Star Fox 64 3D barrel rolls out in Japan July 14

by Griffin McElroy on Apr 13th 2011 7:30PM

It's looking to be a fairly delightful summer for folks waiting on pins and needles for renovated versions of Nintendo 64 classics on the 3DS. Just one day after announcing The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time's June 19 release date, Nintendo's uploaded a Japanese launch date for Star Fox 64 3D to the game's official site: The bestial flight combat simulator is scheduled to hit Japanese store shelves July 14.

We've got our fingers crossed that Star Fox's journey to North America will be as speedy as Ocarina of Time's (which is coming out in Japan just three days before releasing in the U.S.). Is that wishful thinking? Perhaps. But hey, if we've gotta wish on something, we may as well wish upon a Star!

Fox.

just go buy an n64

@Patricio87
Just....DO A BARREL ROLL!!!

@Patricio87

But it wont be in the third dimension.

@Patricio87

I asked for one at Walmart and they just looked at me funny.

@Patricio87

I still have my N64 AND both Ocarina of Time and Star Fox 64, but I'm still getting both for my 3DS.

@Patricio87. But it wouldn't be portable!

@The Wicker Man exactly! and have you ever tried to play n64 on an HD tv? it looks like such poop. and it's not widescreen!

Use the boost to get through!!....to July :(

@xJimmeh

whoa! can you make it??.....to July? :(

@xJimmeh
Location Confirmed. Sending ...money.

@The Only Girl

Can't let you do that, Girl Fox.

@Mr Fister

Just who I want to see... Fister Wolf.

I'm gonna be on that R button like stink on a skunk.

and the n64 remakes start again!

/ilovethisgame

tried a 3ds out at gamestop. Its an amazing device!this looks awesome. Can't wait to BARREL ROLL IN 3D

Know what would be great? If they'd finally release Starfox 2 with the new graphics and 3D.

@Unreal Armos

That'd be awesome.

@Unreal Armos

Isn't Star Fox 64 already Star Fox 2?

@Colin

Not if you count the second SNES game, which remains unreleased to this day. At the time, it was held back so that the N64 would seem more impressive by comparison, but I'd like to think the statute of limitations on that has passed by a week or two.

@Unreal Armos

It remains unreleased OFFICIALLY. You can find the rom online.

Lylat Wars was so good though, that I don't really begrudge them not putting out StarFox 2....

OMG! A rail-shooter in 3D is probably the best idea yet.

Looks like they couldn't figure out what to do with the second screen.

@Raffi256

It's an early screenshot from a demo. They'll most likely put something else on the bottom screen for the final game.

@skeldare

doubt it... the second screen is pretty gimmicky lol

Think there is only one thing that can be said about this and that is:
"DO A BARREL ROLL!"

Nintendo should be ashamed of themself charging 40 bucks for 12 year old games

@Dmont16

Squeenix has been doing it for years.

@Dmont16

Yeah, Nintendo, rot in hell for upgrading some of the best games ever and charging money for them! Now, here, take my wallet you magnificent bastards!

@A Sandwich
Take all my money as punishment! I hope you've learned your lesson!

@original fred
They upgraded the graphics but what else. You can get the same games (Zelda & starfox 64) for cheaper else where. I'm just dissapointed at nintendo because the best they can do is come out with 2 old games at full price. Where are they're new AAA games.

@Dmont16 Paper Mario, Kid Icarus Uprising, and the next Animal Crossing game are still being Perfected. Quitcherbitchin and just don't buy a 3DS until those come out like all us poor folk and non-streetfighter addicts. However, Nintendogs+Cats is already out...

@Dmont16. Agreed. I am running an emulator on my phone for this very game. I wish they would release a "Nintendo Classics" line with a lower price point. Then I could buy my about to be 8 year old a lesson or two in game history in addition to the 3DS for his birthday! :)

What a fun game, it's a bit hairy to control using the cc (first gen) - still playable though.

They could have put a map on the bottom screen, even if it's on rails - it could scroll. Command I think was the next best game in the series after this version. Though I did enjoy the Rare Zelda clone that is Adventures. Assault is not a good game on any level, really.

Anyone that has not played this game and has a 3DS should pick this up. and Starfox: Command.

@Nook yeah, assault was traumatic, but I for one loved Adventures wholeheartedly.

im so glad Nintendo was able to release all these great games that we heard about last in their 3 month "launch window".....wait....this is isnt in the launch window! well, theres still legend of z.....no wait, thats not in it either. Well surely, the game they announced WITH THE REVEAL OF THE 3DS, Kid Icarus will release in the "launch window" what? no release date on that yet? well......guess ill keep playing shadow wars and stare at my pilot wings complete game. good job nintendo.

@BLipp18

The launch window was 6 months, not 3. Im not that good at math myself, but Im pretty sure July is within 6 months of March.

@jph89 their "launch window" was from launch to E3, and last time i checked, e3 is June 7 - 9, and these dates are after that

Great news Nintendo. Now please give us more info on Super Mario 3D! (or paper mario, or mario kart... I need MARIO!!!)

Will it come with the rumble pack?

Can we do a barrel roll with the gyroscope?

@The Aquacharger

How? Throwing the 3DS into the air so it spins and catching it in mid-air?

@GuitarHero666
Yes.

@The Aquacharger

Tossing a $250 piece of technology, while twirling it, is not recommended

@Marshillboy Aw, now that's just mean.

Waiting for Megan Fox 69

@DeadInside

I'm gonna wait for the sequel, Megan Fox 69 2: Recovering from the clap.

@DeadInside
69 yr-old Megan Fox...? ...in 3D?

Can't wait for this.

I already hear Peppy whining in my head to do a barrel roll...WITH the actual song playing in the back too XD

Half of my wants this game so much, the other half is prepared to tear off my ears if I have to listen to Slippy Toad once more.
