About Star Fox:
Save the Lylat System with Fox McCloud!
Join Fox McCloud and the Star Fox team as you fight to protect the Lylat System from the clutches of the evil scientist Dr. Andross! Take to the skies—and stars—as you blast your way through enemies in this action–packed adventure.
This cinematic take on the Star Fox 64 story features new fully voiced dialogue, an epic orchestral soundtrack, and a complete visual overhaul for the Nintendo Switch™ 2 system.
Lock in for a high–octane adventure: Take off on a fast–paced campaign that will have you tearing through space, soaring across planets, and shooting loads of foes out of the sky at every turn.
Jump into the pilot’s seat
Discover every part of the story: Sharpen your skills when you replay missions and aim for higher scores. Completing certain objectives can unlock a different path, dramatically changing which missions become available.
Meet the cast: Get primed on key Star Fox members and their main adversary.
Battle across the Lylat system: Embark on missions taking you from the stars to deep underwater, and more! Explore some of the locations you’ll traverse during your campaign.
Corneria: Home to Corneria Defense Force Headquarters, and the center of politics, economy, and culture in the Lylat System.
Fichina: Known widely as “the ice planet,” snow and ice cover nearly 90% of Fichina’s surface.
Solar: The Lylat System’s second, smaller star known for its extreme temperatures and thermonuclear qualities.
Zoness: Known previously as a popular vacation destination, heavy resource mining has since turned the once-beautiful paradise planet into a heavily polluted zone.
Meteo: An asteroid field known for mining operations. Recent surveillance has detected unusual energy readings from within…
Sector Y: Named for its Y-shaped form, it is one of three unique space-dust formations within the Lylat System.
Test your mettle: Replay missions in Challenge Mode to clear objectives that unlock in-game rewards like Holoviewer logs that give you special intel on characters and mission locations.
Take flight and fight together: Vie for dominance over the stars with—or against—your friends* in Battle Mode.
Head into the fray online: Engage in intense, four-on-four team-based battles online* with friends or players from around the world. You’ll play across three stages including Corneria, Sector Y, and Fichina—each with different rules and objectives.
Team up for missions: Pass a Joy-Con 2 controller to a friend and they can join you as a gunner or pilot in two-player co-op. You can also experience the entire story campaign together locally or online over GameShare** via GameChat.
Become a member of Star Fox: Connect a compatible USB camera, like the Nintendo Switch 2 camera (sold separately), to play face–to–face with friends over GameChat***. Use Character Avatars to appear as your favorite characters or use AR filters to layer Fox–like ears, sunglasses, helmets, and other accessories over your in–game image!
Unlock in–game extras with amiibo: Tap the amiibo™ figures for Fox, Falco, or Wolf to get additional backgrounds and emblems for your multiplayer Battle Banner.
Free demo available: Experience the full tutorial and the Meteo campaign stage!
