Star Fox 64 3D[4] is a 3D rail shooter video game co-developed by Nintendo EAD and Q-Games and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo 3DS. It is a remake of the 1997 video game Star Fox 64 for the Nintendo 64. It was released on July 14, 2011 in Japan, followed by other markets in September.

Although the original Nintendo 64 version was called Lylat Wars in Europe and Australia, as well as in its Virtual Console re-releases, the 3DS remake adopts the Star Fox 64 moniker in all regions. In 2012, Nintendo re-released this game, along with several other earlier 3DS titles, as a digital download via the Nintendo eShop. The downloadable version was released in PAL regions on October 4,[5] October 18 in North America,[6] and November 1 in Japan.[7] The game received positive reviews from critics who praised the gameplay, updated graphics and visuals and faithfulness to the original, though it was criticized for its lack of online multiplayer and limited amount of new content.
