Kid Icarus Uprising Multiplayer Details Emerge

No surprises were revealed during the Nintendo Direct broadcast last night, but one major question was answered: Where the hell is Kid Icarus Uprising? The game, which was one of the first games revealed for the 3DS, has finally secured a release date. It will hit store shelves in Japan on March 22.

Nintendo also teased new multiplayer tidbits. Through an internet or local connection, players can flutter their little wings in 3-on-3 competitive and battle royale modes.

No US release date details were given last night, but if the Japanese release date holds firm, I wouldn't be surprised if we see it stateside in early summer.
