Star Fox Command shaken, not stirred

Star Fox Command, the Nintendo DS incarnation of the popular 3D space shooter, is due out in Japan in less than a month. In anticipation of release day, Famitsu.com has revealed a few more details about the game.

For instance, DS rumble pack owners will be able to shake up their in-flight experience with force feedback. Regarding length, the game will feature more than 30 stages set in a number of scenic areas, such as deserts, space, oceans, and flaming caves. Famitsu also confirmed that a number of pilots from the previous Star Fox games, each with their own quirks, will be back for the DS version.

Aspiring Arwing pilots can also get their multiplayer fix through wireless ad hoc games or play over Wi-Fi. Star Fox Command is set to launch in Japan on August 3 and will retail for 4,800 yen (about $41.50).
