News: The North American release date can't be very far behind.
Along with familiar graphics and music, Nintendo of Japan updated the Star Fox 64 3D product page with something else of interest: the release date for the upcoming game. That's right, Fox McCloud and the gang are coming to the newly released handheld on July 14... in Japan.
North American gamers will have wait a little while longer than that, but it shouldn't be long before we see this N64 remake too. A month after the 3DS made its debut in Japan, the hardware came to these shores, so we're hoping for the same short lag time.
The good news is that the release of Star Fox 3D will make the system oh-so desirable following the ho-hum launch titles. For many, this will be the first must-have post-launch game. Its release also means Nintendo is one game closer to releasing the game we're all looking forward to: Mario Kart 3DS.
