Star Fox is a series of sci-fi rail shooter video games created by Nintendo, featuring anthropomorphic animals as characters. The setting mainly takes place in outer space in the Lylat System. Games in the series have been released for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, Nintendo 64, Nintendo GameCube, Nintendo DS, Nintendo 3DS, and Nintendo Wii U.

Main Games

 

The original 1993 game, released for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. The first game in the "Star Fox" series. Released in the PAL regions as "Starwing". It was also rereleased on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System Classic in 2017, along with the previously unreleased direct sequel. Also released on the Nintendo Switch Online service.

Released in 1997 on the Nintendo 64, "Star Fox 64" also included and introduced the add-on Rumble Pak. Released in the PAL regions as "Lylat Wars". Later released on the Nintendo Wii and Wii-U Virtual Console online shops. Also received a launch title remake on the Nintendo 3DS in 2011.

Originally developed as an entirely separate game called "Dinosaur Planet", it was heavily reworked and eventually released as "Star Fox Adventures", sold as an early title on the Nintendo Gamecube in 2002. A prequel manga titled "Star Fox: Farewell, Beloved Falco" was published on the official Japanese website to serve as an explanation for the game's absence of Falco.

Released in 2005 for the Nintendo Gamecube. "Xevious", another game also made by Namco, is included as an extra unlockable game.

Released in 2006, "Star Fox Command" was the only Star Fox title developed for the Nintendo DS. It was later added as a Virtual Console game on the Wii-U library.

"Star Fox 64 3D" was released in 2011 as an early title on the Nintendo 3DS. It is an advanced remake of the original N64 game, with added gyro controls.

"Star Fox Zero" was released for the Wii U in April 2016. An abridged reimagining of the N64 game, additionally, it features more elements that were borrowed from the then-unreleased "Star Fox 2".

Originally in development for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, but was cancelled due to the then-upcoming Nintendo 64. After over 22 years, the game was officially released in its final form for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System Classic in 2017, and the Nintendo Switch Online in 2019.

Other Games

 

"Star Fox: Guard", was released in 2016, on the Wii-U, as an accompanying spin-off of the events depicted in "Zero". The gameplay is in the style of a tower defense and includes level editor. While it is available for a Nintendo eShop digital download, physical copies were bundled with First Print Editions of "Star Fox Zero".

The Star Fox series has been represented in all Super Smash Bros. series titles, with Fox as a default playable character in all games, followed by Falco as an unlockable as of Melee and Wolf as an unlockable character in Brawl and once again in Ultimate.

Exclusive to the Nintendo Switch edition of Starlink: Battle for Atlas, Star Fox characters make a crossover with Starlink. As part of the Toys-To-Life compatibility, figurines of Fox and an Arwing were added onto physical releases of the game. The story was also further continued with DLC.

In "WarioWare: Smooth Moves", a short recreation of the 1993 game was added in the form of a boss microgame.
Another Star Fox microgame appears in "WarioWare D.I.Y", taking place on Corneria, with an Arwing flying down a valley where a butterfly-shaped enemy flies towards it. The only control is tapping the screen, which causes the Arwing to fire. The microgame is won if the enemy is shot down before it hits Fox.
In "WarioWare Gold" for the 3DS, another 1993-styled Star Fox microgame identical to the Wii microgame but more regular shorter microgame appears, this time challenging players to not crash into anything when their ship is on the verge of being destroyed

Comics

 

Before the original 1993 game was even released yet, the Star Fox series first made a start as a comic book series was published by Nintendo Power magazine, chronicling a continuing narrative series of adventures.

Star Fox Mission File Printout is a Japanese strategy guide for the 1993 Super Famicom title Star Fox. It has notable elements that set it apart from other contemporary strategy guides, including artwork by Benimaru Itoh and a similar (but different) extension to the storyline as the Western comic adaptation. These "expanded universes" were discarded from the game series' canon starting with Star Fox 64.

Illustrated and released by Nintendo of Europe in 1997, the Lylat Wars Comic is an abridged adaptation of the events of "Star Fox 64", which was released in the European and Australian regions as Lylat Wars.

Depicting a story set in-between the events of "Star Fox 64" and "Adventures", Farewell, Beloved Falco tells the incident that took place four years after the Lylat Wars and concludes four years later and leads into the Plight of Sauria. The entire manga can be read on the Japanese "Adventures" website.

Did you know?

 

• Fox McCloud wears a red scarf in every single appearance he makes, with the exception of "Assault"?
• In "Star Fox 64", there are twenty five possible paths leading to Venom, fourteen of these paths lead to the Robot Andross via Bolse. The other eleven lead to the True Form Andross via Area 6 and therefore the better ending?
  • Miyamoto's Route is Corneria>Sector Y>Katina>Sector X>Sector Z>Area 6>Venom II, which is named after the favourite flight path of Shigeru Miyamoto?
• In "Star Fox Commnad", there are 18 possible routes through the game, leading to 33 different missions, which can lead to 9 different endings?
