Star Fox 64™ 3D invites players to take on the role of legendary Fox McCloud
as they lead a fearless squadron of fighters in fierce aerial combat to battle the
evil forces of Andross and save the galaxy from destruction.
The rich 3D visuals provide a remarkable sense of depth, distance and position as players
dodge meteors and blast enemy fighters out of the sky.
FEATURES:
• A complete graphical update brings a Nintendo classic into the era of portable 3D fun. The
game makes effective use of the Nintendo 3DS system’s dual screens: The top screen
features 3D aerial combat, while the bottom screen displays characters and dialogue.
• There are two control methods for the player to experience. The Nintendo 64 Mode offers
original controls, while the new Nintendo 3DS Mode uses the motion controls of the
built-in Gyro Sensor of the Nintendo 3DS system.
• Trusted wingmen Peppy, Slippy and Falco are along for the ride – if one of them is chased
or captured by an enemy, players must act to protect them in order to keep their team
strong.
• Each mission takes players through a different planet of the Lylat system as they blast
enemies, collect power-ups and fight powerful bosses on their way to the final battle.
• A new multiplayer option lets up to four players engage in fierce aerial combat via a local
wireless connection (using four systems and one game card via DS Download Play). The
multiplayer mode also includes new power-ups and special weapons. Players can use the
Nintendo 3DS system’s inner camera to display a live video feed of their faces as they
battle, bringing a new level of fun and personalization to the multiplayer experience.

We are glad that this series is back and hopefully more titles will come from the Star Fox Team.
One of my favorite ever N64 games. I’m kind of interested in this.
