Game Description
Star Fox: Assault brought Nintendo’s legendary space combat series back to the spotlight in 2005, blending high-speed Arwing missions with on-foot firefights and ground vehicle combat. Developed by Namco in partnership with Nintendo, the game aimed to expand the franchise’s scope beyond pure flight missions, giving players control of Fox McCloud across varied battlefields. From intense dogfights in orbit to third-person ground skirmishes against enemy swarms, Assault delivered a bold new vision for the Star Fox universe.
The campaign picks up after the events of Star Fox 64, pitting the Star Fox team against a sinister new threat — the insectoid Aparoid race. Fans were treated to full voice acting, cinematic storytelling, and the return of beloved characters like Falco, Slippy, and Peppy as the team navigated a galaxy-spanning war. The variety of mission types and vehicles gave the adventure a fresh sense of scale while still retaining the arcade-like feel that made the series famous.
While opinions on its ground combat were mixed, Star Fox: Assault is now remembered as an ambitious entry that pushed the series in new directions. Its strong visuals, orchestral soundtrack, and ties to the series’ iconic characters make it a compelling part of the GameCube’s first-party lineup. Today, it holds appeal for both fans of the franchise and collectors seeking to complete Nintendo’s storied space saga.

- On-foot combat missions featuring blasters, sniper rifles, and heavy weapons
- Ground vehicle action with the Landmaster tank for heavy-duty firepower

- Voice acting and cutscenes bring Fox McCloud and his team to life

Historical Trivia or Fun Fact
Developed by Namco’s ace Project Aces team — best known for the Ace Combat series — Star Fox: Assault represented a rare collaboration between Nintendo and a major third-party studio. The result combined Namco’s expertise in aerial combat with Nintendo’s storytelling and characters, producing one of the most ambitious GameCube exclusives of its generation.
Though not as universally acclaimed as Star Fox 64, the game has grown in appreciation for its orchestral score and expanded lore. Today, collectors value Star Fox: Assault as a key part of the franchise’s history — especially since it remains the only console Star Fox title to mix flight, ground, and vehicle combat into one package.
