A modernized adventure: Star Fox is based on Lylat Wars and offers a complete visual overhaul that fully leverages the strength and performance of Nintendo Switch 2. Explore planets around the world and the interior of a star fog in the Lylat system, from the lively Corneria world to the desolate, polluted gardens of Zoness. There are also brand-new cinematic cutscenes with fully voiced dialogue and unprecedented mission briefings between tracks, where you can learn even more about the figures and worlds that make up the Star Fox universe. Intense Space Combat: Jump into your Arwing, a high-performance space fighter, and use laser beams to mow down enemy forces. You can also brake in the air to shake enemies off you, activate a boost for extra propulsion, perform a flip and do quick 180s to defend yourself against incoming fire. New and Returning Game Modes: Star Fox offers a range of features, including: Campaign Mode: Travel to a wide range of planets, navigate through asteroid fields, and participate in free-flight air battles. Choose between the Easy or Normal difficulty at the start and refine your skills to earn all the medals needed to unlock the Expert setting. The objectives you complete, the enemies you defeat, and other actions you take can change your route and what you do on each stage. Taking different routes can also affect the tracks you encounter on your journey through the system, so there’s always a reason to revisit each mission. Challenge Mode: Play the tracks you’ve completed again and complete a series of new goals and challenges, some of which don’t exist in Campaign Mode. The challenges are available in Normal or Expert difficulties. Battle Mode: Gather your team to compete in all-new 4-on-4 aerial battles with up to eight players distributed between Team Star Fox and Team Star Wolf. This mode features three tracks with different objectives: take control of a designated zone on Corneria, collect energy crystals on Fichina, or retrieve cargo from space pirates in Sector Y. Join online team battles via private matches or play against players near and far. With Gameshare, up to four players can team up either locally or online via GameChat. While GameShare online is only available for Nintendo Switch 2 consoles, local GameShare allows sharing compatible games with both Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch consoles. Additional Nintendo Switch 2 features: Joy-Con 2 mouse control: If you’re playing the game solo in Campaign Mode and/or Challenge Mode, you can easily switch between button and mouse control with the Joy-Con 2 controller. The mouse control function allows for more intuitive aiming, and if a friend joins, either on the same system or via GameShare via GameChat, they can take on the pilot’s duties while you focus on flying, or vice versa. GameChat Character Avatars and AR accessories: Appear as Fox McCloud or any of his crew members while chatting with friends using an interactive avatar that reflects your expressions and gestures in GameChat. With the game’s AR accessories you can also add a pair of Star Fox-like ears or a Falco-inspired beak that moves when you speak.
