Blast off on a high-octane adventure to save a star system from invasion. Step into the cockpit and fly across the stars and skies with Fox McCloud and team! The Lylat system is under attack, and it’s up to the Star Fox squad to blast their way through this enemy invasion in a fast-paced adventure that will have you tearing through space, soaring across planets, and shooting loads of foes out of the sky at every step of the way. This cinematic take on the Star Fox 64 story features fully voiced dialogue and cutscenes, an epic orchestral soundtrack, mouse control support, and a complete visual overhaul that takes advantage of the enhanced performance of the Nintendo Switch 2 system. Try the campaign on Easy to play with a sturdier ship and more powerful weapons, or unlock Expert difficulty for an additional challenge. You can also invite a friend to join you as a gunner in two-player co-op—experience the entire story campaign together locally or online through GameShare via GameChat! Sharpen your skills to complete objectives, unlock additional routes through the story, and aim for a high score. Pay careful attention to your squadmates during missions—follow their cues and you can unlock different routes through each area. Not only that, but completing certain objectives can also dramatically change what your next mission briefing looks like and what missions become available. Replay individual missions in Challenge Mode to clear specific objectives that will unlock rewards like Holoviewer logs to learn about people and places.

Hop online to take part in four-on-four team-based battles with a variety of objectives, whether with friends or with players from around the world.

Play as a Ditto that has transformed to look like a human! Find and befriend your fellow Pokémon, carve out a life for yourself, and work together with Professor Tangrowth to build a town for everyone to live in. Learn the moves of your fellow Pokémon to change the land, such as Bulbasaur’s Leafage to make the wild grass grow. You can also use abilities to transform and navigate the world around you, such as crossing water with Lapras’s Surf. As you work to help nature flourish, more Pokémon will appear for you to meet and learn from! Create habitats, cultivate crops, and more in a world with varied weather and real-time day and nights. Gather materials to create items and furniture, till the fields to grow delicious crops, create habitats for the Pokémon you meet, take photos of fun moments, customize your hairstyle and clothing…there’s so much to do here! No need to rush, though—go at your own pace and enjoy the journey. With a real-time day and night cycle, varying weather, and other surprises, just taking a nap in your bed and letting time pass can be pretty relaxing. As your town develops, your fellow Pokémon may also come to you with requests you can fulfill to solve their problems or make the town a more comfortable place to live in. Eventually, you’ll be able to build a nice big home of your own—and then invite Pokémon, and even other players via local wireless or online, to visit and hang out together. You can even invite visitors who don’t have the game—whether they are on the Nintendo Switch 2 system or Nintendo Switch—by using GameShare! Get an in-game Ditto Rug as an early purchase bonus!
