Kid Icarus Uprising |OT| On a Wing and a Prayer

If the info is out there somewhere, maybe add the voice actors to each character?

The visuals and music are incredible. Just one question, does the 3D effect noticeably adds jaggies to the game like Resident Evil Revelation, or not?

Loved the 3D in the Medusa short, really awesome. Only saw some of the video by FoxHimself, can't wait! The dialogue, so good.
Yep the dialogue is great. The game seems crazy good. Have you had any real problems with the controls?

It really hurts my hand after a while. Feels very cramped. I'll have a go with that ridiculous stand later on.
The on-foot stuff isn't really ideal either, but I'll have to play more before I draw any conclusion really.

Must resist urge to watch...
I did peek in a bit - sliding the intensity down, eh? ;-)
Have you tried higher intensity settings? How's the difficulty so far?
These are indeed good deals. Have seen KI for 40 so far but that's only for pick-up (otherwise you'll have to add 4 for p&p). Maybe MM will have some deals.

Palutena's all seeing eye isn't working right because of
haha what.
Also, there pretty much is no fourth wall in this game.

I'll have a go. Hold on!
Haha, you did great playing it while holding it lol
Looks and sounds really great though. Just awesome.
Can someone please post a definitive answer on all the available control schemes?
We need input from both righties and lefties on each configuration in terms of functionality and comfort.
The game is only a week away, and I still feel like I'm in the dark. Is there face button movement for lefties who don't want to mess with the CPP? How does it work? Is it a decent alternative? A preferred alternative? Is the stylus-free control option viable? Which is most comfortable? Which is most effective? Etc., etc.

It looks so good! Palutena's dialogue at the end was great.

I can see how the on-foot controls arn't really hard but different, especially camera turning.
The enemies are wild and varied but actually fit this kind of game considering you have so
many weapon options and the original game was like that anyway.
With the amount of options, it looks like the start of the game is the lowest point till you find
your groove with the game.
Going to be playing this for a looooooooooooooooooooong time.

Watch in their review: Multiplayer in Kid Icarus is a horrible experience, unbalanced, and we keep getting beaten by NeoGAF members. We cannot recommend this at all.
OK, I totally watched that video. Want so badly.
Is the best character Nintendo's ever unleashed for anything ever. :lol

There we go. Three online wins out of three! I'm noting that IGN-Rich got 0 points in two matches ;P
It's as hectic as Smash Bros. I summoned a huge Monty Python-esque foot from the sky and made it stomp on people. No "communities" though. You can play with friends or with randoms and that's pretty much it.
You can use the gear you have from the single player though, and the more powerful the weapon you use, the more of the team's health bar will be drained when you die.
The on-foot controls are a problem, I must say. The game is screaming for a second analoge stick. I'll bust out the Circle Pad Pro when I get to work on monday.

Can you play with friends on your team against randoms?
Or are friend matches and random matches kept separate?

Unknown. Don't have any friends with the game yet.

there are metroids as enemies???
WTF

A few hours with the controls and it starts to click. A couple more and it starts to feel really good. A couple more and you start to realize Sakurai's genius--it becomes so intuitive and indispensable to success in the game. Go above intensity 7 and there's no WAY you could control the reticle fast enough with dual analog.

Always has been in the series. These ones even attack the same way
You can choose lefty mode.

What the. You can offer some hearts to the goodesses and you won't get anything back. That's the weirdest menu option ever. "Hey, would you like to throw away all your money for no good reason?"
This is exhibit A on Sakurai's crappy enemy design.
Exhibit B is all of Subspace Emissary.
Maybe unlockables, or grindan hearts or something, idk.
This game feels like the one which will define 3DS. It looks fantastic, and more importantly it looks original.

They were in the NES game. Sakurai didn't come up with them.

I have a hard time believing Sakurai's the one modeling the enemies in the game
Besides, the "Metroids" are in the first game as well.
That said, this game has a fuck ton of different enemies. It's pretty crazy, and many of them are indeed of terrible design, sorry to say. Oh well.
Seriously, everything about this game seems wonderful, but whether or not the control options will be acceptable remains a mystery.
I'm extremely lefty (unlike others who claim to adapt fine with Wii controls and whatnot), but I'm buying this game Day 1. I plan to post my thoughts on the controls for those who'd like another perspective.
We're asking for elaboration.
