Takaya Imamura, the former Nintendo artist behind the original Star Fox crew, has said on X that he prefers The Super Mario Galaxy Movie‘s version of Fox McCloud to the new Star Fox game’s Fox McCloud. However, Mr. Imamura said that he doesn’t dislike the Nintendo Switch 2 game’s design of Fox McCloud, instead he praised it for having a clear direction and being well defined, he just prefers the movie version.
“Personally, I prefer the movie version, but I thought this version was good too because its direction was clear and well-defined!”
