To celebrate the inclusion of Fox McCloud in The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, we&#8217;re checking out Star Fox Assault, released in 2005 and developed by Namco. Taking place after the events of Star Fox Adventures, it garnered reasonable reception, though our own <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/reviews\/2010\/09\/star_fox_assault_retro\">6\/10 review<\/a> noted that the occasional on-rails segment proved disappointing.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s another duel this week as North America and Europe take on Japan, so enough waffling, let&#8217;s get to it.<\/p>\n<p><!-- cache: html:nintendolife.com\/ssl\/gamecube\/related-articles:178179,11886 @ 1775402122 --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"block object-related\"> <\/aside>\n<h2>North America \/ Europe<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"picture\" data-uuid=\"aebb230fd9cff\"><a class=\"scanlines\" title=\"Assault - NA \/ EU\" href=\"https:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/aebb230fd9cff\/assault-na-eu.large.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/aebb230fd9cff\/assault-na-eu.900x.jpg\" width=\"900\" height=\"1292\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Assault - NA \/ EU\"><\/a><figcaption class=\"caption\"><em class=\"credit\"><span class><\/span> Image: <a class=\"external\" href=\"https:\/\/gamesdb.launchbox-app.com\/games\/details\/2146-star-fox-assault\">Nintendo \/ Launchbox<\/a><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Oof, so the Western design is really nice, right? The composition, the action shots, the vehicles, the cool Fox McCloud pose&#8230; It all works really well.
