Fans finally have a release date for the favorite space-fox.

Star Fox 64 3D will be released in the United States on September 11, and Europe on September 9, Nintendo has announced.
Japan's July 14 release date had already been announced.
Star Fox 64 3D is a new and updated version of the classic 1997 Nintendo 64 game for 3DS.
Fox has just slammed into the second tower! Do a barrel roll!
Too soon?
...Doesn't that just sound odd to say. Especially since Nintendo doesn't get the Square Mother Ship though the did get their Cash Cow.
Seriously, Square Enix has made almost as many Nintendo games as Nintendo this year.
Nintendo Japan runs things, NOA has been a puppet company since Arakawa and Lincoln left.
I'm not personally offended by the release date but I'm not beyond recognizing the insensitivity of releasing a game where, despite not being the point, it's possible to shoot down/crash into buildings on the 10 year anniversary of when terrorists circumvented all kinds of security and crashed planes into 2 of the largest buildings in one of the most densely-populated cities in the world instantly killing/injuring thousands of people. What sense does that make? Release just about any other game and it'd be fine. Release this very specific game knowing its content and you're bound to raise a few eyebrows.
Honestly if September 11 had never happened I still be going why September 11... Its just so very very long from the Japanese release date and this game is desperately needed in the post OoT gap.
I find little about Starfox that evokes any imagery that has anything in common with 9/11. When I see parts of Starfox, I basically think Star Wars or Independence Day (the movie.) I'm not sure why people are making the assertion that you can destroy buildings by flying into them in the game; I don't recall anything of that nature.Exactly. Plus, it isn't like Nintendo are using the date as a way to advertise the game in some way, so I don't understand the issue. Everything these days is potentially offensive.
If Nintendo really wanted to troll the U.S., they should release it on December 7th (though it's not a Sunday.) If they did that, it would be far more offensive, but it's far enough removed from the cultural awareness of most citizens that I doubt most would really noticed.
So what, should no one release games on this date? People are just too sensitive about these things. I'm not saying the event should be forgotten, but it isn't like everything needs to come to a halt on the day.
Aside from it being an unfortunate release date, it's also in freaking September. Is this currently Nintendo's next 3DS release? How about August? It's not like they're going to record new voices.
Wahjah? (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=wahjah)Huh, that's a new one on me. It's bizarre how there is no apparent origin for it.
