One of E3’s more surprising reveals was another Nintendo and Ubisoft collaboration. Ubisoft’s toys-to-life game Starlink: Battle for Atlas looks like a mostly unremarkable space shooter, with customizable ships and a number of planets to go shoot up. But in comes Fox McCloud, the brilliant pilot from the Star Fox games, and suddenly Starlink looks a heckuva lot cooler.

We went hands-on with Starlink: Battle for Atlas at a recent Nintendo event, as well as during E3 2018. Starlink seems something like a Western reinvention of the classic Star Fox games. A cast of (very chatty) characters check in on the player as they pilot through intergalactic missions, each one requiring players to destroy certain robots and obtain specific resources. The key difference from Nintendo’s franchise is that players can unlock numerous ship parts to repair and rebuild their cruisers as needed — with a real-life series of figures speeding up the process. Otherwise, though, Starlink is clearly gunning for that throwback Star Fox vibe.
