Indie developers got tired of waiting for a new Star Fox, so they’re making their own

Driven by nostalgia and frustration over Nintendo's lack of new entries, indie developers have created fan-made projects like 'Ex-Zodiac' and 'Whisker Squadron: Survivo' to fill the void left by the long hiatus since Star Fox Zero. While Nintendo is reviving the franchise with a remake on the Switch 2, these community efforts highlight the enduring appeal of the series among fans.

Background

Recent years have seen a resurgence of interest in classic Nintendo IPs, leading to remakes and re-releases across various platforms.
