Nintendo Shows of Star Fox
New screens ahead of next week's US release.
Despite a dwindling market share, Nintendo still has one major ace up its family-friendly sleeve - namely, its stable of world-renowned characters.
One of the more neglected of them is Fox McCloud, cunning pilot and star of Nintendo's Star Fox franchise. But with the help of Namco, Nintendo is readying Fox for a brand-new adventure.
Star Fox Assault is a straight action game with third-person shooter and flying elements. The game has been in development for a while and has gone through a lot of retooling over the past few years. But the game is coming to completion now and is scheduled for release later this year.
Star Fox Assault is out for the GameCube in the US for Valentine's Day and will be in shops in Europe around Easter.
