Star Fox Demo Available Later Today
A demo for the upcoming Star Fox remake has been announced during the latest Nintendo Direct and is set to be available later today. As revealed during the Direct following the release of Star Fox's latest trailer, the demo will include the game's tutorial and one of the opening stages. While it's expected to be short, it will still give players a taste of how Nintendo has remixed and updated this N64 classic for the modern era.
We recently had the chance to go hands-on with Star Fox, and the experience left us genuinely impressed. In his preview, IGN's Logan Plant noted, "This new take on the classic Star Fox 64 is not just a simple fresh coat of paint like the 3DS version. Instead, it’s shaping up to be a significantly expanded and surprisingly cinematic retelling of the Lylat Wars, thanks to an overhauled script that’s brought to life by some of the strongest voice acting and cutscene direction I’ve ever seen in a Nintendo game."
Now, players have the opportunity to go hands-on themselves with this demo and experience the game for themselves.
A New Look for Fox
This demo also provides a chance to get a better look at the new character redesigns. It's an opportunity to finally determine if you agree with Takaya Imamura, Star Fox's creator, who believes his fox pilot looks better in The Super Mario Galaxy Movie than in this new remake. This won't be the first time Fox's look has been updated, as the original Star Fox has been remade multiple times already.
The demo is expected to be available later today, so fans of the franchise should keep an eye on their platforms and be ready to dive into this updated version of a beloved classic.
