Boo at 3D classic and this having the same home menu music!
NWR has a Super Guide of AR card scans. I wonder if Nintendo frowns upon this?
Gf was given a 3ds as a gift so I'm grabbing this through gamefly. If the writing/voice acting is like what is shown in the quicklook all the way through the game I am expecting to send it back the same/next day due to being driven crazy by it.
Well wouldn't say the voice acting/writing is cringe-worthy.
Its going for a Sat morning feel or something more light-hearted, and it knows it. Now if they were trying to play it seriously, I would think it comes off as cringe-worthy
But that's me anyhow.

I think I'm getting the hang of online matches.
Japanese players might be at an advantage with more streetpass oportunities and gems to craft better weapons. Regardless, it's starting to make more sense to me now.
(I'm getting absolutely destroyed online though)
Rock on for giving it a chance!

I've been proven wrong countless times so why not? Best recent example was Asura's Wrath. Thought it was going to be a steaming pile of nonsense, but it ended up being a worthwhile hilarious in both the best and worst ways mountain of planet punching nonsense.

Game really comes alive, every moment is basically life or death. Just done the first level, and the mini boss was actually hard!
Love all the options in the game, currently using Orbitars but think I'll move to something more ranged.
Won my first multi-player game, it seems a bit too hectic though. I think a in-flight battle/co-op game would work well. Quick match-making though which is thumbs up; and team play works well.
In line with the SP - the MP is very quick. Overall Kid Icarus is just an incredibly fast paced rpc/shooter/pisstake
Love it!
I just got the email as well. Odd since the price on the site isn't any lower. Oh well!
I only paid $19.99 of it in the first place because of Amazon credit, so now it is down to just $9.99. Woohoo!

I'm glad I'm not the only one who felt the Voice work was terrible.

The refund was due to their "Pre-order Price Guarantee", so that's why it's still the same price online. Regardless, I'm in the same boat as you due to the Amazon credit! Might have to treat myself to a copy of Xenoblade now!

Oh no I did - just intensity 9 is very very difficult
Can't wait to play the rest, I just like to complete as I go
PS: On Multiplayer, dead embaressing if you become Pit and...fall off the map in 2 seconds and thus lose
Ha, ha, ha.
Btw, playing without stand and using ABXY to move + stylus.
It's perfect.
Voice acting and writing is genius.
Obligatory "Wonder why Nintendo usually makes MarioZeldaZeldaMario? here's the answer".
This is the game Nintendo fans needed, a new "Star Fox".
But no dual analog for the CoD audience and no MarioZelda in it makes it a little harder for it to break through, apparently.
It just can't be beat mixed with the free download of the 3D Classics version on top of it all.

Totally. The challenge of Uprising seems miniscule compared to the original.
(still on about intensity 6)
They had the difficulty at 2.5 out of 9. It's been easy so far because 2.5 is still easy mode, even if he bumped it up a bit from the default 2.0.
The highest I've tried is 4.8, which is already getting pretty crazy. I'm sure the game's brutal if you want to go all the way up to 9.0.
There are some reasonable complaints that I can understand about this game, but lack of difficulty isn't one of them.

If it's too easy on 9, they must be gods.
Also I thought the voice actors and script totally nailed it and love the constant banter, (I loved it in Xenoblade too). I don't know, maybe it's because I don't have a super negative response to anime. Though, I didn't even feel like it was anime-esque dialog.

who the fuck am i playing when i chose nearby? bots? it says local and when i chose it the game starts instantly but lags hard i thought the MP was just not good but when i play far away it is way smoother. this makes no sense.

hand cramps maybe, i don't think it's that bad.
EASY? are you kidding me, if you play on 7+ and think it is easy you are damn good at games and i know GB aren't.
the dialog is very funny and not anime esque, not even by a long shot.
edit: shit i double posted, i wanted to edit.
Agreed on difficulty. If the game has flaws, difficulty is not one of them. It can be very easy or completely brutal if need be.
Doubt Sakurai added the necesary hooks for patches to work.
Also, I think they didn't want Dual Analog in, I mean there is a scheme that lets you move with the face buttons and target with the pad. The fact that they didn't bother to extend this scheme to the cpp says a lot.
The way 3DS is displayed in video tutorials makes me even more doubtful they will add a second analog stick in 3DS XL.
Edit: though now I think about it, it happened in several games to see a GBA unit during tutorials, that looked weird when playing on a GBA SP.

