E3 2006: First Star Fox DS shots and details

DS News | Very first screens of Fox's handheld debut.
Just a couple of hours after we initially reported on its unveiling, the first screens for Star Fox DS have trickled forth from Nintendo. They look jolly encouraging as well, with the touch-screen used to display maps and cut-scenes, and the top screen set aside for the action itself. There's also some rather lovely 3D landscapes and, even better still, there's no sign of Slippy ANYWHERE. Hoorah!

We even know a bit about what the title will entail. In the game, players get to hop into their Arwing fighter and fight through a branching storyline of missions, all rendered in 3D. Niftily, there's a more strategic slant to proceedings now, with players able to adopt a commander’s view of the mission and draw the routes they and their teammates will take, strategically advancing across the map and taking over bases as they go. There's an eight-player mode that can be played over a local wireless connection, and the chance to take on up to four players from around the world via the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. Whichever you opt for, here's hoping the it's a little more engaging than the N64's multiplayer managed to be.

We'll have a hands-on as soon as James and Lahiru find a spare two minutes in their day.

Looking pretty nice there, I knew this would happen sooner or later! I'll keep my eye on this.
