Nintendo: Star Fox Command - out Friday!

Andross is defeated and the Lylat System is finally at peace (Nintendo). Time for Fox McCloud to hang up his flying jacket and take a well-earned rest, right? Think again.

In Star Fox Command, out on Friday for Nintendo DS, the members of Star Fox are reunited for one more mission: defend the galaxy against a new threat from the oceans of planet Venom.

For the series' Nintendo DS debut, you need to be both ace pilot and military strategist. Use the Nintendo DS stylus and touch screen to plot your ships' flight paths; avoiding asteroid fields and intercepting air-to-air missiles to engage the enemy.

When you're all set; launch into action in thrilling 3D dogfights. Manoeuvre your ship with the touch screen; banking and swooping with simple swipes of the stylus, pull gravity defying loops, drag and drop bombs onto your foes... flying an Arwing has never been so hands-on!

Plus - take the battle online and engage with up to three players anywhere in the world via Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection or play offline with up to five friends using a local wireless connection.
