A new rumor suggests that an underrated installment in Nintendo's long-dormant Star Fox series could be getting a next-gen remake in 2025.

Crecen los rumores sobre un posible remake de este clásico Star Fox de GameCube

Si es real, ¿llegará específicamente para Nintendo Switch o también para su sucesora?

I would take the news with great caution.

I hope Nintendo focuses more on new games instead of remakes/remasters on Switch 2.

He says in the very next tweet that it's a new game, not a remake...

Clicked on the thread to say this.

Either way, this is deep in "insane if true" territory, though I guess it makes some sense since Nintendo has struggled to find a path forward for Star Fox. Why not look back to the last time they really shook up the formula?

A rumor about a game most don't care much about and a franchise even Nintendo doesn't care much to do it right since ever... yeah sure. Its easier to believe Nintendo would do a new Star Fox game.

Can we change the thread name?

Oh shoot. This would've been great. I liked SFA very much.

yea, they just hate money and will not really want to make more /s

To put things in perspective, this guy accurately stated that Emio was a Detective Famicom Club sequel during the teasing period before the official reveal and also announced Xenoblade Chronicles X DE for Switch before it was official. Sure it could have been lucky guesses but at least he got a couple of things right recently.

If it's real (pretty big if here) I wonder who could develop it. A good fit would be Next Level Games, they can do Luigi's Mansion 4 later in the gen.

 

[Mister Wolf]

The first was a good game. Bring on a second. This should be the new direction for Star Fox.

 

[Lionel Richie]

What if the pre-BOTW 3D Zelda structure shifted to a different franchise? This actually makes more sense than it should lol

I was about to replay the original game real soon now I got a Gamecube HDMI cable. I remember liking it as a kid but in some parts it was fucking HARD.

 

[existensmaximum]

Was Star Fox really THAT good of a game? Would it really hold up as a remaster 2025 when you lose the novelty of seeing polygons on a SNES? I mean, me and my friends were so impressed by the Super FX chip we shit our pants but other than that..

 

[Matsuchezz]

I wish Rare would have completed their original vision of Dinosaur Planet, i always hated the change to Star Fox universe.

Rumour or no:

 

[DKPOWPOW]

Did he specifically state Star Fox?

Cuz if not... I wonder if he is talking about another series possibly taking the jump to Adventure. DK could do it, it's been so long since a new game.

He has teased a few other things as well. Metroid Prime 2 Remastered around February. More new Switch games announced despite incoming Switch 2 possibly launching in June. Switch 2 Announcement possibly before release of DKCRHD.

it. A good fit would be Next Level Games, they can do Luigi's Mansion 4 later in the gen.

Next Level wasting their time making a sequel to a Star Fox game no one likes, originally made by another studio sounds pretty dumb, honestly.

 

[Aldric]

Did he specifically state Star Fox?

Pretty clearly yeah:

It's a little strange after Zero, resuming a formula from the most unique title in the series, but I've heard good things about it

 

[OGM_Madness]

I hope Nintendo focuses more on new games instead of remakes/remasters on Switch 2.

Why not both?

I don't want Remakes, but a HD Port would be nice to hype the sequel. It doesn't have to be AAA remaster. Just make it available on modern platforms and take advantage of the increased Performance (more FPS, more resolution). Pikmin 1+2 did this and it was fine.

 

[jshackles]

I unironically love this game, so I'm down.

 

[Robb]

I very much doubt it, even with this persons track record, but I'd be all over it if true.

Or maybe take a little more time and care before simply rushing to spam "topics" about someone else's clickbait...
