E3 2004: Star Fox Screens!

What's this? FOX IS GETTING A NEW GAME TOO?! Fan. Tas. Tic. Again, screens inside...
Starfox (That's the official title of this game at the moment!) is set to be a mix between the gameplay of Starfox64 and the graphical style of Starfox Adventures, much like the 64 incarnation Fox and his team will be taking to the skies, nay, stars, as well as participating in on-foot/landmaster misions. Why? well.. "after a new threat starts to spread across the galaxy, so the Lylatt crew are sent to eradicate this growing menace"!
Set several years after the end of the Dinosaur Planet chapter in their lives, the Star Fox Armada are scheduled to be fully playable in the US come the 29th of November, nearly 2 years to the day that Adventures came out.
Oh, how could I forget the multiplayer options? Not only will there be a return of the multiplayer battles from Lylatt Wars but there will now be co-operative missions for you and a pal to participate in. Either the players play with a splitscreen (as the usual co-op modes go) or, interestingly, one player becomes a "Wingman", where one player hangs around on the wing of the other players Arwing (or even the landmaster tank!) and blasts enemies while the pilot controls the vehicle. Reminds me of jet Force Gemini
More info as it breaks!
