Star Fox Command launches on the Nintendo DS across Europe in January

Fire up those engines as Fox McCloud and his elite team soar onto the Nintendo DS in Star Fox Command, the latest adventure in Nintendo's hit series. Draw up your battle plans and prepare for the dogfight of your life when Star Fox Command launches across Europe on 26th January 2007.

Fox McCloud is back to battle a new evil that has emerged from the toxic oceans of the planet Venom. Join Fox in his advanced Arwing fighter as you defend the Lylat system from a massive invasion, with just a few wingmen for support. This action-packed game will have you battling an armada of hostile ships, both in the depths of space and high over enemy skies, and will test your strategic skills as you plan the perfect attack.

Players use the Nintendo DS's touch screen to maneuver their ship during daring dog fights. While flying, the screen not only acts as a radar - showing the locations of allies, enemies and items “ but is also used to steer your Arwing and drop bombs using strokes of the stylus. Players use the screen to speed up and slow down their ship by tapping the top or bottom of it. Another vital combat move performed by rubbing the touch screen is a nifty barrel roll, perfect for evading incoming fire during real-time combat.

The movement of your ship is not the only role that the touch screen plays in Star Fox Command. Players can draw up their battle plans and put their strategy skills to the ultimate test by using this screen. As commander, use the screen to draw the routes your fighter should take, then battle any enemies you encounter as you take over bases and strategically advance across the map. A master tactician will plan the best flight paths not only for themselves but also for up to four wingmen, making sure they plot the best course to intercept an enemy on the quick.

Featuring an extensive storyline, the single player mode includes over 30 levels to complete with a variety of different possible endings to achieve. After certain stages are completed, players will be given a choice about what to do next, influencing how the story ends. The Star Fox Command story mode also features over ten additional characters and ships to unlock to build your wingman support.

Featuring great multiplayer modes, Star Fox Command offers you the chance to find out who rules the skies by participating in dogfights with up to four friends via the Nintendo DS's wireless connection. Fancy taking on the world? With Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection you can! Battle it out against up to three other people from around the world and show off your supreme flying ability.

Star Fox Command flies into action next year across Europe on 26th January 2007 for the estimated retail price of around $30.
