The various Tweets mention the following (as translated by Andriasang):

  • The game has 3DS mode, N64 mode and Battle mode
  • In 3DS mode, you use the gyro sensor to control your shiop
  • Battle mode supports four players
  • Battle mode will support download play
  • The game will not have online play via Wi-Fi Connection
  • During combat, your face is shown as an icon, allowing for easy identification of who's who.

Star Fox 64 3D will be releasing on July 14, and Tsytaya has started taking pre-orders as of today.

The event also had a playable Zelda demo. Tales of Abyss was also shown, albeit only in non-interactive form.
