Somehow Star Fox returned. Yesterday. With the release of Velan Studios’ remake of Star Fox 64 for Switch 2. And it’s good! It is, expectedly, making us reflect on the larger Star Fox franchise. We originally published this list around the launch of Star Fox Zero back in 2016, but we’ve updated today with new games and have reconsidered our order.
You can check out our list below.

We’re not including it on this ranking because, frankly, it is not a Star Fox game. But Starlink: Battle for Atlas is absolutely worth mentioning when it comes to discussing the Star Fox series. Playing the Switch version of the game contains much more than a Fox McCloud cameo – he is integrated into the game’s story in a big way. And, the game also included a physical Arwing toy. It was the most exciting thing we had from Star Fox between the release of Star Fox Zero and the release of Star Fox (2026).
