'''<big>Star Fox News</big>'''
* <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>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 24, 2011</b> - The annual [http://prime.paxsite.com/ Penny Arcade Expo] (PAX) is returning to Seattle again this week, and Nintendo will be attending. Nintendo will be displaying a number of their most anticipated upcoming titles, including ''[[Star Fox 64 3D]]'', which is not surprising since the game was featured during the Comic-Con event last month. However, in case you are attending PAX, just know that on August 27 there will be a ''Star Fox 64 3D'' tournament between 7pm and 10pm, and Nintendo will be having daily giveaways too. So, if you are attending PAX at that date, have fun! In unrelated news, there had been rumors that Nintendo might announce a revamped Nintendo 3DS design that is to be released in 2012. Gaming rumors tend to turn out true, but keep in mind it is always a good idea never to take any rumor seriously until the information had been officially confirmed.

* '''December 11th, 2022''' - The [[dqwiki:Main Page|Dragon Quest Wiki]] has been officially ousted as a member of the NIWA Network today, following a unanimous vote by our members. The ousting comes after inappropriate conduct by the wiki's new host, including repeated harassment and slurs towards our community members, and concluding they cannot be trusted to safeguard users' private information.

The second is Ukikipedia, a comprehensive wiki database about every technical aspect of the [[Nintendo 64]]'s flagship title ''[[ukikipedia:Super Mario 64|Super Mario 64]]'' and its variant re-releases, a great resource for the hacking and modding scene wanting to create their own builds based on the game and its variants.

* <b>August 17, 2011</b> - Nintendo of America  is currently holding a ''[[Star Fox 64 3D]]'' promotional sweepstakes in  conjunction with [http://aircombatusa.com/ Air Combat USA]. The winner  gets to experience one of Air Combat USA's flights, which simulates the movements fighter pilots as in combat. This sweepstakes is only open to  residents in the U.S. and Canada, however. Check it out  [http://apps.facebook.com/flylikefox/ here] if interested! In other  news, Hidetomo Komaki, a one-time chief Concept Artist at [[List of Star Fox game developers#Namco|Namco]], had recently released a bunch of his  old, never-before-seen concept artwork, based on ''[[Star Fox:  Assault]]'', via his [http://tomotomore.blogspot.com/ personal blog]. The artworks are now  [http://starfox-online.net/index.php/gallery/album/40-concept-art/  permanently hosted on StarFox-Online]. Take a look at them, as they make  great references for fanart or otherwise.
* '''June 11, 2018''' - During the Ubisoft E3 2018 Conference, it was revealed that the [[nwiki:Nintendo Switch|Nintendo Switch]] version of Ubisoft's upcoming toys-to-life title ''[[Starlink: Battle for Atlas]]'' will include characters and vehicles from the [[Star Fox (series)|''Star Fox'' series]], and respective physical figurines will be made for them.
* <b>August 10, 2011</b> - Not exactly related news, but since  the situation is very similar to that that happened in Japan, I would  personally say this is a notable mention. Nintendo of America recently  confirmed that they are going to release the third official color of the  [[Nintendo 3DS]] - Flame Red - in North America. Just like in Japan, the new color will coincide with the release of ''[[Star Fox 64 3D]]'',  meaning it will arrive on September 9, 2011. There is still no word  whether the new color will be released in other regions as well. The new  color will be the same price as the other colors, which will be 169.99  USD after Nintendo's critically notorious, official price-cut that will be established in two days from this date. For those of you who already  own a Nintendo 3DS, are you eligible in the [http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2011/07/faq_nintendo_ambassador_program_and_free_eshop_games  Ambassador's program] yet?
* '''June 26, 2017''' - '''BREAKING NEWS''': Nintendo has casually, yet officially just announced earlier today that the long-rumored Super NES Classic Edition, also known as the Nintendo Classic Mini: Super Nintendo Entertainment System in the PAL regions, will be released on September 29, 2017. The microconsole will be priced at $79.99 in North America, and will include 21 pre-installed [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]] titles, including the original ''[[Star Fox (game)|Star Fox]]'', getting re-released for the first time since its original 1993 launch, and - believe it or not - the '''previously never-released ''[[Star Fox 2]]'''''. It is a great year to be a Nintendo fan!
