Despite being canceled, many of Star Fox 2’s concepts had a resounding impact on all future releases in the series. All-Range Mode and land vehicles became a series staple from Star Fox 64 on. Star Fox 2’s open-ended strategic elements and the transforming Walker reappeared in Star Fox Command for the Nintendo DS and Star Fox Zero for the Wii U, respectively. The villainous Star Wolf team also played a major role in future games after debuting in Star Fox 2.
