Nintendo Europe has finally issued a vague March release window for much anticipated 3DS game Kid Icarus: Uprising.

Nintendo Europe also gave a broad quarter 1 2012 release for 3D Classics: Kid Icarus, though if you register 2 3DS games you can get 3D Classics: Kid Icarus for free.

James started his career in video games as News Editor on Nintendo Life. Since leaving in 2012 to join Nintendo of Europe, James has risen through the ranks to become NoE's Senior Product PR & Corporate Communications Manager.

The screenshots look amazing! I am so happy to play the original (again) Kid Icarus until the sequel comes out. Do you know how long it's been since the original came out? At least 20+ years!

Wait, it supports the frankenstick? Where does it say it will support it, got a link? Because if it does, this game gives me an incentive to buy the extra circle pad, aside from monster hunter. One of my highly anticipated handheld 2012 titles for sure, can't wait for this to come out.
