About this episode

Adam Taylor discusses the new Star Fox game on Switch 2, exploring its tutorials, character development, and pricing in the context of modern gaming.

Nintendo has opened a console generation on an Ocarina of Time and a Star Fox 64 remake for the second time, and Adam dug into the new Star Fox on Switch 2 as a series newcomer. Why the remake's tutorials, voice acting, and cinematic story fill the gap left by the death of the instruction manual, how Falco, Slippy, and Fox finally feel like characters, why the tank level is still the tank level, and why a $50 price tag is a breath of fresh air in an $80 world. Plus a barrel roll or two. A full 5 out of 5. You can watch about an hour of Star Fox gameplay on the channel at youtube.com/@MWPNewsGaming
