I really hope the Game Informer and Nintendo Power cards aren't subscriber exclusives.

Maybe Nintendo is trying to pull off a "Skylanders" with this games and its AR cards.
If Nintendo wants that Skylanders money, they need to let us buy it first.

Just got the card from my GI issue. Pretty cool, kinda surprised me how small it was.

I haven't looked at the AR cards that came with the system in a long time though so I don't know if they're actually any smaller than those.

I'm reading the Iwata Asks on this game. The way Sakurai talks about his game design process (disassembly and reassembly) makes me think of legos for some reason.

Also he seems to suck at Street Fighter IV :p.

Wait, is the 3D classic a pre-order bonus in the US? I thought it was Europe only. Or maybe that was the free promotion...

It was a bonus for register 3(?) 3DS on club nintendo in Europe.

It's a pre-order bonus for pre-ordering in Bestbuy, Amazon and Gamestop in the US.

Canada doesn't seem to get any sort of deal for Kid Icarus AFAIK. :(

I just read up on the multiplayer system. I really really hope that its both balanced and populated, because the whole "stronger weapons cost more life when you die" sounds like a really interesting system.

I don't know much about this game but I just pre-ordered it anyway. My 3DS is collecting dust and I wanted a game to play on my flight to Hawaii.

I always thought this guy looked cool and now I know his name: Belunka. From what I can tell he acts like a troop carrier, belching up baddies:

Getting mad Windfish vibes.

<3 Link's Awakening.
Just realized Belunka has big ol' gold Captain Falcon titties.

Its existence is. Who the hell knows what Sakurai's changed about the game?
It would have been a nice surprise for people who assumed that she only had that one form shown in all the media.

Yeah but pretty much EVERYTHING from the nes game is in the ds game.
THEY EVEN SHOW SPRITES OF THEM WHILE BREAKING THE 4TH WALL

I mean damn, hot springs are from the nes game too ya know :p

I was thinking I may play through it with each weapon, using only that weapon. Wonder which weapon would be considered hardest to pull that off with, and wonder if there any any trophies for such things?

Hype level is high. From what I've read & seen so far I'm already feeling that I won't be disappointed with this game at all. Looks like tons of replayability in single-player, and then there's multiplayer, and the weapon creation & fusing...

Glad this is almost here, will maybe help the jonesing for the Wii U a little. =)

A boss, especially the final boss, having multiple forms is the least unexpected thing about this game.

And yes,
I know she's not the 'final' boss.

It'll be interesting to see the reviews. I'm guessing 8.5-ish from IGN. Maybe 9. Depends on how much Rich warms up to the hand cramps. ;)
