The PlayStation 5 just got a new indie game reminiscent of Star Fox, as developer Chuhai Labs and publisher Balor Games launched Wild Blue Skies, an indie game based heavily on 90s arcade rail shooters. The PS5 version of Wild Blue Skies is now available to purchase on the PlayStation Store for a fraction of the price of Star Fox's recent Switch 2 remake.

How the M64 Console and Switch 2 Remakes Are Reviving the Nintendo 64 in 2026

The Nintendo 64 is experiencing an unprecedented comeback in 2026. Between the official retail launch of ModRetro's $230 M64 hardware at GameStop and Nintendo rebuilding classics like Ocarina of Time and Star Fox 64 for the Switch 2, nearly every aspect of the iconic 30-year-old console has suddenly become active again. On top of that, the M64 is giving players a brand-new way to use their original N64 cartridges on modern displays. Somehow, a console that launched three decades ago feels more relevant right now than it has in years.

Ocarina of Time and Star Fox Show Why Nintendo Needs More Remakes

LB Beistad — Thu, 23 Jul 2026 19:08:13 GMT

Nintendo has been on a pretty big remake kick lately with the return of Star Fox and an Ocarina of Time reimagining slated for the near future. These titles have maintained a strong legacy of being some of the best Nintendo games out there, but it can sometimes feel like the industry is relying too heavily on remakes instead of pushing new IP and fresh sequels forward. Although this might be true in some cases, there are games out there that are completely worthy of the remake treatment, and Miyamoto has recently shared his thoughts on why remaking games is actually a great thing.

Fright Train is a brand-new survival horror game set to release on Steam in September, and it looks like it could be an intriguing blend of two iconic video game franchises. With its monstrous enemies, horror atmosphere, and locomotive setting, Fright Train seems to be borrowing from Resident Evil Zero, while the upcoming Steam game's anthropomorphic protagonist might remind players of Star Fox's titular hero.

After Star Fox on Switch 2, Your Next Arcade Flight Obsession Arrives October 2

Josh Cotts — Fri, 03 Jul 2026 15:45:16 GMT

Playing Star Fox on Switch 2 every day over the last week has effortlessly reminded me just how much I miss arcade flight combat when it's executed well. There's just something about jumping into a mission, trying to get a better score, and realizing halfway through that the game has already talked you into doing it all over again that still works on me, even though I didn't realize that was happening when I was playing Star Fox 64 as a kid. Star Fox on Switch 2 may be short if all someone wants to do is hit the credits once and move on, but the more I play it, the more I'm reminded how addictive this kind of game can be once you understand what it wants from you.

If You've Already Beaten Star Fox on Switch 2, You're Probably Playing It Wrong

Josh Cotts — Mon, 29 Jun 2026 17:15:16 GMT

I've spent the last few days milking Star Fox on Switch 2 for all it's worth, and I still can't get enough of it. This is not only a solid experience as far as remakes go, but it's a remake of a Nintendo 64 classic that, even back in 1997, I couldn't take my hands off of. But what's most interesting about that statement right there is that Star Fox 64 launched during a time when game length wasn't as big of a deal as it is today. These days, players want their gaming experiences to be long enough to justify the price tag, but back then, all we really cared about was substance, because we could easily turn an otherwise short campaign into hundreds of hours of worthwhile gaming time. Well, that's actually still the case with Star Fox on Switch 2—you just have to know how to play it.

Star Fox Review

Dalton Cooper — Fri, 26 Jun 2026 22:51:58 GMT

Star Fox on the Switch 2 is a remake of the Nintendo 64 game, with near-identical level design and core gameplay, but with significantly improved graphics. Like the N64 game before it, Star Fox's campaign sees players bounce between different planets of the Lylat System in pursuit of the villainous Dr. Andross, completing a nice variety of missions objectives along the way using the titular Star Fox team's Arwing ships.

It's Official: Star Fox on Switch 2 Is Best Without Mouse Controls

LB Beistad — Fri, 26 Jun 2026 15:45:16 GMT

Nintendo's newest remake of Star Fox brings Fox McCloud and his gang to the Switch 2 with improved graphics and gameplay, but the implementation of the console's mouse controls falls short of expectations. Star Fox is one of the biggest Switch 2 releases of the year, so it only makes sense that Nintendo would want to use it as a way to showcase as many of the console's features as possible. However, some players may find the mouse controls more of a pain than something actually useful.
