I'll second him, this is the best music I've heard in a Nintendo game since Galaxy 1/2. It's very well done. The menu theme reminds me of the beautiful music from Crystal Chronicles (GCN version).
Fantastic music.
Figured as much, a friend of mine is a lefty (is this the correct way to say it?) and he told me that he won't be able to control the character with the right analog. So the ccp left handed option is useless in this case.
Some poster have said in this thread that there is an option to use the face buttons to target (XYAB) but it's slow and most fast paced parts of the game (which is most of it) do not work well
It's more necessary to aim fast than move fast. The only different with the face buttons is you have to double tap them to run. I could never get used to it in Smash Bros Brawl, but others did so I don't think it will be a huge problem.

Maybe the new one is, but the old Pit from the NES days looks totally different.
Ordered more than a week ago, paid last Friday, got order confirmation on Tuesday evening, order was shipped on Wednesday morning. Nothing today, but if it arrives tomorrow, I`ll be fine.

Superb game, very slick. So highly polished. Multiplayer is an absolute blast. It's like Smash Brothers and Dissidia and Virtua On all had a baby.
Anyway, what does Offering in the Vault do? It says "Offer hearts up to the goddess. There's no reward for an offering, but it will bring the goddess closer in spirit!"
Also my AR doesn't work. Nothing appears at all, just keeps searching. Note that AR games and Nintendogs are fine..

Are you trying to give me a heart attack?
Ok, played the first two stages. To all lefties: get the CPP. Really, tried the face button layout...meh. CPP works like a charm, buuuuuuut it really is a big fat learning curve.
at first, shit doesn't works AT ALL. Fucking shit!
In the second stage i could almost feel my brain bending in the way the game work.
"hmmm....now it works...not great but...yeah that works, but man it's complicated!"
i went all super nuts and raised the difficult bar from 2 to 2.5 (awww yeah) managed that that pretty well.
had to stop (dinner time) but the way the control in this game feels reminds me really my first time i played a real 3D game (mario 64). It's strange and new in the beginning, but i can see me mastering the shit out of this. Even as leftie!
btw: the stand is for loosers! :3 why did they even add it? I have legs, a belly and two hands. Ah well, whatever floats your boat.
EDIT:
YEAH, the music is fuuuuuuuucking awesome!
and also, one joke AFTER ANOTHER! Dammit Pit! Get out of the sky and one the stage!
see you on wii u!

Well, just ordered a Circle Pad Pro. This game is going to cost me $70ish all told.

Higher intensities -- and playing/winning online matches.
Speaking which, there's a serious risk to ratcheting up the difficulty.
Even on the first level, it takes almost 3,000 hearts to even attempt Intensity 9, which is a significant amount, and every time you die, you lose hearts and the Intensity level drops.
Therefore, in order to get the max benefit for raising the Intensity to 9, you need to beat the level without dying.
Considering some of the levels I've played so far, that's in-fucking-tense.

I am extremely jealous of all of the UK/EU folks who can simply order AR cards from their Club Nintendo. Damn it.

How would you compare Intensity 9.0 to the difficulty levels in Sin and Punishment 2, at least for the on-rail segments?
I acknowledge this is very difficult to gauge.
I acknowledge this is very difficult to gauge.
I'm looking forward to hearing about some awesome weapons people get at the higher difficulties. That may make me jealous enough to have to try and tackle them myself. =)
Edit: also, is there any indication of the highest difficulty you've beaten each level? You know, for bragging rights. =)
I highly doubt it's anything near it.
Ask me next week, when the whole gaming system is burned into my long term- and muscle-memory. Fucking intense game.
My guess is if you give it some many thousands of hears you get a piece of artwork or a new weapon or something small.
Just had this very problem, and realized it was because the auto white balancing of the 3DS camera. If the cards appear yellow and not white, then try facing the camera at a wide shot of your environment and trying again. It works instantly when done right.
I just tried the first level on 9.0. It's not as bad as you guys will think. I got pretty far into it and got hit down to level 8. The last boss was intense as hell and I was constantly using power-ups. I'm getting pretty damn good at the game. On-ground is like RE4, it's all how you line yourself up with the enemies.
TIP: Switch your power-up to 'up' on the D-pad and not down. It's closer to the thumb-stick and much easier to quickly power-up during a boss battle.

