Star Fox 2 Footage Being Posted
It looks like there were some review embargos lifted today on the SNES Classic. As you can see in the video above, Nintendo Life talks about what it feels like to play Star Fox 2. He talks a lot about the differences between this game and the leaked ROM. Namely, he says it's significantly harder. Other changes include newer logos, description changes, name changes, and there are no lock-ons initially.
GameXplain says that it feels like a brand new retro sequel, much like Sonic Mania is to the Genesis Sonic the Hedgehog games. The reviewer also mentions that Star Fox 2 won't unlock as playable until you beat the first level of the original Star Fox. Check out the video for that info:
Here's the first 7 minutes of gameplay:

For those of you guys who have played the ROM, do you see anything else that has changed?

Not thinking the game was going to be released, I have already played the game multiple times on a phone emulation. I haven’t kept up too much with all this, so does anyone know if there’s a difference. Also, doesn’t this make the games characters and story cannon now :D fun.
Soooo, is this canon? Much like how Metal Gear has sequels to the newer games that came out ages ago? If it is canon I’m curious to see where they take the story from in the next game.

Is it a game officially released by Nintendo? Then yes, it’s canon. It’s just as canon as any other game in the series that was officially released. Unless Nintendo issues some statement that it’s not canon, then it has to be canon. If some aspect of it violates canon of other games, then that makes it tricky, because while it was released after all the others, it w as created prior to a lot of other ones (both in terms of its location in the timeline and the actual game creation). However, those tricky questions only apply for those parts of the canon. In general, it is canon.
I can’t see alot that changed exept the logo after the intro and the fading in of the characters.
I have to play the Final version on the SNES Classic to make it out
