Star Fox 2

STAR FOX 2

Star Fox has a very long history as a Star Fox game. It was slated to be released in 1995 for the SNES and nearly finished before being cancelled and shut down, with rumors and rom hacks floating around for decades. Finally, it was truly released for the first time in 2017 for the SNES Classic Edition, and then later for Nintendo Switch Online.

It's a pretty basic sequel to the original game, with very similar graphics and a basic story revealing that Andross survived his battle in the first game and has been amassing a new army. All of our team return, with two new faces in Miyu the lynx and Fay the terrier. You also gain the ability to use the walker mode that would feature in Zero. Star Wolf would have made their first appearance here, with a monkey named Algy in place of Andross. According to the wiki, Fara Phoenix from the comics is also playable in some tech demos. I guess she wasn't included in the official playable versions.

The most notable stage option I noticed in the game was that each stage tended to have a base that you had to make your way into. That could be fun somehow, I think. Anyway, that's all I have to say on it, so . . . 

Here's what we've got so far:

Fox/Falco/Slippy/Peppy/Miyu/Fay/Fara: Arwing, walker

Wolf/Leon/Pigma/Algy
