Nintendo is bringing a reimagined Star Fox to Switch 2 on June 25. The remake takes a more cinematic approach to the classic N64 title.

The upcoming Star Fox remake represents Nintendo's fresh take on the beloved arcade-style shooter. Rather than maintaining the original's arcade sensibilities, the new version opts for a cinematic presentation. The Switch 2 exclusive arrives less than a year after the console's announcement, positioning it as a notable launch window title for Nintendo's next-generation handheld-hybrid device. Details on gameplay changes, story elements, and how the cinematic direction translates to the actual experience remain limited. The remake will leverage Switch 2's enhanced hardware capabilities compared to the original Switch. This marks the first major Star Fox release since Star Fox Zero on Wii U in 2015, making the franchise's return a significant moment for Nintendo players.
