With the imminent release of Kid Icarus: Uprising this March, designer Masashiro Sakurai (Kirby’s Dream Land, Super Smash Bros.) has retained the cartoonish Greco atmosphere while swapping the classic title’s leisurely scrolling action for a frantic shoot-‘em –up vibe.
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.
looks pretty fun to me.
Look up all the games Sakurai has worked on. Kirby and Smash Bros. The guy has yet to make a bad one.
I'm excited, but I'm going to wait for the review on this one. It might be real short.
Kid Icarus was the first story-based game that I ever finished.
good preview.