* <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]].
** (P.S.: And yes! The original ''Star Fox'' will be released under its original title in the PAL regions as well!)
* <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]!
* '''October 20, 2016''' - Nintendo officially announces their upcoming console the [[nwiki:Nintendo Switch|Nintendo Switch]], formerly known as "Codename NX", via a teaser trailer. It has been reaffirmed for a March 2017 release, albeit no additional information on game titles and technical specs will be revealed until January 2017. Stay tuned for further developments.
* <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.
* '''July 11, 2016''' - [http://www.nintendo-europe.com/ Nintendo of Europe] confirms their weekly Nintendo eShop lineup today for July 14, and reveal they are releasing two new special demo games for the Wii U. One of the demos is ''Star Fox Zero: The Battle Begins + Training'', based on ''[[Star Fox Zero]]'', and as the title suggests it includes the full short film ''[[Star Fox Zero: The Battle Begins|The Battle Begins]]'' as well as the game's Training Mode. The other demo is ''Star Fox Guard: Special Demo Version'', based on ''[[Star Fox Guard]]''. No additional details were revealed however. Like any demo version, both these downloads will be available for free for anyone still on the fence about acquiring either game. No confirmation from Nintendo of America regarding the availability these demo versions however.
* <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.
* '''April 27, 2016''' - During the 2015-2016 Q4 investor's meeting earlier today, Nintendo confirms their next generation platform dubbed "Codename NX" will be released on March 2017. Nintendo also reaffirms the platform will be officially revealed this year, however not before or during the upcoming [[wikipedia:Electronic Entertainment Expo 2016|E3 2016]] trade show, with Nintendo stating their focus during the event will be for the yet again delayed [[zeldawiki:Zelda Wii U|''The Legend of Zelda'' game for Wii U and now "NX"]].
* <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!)
* '''April 22, 2016''' - ''[[Star Fox Zero]]'' and ''[[Star Fox Guard]]'' are now available in retail stores and on the Nintendo eShop in North America and most of Europe. Get the games now, separately or together! Both titles will also be available in Oceania starting tomorrow.
* <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.
* '''April 18, 2016''' - Along with a teaser trailer, Nintendo of America officially announced ''[[Star Fox Zero: The Battle Begins]]'' today. ''Star Fox Zero: The Battle Begins'' is a promotional anime short film, and a collaboration effort between producer [[Shigeru Miyamoto]], and [[wikipedia:Production I.G|Production I.G]] alongside subsidiary [[wikipedia:Wit Studio|Wit Studio]]. The short will have its world premiere live on April 20 at 3 pm PT, following by a live stream of [http://live.nintendo.com/ Nintendo Treehouse: Live] demonstrating ''[[Star Fox Zero]]'' and ''[[Star Fox Guard]]''. Production I.G is well known for other animation works based on both manga and video games, such as the anime adaptations of [[wikipedia:Ghost in the Shell|''Ghost in the Shell'']] and [[wikipedia:Attack on Titan|''Attack on Titan'']].
* <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]].
* '''March 21, 2016''' - [http://www.nintendo-europe.com/ Nintendo of Europe] announced today that ''[[Star Fox 64]]'' will be available on the Nintendo eShop as a [[Wii U]] Virtual Console title on March 24, 2016 for a promotional price of only €4.99 / £4.49 until April 21, 2016, one day before the expected release of ''[[Star Fox Zero]]''; the price will afterwards revert to the standard Nintendo 64 Virtual Console game price of €9.99 / £8.99, so you better hurry and take advantage of this offer! In addition, for the first time ever, Europeans can play the U.S. version of ''Star Fox 64'' at its glorious full 60 Hz! If you previously purchased ''Lylat Wars'' from the Wii Shop Channel on or transferred to the same Wii U console, you can get the Nintendo eShop re-release at only a fraction of the price as any other Nintendo 64 title, despite it being the U.S. version with the proper "Star Fox 64" moniker.
