Included as part of the SNES Classic Mini, this historical artefact is finally out there for the world to play. Now, however, eleven years later, the Japanese giant has finally opted to release this cult curioso. It’s not difficult to see why Nintendo chose to focus on its next console and instead went straight on to develop Star Fox 64. While work on this flagship title was pretty much wrapped up by then, Sony had just released the jaw-dropping 32-bit PlayStation, immediately making Nintendo’s poor old 16-bit console look redundant. Unfortunately for Star Fox fans though, in 1995 Nintendo quietly announced that it was pulling the plug on the game. As the sequel to one of the most captivating games of its era, hopes were understandably sky-high for Nintendo’s ambitious new arcade shooter. For a large chunk of ’90s gamers, this is exactly what happened with Star Fox 2.
With only a compelling concept and nothing more concrete to go on, the imagination is all too happy to fill in the gaps and replace them with its wildest hopes and dreams. When a work of art only exists in theory, its easy to assume that it’s brilliant.
