Obviously something HUGE that he doesn't want to spoil.

that is all you have to say for that cliffhanger you left us with? :O
I am sufficiently hyped to see what happens post credits.
lol -- yeah, a bit. Despite just being a dinky cardboard box, it's still probably going on the shelf where I keep all the steelbooks/CEs/artbooks/etc.

I can't believe I'll be getting this game next friday..
Yep. Those have unfortunately been relegated to a big plastic storage box in my closet. The ones that haven't been lost or destroyed, anyway.
You mean this Friday, right? You say "this Friday" when you're referring to the upcoming Friday (March 23) and "next Friday" when you mean the Friday after this upcoming Friday (March 30).
Obvious post is obvious

Yeah, so could someone be kind enough to sum up all the places where we can get AR cards for this game? Here's what I have so far:
1 card via Game Informer magazine
3 cards via Club Nintendo
3(?) cards via @Gamer magazine
Feel free to add to the list. I know I'm missing some. How is everyone going to try and get all the cards?

Apparently Gamestop is having an event in April where they will give cards too? I don't know all the details.

Good reviews and impressions, kinda want but... no demo, no buy.
First I need to play to see if I like it, I'm definitely not here for Sin & Punishment 3.

I think Neiteio is going to burst a vessel in his brain and die of an aneurysm Thursday night if he keeps this up! Damn, I haven't seen a GAFfer this frothily hyped for a game in a loooong time

Then I don't think you've been paying attention ;P
LOL, wasn't that an IGN pull-quote for TimeSplitters 2 or something? "Our mouths froth in anticipation" or some such?I think Neiteio is going to burst a vessel in his brain and die of an aneurysm Thursday night if he keeps this up! Damn, I haven't seen a GAFfer this frothily hyped for a game in a loooong time
More to the point, I'm irritated FoxHimself is now in a position to to fulfill his reason for his existence on this earth (read: early Kid Icarus news), and yet, he teases and taunts.
Monster.
Lol, it was Ikaruga. Our frothing demand for this game increases. Glorious.
Wait, is this available on the U.S. Virtual Console, or just the exclusive Evil eShop that only Wizpig and other game villains can use?
A man a word.tell me when I'll PM u my address and it better not be an eyeball easy to find card

This is an issue I'm sure people have already talked about, but this is my first time in this thread.
I'm left-handed. Have any left-handed gaffers tried the game? Obviously, peoples coordination with their off hand varies, but how did you feel playing the game with the standard control scheme? Is there any other control scheme available? I never thought this could be a problem with any game, but I feel like I wouldn't have the necessary accuracy to play the game with any real finesse.

You can use the face buttons or the circle pad pro.

Just unlocked another challenge wall. Up to 240 different ones now.
And yeah, the game just keeps on going. The 12 hour claim is probably not too shabby. We'll see. Right now I'm fighting over a huge battle between two nations who are duking it out Lord of the Rings style, with flybys so close I can make out individual horsemen. I might film a short bit of it if anyone wants to see.
I'm still not the world's biggest fan of the ground controls, but at least I'm not hindered by them. Also, the vehicle combat is pretty fun.
I donated 400 hearts just to see what happened (there's a menu screen where you can just give away your currency). Looks like Palutena, which you can barely see in the distance, moves a time bit closer every time you donate. I wonder what happens when she's gone all the way.
After defeating Medusa, the end credits rolls and everyone is happy. Then motherfucking HADES comes, grabs the entire ending credits screen and starts laying down verbal smackdowns. Turns out he's resurrected Medusa just to keep Pit and Palutena busy while he's off murdering people to fill up his realm.

Sexy time?
It's been on the European eShop since a few weeks :]
Needless to say, as EVERY NES/Gameboy series, this is better than the NES counterpart in almost every aspect.
I need to get a full pimp outfit. Yeah!

FoxHimself needs to elaborate (in spoiler-tagged fashion) what surprise thing happened when he thought he "beat" the game.
EDIT: Wild guess: Orcos from "Of Myth and Monsters" (the GB Kid Icarus) is the real boss:
Eh? EH?
Have they acknowledged that game at all so far? I don't think a single of the random enemies that debuted or got make overs there have appeared in footage of this new game.
It would be funny if Uprising, a portable game, ends up paying homage to Kid Icarus, a console game, and if a WiiU console sequel ends up paying homage to Of Myths and Monsters, a portable game.
A blessing of course.
I WANT!

Almost forgot. Here's what happened.
After defeating Medusa, the end credits rolls and everyone is happy. Then motherfucking HADES comes, grabs the entire ending credits screen and starts laying down verbal smackdowns. Turns out he's resurrected Medusa just to keep Pit and Palutena busy while he's off murdering people to fill up his realm.

Face buttons for directional input is pretty much the worst possible scenario. It'd be like playing the N64 again. :/
I didn't know the game supported the CPP, but Nintendo can eat shit before I buy a not-quite-analog stick that runs on batteries.
EDIT: Neiteio, thanks for those screens. Hmm, so I'm just confused now. I thought all the attacks were done with the stylus, but I see you can use face buttons for attacks. In that case, what is the stylus doing?

Wow....That sounds crazy. I'm assuming you haven't beat it yet but do you think it's on par with Sakurai's other work?
O__O
Warning to the rest of you, that is one HELL of a revelation.
Does it result in more game? And how much more?
That's insane. Wow.
EDIT: Whoops. Missed your post higher up.
All is forgiven, my son.