* <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. ''[http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/109994-Nintendo-Shoots-Down-Online-Play-for-StarFox-64-3D Source]''
* '''March 03, 2016''' - Despite various rumors in previous weeks about a second delay, today's Nintendo Direct presentation in all regions had reaffirmed that ''[[Star Fox Zero]]'' will be released as scheduled back in November 2015. The game will go on sale on April 21, 2016 in Japan, and on April 22, 2016 in North America and Europe. In addition to this, Nintendo officially announces the first spin-off in the series - ''[[Star Fox Guard]]'' - a [[Wii U]] tower defense strategy game featuring [[Slippy Toad]] with his uncle [[Grippy Toad|Grippy]]. The game will be primarily available from the Nintendo eShop, but it was also confirmed a physical game disc will available in a limited two-pack bundle with ''Star Fox Zero'' at launch. Both games will launch simultaneously in all regions. ''Star Fox Guard'' was originally presented as a tech demo by producer [[Shigeru Miyamoto]] at E3 2014 under the working title ''Project Guard'', but only today was it confirmed as an official Star Fox title. Other new details from the Nintendo Direct include the branching paths and amiibo functionality in ''Star Fox Zero''.
* <b>April 25, 2011</b> - Amongst all the hustle and bustle of on-going rumors about Nintendo's next console, dubbed Project Café, the mother company in Japan had confirmed that they will unveil their next console during the coming E3 2011 event, and it will also be playable. In other news, [[Shigeru Miyamoto]] was in a press event in France lately, and he revealled some new details about ''[[Star Fox 64 3D]]'': In addition to the fact that the game's development had long been completed, the game will apparently take advantage of the Nintendo 3DS' gyroscope capability, apparently giving "a new dimension to the game."
* '''November 13, 2015''' - After unveiling a brand new cinematic trailer for ''[[Star Fox Zero]]'', today's Nintendo Direct presentation in all regions confirmed the new release date as April 2016, with the North American Direct going a step further stating the game will be out by April 22, 2016. ''Star Fox Zero'' was originally expected to be released this month, before producer [[Shigeru Miyamoto]] delivered the unfortunate news that the game's development period was extended, and will not be released until Q1 2016.
* <b>April 14, 2011</b> - '''This just in!''' Nintendo Co., Ltd. (as in Nintendo in Japan) had launched their [http://www.nintendo.co.jp/3ds/anrj/index.html official website] for ''[[Star Fox 64 3D]]'', unveiling the game's final logo and Japanese release date - '''July 14, 2011'''! At this rate, a localized release of ''Star Fox 64 3D'' would not be far off from that date. There is not much to the page at the moment, but take a look and you shall be immersed into a ''very familiar'' introduction sequence.
* '''September 25, 2015''' - [http://www.nintendo.com.au/ Nintendo Australia] has confirmed they are attending the [http://www.ebexpo.com.au/ 2015 EB Games Expo] at the Sydney Showgrounds from October 2 until October 4, 2015. They will be hosting various gaming competitions and are going to demo a wide array of available and upcoming titles for Wii U and Nintendo 3DS, with ''[[Star Fox Zero]]'' included. If you live close by to Sydney, if not in Australia in general, do not miss this opportunity.
* <b>March 27, 2011</b> - The [[Nintendo 3DS]] has been  officially launched in North America today. Australians should be  expecting their own launch day in the last day of March, and by then  Nintendo would be done with the distribution of its latest console in  the key markets. For now, we are anticipating the coming of this year's  Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) by mid-June, hopefully there should  be a lot to look forward to, including release details for ''[[Star Fox  64 3D]]'', and any other possible Star Fox games, most likely for the  [[Wii]].
* '''September 18, 2015''' - '''BREAKING NEWS''': ''[[Star Fox Zero]]'' producer [[Shigeru Miyamoto]] personally appeared via the official social media channels today to personally issue an apology for a hard decision he made in the past week. Despite the fact the game was on schedule to release at the previously posted date of November 20, 2015, due to an "unprecedented discovery" during development that the two-screen experience could be improved, and further polish the game overall, Miyamoto reluctantly decided to delay the game's release, promising a not-so-long-off window of the first quarter of 2016 as a new release schedule, keeping in line with the promise that the game will still be technically released before the upcoming [[zeldawiki:Zelda Wii U|''The Legend of Zelda'' game for Wii U]]. This is a reflection of a quote Miyamoto said in 2012, "A delayed game is eventually good, but a rushed game is forever bad."
