The '''Star Fox series''' is one of [[Nintendo]]'s most notable [[wikipedia:Media franchise|video game franchises]] which debuted commercially in 1993 with the game ''[[Star Fox (game)|Star Fox]]'' (or ''Starwing'' as the [[wikipedia:PAL region|PAL region]] may know it) for the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]]. The series is based on a fusion of an experimental video game development from [[Argonaut Software]] and a [[wikipedia:Kemono|''kemono'']] concept that was created by [[Shigeru Miyamoto]]. | |||
This series has often been generally categorized as a scrolling, third-person arcade shooter, although not every game necessarily had that as its main element of game-play. The series had been notable in Nintendo's gaming history, with games such as ''[[Star Fox (game)|Star Fox]]'' being one of the earliest console video games with actual three-dimensional graphics, as well as being the first video game to use the [[Super FX]] chip, and ''[[Star Fox 64]]'' being the first console game to support [[wikipedia:Haptic technology|force-feedback technology]]. Each previously mentioned game's respective innovation was key to that game's success in the video game market. This series is one of Nintendo's few franchises that features full-voice acting and progressive plots. | |||
The series closely follows a team of space-trekking, [[wikipedia:Anthropomorphism|anthropomorphic]] animal characters called "[[Star Fox (team)|Star Fox]]" in space-based mercenary missions, within a [[wikipedia:Star system|star system]] called the [[Lylat System]], in order to save their home planet [[Corneria]] from various antagonists. The titular team is composed of four main, reoccurring characters known as [[Fox McCloud]], [[Falco Lombardi]], [[Slippy Toad]], and [[Peppy Hare]]. However, overtime, the series added other notable characters such as [[Krystal]] and [[Star Wolf]]. The series is considered to be situated in a futuristic science-fiction setting, usually using fighter spacecrafts called [[Arwing]]s as the games' players' main element of progression. | |||
Due to the anthropomorphic nature of the characters, the series overall is often perceived as a [[wikipedia:Furry fandom|furry]] video game series. | |||
