HOLY CRAP

::sends Slippy into the middle of enemy formations alone every game::

And ONLINE? Man this is shaping up to be fucking fantastic.

DAMN, that video makes me want it now, although I think it could use a tad more enemies to shoot at. The online thing should be crazy fun. I think it's an awesome idea to being the game back to its roots. The very first game on the SNES was the best game in the series, and if DS is anything like that, then I'm in Seventh Heaven. Here's hoping for some remixes of classic SF themes, and none of that SF64 crap.

I still think Fox looks horrid in SF DS though :/ I want those animatronics back!

I'll definitely be getting this game when it comes out. It looks too freaking sweet to pass up, especially with all the multiplayer it will have.

Man, I totally pooped in my pants after seeing that video. And it was

HOLY CRAP

YES. YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES MOTHER FUCKING YES.

Star Fox 64 was my FIRST CONSOLE VIDEO GAME EVER. Star Fox on the original, is, despite its primitive graphics, one of the most aesthetically pleasing games released on the SNES in my opinion. I play Star Fox regularly, and I have the beta rom of Star Fox 2.

I am SO FUCKING PSYCHED.

The Nintendo DS just went from "I think I should get this," to "HOLY FUCKING CRAP I MUST HAVE IT <3 <3 <3"

That looks awesome. Those Barrel Rolls look nice. From the screenshots it looks like they may've removed a few planets, but who cares. This game looks awesome. Where are you Star Wolf Team?

Wow, it actually looks really good (maybe except for the shooting animations). Its shaping up to be another hit DS title. We're finally starting to see these handheld games that take advantage of the DS's touch screen for shooters.

I would've loved to hear some voice-over audio. Too premature?

EDIT: Another thing, what's with the whole Time Limit? I understand if it's in a situation like Katina on Starfox 64, but it looks like the Time Limit is consistent with every level.

From seeing the video, I don't see any on-rails action. I honestly hope the game isn't only all-range, seeing as I never cared for those stages in the original much.

If it is, I will be disappointed.

That just further proves the lack of rail levels if true . I hope they're nowhere near the finished product.

I hope so too. It wouldn't be Starfox if there weren't a few corridor-type levels.

This had better be one kickass game. It has to make up for Adventures and Armada.

When I saw this on the conference stream, I was like yes! I need this game. Now just to wait till it arrives out here.

Multiplayer online will be GLORIOUS.

Wow, it looks very classic. Seems they will recycle quite a bit of the old N64 material, not that I mind
Online multiplayer for teh win! Some of the multiplayer modes look quite vague though but time will tell. Is it playable on E3?

Hey, this came out of no where!
Much of the graphics appear unfinished, at least the game is returning to original style *sort of.* Well this is another DS game to tack onto my wish list.

You mean Adventures and Assault.

Anyway, as long as the game goes back to SF and SF64 style, I wouldn't care whether it's on-rails or all-range. I just want my old Star Fox back :(

The DS went from a 'there's not many games that interest me on this system' to 'all the awesome games are coming to this system!' This has never happened to me before.

Dingleberries! This is some hot shit. Old StarFox action+WiFi=Nintendo's dominion over handhelds is absolute (sorry, Sony).

SWEET MOTHER MERCY! I want this so bad as well .

Armada wouldn't be a bad name for this version... But then again, Nintendo just HAS to come up with a name that has gives the acronym for DS... Just like Deadly Silence, Dual Strike, Dust Strikers... Anything else?

I'll probably watch that movie when I have some time... At the moment, I don't! It will probably be as orgasmic as everyone is saying. I have my hopes.
