After the success of Star Fox, Nintendo decided to make a sequel on the same system. However, with the release of the Nintendo 64 looming close, Nintendo decided to cancel the game despite it being nearly complete. Many features of this game were later reused in Star Fox 64, most notably Star Wolf, and the game itself was later leaked as source code and compiled into a working ROM. The game was later released for the SNES Classic console as an unlockable game, marking its first official release. Since then, the game was also released for the Nintendo Switch Online service.

i barely remember this game but if was cool, impressive stuff but felt way too short and not much substance to warrant a replay besides getting a higher score
this would've blown some minds had it released in 1996 though
6/10

É a mesma mecânica do primeiro só q mais polida
A surprisingly good unreleased sequel we never got until now. Surprises me how much better the control feels compared to the original one. The strategic side of it it's ok, it's a game made on purpose for a single playthrough in the arcade way you can imagine.
No clue what was really happening in this game but I beat it and had fun. I like the little mech mode. It feels like a fun little dlc to the original. I’m glad it was finally released. Played as Slippy of course.
If nothing else the scope and visuals are astounding, this is tech that nearly matches the peak fidelity of 32x with Nintendo's trade optimization tricks and 2D/3D hodge-podging. The change to a mission based structure is fine but these levels are extremely low effort, they're all like one hallway with 2 pincushions to shoot. The dogfights are pretty bad until you learn to cheese them with the charge shot. Music is way worse, neither rockin' nor movin', it's a shame.
It's easy to see why this was canned when the game still needed a huge amount of content to fill out the world, and the cost of FX-2 boards would eat out their profits.

This is Star Fox 1 if it was more conceptually interesting.
