Star Fox 2 was a game that lived in rumors, and some ill-gotten ROMs, for decades before it became the flagship title for the SNES Classic Edition mini console. With its subsequent release on Nintendo Switch Online, gamers today can re-live this piece of video game history on contemporary hardware.