Oh, for Christ's sake.
The title is not a judgement upon the game's quality. It is a title for a game featuring an angel (Wing) and a Goddess (Prayer). It is also a well known phrase that IN ABSOLUTELY NO WAY refers to the game's quality.
Honest to God, how frigging defensive do you have to be to think that the guy who spent hours on the OT, and then lost all the images and banners and had to make do with Paint just to get the topic up on time, is trying to diminish and insult the game?
I have the game. I think it is, thus far, excellent, and I am very much looking forward to playing more. I still think this is the best available title, and says more about the game than crap like "Prepare to meet the light!" does.
You wanted to dictate what the OT should have been, you should have claimed it. As it is, I have claimed it, I have put it together, and I have used a title that I like. I have made it clear to you that it is not an insult, and you STILL haven't stopped banging on about it. If it does get changed, it'll be for a good reason, and not because you think that the game may get its feelings hurt.
Everyone else dropped the topic 50 pages ago. I suggest you do the same.
Not sadistic enough tonight? :3I like the game (it's a typical Sakuuuuurrraaaaaiii! game full of content) but man my left thumb hurts after playing a while. Really wish the CPP gave me twin pad control
But, let's be serious. On one hand i think dual stick wouldn't work...on the other hand...they included analog + face-buttons.
strange!
hey, is it correct taht this game has invite feature like MK7?
i'm going to play it a few days right handed and try a few diff remapped controls, if i just totally suck i'll pick up the CPP. that's my plan, no need to jump the gun imo.

Mine shipped this morning too
Nothing better than free release-day shipping...!
I already have a CPP. Too bad I'm righty, I guess I won't need it.

I refuse to order a CC Pro and wait a whole week when I should be able to just walk into a store and get one. I'm probably just going to tough it out go righty or accept the limitation of movement the face buttons provide.
Wish me luck!
6.5 intensity seems to be just right for me, if I want it to remain fun. I've done a couple of stages on level 8.0 and they were beaten, but uncomfortably.
I've fused such a bad ass weapon, I think it's called the Needle Palm. I still have a lot to learn, but I've got 40 Achievements and 30 Idols already.
4 hours playtime already? My eyes hurt.

Well at least I'm not alone.
Let me know how much better the CC Pro is shadyspace when you get it. I should have an idea of how bad the controls are for Lefties then, and if it is a huge step-up then I might pick one up.

Like you said pre-edit, it'll be until next week until I can lol. But I'd still rather wait for the CPP to arrive than have an inferior experience with this seemingly great game.

I barely have a handle on intensity 4 right now, i've got a ways to go.
I feel the need to reiterate that this game is indeed awesome, I need to find more weapon types, more importantly I want some claws!

You get 2 booster packs each with 6 cards, they should be random. Annoying that you can order them only one double pack at a time (at least in .de).
Haven't used it once. I do use my tablet stylus though for longer play sessions,
Something like this

It's great.
I like it a lot actually, I may not use it with all games but it makes this game easier to play, while keeping a better focus on 3D as nothing moves.
Thanks for the replies. I'm asking because I'll use the Circle pad Pro, and I don't know how well both acessories will work together.
Hell, I don't even know if I can use them at the same time.

Pit or Palutena?
Ugh, same here. I didn't realize the controls could be remapped whatsoever, so I'm slightly regretting buying the CPP already, but whatever. This game better be worth it.

I still have to wait till tomorrow to grab my copy.
I kinda want the 3D Classic, but Best Buy Canada isn't doing that deal.

Will you please stop caring about what the thread is titled? A mod already told us to quit that bullshit in another thread.
Annndddd... Amazon shipped by copy.
I'm pretty surprised I ended up ordering this because hype was about 0 about a month ago, but I saw some stuff I really liked. Plus I had a $10 off code and it seems like the online could be fun with some of you guys.Ok more detailed:
about bash moves
pit: hmmm.. This move sounds familiar
pal: wasn't it a game called "mega bash sister"
pit: hey nah, it was "super smash bros"!
pal: hmm..yeah...whatever
