Star Fox returns June 25 with demo available now

Star Fox is back on June 25, and Nintendo is trying to make Fox McCloud feel like a proper Switch 2 showcase again. The new version is described as a cinematic take on the Nintendo 64-era Lylat Wars, with overhauled character designs, revamped stages, fully voiced dialogue, detailed cutscenes and a sweeping orchestral soundtrack.

It also includes optional Joy-Con 2 mouse-controlled targeting and a new GameChat feature that puts players in the cockpit with favorite Star Fox characters. That is a smart way to modernize a very specific arcade-flight legacy.

Star Fox has always been strongest when it feels fast, clean and theatrical without becoming overloaded. A free demo is available now, which is exactly the right move. Let players feel the Arwing, hear the banter and decide whether the old magic has finally found a new flight path.
