Take Aim at a Timeless Adventure!
Some 25 years after the original Kid Icarus™ game for NES™ captured the hearts and imaginations of gamers worldwide, Kid Icarus: Uprising brings the action and adventure of this beloved series to new heights – and new visual dimensions – on the Nintendo 3DS™ system. The dark goddess Medusa and her Underworld Army have returned, and they’ve got their sights set on the heroic angel Pit. With the aid of Palutena, goddess of light and guardian of the human race, Pit must fend off this malevolent threat. The richly immersive graphics of the Nintendo 3DS system offer incredible depth as Pit battles enemies by air and by land.
FEATURES:
Designed by Masashiro Sakurai – creator of Kirby™ and Super Smash Bros.™ – Kid Icarus: Uprising is an epic, action-packed odyssey that unfolds with stunning 3D visuals. The game also includes fully-voiced levels and an amazing soundtrack.
Each Chapter delivers nonstop action and is broken up into two sections: Air Battle and Land Battle. In Air Battle the action unfolds like a dynamic guided shooter. When Pit is facing enemies in Land Battle, the game play handles more like a third-person shooter.
Collect different weapons and learn the unique characteristics of each weapon type as you determine which weapon is best suited for each battle.
Experience an innovative take on multiplayer battles in Light vs. Dark, as two teams battle on land whittling away at the other team’s health meter each time a team member is defeated. The team battle then changes to a man-hunt once one team’s meter is emptied. The opposing team must target the other team’s lone angel to win the match.
The game includes AR Card compatibility. Using the built-in 3D camera on the Nintendo 3DS system, the game recognizes countless specially designed AR Cards, with animated game characters popping up in 3D on the game screen and even battling each other when two cards face off.
The game’s simple, intuitive play control has players hold the system in their left hand, while the right hand uses the stylus on the touch screen for targeting. The controls are simple enough to be grasped quickly, but offer layers of depth and strategy for advanced maneuvers.

estoiagamer said:
I think the 3DS costs at least 200 dollars in US but in my country it will be at least 250-300 dollars(in my country there are kroons and 10 kroons is 1 dollar) so it will be hard to get it but thank god i have 100 dollars waiting to get some more and then go away to 3DS. Oh and the Kid Icarus.......it looks the best ds game i have EVER seen woooooooooow
#21
Omenapoika said:
Haha, I remember seeing this in the E3 show when it aired. When I saw the goddess familiar from SSBB, I was like "Pitt! Kid Icarus!" and then: "Sorry to keep you waiting!"... Man, I was smiling from ear to ear. While eating my tuna.

interesting how the change of just the name makes a game more child like or serious...

Just pre-ordered this from Amazon.com through the Nintendo site, you get a free download of 3D Classics: Kid Icarus on release day. (Plus you get the 3DS stand inside.) Anyways, I'm ultra-excited and I can't wait to play this game (and the original again.) If you have Amazon Prime it also will arrive on release day for free shipping.

SuperNictendo said:
After getting to play this it cast all doubts I might of had out the window! I'm sure this game will be if not the handheld game of the year then one of the MUST PLAY games of the year!
#64
SuperNictendo said:
@SkywardLink98 the controls take a while to get used to and have a bit of a learning curve BUT they're actually extremely responsive and once mastered you might findit works just as well, if not better than a lot of fps or third person shooters. A lot of people caught on ridiculously quick and was working the camera like a champ. But yes I could see people complaining that the camera use requires a learning curve at all. I honestly appreciated it cause it did work more then well and it put everyone on the same level somewhat. If it had just used a second analog stock like any other game then you would've been able to just hop off of CoD or Uncharted and would have dominated everyone else.

mario300 said:
i wish i bought the game today which is the realese date for the game.i know that this game is going to be epic!
#67
Collinhall said:
Hmmm... When I read the review before actually playing the game myself, I thought it was VERY biased, as the controls were only briefly mentioned here, but slammed everywhere else. Glad to say that after playing the game (and beating it in one day lol) that it is NOT biased at all, it well deserved the 9 it received here. I don't know what sites like Destructoid were thinking with a 5.0, I mean really. The controls were GREAT for me, the second Pit touched the ground I was already loving them, and I barely had any of the hand cramps other reviews spoke of.
In short - Awesome review!

AmineKat47 said:
Just put everything in 3D already! This is driving me crazy with the fact that they should've been put Smash Bros. in 3D!!!
#80
Anvil said:
@marioman Of course they would. I just think The creator of Kid Icarus been busy on the first three Smash Bros. But, I guess he finished this game and now is gonna go start working on The Smash Bros for Wii U and 3DS.
((I think Wii U will just be the same as Wii, so technically Smash Bros Will be for 3DS and Wii.))

DarkCoolEdge said:
Flying sections are great. Walking sections...are not. I hate how Pit walks and the controls (walking) are terrible. It should support the circle pad pro or just have done it differently.
The game is funny, art is great, graphics pretty good and has tons of replayability but those controls are bad, it makes it a chore
#94
rayword45 said:
@DarkCoolEdge Circle Pad Pro would suck. If you have one, move with the face buttons and aim with the circle pad. You'll see why. They should've supported it anyways though.
Did you like games like Moon, Dementium or Metroid Prime Hunters?

Link-Rogers said:
I got the button fixed and I love it. it is now on my favorites
