Seriously? What the hell

I really hope he means Origins 3DS... if that's out yet.


Rayman 3D was an awful port. So much lack of polish ugh

 

[Darryl]

Seriously? What the hell

Rayman Origins 3DS !

Really loving the dialogue between Pit and Paluntena. She sounds more like she's giving him sister-ly advice than anything. One of my favorite quotes: "MONSTERS KILL PIT! RUN PIT RUN"

I haven't heard anything from the actual gameplay, but if it's similar to those anime shorts, I can imagine it'll be hilarious.

 

[Thoraxes]

I found a ton of articles confirming it, but are we sure that Kid Icarus comes with the stand in NA? I can't find any mention of it on Amazon's or Gamestop's product pages for the game, which seems weird to me. You'd think the try to spin it as being a great deal or something.



Okay thanks, I figured as much but was just kind of dumbfounded that it wasn't advertised more. Thanks!

[Sinthetic]

Can't bloody wait much longer.

 

[UncleSporky]

Can the OP be updated, since this is being used as an OT anyway?

 

[Prinny]

I'm afraid this game will destroy my touch screen. Especially when playing online.

 

[DSmalls84]

Got my preorder in today so I could get the download for the original. Sort of worried about the controls, but I guess if I'm ok with Snake Eater 3d sans frankenstick I'll be able to get used to the scheme for this game.

 

[Wizpig]

Sooo...

60 FPS? both in 2d and 3d? any official info on this?

edit. another question! is every single PAL copy of the game bundled with a stand?

 

[kSt]

Thanatos Rising Part 1 is available in the UK.

 

[Sniper McBlaze]

About the Gamereactor review: A pretty shitty review translated from the german magazine to swedish if I recall correctly. I'm not 100% sure, but I think they said that in the air Kid Icraus is pretty much a shooter, but it's on the ground that it truely shines. They also praised the different weapons in the game.

 

[Busaiku]

edit. another question! is every single PAL copy of the game bundled with a stand?

Pretty sure all copies everywhere come with the stand and 6 cards.

 

[Wiz]

SOOOOOOO Hyped.

But I need to get some $$ for this. Hoping to get it on launch.

 

[Exterminieren]

It will be.

This thread isn't technically allowed to be up until Friday, but no one's taken action over it, so I'll update the OP then.

 

[Rootbeer]

I let my Nintendo Power sub lapse a while back, but I want the next issue that has the Kid Icarus cards inside.

Anyone know when it'll start appearing on stands?

 

[dc89]

Incredible OT.

I stopped subscribing when Amazon stopped doing those "1 year for $4" sales.

That's how they lasso'd me in to begin with. BTW, ever seen Nintendo Power's website? They have virtually zero web presence... what kind of long-term strategy is that?

Told you guys there was a no stylus control option.

 

[Detox]

Where do I find it?

 

[Jacobs]

Where do I find it?

In the Nintendo Video app, but it's not too interesting.

Repost from the GAMEdoom thread (by PaulLFC):

No Kid Icarus either...

Nintendo has confirmed that 3DS game Kid Icarus: Uprising won't be available to buy in GAME and Gamestation.

Its list of shops selling the 3DS title does not include the struggling high street retailer - thought to be facing administration.

Uprising will be available to buy on the high street from the following shops: Argos, Asda, Blockbuster, Tesco, Dixons Stores Group, GameStop, HMV, Sainsbury's, Smyths Toys and Toys R Us.

Online, you can get it from Amazon, The Hut, JohnLewis.com, Littlewoods.com, Play.com, zavvi.co.uk, and "most good games retailers", Nintendo said.

You can pre-order from Amazon.co.uk, GameStop, Littlewoods.com, Play.com and zavvi.co.uk. It launches on Friday, 23rd March.

The news comes as no surprise: GAME failed to stock many of Nintendo's 2012 games, including The Last Story and Mario Party 9, and the Nintendo distributed Tekken 3D: Prime Edition.

Where are my pre-order bonus AR cards, Nintendo?!

Somebody needs to ask if a demo will be available for this.

cooool he answered my question

 

[Oni Link 666]

Mine too.

Some things I saw

- the single player is about 12 hours long
- no MK7 communities
- there is no "no stylus mode"

 

[Chesskid1]

I think it's usually 1 or 2 days. I'm pretty sure they use overnight shipping.

Yeah, I guess I should've mentioned that after watching the video. I didn't notice anything being said in there about it, and after reading through a lot of the comments in here, I think a lot of people definitely thought that was the case. The only "surprise" in that video was that you can choose to also use the d-pad if you wish.

wait, there's no "no stylus mode" or is that a typo?

I clicked around and couldn't find mention of that. I see mentions that it controls well but is uncomfortable. Personally I use the Mario Kart wheel grip and that might help; I'm still interested in details about a no stylus mode.

Well there's the Japanese video which makes no mention of it, and https://twitter.com/#!/RichIGN/status/180047188230017024

Edit: I should clarify then, no dual analog.

French commercials.
I like how they say "From the creator of Super Smash Bros. "

 

[Ragus]

12 hours?

Count me fucking in.

 

[Lord_Byron28]

12 hours is a lot longer than I was expecting. Someone should ask if it lives up to Sakurai's previous work or not?

 

[Franklinator]

12 hours is longer than I thought it'd be

@RichIGN Is there a stylus-free control scheme?

@Hamblasto Not that I have seen (but a ton of unlockable stuff so... hard to say) - there is a pad-free scheme though.

 

[lordy88]

Is it bad that I'm excited this to come out just because it means we'll be getting Smash Bros Wii U sooner?

 

[BowieZ]

12 hours? So it's going to take me about 20 hours then.

 

[Kunan]

12 hours before getting into replayability? wow.

 

[Oni Link 666]

I guess there really is a stylus-free mode after all.

@RichIGN I ask because there was this clip (which I can't understand) where it looks like the stylus isn't used. http://youtu.be/fu3Q-9t2JdI

@Hamblasto Holy crap. I misread one of the options screens. Okay, so yes there is LOL. D'oh! =)

@RichIGN Does the game really have a no stylus mode? If it does, is it any good?

@Ninjashroom5 Ack! It does. Just went back to double-check. I will test though I don't think it will change my opinion too much. We'll see!

 

[Conor 419]

Multiplayer looks insane, we gotta get some 3v3 gaf tournaments going.

I hope we'll have. It seems something VERY different. And awesome.

 

[Conor 419]

I say we get about 99 people signed up, and randomly assign them into squads of three. Give everyone a weeks training in the mountains and then let the tournament begin!

 

[Neon_Icarus]

As expected the English dub is quite different:

Japanese hot spring scene:

Palutena: It's ok to take your clothes off. I'm not watching.

Pit: You are watching, aren't you?

Palutena: I told you I'm not...

 

[Jarsonot]

"a ton of unlockable stuff" makes me happy. I'm so looking forward to this! I'm definitely susceptible to that dangling carrot of meaningless unlocks!
