Topic: Kid Icarus: Uprising

Oh, thought they were like, some special enemy that unlocks something or whatever. xD

@Fluttershyguy You're right; I also agree with her. It's no secret that we're terrible creatures. Most of what she's saying is overused in many series though (or have I just been into really sick and twisted media). After playing this, I realize E rated games aren't all sunshine and rainbows.

I'm having a ridiculous amount of trouble trying to find a weapon to stick with. Especially since I accidentally got rid of my best ones when I downsized the inventory... I miss my Viper Blade.

Damn it. Guess what? None of the EB games here in NZ are stocking the Prima Guide. Does anyone know where you can buy it from.... cheap? they usually sell guides here for $40 NZD and you usually get 20% of that when you purchase it with the game. But unfortunately for me, EB games said they're not interested in selling it to me, along with those of three AR Cards that were supposed to come with it. Oh well at least i'm getting my CN cards i've ordered and i'm happy that I was one of the first to get em off CN (BTW i'm talking about the Aussie club nintendo, which believe me needs to be severely updated). Nintendo of Europe has way better stuff than us, we have only three good things worth swapping our hard earned stars for and they are: Game & Watch Collection, Game & Watch Collection 2 and Kid Icarus:Uprising. I've already purchased all three, especially more of the latter, plus I also got that free LOZ:OOT 3D soundtrack most people got for purchasing OOT early. Everything else is bogus, which is why i've spent all but 100 stars on these cool AR cards for my game i'm purchasing today.

Im a big fan of the bows.
I have a Hawkeye Bow with 273 value and Charge shot bonuses +2 for front, side, and back.
Its a pretty nifty sniping weapon.

Quick question,Is there a way to have the reticle fixed in the center of the screen and aim with the buttons?(similar to console tps such as Gears of War or the third person mode in Halo? Also, how is aiming with the buttons?I hope it`s at least comfortable...

I found a 200+ Ninja Palm, and it is a dream. Stats include +4 walking speed. I move around the screen effortlessly in land battles and dodging is smooth. Great weapon.

So guys what is this chapter 5 all about OH GOD WHAT MY BRAIN AHHH.

This art design reminded me of a certain 1993 polygon game.

I am LOVING my super-cheap silver bow. 310 value. A forward charge shot wil get rid of over half of the opponents health at medium range, it has insane homing capabilites, and is just brutally unfair to use. I love it.
EDIT: Some N-lifers can attest to it's power. I played in a room with a few the other day and scored over 2600 points in a light vs. dark match.

I accidentally fused my 6 star Predator cannon. I got a 3 star one by chance....

Ok, so now I've played through the first two chapters and amassed a whopping four weapons, I can really see why people don't like the controls.

Being a Leftie, using the stylus in the wrong hand just feels awkward. To accommodate this, perhaps they could've included some sort of finger stylus (like a rubberized thimble with a stylus tip). Besides Circle Pad Pro camera control (as mentioned in NL's review), it would've been nice if they had added a gyroscopic aiming option for when you switch to first-person view (ala OOT 3D).

Other than that, I'd have to say that it seems like very extensive, fun game. . . . and I can see how the solo campaign may become quite challenging, quite quickly.

Hey, I just came to brag about my 297 value Jetstream Orbitars..
Haven't used anything else since I got them.

Also, since I've been replaying the levels like mad, SPOILER? I just beat chapter 11. And all I have to say is wow. Just wow. I didn't see that coming. It also depressed me how she just wiped out a whole, as Pit put it, nations worth of people.
Gonna have to let that settle.

I'm just not used to instantaneous genocide in my E10+ games.

Still looking for the perfect weapon. At the moment I know I don't like clubs, bows, and staffs. I'm currently using an Optical Blade valued at 250.

This may be a really dumb question, but I haven't really heard this mentioned any where: how many multi-player maps are there?

@Ecto-1 I think there are 5 or 6, but i am not sure.

Currently my favorite weapon are my Fairy Orbitars. It was so much fun annoying a staff user during an online Dark vs. Light match. Good to know these orbitars won´t be telling me what to do in an annoying voice...

Thanks! I will, with any luck, be picking up a used copy of this tomorrow. Looking forward to it.

I just got a level 4 Trade Off power from beating mission 12. It sacrifices most of your health, but raises all attributes. It seems that level 4 grants the biggest boost, more than doubling damage and defense. Just slapped together a set with Energy Charge level 1 (~75% more damage until hit), Trade Off level 4, Brief Invincibility level 1 (invulnerable for around 5 seconds) and Health Recovery level 1. After activating Energy Charge and Trade Off, I do around four times more damage! At least, against the Monoeye in the testing area. Then, I recover my health back to around 40-50% while invincible. Opens up some nice strategies. Now my Predator Cannon does 500+ damage per hit, instantly killing the testing ground Monoeye, and weak weapons suddenly become power houses.

Wow, chapter 18 was mega fun. Loved it. Also got an optical blade. 23something value!

@TysonQ7 I know right?! The ending of Chapter 9 came as a surprise, but I got over it. I clicked on Chapter 10 and said: how bad could it be? Then, **name censored to avoid spoilers** talks about reviving a girl's dead parents he murdered, only for Pit to find out there is **scene censored to avoid spoilers**. Then , **name censored to avoid spoilers** calls out to the humans that the **name of beast censored to avoid spoilers** was defeated and **object censored to avoid spoilers** could be theirs. Chapter 11 starts with Pit flying over legions and legions of humans fighting violently over **object censored to avoid spoilers**. But then, a bomb falls from the sky and results in massive genocide and WOW!!! I closed my 3DS, took a look at the box and its rating.