* <b>March 25, 2011</b> - The [[Nintendo 3DS]] has been officially launched in Europe today. Nintendo's newest handheld system  will also see its official North American release in the day after  tomorrow. The system's only-announced Star Fox game - ''[[Star Fox 64  3D]]'' - has yet to have a determined release date anywhere. There has been hints, however, that some Star Fox-based components (such as [[Fox  McCloud|Fox's]] ears and headset) can be used on 3DS Mii characters, and can be obtained via StreetPass Mii Plaza.
* '''September 15, 2015''' - Yesterday, Nintendo Co., Ltd. (NCL) has officially announced the name of the company's new president - [[wikipedia:Tatsumi Kimishima|Tatsumi Kimishima]] - taking on the title effectively starting September 16, 2015. Previously acting presidents [[Shigeru Miyamoto]] and [[wikipedia:Genyo Takeda|Genyo Takeda]] have been formally declared taking on brand new roles in the company as "Creative Fellow" and "Technology Fellow," respectively. Several other managerial and structural changes will also take affect, such as the merging of development teams Nintendo Entertainment Analysis & Development (EAD) and Nintendo Software Planning & Development (SPD) to become Nintendo Entertainment Planning & Development (EPD). Nintendo EAD was responsible for notable titles such as development of ''[[Star Fox 64]]'' and co-development of ''[[Star Fox Zero]]''. Kimishima, aged 65, who was formerly president of [[bulbapedia:The Pokémon Company|The Pokémon Company]] (2000-2002) and Nintendo of America (2002-2006) before becoming Managing Director of NCL in 2013, succeeds the late [[wikipedia:Satoru Iwata|Satoru Iwata]] as the company president.

* '''July 12, 2015''' - Nintendo announces today the tragic passing of the company president and CEO (in Japan and North America), [[wikipedia:Satoru Iwata|Satoru Iwata]], due to a bile duct growth. Iwata is well-known to have contributed so much to Nintendo throughout his career, even long before he became president in 2002. Iwata worked alongside his colleague, Star Fox creator [[Shigeru Miyamoto]], on many of his projects, and served as executive producer for many games, including every Star Fox game released since ''[[Star Fox: Assault]]''. Iwata was only 55 years old. Until a new company president is announced, Shigeru Miyamoto, alongside [[wikipedia:Genyo Takeda|Genyo Takeda]], will take over Iwata's presidential duties in the interim.

According to the chart, it has been confirmed that the 2006 Nintendo DS title ''[[Star Fox Command]]'' is going to be available as a Virtual Console title via the Nintendo eShop on June 25, 2015.

Stay tuned for any info regarding the title's release elsewhere.
* '''June 16, 2015''' - During the Nintendo Digital Event @ E3 2015, ''[[Star Fox Zero]]'' has been announced, followed with a demonstration of a couple levels played by the presenters during the Nintendo Treehouse Live presentation, alongside with series creator [[Shigeru Miyamoto]]. It has been confirmed that PlatinumGames are co-developing the title, alongside ''Bayonetta 2'' director Yusuke Hashimoto. The game is a neither a sequel, prequel, nor a remake, but rather a re-imagining of the early games in the series. The game features some ''[[Star Fox 2]]'' elements like the Arwing transforming into a mech-like vehicle, and a new helipad vehicle called the [[Gyrowing]].
* '''November 07, 2014''' - On the November 5, 2014 Nintendo Direct, it was revealed that the Fox (and possibly Falco) amiibo figurines will be compatible with various games outside of ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'', which could include ''Hyrule Warriors'' and ''Mario Kart 8''. In the case of the latter, using a Fox amiibo in that game will allow the playable Mii character to don a Fox McCloud-based suit.
