GameCube Classic Star Fox Adventures Available Via Nintendo Switch Online Today

Underappreciated GameCube classic Star Fox Adventures will arrive on Nintendo Switch 2 today, as part of the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack subscription.

Originally launched back in 2002, this adventure game raised eyebrows at the time for ditching the Star Fox franchise's usual vehicle-based shooting for something more akin to a Zelda title. But it's become something of a cult favorite in the years since, and some fans really like the character of Krystal, introduced to the series here for the first time.
