This thread is dedicated to the upcoming 3DS game, Kid Icarus: Uprising!

So yeah, discuss how awesome the game is, favorite weapons/strategies and junk like that. Hopefully we can use this to organize 3 vs 3 battles sometime!

And here are these if you need to get pumped for getting this game:

Well I had been on the fence about this game... mostly because of the controls, but the multiplayer pushed me over the edge, I ordered it with release day shipping so I'll have it next friday. I'm interested in playing some of the vs matches with you so sign me up... although I only recently got my 3DS and dont know how to get my player code thing so I may need a lil help in that department.



EDIT: I found my friend code... wasn't as complicated as I thought it was.

Oh man, as soon as I found out about the online multiplayer mode...
It's a good thing I got a job recently, so I'll be able to afford a 3DS soon

I read both Bows and Cannons as Cows.

I'll be buying this when it comes out, because the multiplayer alone looks really fun.

Pre-ordered it over a week ago and am super pumped for both Single Player and Multi Player!

My body is ready.

I was looking forward to a new Kid Icarus since it was first announced waaaaaay back

but then I saw the gameplay videos

it looks too much like Kingdom Hearts to make me excited for this game, sorry

Did you want it more like the original? I'm a huge Nintendo fan and I thought the original Kid Icarus sucked badly. Besides, this game is mostly shooting and doesn't take itself seriously at all.

I thought the original Kid Icarus was a good game... its just like most games from that era, hard as hell. I got it when I was like 8 or 9 and didn't beat it until I was like 12. This new one has alot of the old enemies in it from the NES version which is appealing to me cuz I really like nostalgia stuff. But the multiplayer is what really sold me on it, it looks like alot of fun.

To me, there are games that give their series a great start and age incredibly well (Super Mario Bros., Donkey Kong Country (sure, Donkey Kong is the real original for both but bleh)). Then there are games that are still good but are outshined by their successors (Metroid, Sonic the Hedgehog). Then there are games that time has basically spit on and just fail horribly. This is what I call the "Thank God this shit got better" category (The Legend of Zelda, Kid Icarus).

Either way, if it were more like the original, it would be too much like Metroid so meh.

Where's Mega Man on that list? It seems to be in the middle, since it isn't really outshined by it's successors (everyone thinks the ones after 3 or 4 suck) but it hasn't aged well either...

Still looks fun I guess.
