Designed by Masahiro Sakurai – creator of Kirby™ and Super Smash Bros.™ – Kid Icarus: Uprising features a vividly redesigned game world and a new look for Pit and other returning characters
Pit is unable to fly on his own, but upon receiving the “Power of Flight” from Palutena, he can soar swiftly through the skies for about five minutes at a time. After each stage’s initial air battle, Pit enters into ground-based skirmishes
While Pit is battling in the air, the action unfolds like a dynamic guided shooter. Yet when he’s facing enemies on land, it handles like a third-person shooter. Throughout the sprawling adventure, players gather numerous distinctive weapons and collect treasures
Beyond the deep single-player adventure, Kid Icarus: Uprising also offers a thrilling and unique take on multiplayer battles. Two teams battle against each other, whittling away their point totals as each team member is defeated. When one team loses all its points, the last member defeated is revived as the powerful Angel Pit. If the other team can track him down and defeat him, they will win the match, introducing a new ebb-and-flow dynamic to multiplayer battles
The game includes AR Card compatibility. Using the built-in 3D camera on the Nintendo 3DS system, the game recognizes countless specially designed AR Cards, with animated game characters popping up in 3D on the game screen and even battling each other when two cards face off
The game’s simple, intuitive play control has players hold the system in their left hand, while the right hand uses the stylus on the touch screen for targeting. Their left thumb on the Circle Pad controls Pit’s movements, and the L Button fires ranged weapons and unleashes melee attacks. The controls are simple enough to be grasped quickly, but offer layers of depth and strategy for advanced maneuvers. A special control option for left-handed players is also being prepared

Best 3DS Game So Far
Kid Icarus: Uprising took me a bit by surprise. When I watched all the trailers, it didn't look that interesting but when I actually played it, my opinion on this game has shifted. Kid Icarus: Uprising is not only a thrill-ride that anyone can enjoy but it's also one of best games that 3DS has to offer.

One of greatest things about Kid Icarus: Uprising is its writing. It's very witty, clever and funny that'll make you chuckle with all the Nintendo references that Pit & other characters throw at the player. However, sometimes, they talk to much so it could be distracting in a middle of a heated battle.

Visuals and 3D effect for Kid Icarus: Uprising is brilliant and it is, in my opinion, the best game in terms of those two aspects. There's nothing much said about here because if you're looking for a game that fullly take advantage of the 3D effect, look no further.

Gameplay is split into two segments: air battle and land battle. Air battle acts like an on-rail shooter, much like StarFox 64. It's like a roller coaster ride that's both thrilling and exciting. The land battle, on the other hand, isn't that fun, mainly because of its controls. It feels clunky for some reason and it becomes uncomfortable when you play land battle for a long period of time.

I easily recommend this game to any 3DS owners because this game is both satisfying and thrilling to play. This game fully, and I really mean fully, take advantages of the capabilities of 3DS system and it's perhaps the perfect game designed for 3DS.
