Star Fox DS recently got renamed to Star Fox Command and will be hitting North American stores this August 28th.
Prepare for a whole lot of barrel rolls later this summer, as the game will support a massive 1-8 players via local wireless or DS Download Play, and 1-4 players over Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection.











Is it just me, or do some of the screenshots for this game look like the unreleased Starfox 2 prototype for the SNES? The map screen, arenas… etc. Actually that would be kind of cool… with the transformable vehicles and whatnot.

@ Joey:
You’re actually correct. They decided to use the whole concept of the transforming arwings in Command as they did in starfox 2, it’s just so exciting.

I’m not understanding this whole 1-4 player junk that every game seems to be having. Does the Nintendo Wi-fi connection ONLY support that many or is it simply the hardware that isn’t able to keep up? PC games online have been over 4 players for a LONG time now… Ugh…

SPOILER: Fox is an owl in the next game.

microtic, PC’s that play online games have been a lot faster than the DS for a LONG time now….
raindog - 05.30.06 11:14 pm
instead of dissin the online for starfox why dont you just play it of course pc is faster but the ds multiplayer is still fun get used to the 4 cuz it works for me

I assumed it was a wireless bitrate issue that limited online to 4 players. We’ll see with the Wii.
I’m just glad all the screenshots seem to suggest this is a flight simulator, not a 3rd person shooter or RPG.

oops.. bitrate is teh wrong word. Ya’ll know what I’m saying
SonicRift - 05.30.06 11:23 pm
Star Fox never had a RPG.
Star Fox Adventures was just that, an Adventure/action game.
But yeah, I am glad to see the game back to its original roots.
Online will be fun as hell.

I think the issue is the collective latency of everyone in the game…. the more players, the greater chance of slowdown or disconnects (which seem to manifest themselves as “game over for everyone” more often than not on WFC….)
