Star Fox dev wasn't too upset that its 'canceled' sequel was delayed by 22 years, because he didn't want the SNES game to be compared to the "obviously far superior" PlayStation

Star Fox.

One of the developers behind the canceled Star Fox sequel was just a little glad his game didn't launch when intended, since it would never have held up to the newly-launched PlayStation.

Back in 1995, Nintendo was planning to launch Star Fox 2 on the SNES in August. By the middle of the year, the game was almost complete, but Nintendo, choosing to focus on the upcoming N64 and its 3D graphics, canceled the launch. Star Fox 2 was finished behind the scenes - complete with QA testing and localization - but didn't see the light of day until it launched as part of the SNES Classic collection in 2017.
