Star Fox 2 has been floating around the Internet for years, but the version put out by fans is based on unfinished version of the game, with the most complete of them being a fan translation. It would have been translated internally at NOA so the turnaround would have been very quick." For instance, the planet Titania is called "Taitania" in Star Fox 2.Ĭuthbert elaborates, "As for the English translations– because it was canceled so close to the end we had already received all the English as far as I'm aware (although there might have been a few modifications and additions during QA as there tends to be). The localization is pretty much on point, but there are little mistakes. I got to see this first hand when playing Star Fox 2 during my appointment with Nintendo. "It showed pretty good foresight I think, and I'm sure the will earn back its development cost and then some!" It was one of the rare occasions where even though the game wasn't going to be released Nintendo decided to spend the final few months properly finishing it off–I suppose because it was canceled so close to the end and after all the announcements, they wanted something to show for their efforts," Cuthbert told us over email. "StarFox 2 was fully localized as far as I'm aware and went through the full QA process. Indeed, according to Q Games founder and Star Fox 2 programmer Dylan Cuthbert, the unreleased sequel was actually fully localized way back in the 90s.
But surprisingly, the master version of Star Fox 2 available on the SNES Classic will be in English. It's completely unaltered, so the natural expectation is that it should be in Japanese. I finally got an answer during a recent hands-on with the SNES Classic: Nintendo confirmed that it will indeed be the original master and not one of the cobbled together prototypes floating around the Internet. Is there something you think we should be reporting on? Email since the announcement of the Super NES Classic a few months back, one question has been bouncing around my mind: What version of Star Fox 2 is Nintendo planning to release? And how much work are they going to do on it?
