Star Fox Remake Lands as the Switch 2's Visual Showcase

Nintendo's new Star Fox is a remake of the Nintendo 64 original, and it doubles as the best-looking game yet on the Switch 2. Where other Switch 2 exclusives chased sheer scale, Star Fox goes the other way: a tightly scripted, on-rails shooter built around big, cinematic set-pieces.

That linear structure is exactly what lets it shine, giving designers room for visual flourishes. You once again pilot Fox McCloud and his team of mercenary pilots, and the game is at its best when it makes you feel dropped into a lush sci-fi movie.
