We're all excited to get stuck into the remake of Star Fox 64/Lylat Wars later this month, and June 25th can't come quickly enough! The game looks so amazing, and I can't remember the last time I was so excited for a remake apart from the newly announced Ocarina of Time remake!

During the Nintendo Direct today, Nintendo announced that a free demo with a tutorial and the first playable section of the game is arriving on the Nintendo e-Shop later today, giving us a sneak peek of what the gameplay is going to be like in person.

I know that as soon as I play this demo, I'm going to be anxiously counting down the days till the full title releases - I've already got my pre-order in, and I can't wait to take Fox and his team to victory all over again with those amazing graphics!

In the meantime, check out some more gameplay footage on the Nintendo Direct video while you wait for the demo to drop on the Nintendo e-Shop!
