'''''Star Fox 2''''' is a video game that was originally planned | '''''Star Fox 2''''' is a video game that was originally planned for release on the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]], as a sequel to ''[[Star Fox (game)|Star Fox]]''. Like the previous game, [[Argonaut Software]] and [[Nintendo]] both developed the game, and was planned to utilize the improved [[Super FX|Super FX 2]] chip. The game was ultimately cancelled in 1996 by [[Shigeru Miyamoto]] due to the impending release of the [[Nintendo 64]] and the desire to use the most advanced system available for a [[Star Fox 64|new ''Star Fox'' game]]. About 21 years later, in 2017, the game was officially released on the Super NES Classic Edition, as an unlockable title from the player finishing the first level of ''Star Fox''. As of December 12, 2019, the game is available to [[Nintendo Switch|Nintendo Switch Online]] subscribers. | ||

The first ''Star Fox'' was developed with British game developer [[wikipedia:Argonaut Games|Argonaut Games]], which also worked on ''Star Fox 2''. 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). One Argonaut employee, Jez San, recalls that the coding used for ''Star Fox 64'' was copied from the finished ''Star Fox 2'' with no contribution to Argonaut Games.<ref>[https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2013-07-04-born-slippy-the-making-of-star-fox Born slippy: the making of Star Fox] - "They canned Star Fox 2 even though it was finished and used much of our code in Star Fox 64 without paying us a penny."</ref> | The first ''Star Fox'' was developed with British game developer [[wikipedia:Argonaut Games|Argonaut Games]], which also worked on ''Star Fox 2''.
