If you've been wondering how you're going to control an Arwing with the stylus in the upcomi🌠ng DS title, Star Fox Command, this Japanese TV advert - which you can see by clicking the movies tab above - should clear a few things up for you.

Fox McCloud's debut on the Nintendoജ handheld is a flight-based combat game set in free-flying 3D arenas. It uses the DS touch screen to partly control the ships of McCloud and his interstellar band of mammal chums as they battle invaders ⛎to protect the Lylat system.

To boost forward players must double tap the top part of the screen, a double tap of the bottom part of the screen applies airbrakes and barrel rolls are executed by scribbling left and right. Firing is controlle𒆙d by the d-pad and the shoulde𝔉r button.

It's a similar combination of d-pad and touch-screen interface that was used in Metroid Prime: Hunters. It may take some getting u🌳sed to, but Star Fox Command looks like it will reward gamers with some truly explosive action when it is released in O꧃ctober.
