Summary
Takaya Imamura, the original Star Fox graphic designer, said the remake’s visual upgrade left him “choked up” as Nintendo prepares its June 25 Switch 2 release.
Imamura said the new version finally blurs the line between pre-rendered footage and real-time CG, a gap the team struggled to overcome in the Nintendo 64 era.
A custom-built engine drives visuals he said now look like a feature film across both cutscenes and gameplay, reinforcing the remake’s unusually realistic style for a Nintendo title.
This week’s Nintendo eShop demo gave players an early look at the game, while new details confirmed development is being handled by newly formed Velan Studios.
