Well, not ''officially'' released as intended. It was leaked online, then [[Fan Translation|Fan Translated]] into English. The game was actually fairly complete, lacking only some polishing touches for release, but was otherwise quite playable -- a small [[Game Mod]] fixed even this up, and the ROM is fully playable in emulators. Eventually Nintendo would give this a proper release in 2017, albeit for the Super NES Classic Edition game console. |

Despite appearances the unreleased game did not go to complete commercial waste before 2017 -- two-thirds of its code was recycled for ''[[Star Fox 64]]'', and many of ''2'''s gameplay mechanics were reused for ''[[Star Fox Command]]''.
