Kid Icarus Uprising |OT| On a Wing and a Prayer

Added.
Killed my 3DS battery in one long play session this afternoon. Clearly, I'm loving it. I understand why there were control issues, as just after you get used to the control layout in chapter 3, chapter 5 makes things a little more complicated.
Still, this is a very very good game. Replaying a stage reminds you just how much is in each level and the gating/difficulty system is genius.
So far this is easily Nintendos best title on the platform

I'm waiting too. It'll probably be around 5:30 before UPS comes by here.

How many chapters are there anyway?

And even i am moderately surprised
Well, i have the US version on the way - it'll take a few more days. THAT isn't fair, though i might just buy the JPN version tomorrow anyways. #DUALSTANDS!

Me
Though I am usually one of the last stops on my drivers route. So I pretty much expect it to come late by now, but stay hopeful in being pleasantly surprised lol.
I just want to witness the craziness. I can't wait to finally get my hands on Uprising!
Bought this on a whim today, even though I was scared about the control issues many people had reported. Just finished playing after about an hour, and yeah, what a crock of shit.
The complaints on the controls I mean. Everything felt very natural and second nature to me. Even went as far as putting the intensity to 7 on the 2nd level and still cleared it on my first go without much issue. Very intense, and damn, what a rush.

After 30 mins, I haven't even played the game. I'm just listening to the music and the
little animations that play for each option.
So good!

On those PMs I sent out...I probably should have posted my friend code there as well
Well either way, those I pm'd, if you add me just send a reply and i'll send my code too.
If MP plays like SP land battles, i'm not sure how it could be confusing. Hectic sure, but not confusing...unless there are specific objectives. Either way, this is the first time i've had to let my 3DS recharge from almost running completely out of energy. Going to bouncing back and forth between this and Revelations (hopefully raid mode too).
I got:
Pit
Palutena
Medusa
EZ Cannon
Monoeye
Twinbellows

Using a staff for the first time in a first time LightvDark game was the worst idea I've ever made...
Man this game's dialog is golden! I've never laughed so much while playing a game due to dialog.

:lol :lol Thank you Palutena
See what you can fuse them together with. Some staffs have some great bonuses that can transition off to better weapons down the line.
Also, Heart-life bet fail. Getting my ass kicked now and loosing my hearts.
Six words for the multiplayer:
An incredible orgy for the heavens!
This from someone who not only dislikes the Smash Bros. Series, but also dislikes any form of online interaction of any kind sans the Battlefield series.
I even beat a team of Japanese players on my first go. So yeah, I feel like a God now.

Thiiiiis. Holy shit, I didn't think I'd get so brutalized attempting the
Reaper's Lair
On a related note, I can't help but crack this odd grin every time
I'm spotted and the Reaper theme kicks in. I love that tune so much. The dying theme though? Fuck that noise.
If you like Kid Icarus MP, you should try other games that have different than normal online modes. Stuff like Armored Core, Monster Hunter, etc. Sure those games have nothing in common with KI, but they all offer different experiences than run of the mill stuff.

Walruses, camels, bears, rabbits, tigers and badgers.
So.... I went to Gamestop today to pick up my KI pre-order. I arrived at around 11:45 AM, but I didn't actually receive it until around 1:30 PM.
There were four of us waiting for the game. It seems the Gamestop worker who was working last night's shift didn't break down the stock. Well, we all stood there waiting while the the Gamestop worker was frantically breaking down everything and trying to find the KI stock. I felt sorry for the guy, because he wasn't even suppose to work today and got called in and now was handling all the flack and work that should of been taken care of by the previous worker. But it was pretty cool talking to some people in my town excited for KI and the 3DS in general. I also got a bunch of streetpasses which was a nice bonus!!
Anyways, just got done downloading KI classic, now off to playing the game!
Edit: Sorry for bad lighting and Cell-Phone pic, I'm kind of in a hurry to actually start playing lol.

pfft, we got 30.
Did anyone else who preordered at Best Buy get their 3D Classics: Kid Icarus download code yet? The guy at my Best Buy didn't even know about it, but after calling someone else (who seemed just as clueless as he was), he said it would be sent to me via email, but I've yet to receive one... =/

Heh the messed up part for the guy is that we received the shipment with Kid Icarus on Tuesday, and our store isnt what you would call a Nintendo centric place...so that box must have been sitting there for a few days in their back room. I guess someone received them all, but never unpacked them, so there was no way he could look up the box number to just see which one had the games.

I'm only on level two, but damn... this game... so good.
yeha well, i have 30 cards so i'm not gonna list them all. but pit, dark pit, medusa, palutena and magnus were all in there.
many weapons, some items and enemys.
also there are some cards that, when you scan them poop out a cool 2D art (well in 3D but you know what i mean.) pretty funny
i'm still on the fence about ordering the cards from the club. i wait for news if they go for retail somewhere in europe.

Good luck dude!
I had the same problem with them regarding my UMvC3 costume pack. I wouldn't count on that email actually showing up in your inbox.
I just opened my game and investigated the different control schemes immediately. After trying things out for myself, I think the control issues have been blown out of proportion. At the very least, lefties shouldn't worry. Like, at all.
It's much easier for me to move Pit with the face buttons as a lefty than it is to try adapting to the righty default scheme. I feel like I need my dominant hand for touchscreen aiming. Anyway, being comfortable with face button movement also means that it feels natural to use the touchscreen-less circle pad aiming scheme, too.
In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if the circle pad aiming scheme ends up being better in the long run, due to the way the camera is handled and how you have better access to the d-pad and L button. An unexpected benefit to both major face-button movement schemes is that you'll be attacking/shooting with R, something instantly familiar to shooter fans. This is important for lefties because it's one less thing to get used to.
This also highlights what many people have complained about--being able to use the CPP for dual stick play probably would've been an amazing control option. It's puzzling that we can't, but I don't feel like I need to.
I'm totally surprised that my biggest worry about the game has dissolved the second I started playing it. I have trouble using the nunchuck in my right hand for Wii games (I played S&P2 as a righty until the final stage, if that says anything), but the way Kid Icarus: Uprising feels completely negates that awkwardness for whatever reason. Maybe the digital nature of the buttons is easier to translate to movement, especially with double tap dashing? Maybe the way aiming interacts with Pit's movement offers more control?
Whatever the case, don't hesitate on this one if you're a lefty. It's totally fine for me. It's more than fine. Omg, I can't believe I have no control issues. Omg.

I can't decide if I want this game...I don't really know what kind of game it is. It's an on-rails style "shooter" or something, right?

I got the boring set.
I've only played the first level in 2.0, 3.0, and 4.0. The ground controls were wonky at first but I'm slowly getting the hang of them. I do not like the stand though -I'm always moving when I'm playing action games, so all I do is lose my balance if I force myself to play with it.

Just got my copy. The inside box art is cool, and I'm glad NA isn't left out from getting that anymore.
My cards are Pit, Palutena, Twinbellows the Ferocious, Tiger Claws, and Stackjaw. Are my cards good?
