Nintendo of Australia have finally landed a release date for Star Fox 64 3D on Nintendo 3DS, which many of you will more likely know as Lylat Wars - the name it was released under for Nintendo 64 here in Australia (and to this day we're really not sure why) all those years ago in October 1997 (I remember it like it was 1997).

A complete graphical update brings a Nintendo classic into the era of portable 3D fun. The game makes effective use of the Nintendo 3DS system’s dual screens: The top screen features 3D aerial combat, while the bottom screen displays characters and dialogue.

A new multiplayer option lets up to four players engage in fierce aerial combat via a local wireless connection (using four systems and one game card via DS Download Play). The multiplayer mode also includes new power-ups and special weapons. Players can use the Nintendo 3DS system’s inner camera to display a live video feed of competitors' faces as they battle, bringing a new level of fun and personalisation to the multiplayer experience.

So you'll be able to climb in the cockpit of Fox's Arwing this September 15 at an SRP of AU$69.95 ($99.00 in NZ).
