'''''Star Fox 2''''' was a video game that was intended to be released on the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]], but was canceled. It is supposedly part of the [[Star Fox (series)|Star Fox series]], and the direct sequel to ''[[Star Fox (game)|Star Fox]]''. Like ''Star Fox'', it was a co-development effort between [[Argonaut Software]] and [[Nintendo]], and was supposed to be published by Nintendo.


'''Star Fox 2''' is a game which was never released to the public. It was developed by the same team as the original and was fully completed, but it was never launched. It featured the [[Star Fox (team)|Star Fox Team]] facing off against a resurrected [[Andross]]. The gameplay is remarkably similar to that in ''[[Star Fox Command]]'', indicating that ''Command'' is most likely the fruition of what Star Fox 2 was intended to be.
Regardless, ''Star Fox 2'' is often held as a great legacy in the overall history of video games, being one of the most anticipated and well-received games during its development time, before Nintendo pulled the plug on the game almost literally in the last minute, as Nintendo were even marketing the game at the time. Its legacy even grew greater when many years later after its cancellation the near-completed form of the game was illegitimately released as a [[wikipedia:ROM image|ROM file]], and distributed via the internet.
 
Despite being canceled, many of the elements used in ''Star Fox 2'' were implemented in later games, most notably ''[[Star Fox 64]]'' (for elements such as the target-lock feature, all-range mode, and [[Star Wolf]] team), and ''[[Star Fox Command]]'' (for the strategic game play elements, and use of various characters and their respective vehicles).
 
''Star Fox 2'' was also meant to mark the debut of the [[Super FX|Super FX 2]] chip.
 
== Plot ==
The basic plot in ''Star Fox 2'' featured the [[Star Fox (team)|Star Fox Team]] facing off against a resurrected [[Andross]], whom is apparently taking his revenge by allowing [[Venomian army|his army]] to attack and destroy planet [[Corneria]] entirely in a more direct approach.
