Star Fox 2 vs Star Fox: Assault

Star Fox 2 returns to the SNES era with fast‑paced aerial combat and real‑time strategy elements. Players control two members of the Star Fox team to intercept missiles, infiltrate enemy bases, and take down Andross in a blend of shooter and tactical gameplay. After being cancelled for years, the game finally saw an official release as an unlockable on the SNES Classic and later on Nintendo Switch Online, bringing the long‑lost sequel to modern audiences.

Take control of Fox McCloud and his iconic team as you battle intergalactic foes across sky, land, and foot missions. Switch between Arwings, Landmaster tanks, and on‑foot combat to experience a varied shooter adventure.
