Pre-orders for Star Fox on Switch 2 are now available worldwide, and early listings show discounted retail pricing for the physical edition in the United States.
Retailers Walmart and Amazon are offering the boxed version at $50, matching the Nintendo eShop price.
Nintendo has set the global release date for June 25, 2026.
Background and context
Star Fox on Switch 2 is billed as a modernized take on the 1997 Nintendo 64 entry Star Fox 64.
The title returns Fox McCloud and his team to the Lylat system to face the classic antagonist Andross, while updating gameplay and online features for the current console generation.
Nintendo Life first reported the pre-order availability and the temporary retail pricing in the US.
Retailers and timing
Pre-orders have officially gone live across major retailers and the Nintendo eShop.
In place of the standard $60 MSRP, Walmart and Amazon currently list the physical edition at $50 in the US, a price that mirrors the eShop listing.
Nintendo has not announced additional pre-order bonuses for the US market.
Confirmed features
- Campaign and dedicated challenge modes
- Online multiplayer supporting up to eight players
- Joy-Con 2 mouse support
- GameChat and GameShare functionality
These features appear in official storefront descriptions and retailer pages and reflect Nintendo’s stated focus on both solo and competitive online play.
Rewriting notable statements
The promotional language has effectively told fans to "prepare for liftoff this June," a straightforward call for players to ready themselves for the title’s June 25, 2026 launch.
Retail listings and platform pages reinforce that the game aims to blend nostalgia for Star Fox 64 with modern online and control features.
What to watch
If you plan to buy a physical copy in the US, the current $50 listings at Walmart and Amazon equal the eShop price and may represent the best available pre-order option.
Nintendo has not indicated additional incentives or exclusive pre-order rewards for the US, and any updates will come through official Nintendo channels and subsequent Nintendo Direct communications.
