As we near the long-awaited return of Star Fox in just a few weeks, we wanted to examine why that wait has been so long in the first place? The series started strong in the 90s, but hasn't really held its ground since. What went wrong with Star Fox?

In this deep dive, we explore the complete history of the Star Fox series, breaking the franchise into distinct eras and examining every major release along the way. We discuss the early innovations that put Star Fox on the map, the peak moment that was Star Fox 64, and the experimental period that left the series struggling to find its identity.

Will this new Switch 2 entry define a new era of Star Fox? What would we want a new Star Fox to look like? Let us know what you think in the comments?
