When Nintendo announced the 3DS console, a lot of the comments that started to appear were that it looked like a Nintendo 64 in terms of power. Nintendo was clearly listening, because some of the blockbuster games to hit the unit so far are Nintendo 64 ports and recently Japan received the latest one, StarFox 64 which was originally known as Lylat Wars in the European and Australian territories.

Interestingly, Nintendo has failed to return to the StarFox universe (other than StarFox Adventures on the Gamecube, which was more of a spinoff) since this game originally came out and so the return of Fox Mcloud is well overdue. We recently imported a copy of the game from Japan and went hands on to see how the game was shaping up for its US/European launch in September. The answer is, very well indeed!
