Kid Icarus: Uprising - 3DS

Kid Icarus Trailer Showcases Goofy Writing, Respect For The Past, Crazy Battles

Nintendo has slowly turned me from skeptical about the upcoming 3DS game Kid Icarus: Uprising to pretty excited. The latest trailer continues that trend.

In addition to a whole bunch of story and dialogue samples, this lengthy video shows off how enemies you may recognize from Pit's NES adventure will be showing up in the game. If the eggplant wizard (pictured above) isn't enough to get your nostalgia steaming up, how about the fact that the game also adds a tempura wizard who deep fries Pit? Delicious!

Watch the trailer for yourself below. If you're looking for more on Kid Icarus, take a look at my hands-on preview from January.

Comments
  • Just a couple more weeks and we can finally play this.
  • tempura wizard? seriously?
  • The dialogue is so cheesily amazing! I for one cannot wait for this. And as long as I'm tempura and not an eggplant, I'm okay with this. I will probably be turned into eggplant anyway.

  • The action, graphics, and sound all look impressive, but the writing is definitely cheesy. Not necessarily a bad thing and seems to fit the tone of the game. Pit's swag-a-docious!

  • This game is the one to convince me to get a 3DS at last. I didn´t even play the first Kid Ikarus, but I remember playing the GameBoy one and remember the eggplant man turning me to an eggplant thing. Too much good games on all consoles and hand helds too little money :-(

  • Pandora looks just like Gastly lol. This game looks prettyyy sick, can't wait to grab a copy!

  • So many great comebacks >.> "What's up Pit stain?" "You having a talk with your self angel face?" I also really liked the dialogue between palutena and Pit >.> I cannot wait for this to come out!
  • So far, the only bad thing i can say about the game is the script and the voice acting. What's up with the corny dialog?

  • is it just me or does japan only have 5 english voice actors?
  • "Get ready for a display of raw angel power!"

  • i wanna get this game but i don't have a 3DS orz and i love the dialog in this! it's cheesy but the acting is good and i love the conversations pit and palutena have.

  • The dialouge hurts. A LOT.
  • Considering all most 3ds owners know about him is that he was in smash brothers, im glad this trailer gives them an idea of what they re in for.

  • THE EGGPLANT WIZARD had to be in this game!!!

    Tempura wizard... lolz.

    Pit is such a dork.  I hope the gameplay translates, because I think I'm going to enjoy this game.  The pure lunacy of the voice acting is making me smile.

  • It looks really impressive, but the controls look pretty iffy.

  • The "I'm Finished!" quips were hysterical! I wish I had a 3DS, because I'd be buying this without a doubt.

  • This looks suprisingly fun. Besides the weird banter and tempura.

  • At least the acting is not as bad as star fox =D

  • This might convince me to pick up a 3DS over Vita. :O I WANNA BE PIT. (I'm still gonna give that Vita about a year to see what games it gets.)
  • I'll be passing on this dumb looking game.
