There has been no solid news of a Star Fox<\/a> game on the Switch and Nintendo fans are growing restless. None more so is this case than modder KandoWontu who is getting close to completing work on ‘Star Fox Exploration Showcase’, a mod for the 16-bit SNES classic which not only strives to adapt the original game, but to build entirely new structures into it including new levels, ships, weapons and (yes, you guessed it) a fully-functional multiplayer mode.<\/p>\n

Just what did it take to get into this iconic game code in the first place, and when will we be able to get our paws on it? Jack Yarwood over at our new sister site, Time Extension<\/a>, got the chance to sit down with KandoWontu to find out all this and more.<\/p>\n

The modder’s original plan was to simply add in Star Fox 2<\/a>‘s distinctive all-range mode as well as some fun new camera mechanics from fellow modder, Starxxon (simple<\/em>, right?) However, it seems that KandoWontu’s hunger was far greater, as he states in the interview:<\/p>\n

\n

After that, I thought why not make the ships changeable? And the weapons? And before you know it I was adding new features and hidden codes.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

These new features are, in our view, the most exciting part of the mod and there’s a whole lotta’ them that are being added. ‘At this point,’ KandoWontu says, ‘I\u2019ve added a full second map with the original intact and still playable, the new map has 3 new courses, a secret level, new backgrounds\/enemies\/bosses\/music, and much more!’<\/p>\n