I got this yesterday and ended getting pretty far in the game. I also yried out online and YOU CAN ACTUALLY PLAY IT!
FUCK YEA!!!
Anywayz: Flight section are awsome but probably like most (haven't read through all of the thread yet) the ground sections really start to hurt my hand. (the one holding the 3DS) but the ground controls are cool they just hurt my hand. Had to quit after awhile and switched to playing 3D Classics Kid Icarus. Thats a pretty good game to. Maybe I will finally beat it now that I got some save functions up in here.
The game has the best dialog of any game I have ever played. Seriously the dialog is half the game lol. I really hope this does well and they do a sequel on Wii U or another 3DS one. I really hope this can be tirned back into a franchise and isn't a one off.
AND ONLINES PLAYABLE! How is such a thing even possibe in a Sakurai game?
Also: Why can you move the menu items around if you can't permanetly change their location? I wanna change their location since I can move them around...lol.
Also: Also: My AR Cards, let me show you them:
Pit
Palutena
Monoeye
Dark Pit
Dark Lord Gaof
Fortune Bow
+Power of Flight from Game Informer.

Interesting...if I get any hand cramps at all they're in my stylus hand
The World Ends With You has about that may if you include all difficulties at all levels.

So what is the verdict on this game for lefties? Especially without a CPP?
PhoenixDawn

Sakurai said in an interview that I read in Nintendo Power that they messed around with dual stick control with the CPP a few times but that it came too late in their development so they didn't want to just add it in and have to retest the whole game with that control mechanic so they just stuck with the 1 stick + touch screen input method.

I got disconnected my first online match, made me lol and think of smash brawl
Glad to hear it's good though, I only tried one time, been hooked on single player

Yea I was worried it would be more like the Nintendo Video clips, but it's better than that. It's still walking the line between cheesy and terrible but it pulls it off most of the time.

I'm a lefty with no CPP. I've been all right with the standard stylus controls. It started out kind of awkward, but it's been getting better. (And I couldn't stand any of the alternate schemes.)

Well, the stand seems like a weird concession. Why make a new piece of plastic instead of using a pre-existing one?
Yeah, there's a book in the bottom corner of the mode select that plays 11 videos that run through almost everything.
Part 2 of Palutena's Revolting Dinner is out, dudes. It replaced Medusa's Revenge
Dammit. Hope they put the episodes on the shop so I can rewatch in 3D.

What? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. But we have 2 other shitty videos. Why take Medusa's Revenge out!
Many thanks. How the hell did I miss that.
Morning. KI:U is awesome. That is all.
The flight segments are GREAT. The on-foot stuff isn't nearly as bad as I feared. The controls are a bit weird (and I suggest turning the touch screen sensitivity sliders way up for all modes). Star Fox ASSault this is not.
Grinding out hearts, higher scores, and crazy loot is going to be VERY fun. And then fusing the weapons for even better ones.
Played through the first two stages, the first stage at the default of intensity level 2 (stupid easy), then replayed stage one at intensity level 5 (which granted access to a new room with a new boss-type battle and treasure chest), and almost got my ass handed to me. The stage one boss went down when I had NO health left. Good stuff. The beefed up gear I got after finishing the stage on intensity level 5 was more than worth the effort!
No interest in the multiplayer, but I'm happy to see the panel unlock system of SSB return!

I've been very surprised by the dialogue. Very well done, the trailer led me to believe it was going to be complete shit.
BTW, are there any perks for playing on FFA vs Light vs Dark? Seems like you get good gear either way, and my current setup (high dmg black club & black hole combo) leads itself more to teamplay, not to mention it's a heck of a lot more fun.

I played a long time on missions and tried the multiplayer today.
After the first battle, I already got a weapon more powerful than what I was able to have in solo. Also with the time spent playing on 5.0 and higher, I wasn't lost in internet battles, hoping to play with others members here.

They are price matching Best Buy's $30 price.
