Nintendo Life said:Online Play Not Showing Up on the Radar of Star Fox 64 3D

The only thing not taking to the skies are Wi-Fi signals
Those of you hoping to blast it out with friends on Star Fox 64 3D, can, but you'll all have to be in the same room to do so.
During the retailer meetings in Japan this week, people in attendance were treated to playable 3DS titles such as the aforementioned Star Fox game, and an attendee from the Tsutaya retailer in Shibuya has shared some details on the upcoming remake.
The game has three modes: the 3DS mode allows gamers to use gyro sensor controls; an N64 mode, presumably a mode that utilises button-based controls; and the Battle mode will support up to four players in local download play. Unfortunately, the game will not feature online multiplayer.
Players will be able to take a picture of their face and have it pop up as an icon during combat. This should make it easier to distinguish who is who in the heat of the action.
The game is scheduled for launch on 17th July in Japan.
Star Fox 64™ 3D invites players to take on the role of legendary Fox McCloud as they lead a fearless squadron of fighters in fierce aerial combat to battle the evil forces of Andross and save the galaxy from destruction. The rich 3D visuals provide a remarkable sense of depth, distance and position as players dodge meteors and blast enemy fighters out of the sky.
FEATURES:
A complete graphical update brings a Nintendo classic into the era of portable 3D fun. The game makes effective use of the Nintendo 3DS system's dual screens: The top screen features 3D aerial combat, while the bottom screen displays characters and dialogue.
There are two control methods for the player to experience. The Nintendo 64 Mode offers original controls, while the new Nintendo 3DS Mode uses the motion controls of the built-in Gyro Sensor of the Nintendo 3DS system.
Trusted wingmen Peppy, Slippy and Falco are along for the ride – if one of them is chased or captured by an enemy, players must act to protect them in order to keep their team strong.
Each mission takes players through a different planet of the Lylat system as they blast enemies, collect power-ups and fight powerful bosses on their way to the final battle.
A new multiplayer option lets up to four players engage in fierce aerial combat via a local wireless connection (using four systems and one game card via DS Download Play). The multiplayer mode also includes new power-ups and special weapons. Players can use the Nintendo 3DS system's inner camera to display a live video feed of their faces as they battle, bringing a new level of fun and personalization to the multiplayer experience.
