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.

''Star Fox Adventures'' was released for the [[Wikipedia:Nintendo GameCube|Nintendo GameCube]] in 2002. The series took a very different turn in gameplay and style. Originally meant to be an entirely different game entitled ''[[Dinosaur Planet]]'', the series was later branded with the ''Star Fox'' logo and given the ''Star Fox'' treatment of flying missions and the series' trademark characters. However, instead of a basic rail shooter that was common with its predecessors, ''Star Fox Adventures'' was much more of an action-adventure game, similar in genre to the [[Wikipedia:Legend of Zelda|''The Legend of Zelda'']] series. Some gamers were disappointed with the lack of Arwing fights and the use of a "magical staff" but it received decent reviews. | ''Star Fox Adventures'' was released for the [[Wikipedia:Nintendo GameCube|Nintendo GameCube]] in 2002.

''Star Fox: Assault'' was developed by [[Namco]] for the GameCube, the second title for the platform. The game emphasis returned to its roots with its trademark ship-based shooting. However, new features were added, such as the addition of on-foot missions. ''Assault'' was released to mixed reviews, with the main complaints being control problems, the short length of the main game, and the amount of on-foot missions. | ''Star Fox: Assault'' was developed by [[Namco]] for the GameCube, the second title for the platform.
