This might be the year of the fox.

After having a surprise cameo in “The Super Mario Galaxy Movie,” Nintendo’s Fox McCloud is riding that high (and his Arwing) into a remake of “Star Fox 64″ the classic space shooter originally released in 1997.

The SNES’ “Star Fox” (1993) introduced gamers to the brave pilot Fox McCloud and his squadron teammates Peppy Hare, Slippy Toad and Falco Lombardi as they flew through space and defeated galactic bad guys. The graphics weren’t much at the time, but players fell in love with the anthropomorphic animals and the on-rails shooting mechanics. Nintendo followed that up four years later with “Star Fox 64” on the Nintendo 64, which improved the graphics, added a multiplayer mode and gave voices to the characters to further bring them to life.
