Star Fox 2 was an unreleased game on the SNES originally made in 1996, but when Star Fox 64 came around this game was left to rot, meaning only select people who pirated games were able to acquire this gem.
In response to people playing the unreleased copy on SNES emulators, Nintendo made a surprise release on the SNES classic in 2017, then a little later on the Switch, where it now rests today.
The unusual history of this game was a result of poor planning by Nintendo, since the N64's release interfered with other releases. Oddly enough,never though Star Fox 2 didn't make it, another in progress game (Kirby Dream Land 3) would be released in 1997, thus raising some... Interesting questions: Why did Nintendo truly cancel the release of Star Fox 2 for 21 whole years allowing pirates to dominate this game? Who initially leaked the unreleased copy? The questions surrounding this mysterious game will likely never truly be solved, but at least we all can enjoy playing this game on Switch (And maybe the Switch 2 as well) and listen to it's vast soundtrack. Which is very large for a SNES game.
