Have you heard anything about this game recently?

I'm starting to loose hope on this one. I want it on the DS and I want the whole package with the book and everything... :(

With Star Fox 3DS around the corner, what do people think about Star Fox Command?

It looks good, is very cheap second hand, and it's Star Fox so it should be a no brainer. But some people say the controls and strategy aspect drag it down. Just wondered if anyone on here thinks it's worth picking up?

I thought Command was pretty decent but the controls could be a bit annoying at times.

It's worth a play if you can pick it for really cheap.

Thanks, yeah I'm tempted to pick it up but it is the controls that I'm dubious about.

I thought it was OK - but it is the only Star Fox I've ever played, so I can really compare.

There's a Star Trek game you can pick up for less than fiver which is fun in short bursts - just don't expect much variety

My local Boyes store were selling off all their ps3, 360, wii and DS stuff at 3.99 a pop...on the DS front I picked up sealed copies of COP, Oktoberfest and Inkheart.

There isn't one English copy of Okamiden on ebay at the time of writing.

However find-game have a lot of stores saying that it's usually dispatched within a month, does that actually mean that more copies will become available or is that just standard rubbish all websites claim?

I'd go with "standard rubbish". Capcom has been incredibly bad at distributing a few of their DS games in the UK as of late (Any of the later Megaman games were near impossible to find at retail for example) and I had a hunch the same thing would happen to Okamiden. Glad I got a brand new copy when I had the chance as I had a feeling it would be a pain to track down at retail sooner or later.

a sniff around any Game or Gamestation always leds me to believe that there are either 100s of copies of some games, and some you never ever see in the wild - even at release. I think 5 years from now DS could be a collectors favourite because of this
