Star Fox 64 3D (スターフォックス64 3D Sutā Fokkusu Rokujūyon Surīdī?) is a video game for the Nintendo 3DS and is a remake of Star Fox 64. It was co-developed between Nintendo EAD and Q-Games, and was published by Nintendo. It was released on July 14, 2011 in Japan, September 9, 2011 in Europe and North America, and on September 15, 2011 in Australia.
Although the original Nintendo 64 version was called Lylat Wars in Europe and Australia, as well as its 2007 Virtual Console re-release, the 3DS remake uses the Star Fox 64 title in all regions.
In 2012, Nintendo re-released this game, along with several other earlier 3DS titles, as a digital download via the Nintendo eShop. The downloadable version was released in the PAL region on October 4, 2012, October 18, 2012 in North America, and November 1, 2012 in Japan.
With a few exceptions, the gameplay in Star Fox 64 3D is very similar to that of the original version. The player controls Fox's Arwing fighter using the circle pad to steer, the shoulder buttons to bank left and right, and the four right-hand buttons to fire lasers and bombs, boost and brake. The D-Pad allows the player to perform somersaults and u-turns, which can also be performed with combinations of other controls, and to zoom in and out from the Arwing in "All-Range Mode". The player can also enable "Gyro Controls", using the 3DS' internal gyroscope sensor to control the Arwing. Character dialogue, messages and control information are displayed on the touch screen.
The single-player campaign features two modes: "64 Mode", which replicates the original game's objectives and difficulty, and "3DS Mode", in which difficulty and objectives have been tuned and balanced to account for the 3D perspective and gyro controls. A third "Expert" mode can be unlocked during gameplay, adding the difficulty of the original game's expert setting. Each mode separately tracks the player's scores and medals.
