesday. Out of nowhere, the company announced and immediately broadcasted a Star Fox Direct, which revealed a remake of Star Fox 64 for Nintendo Switch 2. The title is coming very soon with its launch planned for June 25, 2026.

As a remake, the graphics have been fully redone as you’d expect. Nintendo is throwing in some new elements, including a new 4-vs-4 multiplayer Battle Mode, new detailed cutscenes, and more. You can find all of the details here.

Based on what we’ve seen so far, how are you feeling about the game? Do you plan on picking up Star Fox when it launches on Nintendo Switch 2 next month? Let us know in the comments.

Star Fox Switch 2 amiibo support

The new Star Fox game for Switch 2 will feature amiibo support, according to Nintendo.

We got plenty of the details about the title this week, but news about amiibo functionality went under the radar. To be fair, it’s a bit hidden – there’s only a brief mention of it over on the official Japanese website.

Star Fox is the latest Nintendo Switch 2 game to have a sale for pre-orders.

Earlier in the week, Nintendo unveiled the new title and confirmed pricing shortly thereafter. On the Nintendo eShop, it’ll cost $50. At retail, the game will be priced at $60. However, now’s your chance to save $10 on the physical version.

A new graphics comparison is available for the new Star Fox Nintendo Switch 2 remake and the Star Fox 64 original.

Just a few hours ago, it was revealed that a remake of the N64 classic is in the works. Obviously, one of the highlights of the new version is the overhauled graphics. Technology has come a long way since Star Fox 64 released and that means we’re getting a much prettier game. Nintendo also updated the character designs which, at least initially, have drawn mixed reactions from fans.

We have more on the just-announced Switch 2 remake of Star Fox, including the boxart, price, and official announcement from Nintendo.

The game’s packaging image is attached below. As for the price, it looks like this one will be on the cheaper side for a Nintendo Switch 2 title.

Star Fox puppets

Back when Nintendo was releasing the very first Star Fox, the company used a few puppets that are now very well-known. The thing is, it was unclear what became of the set – until today.

After reaching out to Star Fox programmer Dylan Cuthbert and artist Takaya Imamura but not having a clear-cut answer, the outlet was able to get in touch with Japanese FX company Shirogumi and learned that the Star Fox puppets were actually destroyed.
