About this product
Product Information
Kid Icarus: Uprising, know as New Light Mythology: Palutena's Mirror in Japan, was the first Kid Icarus title in more than 15 years with the previous release launching in 1991. At the helm of this Nintendo 3DS game is Masahiro Sakurai, who was tasked with bringing Kid Icarus to a new generation. To do this, his team made this iteration a retelling of the Kid Icarus story rather than a sequel. The hero, Pit, who is a servant of the Goddess of Light Palutena, must defeat Medusa and her hordes before they can capture the goddess. The campaign also adds new elements, such as Pit fighting the dark force behind Medusa's resurrection and a doppelganger of himself called Dark Pit. If you're never played the previous Kid Icarus games, you'll be able to follow the story easily. While previous games in the Kid Icarus series were 2-D platformers, Kid Icarus: Uprising for the 3DS is a third-person shooter. Pit will fight in both the air and on the ground in this action game. In the air, Pit has no control over where he flies. Your only job is to blast all the enemies out of the sky before they hit you. On the ground, the title opens up as Pit is able to walk around freely. Here, he can use a mixture of both long-range and melee attacks to slay his foes. While the original game only gave Pit a bow, this Nintendo 3DS title offers players access to a variety of weapons. In addition to the bow, there are also claws, swords, clubs, and even cannons. Each weapon has its own strengths and weaknesses, and each one offers unique gameplay. As you defeat enemies, you'll gain hearts, which you can use to purchase new accessories for Pit. The game is divided into multiple chapters with each culminating in a boss fight. Each boss battle will push your skills as a gamer to the limit. These bosses are huge, often taking up both screens on the 3DS. If you're finding the battles against Medusa and the underworld too easy, you can increase the difficulty. Called Intensity in the game, there are nine different levels of difficulty. On the easiest difficulty, 0.0, the game is accessible for gamers of all skill levels. Crank it up all the way to 9, however, and you're in for the challenge of your life. By having an adjustable difficulty with many scales, gamers can tailor this Nintendo title to their ideal challenge. When you're ready to test your skills globally, you can opt for the multiplayer portion of Kid Icarus: Uprising. You can play either with your friends or with players from around the world via Wi-Fi on the Nintendo 3DS. Multiplayer is split into a number of modes. Regardless of which mode you select, the goal is still the same: destroy your opponents. The team with the most kills wins the match. Kid Icarus: Uprising is playable on any version of the Nintendo 3DS and is also one of the few games compatible with the Circle Pad Pro accessory. Kid Icarus: Uprising sold thousands of copies upon release, and this 3DS title from Nintendo brought the franchise to a new generation and featured plenty of action. Kid Icarus: Uprising is one title that deserves to be in any 3DS collection of video games.Product Identifiers

Great sound and graphics
This game isn't easy to play! The controls are very poorly thoughts out. They want you to shoot with your left trigger finger, steer Pit with your left thumb, and control your target marker with the stylus. I haven't play much but I'm hoping I can find a better set up as I have read that the controls are very easy to customize! The graphics and sound are great! I'd love to see them make another side scroll game!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Not bad, but disappointing
I loved the old Kid Icarus back in the day, and I was hoping for something that would really pay tribute to it, but this really isn't that. It plays completely different and feels a little bit like a show piece for the 3DS rather than a game made for its own sake. Control is designed to use the stylus to aim and one hand on the 3DS which is unwieldy. Luckily it comes with a stand for your 3DS which does work very nicely, but its such a different game it really doesn't do Kid Icarus justice. That said, graphics are great and it's not a bad game taken on its own. There are options to change the controls so you don't have to use the stylus but they feel imprecise.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

super funny and super fun
you get to fly around and shoot things! there are so many customization options! You can play the game at whatever difficulty you like! The voice acting is hilarious and great! Not for people who get motion sickness haha XD the only issue is that the control scheme tends to give your left hand cramps, but ah, well. It's still very fun!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

An amazing game
I had this game before and let a friend barrow it and never gave it back.To find it again was tough and even more at a cheaper price! Thank you for a great game! Would have been nice if the safe file was deleted before hand but it’s cool.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Really fun game
Surprisingly awesome game! Can't believe I missed this when it came out years ago. Glad I was able to pick it up. The controls take a few minutes to get used to, but once you do, the action is non-stop and fun. Very addictive.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Kid Icarus Uprising is a solid game with lots of personality!
This game is a 10 out of 10 in my book it has interesting characters funny dialogue and great graphics my only complaint is the controls holding it with one hand and using the stylus to move the ridicule is exhausting nevertheless one of the best titles on the 3DS!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Kid Icarus Uprising is Okay
The game itself isn't necessarily bad. The graphics are really good for the 3DS. The controls are just terrible. I write left-handed so my aim with the stylus right-handed isn't that great. This makes the dodge mechanic annoying as well. They could have made a different control scheme that was better, too bad they didn't.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Great game
I bought this for my daughter who loves the previous Kid Icarus, and is also a fan of Pit in SSB. She is in love with it! Seems like some good dialogs from what I've overheard too!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Good Game
I’ve had some extra time due to Coronavirus and decided to bust out the old 3DS. No regrets in buying this game! Everything’s really interesting in it so far.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Great game, great condition.
After playing for a good while, we found no glitches or anything of the sort. The cartridge itself is a little dirty, but doesn't seem to affect the gameplay. Overall satisfaction.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
