Star Fox demo out for Switch 2, players praise controls and visuals

gamingJun 10, 202657833

Nintendo released a playable Star Fox demo for Switch 2; early players praised the demo's smooth flight controls, vibrant graphics, and charming team dialogue. Other players called the remake's voice acting its weakest element compared with the gameplay. Some players singled out audio design on the Meteo stage, saying the new sounds match the levels' hectic scale. The demo's polish on core mechanics and visuals has heightened anticipation for the full release and suggests the remake could reset expectations for the Star Fox series.

Feelin' a certain way seeing reactions to the direct today. I feel fatigued with the "DISCOURSE" this time around. Like, I'm still down for all of it. I plan on buying Star Fox, & Fire Emblem & KH4 & Ocarina & FF7 3, & whatnot. I love this hobby. I'm just more into the GAMING than I am the GAMERS.

More and more it shows that it's best to just enjoy these games among a small group of friends.

i encountered an "easter" "egg" by not doing a barrel roll during the barrel roll part of the mandatory 20 minute long tutorial and it made peppy say "cmon fox, 'do a barrel roll'!" in an attempt at a similar cadence to the original and it pissed me off for the remainder of the tutorial

Played through the Star Fox demo. It is almost exactly what I'd want from a remake of a N64 game i put hundreds of hours into.

Demo for Star Fox 2026 has me in the mood for Star Fox 64, but it also spoiled me by having the one feature I need in Star Fox; teammates who know how to heal.

I played the Star Fox demo and I really, really liked it! No joke, I went from "Alright, I'm gonna get this game to support the series" to "Wow, this is super well done and I'm excited!" The devs feel like they really care about this game and that makes me so incredibly happy. 💚

I DO have nitpicks here and there and this is still not the game I was really wanting. But I still had fun with it and want to see more of it.

I do think it's a strange choice to have the Star Fox and OoT remake back to back, but I can't get too mad about N64 remakes, because if there's any generation that needs a complete overhaul it's that one.

"this game has really good mouse controls" I say, playing Mina the Hollower and not the Star Fox demo

Replaying the STar Fox demo. Man, does this feel smooth. Also, I removed the reticle just to see how it felt. I kinda like it! It feels like I'm flying a ship instead of controlling a pointer. Give it a shot! *giggle* shot.

star fox 64 remake played well but the voice acting is by far the most disappinting and weakest part of the game.

also im kinda not too hot on the visiblity in the demo. Meteos was a little too dark. i still played fine but its noticably harder to see things compared to 64's Meteos

Would y'all believe that I've never even beaten the first level of Star Fox 64? 😔 Just finished the new demo and didn't die horribly!! Or get motion sickness!! I think that's a good sign that I might actually be able to play the whole game.
