Honestly, I've had no problems with hand cramping whatsoever. I've got the Nyko battery pack attached, giving the 3ds a little more junk in the trunk to hold on to, which helps. The big thing is auto fire holding down L. I expected to absolutely hate the controls since they're the same as MP Hunters for the most part, but like I said, no comfort problems so far even during hour long sessions.

The weird thing is, he really is Shadow the Hedgehog to a certain extent...just something about the way this game carries itself and handles its characters makes it ok.
Maybe it's because it never takes itself too seriously, or maybe it's the breakneck pace that makes you feel like you're getting to know these characters even though you've only ever heard a couple of minutes of dialogue from them.
They're all such archetypes that you already know exactly what role they're going to play, so it just gets right down to business.

I feel almost embarrassed when I play at higher difficulty because I always fail horribly with certain enemies. Like at 8.0 difficulty I will do well until I get to one enemy with a specific pattern and end up a difficulty level 5. I have only myself to blame for messing up that much. I don't have a problem with the controls most of the time, but when you can fall off the platform when trying to evade enemies by dodging it is bad design. Also that driving vehicle has the worst controls (reminds me of when I first drove in Halo: Combat Evolved) but at least the other stuff is manageable.
So far I love the game. As everyone else has already expressed it is something special and is very addictive. I don't really laugh at the dialogues most of the time, but I really enjoy listening to them. It is rare to find a game with so much charm.
Could anyone make me a Viridis goddess avatar?
Yeah I agree which is one of the games weaknesses in terms of design.

I love how eco-conscious she is and agree with her ideals

What the heck Amazon. Where is my Kid Icarus 3D Classic download code??
I preordered a week ahead of time. It should have been emailed within two days of shipping, right? Anyone else have this problem?
I got my code on release day. You should email them and see what's up.

this game is so awesome - the [ch 7 spoiler:
] flight sequence in particular made my jaw drop on numerous occasions
sea parting
The enemy where you have to shot when it's one color, and melee it when it's another.
Personally, I love that they have such a unique enemy in the game, but yeah, 'eff those guys.

Just got done with Chapter 7 after taking a few days off.
Okay...if it keeps getting better like everyone is saying after THIS, I don't see how this isn't Nintendo's GOTY until an HD Metroid made by Retro pops up.

Well crap. That's awfully high praise that's difficult to ignore. I'm just trying not to fall into the hype machine that sometimes is accurate (Vita) and sometimes not (Mutant Blobs Attack/Journey)...I'm basically deciding between buying this and an Aliens vs. Predator CPS2 board...seems I'd get more playtime out of this. Thanks for the feedback.
Kid Icarus Uprising will change your mind about the 3DS. The controls might have a steep learning curve but makes sense given the context of the action. This game will grab you and it won't let go. Nothing about this game is "pointless".
Yes, Kid Icarus Uprising is definitively worth the price of admission of buying a 3DS, but the 3DS already has a ton of other great software in it so why just get it just for this game?
Online play is great and stable, but it can get quite hectic. It's best you play through singleplayer to familiarize yourself with certain items and build up a good arsenal to bring to multiplayer.
(Also needs a Reggie "What is wrong with you" gif.)
And do yourself a favor after buying this: Don't visit this thread (or avoid the internet entirely) until you beat the whole single player campaign. Part of the fun is the surprises that come with the game.
Thanks man! It's not me, though! Babel Club dude. I won't shut up about it. The charge tornado is killer and if I match it up right with a flame burst I can get double and triple kills often.
Not to mention, your team easily punished me over and over once I moved over. Haha! I really love that the tide can change so drastically from game to game.
Wow. The best we've seen so far.

Finally got a Streetpass tag from someone else who owns the game
You can get up to 50 gems at a single time

Yeah that tornado was amazing
I hated it when I was against you; I got friggin stuck on the roof one time and felt hopeless haha
Ah finally, Sakurai truly knows how many items should be streetpassed.
Whew that's good. It's really dumb that the 3DS only stores three SM3DLand street passes at a time.
I can never seem to shake the feeling that I need to get waaaay better weaponry than what I've had so far. So many of my weapon fusions feel like just lateral moves at best, though, it seems like they're really trying to force a decision between crafting a weapon with a lot of raw power bonus or something with particularly strong skills attached.
Like this set of Paw Pad Orbitars I have, I'm not very fond of using them, but I can't just abandon the +6 defense bonus either. Almost anything I try to fuse it with won't carry that one over, and on the rare occasion it does, it always seems to be with one of my other best weapons and the finished product would take a massive step down in power. Curses!
I need to get into playing online more, but I'm already so slow at working through the campaign because of how badly the game's cramping my hand. Even the stand doesn't help much, it just winds up getting in the way of my hand and just makes things uncomfortable in a different way. I like the game a lot but at this rate it's gonna give me early arthritis.

Walruses, camels, bears, rabbits, tigers and badgers.
So I Got my club Nintendo cards in. Three of them, one being Pualitina (rare). I wonder exactly how rare it really is....
Everyone gets one of those. I think.
I have to say, the controls make a lot of sense once you realize they're made for combat, not really so much about actively getting around. That said, I really wish they didn't penalize for falling off edges. Most of the time that happens to me it's just an accidental dash shooting me off on a fairly straight path, but the amount of health you lose is just brutal.
Yeah, good items aren't given out. I saw a 294 with some nice percs go out online last night.

Wow, and to think I felt special for awhile. Even if what bullza2o said is true about the club Nintendo cards, it's still pretty lame...

I'm not sure why but the way he says
makes me chuckle every single time.
"Heroes always arrive late"
I was shocked the first one I encountered just how much health it took off from me. Damn thing made me paranoid about treasure boxes for the rest of the level. >_> The design is funny and all, until that
