Topic: Kid Icarus: Uprising

Ha. Wish I could find those kind of people when i play !....except I did find one person not moving the other day....and yeah, I took advantage of it.
Also would be nice if I had anyone on my friends list (that consist of three people) to play with instead of random people I will never hear from again.

I usually play late at night. Somewhere around 11:00 est. I had a room of five Nintendo lifers on last night. If you're up that late and want to add me let me know. We almost had 6 but he joined after two people left! Would be nice to have a 6 group of lifers.

Yesterday was my first time online and it was crazy. Not until I got a weapon I could use well did my game pick up. Problem was even if I got better weapons it seemed I was only good with one!

I may try to jump in with you all. Sounds like I could maybe at least learn some tricks if not actually stand a chance at winning a little.

@Pixel: x_X
Well this is gonna be a pain, lol.

I'd agree, but Dragon Quest Rocket Slime 3D and Paper Mario are tough competition.

Give me your code and jump in if there is a spot open. Last night I noticed about 12 of my friends were playing this game. Sadly I have over 90 on my list and about a third have this game!

Their is a kill count on the bottom screen underneath the time. Just take note of that once the round is over.

Oh guys, just though I'd let Aussie/NZ gamers out there know that Kid Icarus: Uprising arrives today for us PAL gamers, plus don't forget about your long dormant Club nintendo account! There are now the Kid Icarus: Uprising AR cards available on our Club nintendo, 10 random cards for 200 stars, which I think is a better deal than what Europe or America is getting, despite getting 2 less cards, it actually works out better. I have just ordered 13 packs of AR cards with my Club nintendo account and I already plan on getting to 2 more from purchasing KI:U and doing a survey on club nintendo, which is basically the same as 'intend to buy' except that over here we have to get the game first, confusing eh? Yeah anyway 13 packs to me sounds a lot to me, I don't know how many cards you guys have ordered but by the time they arrive (which takes 4 weeks) I may have something like 167 cards altogether.

By the way, for those that don't know, apparently Nintendo says that most of the AR cards will be obtainable through special events, promotions and magazines. While I think that is such as bogus way of distributing the cards, at least I can get cards off Club Nintendo, that way those who can't attend events or promotions (lucky americans!! ) like myself, can still obtain them, although I guess us NZers will miss out sorely on those rare unobtainable AR cards.
Speaking of events and promotions, they almost never happen here, which still to this day bugs the hell out of me, oh well Nintendo doesn't really care much about either Australia or New Zealand anyway.
Can't wait to pick the game today, been hearing mixed reviews but most have generally been amazing reviews. Famitsu rated Kid Icarus:Uprising 40/40 a few weeks ago and I was blown away, since most of the time I hear that's a pretty rare score for them to give, if i'm not mistaken. Most other sites like kotaku and gonintendo have been very positive, but I was taken aback by Ign's lame 8.5 score, as they often score nintendo games down more than other platforms, which IMO is rather biased.
Lastly, to those that don't know, if you pick up the KI:U Prima guide, you get 3 free AR cards, one being noted is Dark Pit (flying), the other two I believe are random, though I'm not sure. Nintendo Power apparently will come with AR cards, but I'm unsure about it's AU/NZ counterpart, Official Nintendo Magazine, even getting any cards whatsoever, as Nintendo of Australia have not been willing to comment. Game Informer will also give away AR cards in it's april 2012 issue, so those Card hunters, just be aware of that too.

Just discovered that the kill counter for one match cannot exceed 99. Once you hit 99 kills, all further pwnage still counts towards your score, but you won't know exactly how many kills you got.

I tried out a whole bunch of new powers today. The Eggplant Attack power is hilarious, especially with AoE attacks. Spite seems really weak at level 1 unless you have pretty high health, but the higher level ones deal enough damage to take out an assailant with you before you die. Heavenly Light really shuts down Claw and Arm users, and any other sloppy close-medium range attackers. Found that high level Playing Dead skills are useful; while almost no one falls for the fake death, since they can see if you died on the bottom screen, it grants you temporary invincibility as well as invisibility, making it easy to land a melee combo or charged shot. I got a level 4 Explosive Flame power, and noticed that it increases in strength per level rather than how many uses you get, so it might be pretty deadly. I also got Temporary Invincibility, or whatever it's called, from a Single Player mission. It works kind of like a Power Up drop. It's getting harder and harder to decide what skills to take with me!

Has anyone gotten anything above level 4, or is that the maximum for powers? I used to think it was level 3, but then I got a few level 4 powers, so maybe level 5 ones exist?

Just beat chapter 5 last night, Pandora was funny

Dark Pit!

How's everyone else doing?

My copy of KI:U should come in two days. Can't wait !

Um, am I a horrible human being if I agree with, oh, roughly 99.999% of what Viridi says? After all, humans pave paradise and put up parking lots (among other atrocities). I'd join Viridi, but Lady Palutena's way hotter.

I'm still savoring this game. For some reason I refuse to start chapter 6. I've been replaying the first five like mad.

I have yet to even play it yet, i'm picking mine up after lunch today, since it gets released today here in NZ. Anyone get AR cards as their Preorder bonus? My preorder comes with the included 6 cards, plus I get 5 random AR cards as preorder bonus and 3 more AR cards from the KId Icarus:Uprising Prima guide. Of course I don't really like using walkthorughs, but it may be useful when trying to track down itemes when it comes to raising the intensity on levels to get rare weapons or items.
So How many cards have people ordered off Club Nintendo? As I Said before, i've ordered 13 packs of 10 random AR cards and I plan to order two more packs after that once I have Kid Icarus:Uprising and completed a survey on our Club Nintendo. I'm hoping EB games will stock AR Cards, does anyone know whether they're gonna be any available a retail?? so far nothing over here, EB Games doesn't even have a clue and the local Comic Book shop we have only sells pokemon cards and they don't stock anything that's really video game related, well except for pokemon/zelda manga etc

I got my Nintendo Power Cards and my Club Nintendo cards today. Still haven't gotten the game, though.

Great Reaper
Medusa (Battle)
Poseidon
Drill Arm
Thanatos
Palutena (Rare)

The clubs´ charged attack IS OP.
Anyways, i love using my Reaper palm and the Moonlight Palm. Its front charged attack is powerfull.

They just give you a crap ton of hearts.

Yeah, if I had a one hit kill club with super sonic speed I could kill me easily too!
I prefer the bows right now, but I'm trying to learn the blades a little better.

I want my CN AR cards! >_>
