Lylat Wars Returns
Let’s go Star Fox
I’ve given up on trying to understand Nintendo’s decisions. Nintendo will do whatever they want to do, and occasionally it will make sense, and occasionally it won’t. One thing Nintendo did just a couple of day ago that didn’t make any sense to me was hold a Nintendo Direct with about fifteen minutes notice. At least it was a good Direct: Nintendo revealed Star Fox.
The Big N is brining back Lylat Wars (Star Fox 64) with a remake of the Nintendo 64 classic. With overhauled graphics, new modes and new cutscenes to give us all more insight into the Lylat system.
If news of the Star Fox return wasn’t enough, how about that the release is next month? On the 25th of June, 2026, we can all revisit one of Nintendo’s certified classics. And I have to say, as strange as Nintendo’s sense of timing is, I’m really looking forward to Star Fox. I wish the they’d have gone for a different name, and although I’m not the biggest fan of the more realistic design of the Star Fox crew (although it seems to be growing on me), but the remake look like it will bring the fun of the original while adding more; and it might just be the best looking game on the Nintendo Switch yet.
Playing videogames, writing about videogames, considering videogames—that about sums it up. Videogames are the one hobby that I’ve kept since I was only little, zapping ducks on the NES or knocking out MR. X. And when I’m not enjoying classics from the bit generation of games or checking out those earliest of polygons, I’m probably playing something from today’s age of modern gaming: if I’m not complaining about it. Something I’m doing at the moment? Taking the Multisystem 2 for a spin.
