Appropriately enough, it&#8217;s called \u2026 Star Fox, and if you feel like you&#8217;ve played it before, you&#8217;re not entirely wrong.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The Nintendo Switch 2 Star Fox is based on Star Fox 64, as was the Wii U&#8217;s Star Fox Zero. The visuals have been completely overhauled, and the classic team of Fox, Slippy, Falco, and Peppy all make a return. The stage layouts are just as you remember from Star Fox 64, and though the dialogue between characters is a little different than the original version, it should be recognizable to longtime players.<\/p>\n<p><video data-embed-type=\"video\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ePZeyh5q9R8\" data-width=\"100%\" data-height=\"100%\" data-embed-url=\"\/\/cdn.embedly.com\/widgets\/media.html?src=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fembed%2FePZeyh5q9R8%3Fwmode%3Dopaque%26feature%3Doembed&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;display_name=YouTube&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DePZeyh5q9R8&amp;image=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FePZeyh5q9R8%2Fhqdefault.jpg&amp;type=text%2Fhtml&amp;schema=youtube\"><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">While the Nintendo 64 version had very limited cinematics, there will be many additional cutscenes in this new version, including new mission briefings. During combat, you&#8217;ll be right at home with the Arwing, which is capable of firing lasers and charged shots, as well as performing somersaults and the classic barrel roll. If you want a more PC-like experience, you can use the mouse controls on the Switch 2, and you can also hand a second player a Joy-Con 2 controller to act<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As part of a surprise Direct presentation aired on May 6, Nintendo officially confirmed a Star Fox game for Switch 2.
