Quick pre-orders:

UK: £49.99 at Nintendo (with bonus gifts)

Fox McCloud, Falco, Peppy, and Slippy are finally back, and I'm already practicing my barrel rolls in anticipation. Nintendo announced during a quick Direct showcase that Team Star Fox is returning in the aptly named Star Fox on June 25, 2026, a remake of the classic Star Fox 64 (also known as Lylat Wars here in the UK) exclusively on the Nintendo Switch 2.

Star Fox pre-orders were quick to make a landing and are up for grabs for $49.94 (Amazon) / £44.99 (Very) at a wealth of US and UK retailers. The Switch 2 exclusive has an $59.99 / £49.99 MSRP, so the prices are already pretty decent all things considered. Yet much in the way that ROB 64 provides you with some handy supplies in the original N64 game, Nintendo has got some goodies up for grabs of its own if you're based in the UK. Picking up your Star Fox pre-order for £59.99 at Nintendo instead will grant you a set of snazzy pins and a velcro patch that would make for a perfect addition to any Star Fox cosplay - Peppy Hare gijinka here I come.

The Team Star Fox goodies have yet to make an appearance in the US. However, retailers have been known to reveal these closer to release, and there are still a few months to go until the game prepares for takeoff. So you can prepare to take down Andross again, I've scoured the web for the best Star Fox pre-order US and UK deals down below. Good luck.

Ever since I first held a NES controller in my hand I've been obsessed with gaming, and the hardware it runs on. I could hook up a NES and SNES to a telly, without instructions, before I could walk. Even now, nothing is more exciting then taking a console, or handheld, out the box for the first time and setting it up. This obsession transformed into a love of games and game music, which lead to my music degree and dream of becoming the Scottish Nobuo Uematsu. After sharing my love of games through music, I began to share my love through words on sites like TechRadar and iMore. This lead to becoming a Hardware staff writer for PCGamesN, and later the Senior Tech Writer for Dexerto, covering all things Steam Deck, PlayStation and Nintendo. With that experience, I was able to level up as Hardware Editor for GamesRadar+, where I'm still just as Nintendo, PlayStation and gaming tech obsessed as ever.
