After over 20 years since it was canceled Star Fox 2 will now be released.
[dropcap size=small]B[/dropcap]ack in 1995 Nintendo showed off Star Fox 2 at the Consumer Electronics Show where magazines displayed screenshots of the game and the level of hype was astounding. Then, in a completely unexpected move, Nintendo quietly shut down the project and provided no answers as to why this occurred. Then in an interview with Nintendo Life, former Argonaut Software developer Dylan Cuthbert claimed that Star Fox 2 was around “95 percent complete” before the people over at Nintendo axed the project.
“It was the summer of 1995 and the PlayStation and Saturn were suddenly doing very well in Japan,” Cuthbert said. “I think that caught Nintendo off-guard. The decision was made because they didn’t want the old-gen 3D going up against the much better 3D of the next generation, side-by-side.”
Eventually, Star Fox 64 was released for the Nintendo 64 which was deemed as the sequel to the first game and the rest is history, or it was until now. Come September 29th, Star Fox 2 will be available to play on the SNES Classic Edition.
