Nintendo, it seems, is keen to help gamers deal with the post-Xmas blues in 2007, having sent over further word this morning on another cracking DS title scheduled for a January release in Europe.
Following the
Harvest Moon DS news from earlier this week, we now also have Star Fox Command to also look forward to in the dark depths of the bleak mid-winter.
From the release just in, “Fox McCloud is back to battle a new evil that has emerged from the toxic oceans of the planet Venom. Join Fox in his advanced Arwing fighter as you defend the Lylat system from a massive invasion, with just a few wingmen for support. This action-packed game will have you battling an armada of hostile ships, both in the depths of space and high over enemy skies, and will test your strategic skills as you plan the perfect attack.”
The game uses the DS’s touch screen, both for moving your ship, dropping bombs and performing derring-do barrel rolls during daring dog fights. You also use the stylus and touch-screen to draw up battle plans and put your strategy skills to the test.
In single player mode the game boasts over thirty levels to complete with a bunch of different possible endings, with ten additional characters and ships to unlock to build your wingman support.
Most excitingly, for Star Fox fans, is the chance to take part in dogfights with up to four friends via the Nintendo DS’s wireless connection.
SPOnG will bring you further Star Fox news and a full preview of the game as soon as we get our hands on it. In the meantime, check out SPOnG’s
