@shingi_70 all of those may have, but they are all fantastic, high quality games. This is a good score, because it shows Kid Icarus is just as good as all those games.

Wow! And being along side MGS4 proves that 40/40 is given to games that deserve it! I'm even more excited now!

wonder if there is a conflict of interest as Sakurai writes a column for the magazine and has had three books published by that publisher.

Looks like I beat you to the punch.

OK now I really gotta get this. Also Brawl, Wind Waker, etc. This game is in good company.

Sakurai. Get to work on Smash Bros. plz D:

And beg Nintendo for a BIGGER team so it can be done efficiently and not take forever. Uprising has been in development for almost 3 years. I mean, it's not entirely a bad thing especially when the final result is a quality product.

I'm really looking forward to this game next week.

Yeah, it looks like this will be an easy contender for Handheld GOTY. Now I really can't wait to play this one in just over a week.

I call bs unless they never played single player.

Dude has two teams Hal and Sora Ltd.

So i'm Guessing Magnus and one of the villains for Smash Bros 4.

don't you know its considered apart of the Nintendo marketing Budget.

Hal only provided the framework for Smash Bros. Brawl, since Sakurai actually had to hire an outside team called "Game Arts" to work on Brawl along with his small team "Sora Ltd."

Not sure if Project Sora is an extension of Sora Ltd. or a rebranding from Nintendo acquiring some shares of the company (It was created by Sakurai and Nintendo).

I see Medusa possibly being a playable character in the next Smash and even Palutena now.

I couldn't imagine Lady Palutena being a playable character. All she does is give Pit powers and tell jokes. Then again Zelda and Peach are players, but with Palutena she has Pit and lother angel warriors specifically for the reason to protect herself and not fight on her own. Medusa I can see and would actually like.

I wonder who is getting the review here at nintendo life. If its corbs then its guaranteed a 10!

It may not be quite as fun in single player as it is in multi-player but with its fantastic level design, its still an awesome game in single player. Also, its far more worthy of being on that list than Nintendogs.

Just placed my order for Kid Icarus AR Cards. Not getting game till i get the money D:

BRING IT ON!

Can't get the free card in GAME informer because... there is no Game informer magazine where i live D:

Guess what video just popped up on my system?! Yep part 3. Going to watch it NOW!

Sweeet! I'll watch it tomorrow after school!
