Topic: Kid Icarus: Uprising

Kiddies, the Fiend's Couldren is amazing.
I loved the idea at first, but when I saw the intensity lowers every time you die I got mad. What a way to make it super easy, Sakurai- I thought. But after dieing a few more times something snapped. Screw 1-ups and worry about starting the level over again! With the Fiend's Couldren you got to worry about dieing and the game becoming too easy. This is ingenious. This motivates me to not die more than having to star a whole level or world over ever could. This game is pure pure WIN!
Also the boss fights get more and more fun every chapter. I love chap 12's boss so much!

This game is fantastic. I'm bouncing between solo and multi; multi gives me good weapons and guaranteed fun, and the solo is always blowing my mind.

This my seem weird, but does this game remind anyone of Crystal Bearers on Wii? Something about it...

You find that a good thing? That's the only thing I don't like, especially when I turn up the Intensity and I lose so many hearts.

No, that's exactly it!
I HATED that at first! So much! But think about it. The game has no one ups. If it weren't for the Fiend's Couldren there would be no consequences for dying..
Look at Sonic Generations. Its a great game and I love it, but there is no reason to be worried about dieing. Game Over? Whatever, just start the level over. In KI:U there is a real reason to bother to stay alive. Plus you get a much better reward if you day stay alive. And it's not like getting hearts is hard.
I ended up liking it when I realized its potential.

Wow. The story was taken to a whole new level from chapter 18 onwards. Holy hell. It's ingenious.

After beating it,my brain exploded from awesomeness

I just don't like the game getting easier on me. When I die I want to try the same level again with the same amount of challenge. I don't mind losing hearts as much, that could've been the penalty on it's own.

I agree to an extent. It should have only gone down a 0.1 instead of a whole 1 if the difficulty is going to decrease.

I don't like the difficulty drop thing just because it seems to get too easy every time if I die once. Good thing I haven't died for a while.

I so far have only played around 2.0 intensity because i still wanna get used to all the levels and beat the game without dying to many times. But after i beat it, i will try harder intensity levels to unlock new areas and get more hearts and treasure (so far im at chapter 15)

Ok I love the game and all, BUT i got one serious question:

I have absolutely no idea what the weapon-bonuses do. There tons of different bonuses, but i can't find any description of them. The game didn't come with a real manual and the one on the cartridge doesn't tell me about the weapons. Did I miss something?

Also: Some weapons seem to do damage over time (DoT), without having a bonus like "Posion+1" or something.
Is there any information about this?

@buddakeks - I'm sure when the OST comes out in two weeks there'll be someone here who could inform the rest of us about it ...

The multiplayer of this game is a blast, two days in, i don't remember the last time i had so much fun.
I guess it was while playing PowerStone with my friends. good ol' times.

this game is hard when you crank intensity !!! didnt have a challenge like this in the past few games i played.

you can feel the art direction from smash brothers all over the place. the best 3DS game to date ! glad they took this much time to finish it!

Just visited records section for the first time. You can find all kind of scores there. Took a look at my online mode stats, here's some of mine: 97 matches played, 65 matches won (Light vs. Dark), 226 opponents defeated.

This game is great!! Some levels take a really long time to get through though....no spoilers so that's all I'm saying about that.
I much prefer using the ABXY buttons instead of the touch screen for ground battle though. It does make air battle a little more tricky but it works ok too. Been trying to go through most of the game at difficulty 3 or a little higher at first....but I've still died like twice. I wish I could say the level I'm on but I'm not so sure if that would be a spoiler or not...
For the online, it's a lot of fun, but man....some people are insane on there! I got third both times I played free for all. The guy who got first had some dark looking sword I don't have yet, and was like, disapearing, and reapearing and running faster than Sonic the Hedgehog....I hope he wasn't cheating... Maybe he just right fully kicked my butt. haha. Did ok though. 3rd out of 6 people isn't bad I guess.
My weapon of choice so far, I believe is the fortune bow. I think I have some better weapons but I really like this one. (and it's one of the AR cards I started with)

SPOILER

just got to the pirate ship level. The first part of it just looked amazing!

End Spoiler

Still loving the Online. It's just so intense haha. 35 kills so far and won 7 Dark vs light matches. The story is still pretty good, but the chaos infused Multiplayer has taken up a majority of my time with it so far

Oh and I still have not received my Cards from Club Nintendo even though they shipped out a week ago

I haven't gotten the cards either. Seems kinda strange as I just got the Luigi pouch that I ordered the day after I got the email that my cards had shipped.

The pouch is great though.

Well, glad I'm not the only one who didn't get the card from Club Nintendo yet.....well not really glad about it, but it's nice to know it's not just me...if that makes sense...annyyway.
What difficulty is everyone else playing on mostly?? I must sort of suck, cause I've been playing through on level 3.1 or so (except I beat Chapter 1 on level 7 pretty easily) and I've died twice. I'm about halfway through the game...again, don't want to give away spoilers as to where exactly that is.

Wow, Chapter 5, absolutely blew me away, so beautiful

Also, I loved when Palutena split the ocean for Pit in chapter 6, that was gorgeous.
