I've already got a big grin on my face for Nintendo bringing back Pilotwings for 3DS owners. But it just got a little wider after I saw another franchise that's heading to the stereoscopic 3D system: StarFox 64. That's right, the Nintendo 64 game with anthropomorphic animals is being revived for a fresh experience in full 3D.

The demo that's at the Electronic Entertainment Expo is a single level of action that's based on the opening mission in the Nintendo 64 game. But this isn't a mere port or emulation: the textures have been given a definite upgrade with sharper detail and higher resolution. And your on-screen reticule is in multiple levels so you can gauge depth as you blast away at the enemies that wander on-screen

It's very early – there's no sound and your teammates don't pop up to ask for your assistance. But when you get to the end of the level the game goes into All Range Mode so you can fly in a full 360 fashion. The analog slider pad does a great job giving the tight control to handheld gamers.

I truly hope this game gets fleshed out for a full release. Judging by the list of games issued by Nintendo, that's what we're going to get. And I can't wait

Do you not think Nintendo are taking the piss these days with all the remakes? I know they have always done that but like new games consist of Zelda, Donky Kong, Metroid, Pilotwings, Starfox, Goldeneye which by the way looks really bad on the Wii.

I do have a soft spot for Mario and i hear the new Galaxy game is supposed to be great but ya can't just rely on an old franchise forever. Sales of the Wii will be affected now that Kinect and Sony Move are around, the 3DS looks interesting but again why would you bother buying a 3DS when you could prob have an XBOX for not much more, sure its a handheld but is it really.. looked massive at E3.

Don't know about you guys, but I am looking forward to Goldeneye, that game is Legend. Just finished downloading all the press conferences - missed them earlier.
