Star Fox Nintendo Direct: Everything We Saw

Nintendo surprised fans on Tuesday with a sudden, unannounced Direct presentation dedicated entirely to the Star Fox franchise. The spotlight on the series comes after the character's prominent role in the recent Super Mario Galaxy movie, where Fox McCloud appeared as a fan-favorite supporting character. The broadcast, which streamed without prior warning, ran for roughly 15 minutes and packed in several major reveals.

The biggest announcement was a full remake of Star Fox 64, titled Star Fox 64: Lylat Wars Reborn, set to launch on the Nintendo Switch later this year. The remake features completely rebuilt graphics using the engine from the Super Mario Galaxy movie's visual style, along with new voice acting from the film's cast. The developers showed off smooth 60 frames per second gameplay and a new multiplayer mode that supports up to eight players in dogfights across classic planets like Corneria and Venom.

Nintendo also confirmed a new spin-off, Star Fox: Mercenary Squad, developed by a third-party studio known for arcade shooters. This title focuses on side characters like Katt and Leon, offering a darker, more grounded story. A short trailer showed stealth missions and ground combat, a first for the series. No release date was given, but a 2026 window was mentioned.

The Direct ended with a teaser for a Star Fox animated series coming to a streaming service, featuring the movie's voice cast. Fans were left buzzing about the sudden flood of content for a character who had been quiet for years.
