Star Fox series
The Star Fox series of games is a prestigious franchise for Nintendo.
Games
Star Fox
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.
Star Fox 2 (cancelled)
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 Arwings, a 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.
Star Fox 64
Years after the dissapearance of his father at the hands of Andross, Fox McCloud and the Star Fox Team go to investigate strange activities at Venom. Along the way, they must battle through the various zones of the Lylat System, filled with Andross's goons and the dreaded Star Wolf.
Star Fox 64 is a remake of the original game and considered to be the starting point of the current Star Fox canon. The game included and introduced the Rumble Pak to the North American gaming audience. Full spoken dialouge replaced the orginal game's Lylat Speak.

Here, the series took a very different turn in gameplay and style.
Star Fox: Assault
Here, the game took the series back to its roots, with some new twists.

Future of the Franchise
