Star Fox was announced by Nintendo as a total surprise on Wednesday night, and is releasing very soon, on June 25, 2026, only on Nintendo Switch 2. The game is a 1:1 remake of Star Fox 64 in the gameplay, but the graphics and character designs have been revamped completely, to some polarising results.
What will surely be better received by fans is the price: Star Fox (for Nintendo Switch 2) will be a cheaper game than most Nintendo first-party exclusive. These are the prices for the digital versions confirmed as of writing (*the physical versions were not confirmed, but should be ten bucks more expensive).
- €49,99 digital/€59,99 physical*
- £41.99 digital/£49.99 physical*
- $49.99 digital/$59.99 physical*
It has been confirmed by the Japanese Nintendo Store that Star Fox will cost 5480 yen digitally and 6480 yen physically, same price as Rhythm Paradise Groove (6500 yen both physically and digitally, as it's a Switch 1 game).
So Star Fox will be "smaller" than Splatoon Raiders in Nintendo's eyes, but same size as Rhythm Heaven; while Splatoon Raiders will be itself smaller than games like Pokopia or Yoshi and the Mysterious Books. It's difficult to predict the pricing for Nintendo games... but at least they are relaxing the crazy prices seen with Mario Kart World a year ago.
With Star Fox being a remake of a "smaller" game, and not a very mainstream franchise, it makes sense that it will be cheaper than other games, although this confirms that it will not be a "AAA" title. However, with rumours that another Star Fox game is releasing in 2027, this could be the beginning of a new exciting chapter for the Star Fox franchise...
