Prepare for re-mastered graphics, gyro sensor controls and a whole new dimension to multiplayer modes
14 years after Lylat Wars dashed into space to save the universe, get ready to live through the battle for the Lylat system once again as a re-worked offering for the Nintendo 3DS launches on 9th September. The game, which previously appeared on the Nintendo 64, now makes a return in Star Fox 64 3D.
With bold new 3D graphics, a faithfully restored script, fresh voiceovers, and a new multiplayer mode which uses the Nintendo 3DS camera to send you live video footage of your opponents reactions as you chase them around the skies, Star Fox 64 3D feels both comfortably familiar yet challengingly new.
Capcom Europe issued a tweet yesterday about Mega Man Legends 3, implying that the fans were to blame for the project’s cancellation. Understandably, the comment received a great deal of negative attention.
Capcom has today apologized for the remark and clarified their original comment.
Posted a few hours ago on Twitter:
“Apologies again. The original comment was in relation to the interaction in the Dev rooms NOT the fans who have been nothing but supportive”
I suppose you can say that this is the sequel to Picross DS! No details yet, but you can check out a few screenshots from the game below. Picross e is launching in Japan next week for 500 yen.
I might be more confused than ever now. I figured that Nintendo would deliver the typical “we don’t comment on rumors/speculation” line, but a representative has actually provided a statement that doesn’t rule out the possibility of downloadable GameCube games for Wii U.
Here’s the statement:
“To clarify the capabilities of the Wii U system: As correctly stated, Wii U will not play Nintendo GameCube discs. However, Nintendo has not made any announcements regarding downloadable content.”
I could see the Wii U having this functionality. It’s just a bit odd how all of this is unfolding. I’d like to have a concrete answer!
