Nintendo Switch 2

A modern Star Fox that isn’t another 64 remake that doesn’t have stupid Wii U GamePad gimmicks to push could be very cool.

I'm honestly surprised we haven't even heard rumblings about a new Star Fox yet. Even F-Zero got F-99 at least, but besides that Starlink cameo back in 2018, Star Fox hasn't been seen for almost a full decade. That's crazy for one of Nintendo's more notable brands.

I wouldn’t really call it notable as it seems even more niche than Metroid is which is saying something. I’ve heard quite a bit how much people liked Starlink (besides the toys) and how those devs would be a good fit for Star Fox.

I think there's a pretty strong chance we could see a new Star Fox this console generation, but it might be a couple years out. I don't think Nintendo is done with that franchise for good.

As sacrilege as some might think it would be to say this I think Miyamoto needs to step aside on any new Star Fox development. Everything people hated about Zero came from him. He’s great for creating the series but he doesn’t seem to have the right mindset for bringing it past his initial idea successfully.

I too, would love to see another F-Zero and Star Fox. Out of the two, I feel F-Zero would be the easier one to pull off. Give me one with a more heavy metal soundtrack a la' X and I'd be a happy camper right there.

Star Fox on the other hand, I feel the series is in a tough spot. They have to escape the 64 remake cycle, yet the fanbase keeps screaming anytime the series is not like 64. I would love to see them go in a bit of a sandbox direction with the Mercenary aspect of picking jobs to do, but there's just no telling what the company itself will do.
