For anyone who isn't aware, If you pre-order/reserve Kid Icarus Uprising at GameStop by 3/22 (That's Thursday, and it's TOMORROW) then you are supposed to get a download code for Kid Icarus 3D Classics on your receipt when you pick up the game on 3/23 (this Friday).
As there is no official date for Kid Icarus 3D Classics on the eShop and as they are REEEEEEALLY slow about adding stuff on there, this is your best shot in the US for getting KI3DC any time soon, (possibly at all — I'm looking at you Ambassador Games!!) ;p Really, it would have been a brilliant idea for them to release this AHEAD of Uprising either as a promo or as an eShop download, in order to get people juiced up for it's release, but that's Nintendo for ya. It would be great if there were any real pre-order swag for KIU, but a free 3DSVC game is a pretty sweet deal too. Well, there's the stand thing that comes with Uprising, but as far as I know that's basically standard, so it doesn't really count as swag, and if you are using the Circle Pad Pro, then I don't see how you can use the stand anyway. And seriously, YOU WANT THE CIRCLE PAD PRO, it is AWESOME (I cannot stress this enough) on the games that support it so far. It's a horrid shame that the availability of the thing is less than zero across the board, I had to make a road trip to god-knows-where to actually get one, but it was soooo worth it. Supposedly GS won't be stocking more until some time in May, the date just keeps getting pushed back like a month later every time I visit a GameStop store.
I'm betting five bucks that 3D Classics Kid Icarus hits the eShop tomorrow.
I'm thinking the same thing too since I heard you can now buy a code (even though I also heard the code won't work till Friday) to download 3D Classics Kid Icarus for $5.99 at GameStop.

On topic: Already got mine preordered. That will be kind of upsetting if it hits the eShop tomorrow and I won't be able to get my copy until Friday.

No it isn't. Kid Icarus is one of the few NES games I really truly enjoyed.

You must be trippin' ballz, I'm not spenting $20 bucks for a hunk of plastic. And you only need CPP if your left handed (I'm looking at you zerk)
For you, the day LordJumpMad graced your threads, was the most important day of your life. But for me, it was Tuesday. [url=http://www.backloggery.com/jumpmad]Unive...
I got the 3D Classic from Club Nintendo and I get 5 free AR cards as a preorder bonus. Dunno how I'm going to survive until the 29th when it comes out here though. D:

like 5 extra cards besides the 5 that come with the game? or are those the cards you mean?

I tip my :gentlemanhat: to you, good Dictactor-sir.
Oh, and I'm sure I'm older than everyone ITT - and Kid Icarus was easily one of the most forgettable titles back in the late 80's (at least for me). If people play the game and find enjoyment from it - well, I think that is just awesome sauce.
S'cool though, Kid Icarus isn't automatically for everyone — personally for me it's one of my fave NES titles of all (though admittedly it has a heavy nostalgia factor for me), and i played the crap out of it back in the day.
Got my eShop d/L code today, and have played through a few levels so far — any excuse to play through the game again is good enough for me!
Just went to Gamestop today and found out that you can buy the download code by itself for $6 along with Super Mario Land 2 and Pushmo! So I bought and downloaded it.
