Star Fox

What is Star Fox?

Star Fox is one of Nintendo's most iconic action franchises. First introduced on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) in 1993, the series follows the adventures of Fox McCloud and his elite team of pilots as they defend the Lylat System from various threats. Unlike many other Nintendo franchises, Star Fox focuses on fast-paced space combat, putting players behind the controls of advanced vehicles such as the famous Arwing fighter.
Over the years, Star Fox has built a loyal fanbase thanks to its exciting aerial battles, memorable characters, and unique science-fiction setting. With a brand-new adventure on the horizon, fans are eager to see where Fox McCloud's next mission will take them.
