Gaming Nintendo The Star Fox remake is a test for the franchise's future Nintendo is trying to bring back Fox’s mojo with a beautiful remake of the series’ best game. By Sam Rutherford June 2, 2026 9:00 am EST Nintendo Nintendo caught a lot of people off guard last month when it hosted a livestream starring the company's most famous space canid. Even though Fox McCloud is one of Nintendo's most recognizable mascots, the franchise has essentially been on hiatus for a decade. Aside from a brief cameo in the latest Mario movie , at this point Fox is probably better known for his appearances in Smash Bros. more than anything else ( no items, Fox only, Final Destination anyone? ).
After getting a chance to play a preview of the Star Fox remake, it feels like Nintendo is paying tribute to the series' best game while gauging people's interest in the franchise before committing to an entirely new release. Going back to Corneria Nintendo There's no doubt that Star Fox's biggest upgrade over the original is its new visual treatment. Often, when a company like Nintendo revisits one of its classics, they end up making something that looks like how you remember the game in your head, even if that recollection is embellished due to time and nostalgia. However, this time Nintendo made something that looks even better.
