* <b>July 21, 2011</b> - So much news coming in all of a sudden! First off, ''[[Star Fox 64 3D]]'' is enjoying a promising success in Japan, as the game sold over 32,000 copies in the first week alone, which made it the number one Nintendo 3DS game, and the sixth best game overall in the Japanese charts last week. Part of the success could possibly attribute to the new Flare Red Nintendo 3DS color release. In other news, Nintendo of America finally launches [http://starfox643d.nintendo.com/ their own official website] today, and although it uses a subsite URL, the page actually makes use of the StarFox.com domain, albeit as a mere redirect. Also, with the launch of the website comes even better news for the U.S. fans to rejoice, as NOA actually decided to bump up the release date from Sunday to Friday, which means the new official North American release date is now September 9, 2011 - the same day as the European release date! This is likely done in part to avoid the game clashing with the 10th Memorial of the [[wikipedia:September 11 attacks|September 11 terrorist attacks]].
* <b>July 20, 2011</b> - Attending the [http://www.comic-con.org/cci/ Comic-Con] in San Diego tomorrow? Nintendo will be there too, and they are going to allow the public to play an assortment of game demos, even for games that are yet-to-be-released. One of these games is the U.S. version of ''[[Star Fox 64 3D]]''! In other news, Nintendo of America had released a brand new trailer for ''Star Fox 64 3D'' today. Check it out [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZPZPScDoUE over here]!

* <b>July 15, 2011</b> - [http://www.nintendo.com.au/ Nintendo Australia] finally launched their [http://gamesites.nintendo.com.au/starfox/en_AU/index.php own official teaser website for ''Star Fox 64 3D''], but unfortunately they still have yet to announce the release date for the Oceania region. Nintendo of America are the only ones left to put up their own official website. Another bit of news you mostly already known, ''Star Fox 64 3D'' is now available in Japan since yesterday! If you wish to import the game, you need to have a Japanese Nintendo 3DS as they are region-locked, unfortunately. Also, although unrelated directly to Star Fox, Nintendo Co., Ltd. had launched a new color for the Nintendo 3DS alongside the game -  the [http://www.starfoxwiki.org/w/images/5/55/3DS.jpg Flare Red edition] - the third official color which was originally revealed way back in E3 2010. <b>July 16 Update</b>: Oh wait! Silly me. Looks like the people of Oceania (Australia and New Zealand generally) will be getting the game on September 15, 2011, four days after the U.S. release. They did not post the date on the game's own site, but I found it elsewhere.

* <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://iwataasks.nintendo.com/ NOA]’s and [http://www.nintendo.co.uk/NOE/en_GB/news/iwata_asks_12108.html 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.
