* <b>November 18, 2011</b> - Have you been using [http://www.google.com/ Google] lately? Of course, it is very, very unlikely anyone browsing on the internet would not ever use the ever-popular Google search engine. Anyway, why am I asking you if you had been using Google? Well, recently Google implemented something that could be considered a tribute to the Star Fox series. A sort of Easter egg, if you will. I shall not say any more about it, but you can easily find out yourself. I highly suggest you use the [http://www.google.com/chrome/?hl=en Google Chrome] browser for this process though, as it may not work on just any platform. Log on Google's main page, and type in [[Peppy Hare]]'s famous words, "Do a [[barrel roll]]." You will then see what happens exactly. | |||
* <b>October 7, 2011</b> - Nintendo will be attending the [http://www.newyorkcomiccon.com/ New York Comic Con] this year, and as usual in these events they are allowing the public to play a selection of highly anticipating games, including ''[[Star Fox 64 3D]]''. It may not sound like a big deal since ''Star Fox 64 3D'' is already available in stores, but I am using this bit of news as a shameless plug so that people would acknowledge attending the convention anyway so that they try out the selection of many other yet-to-be-released games from Nintendo on all available consoles. Visitors to the convention might even get a surprise or two. | * <b>October 7, 2011</b> - Nintendo will be attending the [http://www.newyorkcomiccon.com/ New York Comic Con] this year, and as usual in these events they are allowing the public to play a selection of highly anticipating games, including ''[[Star Fox 64 3D]]''.

* <b>September 21, 2011</b> - ''[[Star Fox 64 3D]]'''s game planner - Yusuke Amano - recently revealed in an interview with the European ''[[wikipedia:Official Nintendo Magazine|Official Nintendo Magazine]]'' about the reasons behind the lack of online support in the game. He explained that making a satisfying, seamless multiplayer experience for every user would have been very costly for them, and additionally implementing any online support would have taken development time longer, and subsequently would have urged the development teams to release the game at a much later date. Development was heavily focused on the game's graphics in order to promote the appeal of the Nintendo 3DS, and Nintendo's management could not allow any extra time in development either. | * <b>September 21, 2011</b> - ''[[Star Fox 64 3D]]'''s game planner - Yusuke Amano - recently revealed in an interview with the European ''[[wikipedia:Official Nintendo Magazine|Official Nintendo Magazine]]'' about the reasons behind the lack of online support in the game.

* <b>September 15, 2011</b> - So, with the release of ''[[Star Fox 64 3D]]'' in Australia today, this marks the total availability of the game worldwide. If you have the game for your own Nintendo 3DS units, enjoy one of the remake of one of the greatest retro games of all time! | |||
* <b>September 13, 2011</b> - Despite being a remake, ''[[Star Fox 64 3D]]'' is enjoying quite a significant reception in its Western release. In the United Kingdom, it became the number one Nintendo 3DS game during its launch week, and it also took ninth place for best sold game of the week overall. Too bad we do not have any numbers from the United States yet. | |||
* <b>September 9, 2011</b> - Unless you live in Australia, what in the world are you doing on this site? Go to your nearest video game store right now and pick up your local copy of ''[[Star Fox 64 3D]]'', assuming if you have not already done so! If you do not have a Nintendo 3DS, then get one! Once you do, enjoy the game '''at long last!''' | * <b>September 9, 2011</b> - Unless you live in Australia, what in the world are you doing on this site?

* <b>August 26, 2011</b> - Do you recall when we reported early in July about a then-new "Iwata Asks" interview based on ''[[Star Fox 64 3D]]''? Well, back then, the interview was only in Japanese, but as expected it has finally been officially translated, and posted up on other regional websites (except for Australia at the time of this post). Actually, the translations have been around for a while now, but I missed them the first time since due to lack of full attention back then. Sorry about that guys, but better late than never, in case you have not known about them already. Anyway, the interviews are a highly recommended read for true Star Fox enthusiasts, as it reveals some information bits nobody ever knew before. You can find the English translation either [http://iwataasks.nintendo.com/interviews/#/3ds/starfox/0/0 here] or [http://www.nintendo.co.uk/NOE/en_GB/news/iwata/iwata_asks_starfox_64_44230_44231.html here]. | * <b>August 26, 2011</b> - Do you recall when we reported early in July about a then-new "Iwata Asks" interview based on ''[[Star Fox 64 3D]]''?
