Star Fox 64 Remake Confirmed for Switch 2, Launches June 2026

Nintendo announced a Star Fox 64 remake for Switch 2 during a surprise Direct on May 6, launching June 25, 2026 at $50 with new gameplay modes and online play. It's the first new Star Fox in a decade. Miyamoto and Koizumi presented, and also revealed Fox McCloud will appear in the Super Mario Galaxy Movie.

Why post about this

Star Fox has been dormant for ten years, and the announcement doubles as confirmation Fox is in the Mario Galaxy movie — two viral pegs in one Direct. The 24-hour first-mover window on Nintendo announcements is brutally short; whoever posts within hours of the Direct owns the algorithm.

Suggested angle

Frame this as Nintendo finally betting on Star Fox again — and use the Mario Galaxy movie cameo as proof the IP is being rebuilt for a new generation.
