Mar. 23 :: Kid Icarus: Uprising released

Hot new 3DS game by Nintendo flies onto shelves!

No, this is when it starts flying OFF the shelves.



Who's gonna get this? Who wants to set up a weekly time to play it?

You know I'm getting it!

So far you're it...

I have it pre-ordered, along with the circle pad pro!!! STOKED!!!

-also getting a new router soon so that should fix my Mariokart 7 problem!

Okay, good. So we're up to 2 on 1 so far...

Triz had it...but then returned it.

You suck, Triz.

Intimidated by the tough controls.

Garbage game is garbage. Flying was all kinds of awesome, land combat was a clusterfuck. Shitty controls do not = tough controls.

That's a yes, Z.

At this point, I have little difficulty with the controls. It's clear to me that it was not their intent to use the touch screen for the sake of using the touch screen. For the speed and accuracy of the action they wanted, even dual analog sticks would just not cut it. I think they were going for more a mouse-level of speed and precision. Unfortunately, doing so with a touch screen requires a high learning curve. Too high, perhaps, for lesser gamers. ;p

No doubt about it, though, this is a fantastic game. The graphics and animation are outstanding, the dialogue is consistently entertaining, the story is surprisingly engaging, and the action is as non-stop as it is satisfying. Anyone who drops it quickly over control concerns is doing themselves a monumental disservice.

I'm ashamed. I'm all these things. a lesser gamer that is doing myself a monumental disservice. I want to be in the cool crowd but until I get the controls down I'm an embarrassment on the battle field. Got Circle Pad Pro now so I'll give it another go soon.

Streex- hand over your badge. You're done.

I haven't even tried it with Circle Pad Pro yet! Don't be so grabby!

Its not a garbage game. Go play Uncharted 3000 the Sequel on your Vita.
