Kid Icarus Uprising is a rethinking of the Kid Icarus franchise as a shooter. It doesn't have much to do with the classic Famicom title, a platformer, except for the character and world elements.
BLG writes: "While it didn’t sell as well as the Nintendo DS, the Nintendo 3DS was nonetheless a wonderful system. And, while this may be a hot take, it’s easily my favorite handheld. Even more than a decade removed from launch, the system’s library has so many titles that feel as fresh today as they did back at release. While it was hard to narrow down, these 30 Nintendo 3DS games are emblematic of the system’s success."
From Zelda to Metroid, Nintendo Everything goes over the top five Nintendo franchises that have made the jump from 2D to 3D the best.
Nintendo has always been known for flaunting fine-tuned gameplay over full-blown narratives, however, Kid Icarus: Uprising literally flipped the script as it shined with its writing, story, and characters above all else.
lol, they're complaining about the lack of a 2nd analogue stick. Hopefully the controls aren't a game breaker. I'll have to try it out myself though, however, you'd think that through playtesting they might have wanted to put a 2nd stick on there. Maybe ign's just whining though.
