Hot. Glad I ordered the original DS thumb slider, I think it'll do nicely with this game.

GAF IS BAAAAAAAAAAAACK I missed my KI updates.
So NOA tweeted earlier today that they're out of the free Club Nintendo AR cards. But they posted this list of how to get more cards:

Seems like they're not planning on selling stand alone packs in stores.

I've played up through Chapter 5, and wow, this game is awesome.
It's just pure, unadulterated fun, from top to bottom.
Replaying chapters at higher intensities really mixes things up, and the difficulty spikes are no joke at all.
So good.

Pfft, I only read superior American. You Norweigians contributed nothing to the world but cool folklore and funny wooden shoes.
EDIT: Wait, funny wooden shoes are Dutch, my bad.

What do you think of the ground controls now that you're that far in?
Ah, so that's where you work! One of the best Norwegian gaming sites.
Nå har jeg sykt lyst på spillet, din dritt 
Does that... does that translate to "kill American pig-dogs?"Nå har jeg sykt lyst på spillet, din dritt

English version Pit sounds like he thinks he's a cowboy.
Implementing mid-air tripping in Smash Bros 3DS/Wii U. He's probably sleeping, RIGHT NOW.

how am i supposed to know whether you suck and are an anti-nintendo biased pos if you don't post a score?

"Ok, not really. "Now I really want the/this game, you bastard. "

Kid Icarus Uprising is secretly set in the old west. >_> I think it should be pronounced like they do in the Japanese version. Saying PalutEYna is almost as bad as people saying Pokeymon. Pa-lu-teh-na.

You could always use google translate
!Sounds promising Fox-himself!
Do you happen to know if there are any bonuses for Norwegian first buyers? I wish that we got a Kid Icarus 3d classic code like other Europeans (or at least some AR cards).
Pff, no! I'd never dream of doing such a thing, I love all pig-dogs. Seriously.

Just a quick post to say I'm one hour in and everything so far is AMAZING. Graphics, 3D, sound and controls (you read it well) are all good. I was also pleased to see you can use the stand with a Nyko battery attached to the 3DS.
This game is special, no doubt about it.

Just for you, a quote from the game:
"You know, these Komaytoes sure look a lot like Metroids"
"Don't say that! That game universe has nothing to do with this gaming universe!"

A non-issue at this point. It's not easy to fine-tune the camera movements (i.e., make small adjustments), but the system works.
I haven't tried any other control style than the defaults.
Yeeeeeeeeees.
Same with me. Maybe it gets harder as the difficulty ramps up, but so far so good.

I'm gonna be able to walk into a store and buy this on Friday, right? This isn't some bullshit "shipping date, on selves two days later" setup?

Ah thats a shame that it is only at Game as I pre-ordered it from El-Kjøp. I suppose I will be fine without.
Picked it up. Beat first two chapters. Quick impression:
- There are a lot of special options. One's I didn't even read about. I havn't even had time to explore all of them
- I can confirm control with the analog stick and aiming with the face buttons. The gameplay is so frenetic, you almost need the stylus/analog. I tried some analog aiming with face button movement and it worked ok, and is a good solution for low level or train rides.
- Stylus controls on the ground were really wank at first. I didn't know what was going on. By the end of the second level I was getting used to it and at moments I was really like 'yeah!'. I cranked the sensitivity all the way up (and all the sound too). The levels are designed in way where you don't need to move the camera like crazy, most of the action happens right in front of you. Not sure how that will work with bosses.
EDIT - awesomeness.
Any question I'd be happy answer.

Ooo, didn't think of that. Shooting will be awesome in 3D. Actually, now that I think of it, in an interview with Sakurai way back when this game was first unveiled, I recall he said he deliberately made the shots kind of "arc" in their trajectory, since it would be accentuated by the 3D effect. Does that appear to be the case?

I'm reassured to hear positive impressions on the controls being something that work after one learns them.
I'm optimistic, though I have a bad feeling a whole lot of people who play this are going to throw it at the wall after five minutes and say it's terrible, aka, the Destructoid review. (Jim Sterling, I know, but in this case I think it represents how a lot of average gamers will react to it.)

One thing I'm not clear on from watching it being played... does your orientation only turn when you flick the stylus, or do you begin to slowly turn anyway when you reach the edges of the screen?

Dammit, I'm finding a way to get this with a Circle Pad Pro (Left handed) on Friday! I'll probably go pre-order today to get the free KI Classic E-Shop download. That Metroid quote from FoxHimself is simply brilliant, the Nintendo Videos are awesome, love the commercial, Out-of-this-world music, and *swoon* Sakurai.
Bravo Nintendo, you have won my wallet over again.

Yeah. Unless I somehow luck into finding a CPP at a local Gamestop (doubtful) I'm going to be faced with either waiting to have it shipped from store.nintendo.com or playing KI initially with a difference control setup THEN having to learn different controls when the CPP arrives. Kind of a shit situation to be in, honestly.
