Takaya Imamura, the artist who created the look of Fox McCloud for the 1993 Star Fox game, has shared his views on the new character designs revealed for the Star Fox 64 remake on Nintendo Switch 2.
Imamura, who retired from Nintendo in 2021, posted on X that he woke up to many messages about the announcement. He expressed pride in seeing the series return but noted he was not involved in the new designs. “I guess this is how it turns out if I’m not supervising… or something like that,” he wrote. He added that the concept is good and the remake has a clear direction, yet he personally prefers the version of Fox from The Super Mario Galaxy Movie.
