StarFox 3DS Denied Online Play

Earlier this week Nintendo held a retailer briefing, which included details on the 3DS port of the much loved N64 classic, StarFox 64.

Nintendo's popular space shooter is once again taking off, discovering a familiar world but in a whole new level of detail. The prospect of competing in Arwing scraps with friends from afar and strangers will have to be left in your wishlist - Despite refined animation, sound and optional control, the 3DS version will not be able to head online in multiplayer.

They can send a fox willingly into the nether-regions of time and space but not through the wired planet earth!

There will be the return of the four player Battle mode from the N64 version, with the benefits of your own screen to keep the space-aged dogfights as climatic and exciting as possible! Those without a copy of the game can play via Download play also, with player faces displayed as cheeky icons.
