Nintendo confirmed Star Fox as a Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive, launching June 25, 2026, and released a playable demo today. The game stars Fox McCloud in a cinematic reimagining of Star Fox 64 with an orchestral score, upgraded visuals, and mechanics tuned for Switch 2 hardware. The demo lets players test revamped on-rails shooting, updated controls, and set-piece battles, positioning Star Fox as a marquee exclusive that could shape early Switch 2 adoption.

So much awesome stuff shown at the Nintendo Direct! I’d love my game to be shown there one day. Do you think it would be a good fit for the Nintendo Switch? It’s called Dino Cleanup, a cleaning 3D platformer inspired by Mario Sunshine in the style of Paper Mario. #nintendo #indiegame #gamedev

Oh my god this is so precious. I would LOVE to be to voice a trailer for this game or anything for this project if ever needed!

I would play it on Xbox for sure. Get in contact with them, they do a thing for indies all the time @xbox.com

I think so. To me it seems more suited to consoles or mobile consoles/phones

Played through the Star Fox demo. It is almost exactly what I'd want from a remake of a N64 game i put hundreds of hours into.

Man, I super enjoyed that Star Fox demo. More than anything I’m so excited for the OST. It’s one of my favorites. And it sounds amazing so far. Was nice to see the cutscenes and how they deal with branching path choices.

I just played the demo and Star Fox. Star Fox will probably be the next Switch 2 game that I buy/am excited for. Didn’t see that one coming.

I had no idea the training raccoon in Star Fox 64 had a name, and now I love him in the remake.

Yeah, I bought Star Fox on Switch 2. I played the demo on my 4k TV with vibration on. I'd forgotten what it's like to play Star Fox with a Rumble Pak. My inner 15-year-old is squeeing.
