If you had a Nintendo 64 back in the day and took time out from leaping on goombas and playing your ocarina, then you certainly must have played Star Fox 64.

Miyamoto and Cuthbert taught each other Japanese and English, respectively

Posted on July 5, 2011 by Mike Gutierrez

When Dylan Cuthbert first went to Japan to show off a 3D engine for the Game Boy, he was 18 and didn’t speak a word of Japanese. When he came back to work for Nintendo, he worked on his grasp of the language with none other than Miyamoto himself. The father of PixelJunk and the father of Mario engaged in a language exchange while developing Star Fox for the SNES.

This interesting fact came up in the latest “Iwata Asks,” celebrating the Star Fox series and the upcoming Star Fox 64 3D, of which Cuthbert is directing. The interview also touches on the unreleased Star Fox 2, and should be available soon with the other English translations in the 3DS developers section.

Nintendo @ E3 11: Super Mario 3D, Star Fox 64 3D detailed

Posted on June 7, 2011 by John Scalzo

More from Reggie Fils-Aime: Star Fox 64 3D is coming in September and will include a four-player battle mode where the 3DS’ camera records your facial expression after a kill. Controlling your Arwing by moving the 3DS as a flight yoke was also confirmed.

Meanwhile, Super Mario 3D was described as “the first 3D Mario game designed for a handheld” and it sees the return of the Tanooki Suit as well as looking a lot like the direct sequel to Super Mario 64 we always wanted. The game will also include side-scrolling and overhead sections. Neat!

Super Mario 3D will be released before the end of 2011.

Star Fox 64 3D gets Arrange Mode; free 3D Excitebike download; Mario Kart 3DS in 2011

Posted on April 26, 2011 by John Scalzo

Nintendo President Satoru Iwata revealed a little bit more about the upcoming 3DS remake Star Fox 64 3D during the publisher’s quarterly financial briefing.

According to Iwata, Star Fox 64 3D will include a new Arrange Mode to give gamers a new take on a classic game: “[W]e are planning to release […] a newly-arranged version of Star Fox 64, the most well-known game of all the 3D shooting games in the time of Nintendo 64.” He also revealed that the game will include motion controls for piloting an Arwing, though how this’ll square with the 3D display (which really needs to be steady) remains to be seen.

The President also revealed that Nintendo will have a free gift for gamers when the 3DS eShop opens in May, a downloadable “3D Classics” version of Excitebike.

Finally, Iwata reconfirmed that Mario Kart 3DS will be released in 2011. Presumably, we’ll learn more at E3.