* '''September 05, 2014''' - Yesterday's Nintendo Direct for the Wii U game ''[[wikipedia:Bayonetta 2|Bayonetta 2]]'' revealed the titular character Bayonetta will have the option to don a Nintendo Crossover Costume called "Star Mercenary", which is directly based on [[Fox McCloud]]. It addition, Bayonetta's guns will be fashioned after [[Arwing|Arwings]], and shoot lasers instead of bullets using the signature target-lock reticule. Whilst the Wii U port of the first ''[[wikipedia:Bayonetta|Bayonetta]]'' game will include Crossover Costumes, the "Star Mercenary" is exclusive to the sequel. The game launches in North America and Europe on October 24, 2014. In other news, Nintendo confirms its first wave of 12 [[wikipedia:Amiibo|amiibo]] figurines will include Smash fighter [[smashwiki:Fox (SSB4)|Fox McCloud]], and although they did not confirm a release date, the figurines are now available for pre-order at various physical and online retailers. Highly recommended to pre-order the Fox McCloud amiibo figurine from [http://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Fox-amiibo-Wii-U/dp/B00N4ABODK Amazon] or [http://www.amazon.co.uk/Nintendo-amiibo-Super-Smash-Bros/dp/B00N8PBS0A Amazon UK].
* '''June 10, 2014''' - Prior to the debut of Nintendo's Digital Event at E3 2014, Shigeru Miyamoto has [http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2014/06/e3_2014_shigeru_miyamoto_confirms_star_fox_for_wii_u confirmed a new Star Fox game in development for Wii U], based on an interview with ''TIME'' magazine. The game in question was not officially announced at E3 itself though, although some mentions of it occurred during the live Nintendo Treehouse streaming event. We shall watch closely and have more info on this as it develops.
* '''June 03, 2014''' - Nintendo has been gradually rolling out the new Update 2.0 for their Nintendo 3DS downloadable free-to-play title ''Steel Diver: Sub Wars''. On Nintendo UK's Twitter page, in commemoration of the release, [https://twitter.com/NintendoUK/statuses/473758537349607425 they announced] that anyone who owns or purchases the Premium Version of ''Steel Diver: Sub Wars'' prior to June 19, 2014 will receive the new downloadable submarine - [[Star Fox (team)|Star Fox]]'s own [[Blue Marine]] - for free! This also confirms the Blue Marine as part of the roster of DLC submarines for ''Steel Diver: Sub Wars''.  This is the second Star Fox reference made for the title after [[Peppy Hare]]'s cameo appearance when the Premium Version of the game is to be purchased.
* '''December 16, 2013''' - Nintendo has rolled out a [https://miiverse.nintendo.net/titles/14866558073098764959/14866558073098764971 Miiverse community] for fans of ''[[Star Fox 64 3D]]''.  This can be accessed using the Wii U, Nintendo 3DS, or an internet browser, but a Nintendo Network ID account is required to sign in (which, at this time, can only be created on a Nintendo 3DS or Wii U).
* '''March 15, 2013''' - In [http://nintychronicle.wordpress.com/2013/03/12/nc-interview-with-two-tribes-gaming/ an interview with Nintendo Chronicle], Collin van Ginkel, co-founder of indie studio [http://twotribes.com/ Two Tribes], notable for its ''Toki Tori'' series, has claimed that they "could make a damn fine Star Fox game for Wii U. Yes, a classic Star Fox game would be awesome to work on." Two Tribes marks as the third developer, after [http://retrostudios.com/ Retro Studios] and [http://platinumgames.com/ Platinum Games], that is willingly volunteering to develop a new game based on the Star Fox IP license. It still a wonder why Nintendo, owner and publisher of said license, has not taken up any of the developers' offers as of yet.
