Star Fox's new game was unveiled and several soundtrack tracks were added to Nintendo Music. The announcement's character redesigns, especially Fox McCloud's new look, prompted redraws, portraits, and stylized key art. Creators are also centering Wolf O'Donnell and Slippy in comics, animatics, cosplay reinterpretations, and short fanfics that riff on the Arwing and prequel moments involving James McCloud. Older entries like Star Fox 64 are being revisited in edits and music montages alongside new soundtrack remixes.

I've never played a star fox game but for every thousand pictures I see of the main characters or the blue fox there's one of this sort of dog mechanic who looks cool. she must have only been in a bad game or had zero personality

The Spaniel’s name is Fay, and she’s actually really great! She’s the daughter of oligarchs, but she said “fuck that shit” and instead of being a draft dodger, joined up with Fox and crew as a mercenary to do her part to defend her home & the Lylat system from Andross and his hired guns, Star Wolf!

So, they're from Star Fox 2, which was shuddered once they moved the project to the 64 and shifted to remaking the original SNES game! Star Fox 2 was mostly complete, but Nintendo didn't think releasing it made any sense - not at the end of the SNES' life cycle. Shame, but I get it! HOWEVER..!

Miyu and Fay were from a cancelled sequel to the SNES original Star Fox. That sequel being Star Fox 2. The game would eventually get an official release in 2017.

They're from a failed project game that was supposed to come out shortly after the original Star Fox, but it never happened I believe? So, they're from a non-game x'D

I don't know much about Star Fox but I think it's because she's from Star Fox 2, which went unreleased until that Super Nintendo retro console came out.

I'd be more invested in the series had these two (plus Sheeply) been canonized, but Nintendo hasn't shown any interest in this, even in these latest trailers. If they're going to reinvent the 64 formula, they may as well fix its issue with female representation and bring in these chars.
