Star Fox Switch 2 June 25 Australia

Resident Entertainment reported on May 21 that *Star Fox* for Nintendo Switch 2 is scheduled to launch in Australia on June 25, 2026, citing preorder and feature details now visible in the local market. Nintendo’s Australian store page also lists a planned release date of 25/06/2026, while Nintendo’s U.S. store page gives the same date as June 25, 2026. The game is being presented as a Switch 2-exclusive return for Fox McCloud and the Star Fox team, with Australian retail listings already live. ### Where is the June 25 date coming from? Nintendo’s Australian game page says *Star Fox* will be “Available 25/6/2026” and includes a “Pre-order now” prompt tied to retailer listings. The Australian Nintendo store separately lists the same planned release date, 25/06/2026, for Nintendo Switch 2. Resident Entertainment’s May 21 report matched that timing and framed it as the current Australian launch date. (residententertainment.com.au) ### Is this an Australia-only date or a wider launch? Nintendo’s U.S. store page lists *Star Fox* with a release date of June 25, 2026, indicating the date is not limited to Australia. The U.S. page describes the game as a “cinematic reimagining of Star Fox 64” with enhanced visuals and orchestral music, while the Australian page calls it a remake of the Nintendo 64 game *Lylat Wars*. Taken together, the store pages point to a coordinated June 25 release across regions where Nintendo has published listings. (residententertainment.com.au) ### What does Nintendo say the game includes? Nintendo’s Australian store page says the game supports TV mode, tabletop mode and handheld mode. The same listing says player support runs from 1-2 players locally and 1-8 players online, and that GameShare is supported with GameChat users and local users. Save Data Cloud support is also listed, with Nintendo noting that a paid Nintendo Switch Online membership is required for that feature. (nintendo.com) Nintendo’s U.S. store page says players will “step into the cockpit and fly across the stars and skies with Fox McCloud and the Star Fox team,” while Resident Entertainment said the release is being pitched as a *Star Fox 64*-based return with a visual overhaul, cinematic cutscenes, voiced briefings, branching campaign routes, challenge objectives and a new 4-vs-4 battle mode. (store.nintendo.com.au) ### What do Australian retailer listings show right now? EB Games Australia has a live product page for *Star Fox* on Nintendo Switch 2 and says some features require a compatible USB-C camera for video chat, while online modes require a paid Nintendo Switch Online membership. Officeworks lists the game at A$88 with preorder availability from June 25, 2026. The Gamesmen lists the title at A$89.95, marked “Pre-Order Due 25th June 2026,” with collection and delivery timing tied to June 24-25. (residententertainment.com.au) ### What should buyers watch before ordering? Resident Entertainment said release dates, prices and delivery details can still change before launch and advised readers to check retailer listings carefully before ordering. Nintendo’s Australian page currently routes buyers to retailers rather than offering a direct checkout flow on the page excerpt surfaced in search results. That leaves local availability, pricing and any preorder bonuses dependent on individual sellers. (ebgames.com.au) June 25, 2026 is the date now appearing across Resident Entertainment’s report, Nintendo’s Australian and U.S. store pages, and several Australian retailer listings. The next concrete step for buyers is the preorder window now open through retailers named on Nintendo’s Australian game page, including EB Games, Officeworks and The Gamesmen.
