| Facing the wrath of the evil Emperor [[Andross]], [[Fox McCloud]] and his [[Star Fox Team]] take on evil as it threatens to overthrow the Lylat System. Developed by [[Argonaut Games]], ''Star Fox'' was released for the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]] in [[1993]], and was quite bold in breaking technical barriers with the new [[Super FX]] chip. The chip simulated three-dimensional graphics, a mind boggling notion since games at the time were typically made in 2-D.

| Andross survived his encounter with Fox and has returned to destroy [[Corneria]]. With an arsenal of new enemies and giant missiles aimed at the planet, Andross's insurrection is large enough to demand the attention of the Star Fox Team. With new custom [[Arwing]]s, a [[Star Fox Mothership|mothership]], and rookies, the team must defend Corneria and take the battle to Andross himself.

| It is still unknown why the game was never released. The beta has since been leaked and some lucky few have been able to find a copy of it using an emulator. Nevertheless, many of the features introduced in this sequel were later implemented in the upcoming ''Star Fox 64''.
