New Kid Icarus 3DS Game Could Feature Multiplayer
It’s been over twenty years since the first Kid Icarus title and the times have changed. Fortunately, main character Pit is progressive enough to evolve along with them. In addition to going three dimensional and becoming more of a Sin and Punishment style shooter, it sounds like Nintendo’s update to the Kid Icarus franchise might also feature multiplayer.
Masahiro Sakurai, Kid Icarus Uprising’s game designer, recently told U.K. magazine Games Master that, "The online capabilities are currently being tested. There could be some versus play, but we can't go into any detail. There are a lot of capabilities that expand on what was in the DS that people are taking advantage of."
Sounds cool to us. How do you think multiplayer Kid Icarus would work?
