Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Star Fox On Switch 2?
Star Fox has made its long-awaited return to Nintendo platforms this week with its debut on Switch 2, arriving after being entirely absent from the original Switch generation. The game reunites players with the original cast—Fox, Falco, Peppy, and Slippy—in what is fundamentally a remake of the beloved N64 classic, Star Fox 64.
While the release doesn’t break significant new ground in terms of originality, critical reception has been strong. Nintendo Life awarded the game a 9/10 in their review, praising its polished execution and the enduring appeal of the arcade-style shooter gameplay. Reviewers noted that despite being a straight remake rather than an entirely new entry, the experience brings genuine joy and successfully captures the charm that made the original so memorable.
The return marks a significant moment for the franchise on Nintendo’s latest hardware, giving both longtime fans and new players the opportunity to experience one of gaming’s most cherished titles. The game’s arrival on Switch 2 fulfills long-standing fan requests to see Star Fox represented on the current Nintendo console generation, more than seven years after the Switch’s original launch.
