After a decade of dormancy, the Star Fox franchise has seen a huge push from Nintendo in two significant ways. For starters, Fox McCloud had a pretty big presence in The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, which made over $1 billion worldwide at the box office. Then, in June, Star Fox, a remake of Star Fox 64, came out exclusively on Switch 2. However, the strong marketing blitz hasn’t seemed to lead to a smash-hit sales success for the game–at least not yet.
Nintendo has released new financial results for April through June (the first quarter of fiscal 2027 for the company), and there are no dedicated sales numbers provided for Star Fox. Instead, it’s stated that the Switch 2 exclusive has “performed steadily”–a phrase also used for Yoshi and the Mysterious Book. We can glean that Star Fox failed to sell 1 million copies, since it’s missing from that list on other financial data.
To be fair to Star Fox, these fiscal results only cover six days of sales for the Switch 2 game. However, this title would likely be more front-loaded, and nothing is stopping Nintendo from adding that the title has reached specific sales milestones
