Note italic text below is unique to Star Fox 2 - Final Version. 

When it comes to reproduction & cancelled games Star Fox 2 is a big one! If Google: reproductions or cancelled games the first image that likely to pop up is Star Fox 2. It's also known for "The game that almost was". 
​
With the big success of the original Star Fox work begin right away on Star Fox 2 & use utilise the more powerful Super FX 2 chip.  Development went late into the SNES life cycle with Nintendo planning a release in late summer of 1995. At this time other Super FX 2 game titles been in development too. During the winter 1995 CES show hype and interest was very high with the previews of Star Fox 2. Sadly, the ground gained by the more powerful PlayStation & Sega Saturn system quickly had Nintendo pushing the Nintendo 64. As such, Star Fox 2 was seen as an ageing graphics and was scraped quietly for the revamp Star Fox 64. ​
With the success of the Nintendo mini. The SNES mini released with final true version of Star Fox 2. The game is 100% complete as intended by the original developers. This edition is easily recognised by the unique Silver 2 logo.

Sadly, and ironically, the SNES mini hardware did not replicate the original Super FX 2 chip well. Which in fact downgrade the experience. Placing the ROM on a true/original Super FX 2 chips has it running as the developers fully intended you to enjoy.
​
Compared the Fan Translation this SNES mini edition: removed bugs, has own official title screen, you need hit pause then select option to change to third person view, official English translation that considered pretty good, but you have to obtain a power-up to enable lock on, & overall increase in difficulty. 

​Note you can download a PDF version of the official manual at this web link:

​
Overall, Star Fox 2 is likely one of the best games on the SNES. Receiving many high reviews, but some criticising its age & look. Yet, everything about Star Fox 2 is an upgrade from the original. More freedom, more strategy, better sound, better graphics, fast pace action, and unique game experience & details. Many feel the aspects/character of Star Fox 2 work very well in its own right and that the later Star Fox titles/franchise fail to capture the magic, style, action, experience, or the heart of Star Fox 2. ​
For those that truly wanted the most authentic Star Fox 2 experience on the original hardware, or the most polished version, greater difficulty, or the collector that has room for another Star Fox 2, this reproduction is for you!
