Star Fox (called Starwing in Europe, due to copyright issues) was the first game in the Star Fox series of video games. It was released in the spring of 1993 for Super Nintendo.
The game cartridge was the first to include the Super FX chip, an early 3D accelerator.
The complex display of three-dimensional models with texture-mapped polygons was still new and rare in video games, and this first Star Fox game was much hyped as a result. Star Fox had kemono character designs and the musical compositions of Hajime Hirasawa, as well as obstacle-course-style gameplay. Star Fox was developed by Nintendo and Argonaut Software, and published by Nintendo.
In 1997, Nintendo published Star Fox 64 for Nintendo 64, featuring a complete remake and rewrite of the Star Fox storyline.