* '''December 26, 2012''' - Rising, UK-based Nintendo gaming media outlet [http://www.nintendolife.com/ Nintendo Life] recently conducted an exclusive interview with Phil Tossell, a former Rare employee known to be the lead software engineer for ''[[Star Fox Adventures]]''. Whilst the interview is not a break-through premise about how a game like ''Star Fox Adventures'' ended up with so many holes in it, Tossell shared a lot of his own perspectives and memories surrounding the game's internal development period, from beginning to launch. Here's [http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2012/12/feature_the_making_of_star_fox_adventures a direct link] to that article in question if interested. By the way, it was [http://www.polygon.com/2012/12/12/3757884/nintendo-land-the-postmortem-interview recently revealed] that one of the attractions in the Wii U launch game ''Nintendo Land'' - "[[metroidwiki:Nintendo Land#Metroid Blast|Metroid Blast]]" to be precise - was originally themed after the Star Fox series during development before it was later dropped in favor of the Metroid series because it "works well" with the latter. Consider it fortunate that Namco Bandai were more considerate when they included a [[Fox McCloud]]-based costume as a bonus for their fighters in their own launch title ''Tekken Tag Tournament 2: Wii U Edition''. Before I also forget, in case you are not already aware, ''[[Star Fox 64 3D]]'' has since been re-released as a Nintendo eShop downloadable, digital game since November 2012 in all regions.
* '''July 10, 2012''' - UK-based video game retailer [http://www.game.co.uk/ GAME] recently used their small press prowess to have a Q&A with the one and only [[Dylan Cuthbert]], original lead designer for [[Star Fox (game)|''Star Fox'']] and ''[[Star Fox 2]]'', and founder of Q-Games. In this Q&A, Cuthbert reveals a few notable points about his career, his relationship with Nintendo and in particular with [[Shigeru Miyamoto]], and his work on Star Fox. In fact, whilst not giving any hints about the type of gameplay we could anticipate with a possible Wii U Star Fox game, citing that he prefers what Shigeru Miyamoto would decide to do with that part, '''Cuthbert expressed his desire to work on another Star Fox game in the future, and "expand it further."''' Whilst the Q&A does not reveal any promises, it it quite an interesting read when it comes to Cuthbert's experience in the industry. GAME posted the entire Q&A interview [https://www.facebook.com/notes/game/game-mailbag-q-games-dylan-cuthbert-answers-your-questions/10151094789971000 on their official Facebook page].
* '''July 7, 2012''' - Whilst we did not get any hints of a new Star Fox game whatsoever at E3 2012, which was frankly widely considered by many media outlets as one of the worst received E3 events overall to begin with, major pop culture and entertainment press outlet [http://www.ign.com/ IGN] recently had an exclusive, short interview with the one and only [[Shigeru Miyamoto]], speaking about seeing some familiar franchises for the upcoming Wii U console. Whilst Miyamoto did initially emphasize about the Wii U's unique GamePad controller having potential for a new [[metroidwiki:Main Page|Metroid]] game, he ended up saying that '''he would "personally" prefer to see a new Star Fox game for the Wii U'''. While this is not exactly an official announcement for anything relative, however quotes like this from one of the most notable executives at Nintendo would deem as valid hints towards expecting something at some point in the future.
* '''May 5, 2012''' -  '''Rumor:''' This bit of information has been circulating the internet for about a year now, but apparently a new source has re-ignited this old rumor. Gaming blog [http://techtroid.co.uk/ Techtroid] had claimed they were tipped off that Nintendo's American first-party developer - [http://retrostudios.com/ Retro Studios] - are prepped to reveal an upcoming Star Fox game for the Wii U at this year's E3. Retro Studios are the highly acclaimed developers behind the [[metroidwiki:Metroid Prime (series)|Metroid Prime trilogy]] and the game [[mariowiki:Donkey Kong Country Returns|''Donkey Kong Country Returns'']]. It has long been confirmed that they had been working on a "secret game" for the Wii U, but no one really considered the likelihood of it being a brand new Star Fox title. Like all rumors, and as much as we love to hope, it should be taken with a pinch of salt. Interestingly, a few days before Nintendo's initial presentation at E3 2010, there were rumors that Retro Studios were working on a new Donkey Kong title. Initially, such a rumor was not received with enthusiasm as people believed it was too far-fetched considering numerous factors, but during E3 Nintendo does indeed unveil ''Donkey Kong Country Returns'', courtesy of Retro Studios. Therefore, a rumor it may still be, we do not recommend dissing the idea of a Star Fox Wii U title from Retro Studios just yet. [http://techtroid.co.uk/starfox-wii-u-at-e3-2012-10079 ''Source'']<br />Nintendo had recently confirmed that their initial presentation during E3 2012 will debut on June 5, starting at 9am Pacific Daylight Time (local time). Nintendo confirms they will unveil first party titles such as [[pikipedia:Pikmin 3|''Pikmin 3'']] and [http://kotaku.com/5902458/nintendos-bringing-new-wii-u-pikmin-and-mario-to-e3 a new Super Mario Bros. game for the Wii U]. Nintendo also confirms they may ''not'' reveal the release date and price for the Wii U at E3, but rather at a later date.
