Line 3:
''Star Fox 2'' was the 1995 [[Vaporware|unreleased]] [[Super NES]] sequel to the original ''[[Star Fox (video game)|Star Fox]]''.
 
Well, not ''officially'' released as intended. It was leaked online, then [[Fan Translation|Fan Translated]] into English. The game was actually fairly complete, lacking only some polishing touches for release, but was otherwise quite playable -- a small [[Game Mod]] fixed even this up, and the ROM is fully playable in emulators. Eventually Nintendo would give this a proper release in 2017, albeit for the Super NES Classic Edition game console.
 
ButDespite appearances the unreleased game did not go to complete commercial waste before 2017 -- two-thirds of its code was recycled for ''[[Star Fox 64]]'', and many of ''2'''s gameplay mechanics were reused for ''[[Star Fox Command]]''. But whereas reaction to ''Command'' was very mixed, the leaked ''Star Fox 2'' ROM was well-received by gamers.
 
Storywise, ''2'' continues the [[Star Fox (video game)|1993 game]]'s [[Canon]], but was the last officially-developed work to do so. In 1997, ''[[Star Fox 64]]'' [[Continuity Reboot|rebooted]] the game's universe from scratch.

** There existed indeed, at one point, an official english version of this game, as evidenced by Nintendo Power screenshots.
