* <b>July 6, 2011</b> - In case you have not noticed, yesterday [http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ Nintendo Co., Ltd.] unveiled a new interview in their popular "Iwata Asks" column. This time around the host, Nintendo president and CEO, [[wikipedia:Satoru Iwata|Satoru Iwata]], had taken some time to interview Star Fox creator [[Shigeru Miyamoto]], ''[[Star Fox 64]]''’s writer Mitsuhiro Takano, Nintendo EAD’s game planner Yusuke Amano, and [[Q-Games]] founder and president [[Dylan Cuthbert]], who is also apparently ''[[Star Fox 64 3D]]''’s game director. This interview officially confirms that Q-Games co-developed the game’s remake. In this interview, we find a lot of interesting tid-bits surrounding the development of ''Star Fox 64 3D'', as well as other kinds of interesting information, like Cuthbert's initial days in Japan, which was sometime before he eventually worked on what became ''[[Star Fox (game)|Star Fox]]''! You can check out this and more in the interview '''[http://www.nintendo.co.jp/3ds/interview/anrj/vol1/index.html over here]'''. Of course, you have to know some Japanese to actually understand what these people are talking about. Like all of the "Iwata Asks" interviews, this one will eventually be translated and put up on [http://www.nintendo.com/ NOA]’s and [http://www.nintendo-europe.com/ NOE]’s websites. However, I doubt this will happen too soon, as this interview was released just in time to market the game, since it will see its Japanese debut in less than two weeks from now! In the meantime, we will check into any available ''worthwhile'' alternatives for the English-speaking masses.

* <b>June 28, 2011</b> - Have you guys been to the [http://www.nintendo.co.uk/NOE/en_GB/games/nintendo_3ds/starfox_64_3d_43200.html official European ''Star Fox 64 3D''] website yet? It currently looks identical to the former Japanese teaser website, except for all the indicts which Nintendo of Europe (NOE) usually uses, as well as a different language. In fact, depending on which [http://www.nintendo-europe.com/ country's local hub] you access, the website can be available in nine different languages, which include Flemish and NOE's new official language: Russian (I am aware that [http://www.nintendo.pl/ NOE also entered Poland], but that branch is not quite yet as developed as the others, and the website is not available in Polish anyway). Nintendo of America (NOA) has yet to have a website of its own, and interestingly they are the ones who own the [http://www.starfox.com/ StarFox.com] domain, which ''still'' currently re-directs back to the main NOA hub! (NOA is being quite troublesome lately, which is why we are seeing groups like [[wikipedia:Operation Rainfall|Operation Rainfall]] popping up every now and then!)

* <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.
