Just went to my usual mom and pop store to pick it up, they said they aren't receiving their shipment until friday. Bummer.
Yea, we'll see who's in it for the long haul once this thread gets moved to the Community forum.

I'm so glad this OT isn't titled "Slicey-Dicey"...sheesh Shaft.
Someone also uploaded cam footage of the Japanese with subtitles.
Gotta say though, I am so happy we got the dialogue we did.
I really wonder how lame the actual game's Japanese dialogue must be in comparison.

Welp, pre-ordered even if I don't give a shit about the 3D Classic. I wish we had more AR Cards. 
Did Treehouse handle the localisation for the anime shorts?

Goddammit!
Why do you have to know everything about this game before it even comes out? Show some patience.

Those aras~
I am patient. But I ask questions because I like to have answers. I'm not holding a gun to anyone's head.
Has this been posted yet? Siliconera's take.
Also, I just realized the one thing missing from this game: CO-OP.
Imagine if Uprising had a mode like Raid in Resident Evil Revelations. Teaming up with other players to clear out special levels together, picking up loot along the way and showcasing your gear, fighting enemies and bosses.
Damn. Would've been perfect. Something for Kid Icarus on WiiU!

Whoop! My copy just shipped from Amazon JP. Hopefully here tomorrow, probably Friday. Cannot wait for this game!
(Also, from trailers, at least, the Japanese dialogue is just as punchy/self-aware as the English version)

Man, I hope the anime shorts are on the cartridge. That'd be fantastic.
Btw, here's part of the intro, with the main theme playing.

WORST CONTROLS EVER. GAME IS A POS. /Sterling

You had to get used to them by playing the game? You should tell him that.

My game came with these cards: Pit, Palutena, Dark Pit, Dark Lord Goal, Mik and Easy Cannon. I suspect only the last three are "random."

I can't believe it's this good
Seriously, though. This is madness. A new Kid Icarus. Killer production values. Merchandise. 3D anime. Augmented reality. Included stand. Included cards. Advertising on ESPN and every channel under the sun. Multiplayer tournaments.
What. The. Fuck.
StarTropics next, kthxbie.
EDIT: Oh, add to the list of crazy that Sakurai made this.

omg I want a new star tropics, one of the best nes series hands down.
People will say "Never came out in Japan, homie," but didn't only the original Kid Icarus come out there, and Of Myth and Monsters never made it to Japan? Or am I smokin' dat dope again?
Didn't see this posted but you can get a soundtrack if your JP through club Nintendo
"Nintendo is holding one of its regular Club Nintendo promotions for Kid Icarus Uprising. A soundtrack for the game will be available for exchange at Club Nintendo. While the soundtrack normally goes for 400 points, those who buy Kid Icarus Uprising and register at the site will see the price discounted to 250 points. According to Project Sora head Masahiro Sakurai at Twitter, the Kid Icarus Uprising Music Selection soundtrack has 25 songs, totaling over 60 minutes. The audio quality is higher than that of the game, noted Sakurai."

I think that's true, yeah.
Even so, Kid Icarus actually did okay internationally, whereas I don't think Startropics did. It was also a rare software title from a somewhat obscure division of the company that deals primarily with hardware, and spearheaded by a guy called Genyo Takeda who hasn't directly been involved in development since the NES days, and hasn't even produced anything since the N64 days.
tl;dr - I don't think anyone's gonna go in to bat for a new Startropics.

Yes, it does, and you get 100 hearts per card.
I expect scans of these to be all over the place in a few weeks.

Where can I watch the anime shorts?
Not to be a downer, but does anyone think that, at least in the US, "hardcore" gamers (who likes COD and other "M" games) will simply dismiss this game because of the title having "Kid" in it? If that's not the reason then it might be due to being quite an unknown franchise to most people. A lot of my friends are Nintendo fans, but they won't get KI because they only like Mario or Zelda. Right now only one of them is getting it on Friday
Actually the first ST was pretty popular from what I can recall. It was the "weird" sequel that came as like the last or second to last released NES title while SNES was going strong (1994) and its low sales that I hear put that series down before it really got anywhere.
