Rewriting of notable announcement language
Nintendo’s original announcement declared that pre-orders were live.
Restated in journalistic terms: Nintendo has opened digital pre-orders for Star Fox on the eShop and is offering a preload option so customers can download the title ahead of the June release.

What we know is limited to official details released by Nintendo: the June launch window, pricing tiers for digital and physical editions, the 14.8GB download requirement for digital installs, the revealed box art, and the immediate availability of pre-orders on the Nintendo eShop.
Further specifics about gameplay changes, developer credits beyond Nintendo’s announcement, or additional editions have not been confirmed by Nintendo at this time.
