Star Fox 64 is considered by fans to be a classic for the Nintendo 64, mainly thanks to engaging gameplay, unforgettable cutscenes and the innovation of rumble on a console. Years later, the title is being brought back to present us another innovation: 3D on a handheld. Star Fox 64 3D is a remake of the N64 title, featuring better graphics and 3D functionality. Gameplay remains the same, featuring the same levels as in the N64 title. In terms of controls, you use the 3DS's slide pad to move the Arwing around and you use your weapons with the press of a button. Doing a barrel roll requires pressing the L and R buttons. The 3DS touch screen features a layout of the buttons, but it was hinted at Nintendo's Developer Roundtable that it would have communication features. Also at the roundtable, it was teased that there might be some changes to the game for the remake.

Star Fox 64 3D has no release date in any region.
