* <b>June 20, 2011</b> - Confirmation! ''[[Star Fox 64 3D]]'' will be released in Europe on September 9, 2011! That is two days before North America, apparently. Looks like Nintendo are now going into a big habit of publishing games in Europe slightly before North America. Unfortunately, there is no ''real'' confirmation whether the game will retain the original title, or replace it with ''Lylat Wars'' like during the [[Nintendo 64]] days (although, at the time, they were sort of forced to, but they now have no real reason to do so), but it seems the former case is more likely.
* <b>June 7, 2011</b> - Nintendo's E3 2011 press conference had come and gone, and they officially announced the successor to the Wii console - [[wikipedia:Wii U|Wii U]]. In addition to confirming the console's touch-screen controller, the Wii U boasts amazing HD visuals Nintendo fans had longed to see. In part of Star Fox news, nothing new had been announced, contrary to our great anticipation. However, Nintendo releases brand new footage for ''[[Star Fox 64 3D]]'', which reveals that the game uses the same lines from [[Star Fox 64|the original]], but with new voices for every character. Nintendo also roughly states that the game is confirmed for a U.S. release around September 2011. '''June 8 Update:''' Apparently, the game is now set to be specifically released in the U.S. on September 11, 2011. Strangely enough, just in time for the 10th Memorial of the [[wikipedia:September 11 attacks|September 11 terrorist attacks]].

* <b>May 12, 2011</b> - '''Breaking News!''' This has been feared for a while, but now it is official. ''[[Star Fox 64 3D]]'' shall not, I repeat, shall '''NOT''' support online multiplayer features whatsoever. Like [[Star Fox 64|the original]], the game will have a multiplayer mode all right, but unfortunately despite the Nintendo 3DS' advancement in online-capablities, you can only play this game against other players locally. The game still features Download Play, where people can play against anyone even if they do not own the game, similary to ''[[Star Fox Command]]''. Additionally, players can take pictures of themselves for creating personal icons when pitting against other. Furthermore, the game includes two single modes: The 3DS mode, and a classic mode. In the former, you can use the gyroscope features to control the game, whilst the latter can be controlled the old-fashioned way, of course.
