Star Fox 2 is an unreleased direct sequel to the original Star Fox. While the game was fully completed[3] and scheduled for release in summer of 1995, it was shelved due to the impending release of the Nintendo 64 and Nintendo wanting to make a Star Fox game for the newer system.
Years later, a ROM for an alpha build of Star Fox 2 would be released to the public on the internet. This would later be followed by a ROM for a near-final build of the game. Elements from this game have also been carried over to future games, namely Star Fox 64, which would incorporate all-range mode and Star Wolf, and the Walker would finally make an appearance in Star Fox Zero. After over twenty years, however, Star Fox 2 will finally see an official release as one of the games included in the Super Nintendo Entertainment System: Super NES Classic Edition, releasing in September 2017; the game can be unlocked by clearing the first stage of the original Star Fox.[1]
Story
After his original defeat, Andross has invaded the Lylat system again and intends on using his army to destroy the planet Corneria. General Pepper hires the Star Fox team to take out his army, in addition to supplying them with two new recruits: Miyu and Fay. Star Fox team must now take on Andross's army, including rival team Star Wolf, and repel him from Lylat.
Gameplay
Gameplay involves players traveling around the Lylat system and destroying Andross's army while at the same time defending Corneria from attack. At the beginning of the game, players can select from one of six playable characters in, each flying one of three types of Arwings which have different stats. These include Fox and Falco, Slippy and Peppy, and new characters Miyu and Fay.
Star Fox 2 is more strategy-oriented than its predecessor; instead of moving through a linear path from stage to stage, players can instead travel freely across the Lylat system and complete each mission in any order. Enemy units and missiles move across the map in real time, and players can leave a mission at any point to start another one. Combat gameplay is similar to the original Star Fox, with players moving along a set path and shooting down enemies along it. However, for certain missions the player is given full 3D movement.
