Star Fox fans have pined after the game ever since, always wondering about the game that Nintendo never bothered to finish. A casualty of the mid-90s console war between Nintendo, Sony and Sega, the nearly completed game was axed when Nintendo executives became fearful that it would look outdated when put up against some of the more technologically advanced titles releasing on the Sega Saturn and Sony PlayStation. One of the most infamous stories of Nintendo's transition from the SNES to the Nintendo 64 is the tale Star Fox 2's cancellation. Check the tweet below.Developer Dylan Cuthbert says that Nintendo has a finished Japanese version of the cancelled SNES game Star Fox 2. So far as I can tell, though, the same 21 will be on the US version, which is based on the old, blockier stateside SNES design. Note: the above is the list of games that will appear on the UK SNES Mini, as that's what's dropped into my inbox. I'm almost in tears.Ĭontra III: The Alien Wars, EarthBound, F-Zero, Final Fantasy III (as in the Japanese Final Fantasy VI, Espers and all that), Donkey Kong Country, Kirby Super Star, Kirby's Dream Course, Mega Man X, Street Fighter II Turbo: Hyper Fighting, Super Mario Kart, Star Fox, Star Fox 2(!), Super Castlevania IV, Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts, The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, Super Mario World, Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, Super Punch-Out!!, Super Metroid, Yoshi's Island, and Secret of Mana. Okay, deep breath, here's what you get with the SNES Mini and just look, look, at how many classics are on here.

(Here's a thing, though: you'll have to complete the first level of Star Fox before gaining access to the sequel. The sequel to Star Fox that never came out. Oh, yeah, and the games include some little thing called Star Fox 2. Yes, it's the Japanese and European model that this Mini is based on.