* '''November 18, 2011''' - 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.
* '''October 7, 2011''' - 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.
* '''September 21, 2011''' - ''[[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.
* '''September 15, 2011''' - 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!
* '''September 13, 2011''' - 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.
* '''September 9, 2011''' - 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!'''
* '''August 26, 2011''' - 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].
* '''August 24, 2011''' - The annual  [http://prime.paxsite.com/ Penny Arcade Expo] (PAX) is returning to  Seattle again this week, and Nintendo will be attending. Nintendo will  be displaying a number of their most anticipated upcoming titles,  including ''[[Star Fox 64 3D]]'', which is not surprising since the game  was featured during the Comic-Con event last month. However, in case  you are attending PAX, just know that on August 27 there will be a  ''Star Fox 64 3D'' tournament between 7pm and 10pm, and Nintendo will be  having daily giveaways too. So, if you are attending PAX at that date,  have fun! In unrelated news, there had been rumors that Nintendo might  announce a revamped Nintendo 3DS design that is to be released in 2012.  Gaming rumors tend to turn out true, but keep in mind it is always a  good idea never to take any rumor seriously until the information had  been officially confirmed.
* '''August 17, 2011''' - Nintendo of America  is currently holding a ''[[Star Fox 64 3D]]'' promotional sweepstakes in  conjunction with [http://aircombatusa.com/ Air Combat USA]. The winner  gets to experience one of Air Combat USA's flights, which simulates the  movements fighter pilots as in combat. This sweepstakes is only open to  residents in the U.S. and Canada, however. Check it out  [http://apps.facebook.com/flylikefox/ here] if interested!

Take a look at them, as they make  great references for fanart or otherwise.
*  '''August 10, 2011''' - Not exactly related news, but since  the situation is very similar to that that happened in Japan, I would  personally say this is a notable mention. Nintendo of America recently  confirmed that they are going to release the third official color of the  [[Nintendo 3DS]] - Flame Red - in North America. Just like in Japan,  the new color will coincide with the release of ''[[Star Fox 64 3D]]'',  meaning it will arrive on September 9, 2011. There is still no word  whether the new color will be released in other regions as well. The new  color will be the same price as the other colors, which will be 169.99  USD after Nintendo's critically notorious, official price-cut that will  be established in two days from this date. For those of you who already  own a Nintendo 3DS, are you eligible in the  [http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2011/07/faq_nintendo_ambassador_program_and_free_eshop_games  Ambassador's program] yet?
* '''July 21, 2011''' - 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]].
* '''July 20, 2011''' - 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.

We do not know yet if ''ARMS'' will have any sequels and/or related new entries in the future, but it is amazing that a brand new IP from Nintendo could garner such a grand following and online community in a very short amount of time - enough to launch an independent wiki site about a sole game, at least. Due to the overwhelming success of the first game, it would not be surprising if Nintendo are planning to release more entries in their successful new IP after ''ARMS''. This sounds familiar for some reason. By the way, Nintendo's last major new IP, ''Splatoon'', is a getting [[splatoonwiki:Splatoon 2|a sequel]] next month.

Although Tetris is considered a third-party franchise owned by [[wikipedia:The Tetris Company|The Tetris Company]], the franchise is known to have a history of being worked on by several licensed entities, and Nintendo happens to be one of them.

Shrouded in secret from the public eye until today, its primary purpose is to serve as a meta for all of NIWA's members. Although it does include general articles about Nintendo's games, NintendoWiki will also focus on the hardware, in addition to Nintendo being a company, with all its assets and notable people, as well as its history since its foundation in 1889, which means NintendoWiki will have articles about Nintendo products and services from even before they eventually became a video game company.
