Kotaku • • technology
Key Points:
- Star Fox for the Switch 2 received a surprise update (version 1.2.0) adding new battle mode stages Katina, Sector X, and Venom, along with 4-player split-screen support on a single console.
- The update also improves multiplayer functionality by preventing lobbies from disbanding when the host leaves and introduces new in-battle items.
- Campaign mode received a significant visual improvement, making it clearer when players are successfully damaging bosses during fights.
- Despite Fox McCloud’s appearance in the recent Mario Galaxy Movie, the Star Fox remake has underperformed in sales compared to other Nintendo 64 remakes like The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.
- With a $50 digital price tag and a relatively short story mode, Star Fox faces challenges gaining attention during the holiday season alongside more popular titles.
