Take at a Timeless Adventure
Some 25 years after the original Kid Icarus game for NES captured
the hearts and imaginations of gamers worldwide, Kid Icarus:
Uprising brings the action and adventure of this beloved series
to new heights – and new visual dimensions – on the Nintendo 3DS
system. The dark goddess Medusa and her Underworld Army have
returned, and they’ve got their s set on the heroic angel
Pit. With the aid of Palutena, goddess of light and guardian of
the human race, Pit must fend off this malevolent threat. The
richly immersive graphics of the Nintendo 3DS system offer
incredible depth as Pit battles enemies by air and by land.
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.
Features:
* 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 manoeuvres. A special control option for
left-handed players is also being prepared.
SINGLE-PLAYER MODE DETAILS:
* Introduction: The game’s story begins with the return of the
Queen of the Underworld, Medusa, and her Underworld Army. Pit, a
heroic angel, with the help of Palutena, goddess of light and
guardian of the human race, must combat the forces of darkness as
he battles Medusa and her minions by air and by land.
* Fiend’s Cauldron: An incredible new system that allows players
to customise their play experience, the Fiend’s Cauldron lets
players adjust their desired Intensity ranging from 0.0 to 9.0
for each individual Chapter. As the Intensity increases, enemies
will be more aggressive, have more energy and hit harder but
players will be able to earn more Hearts and more powerful weapon
drops by defeating them. Hearts are also used by players to
purchase new weapons. The standard Intensity is set at 2.0 but
players can precisely adjust this by 0.1 increments. In order to
increase the Intensity, players must bet by placing an increasing
number of Hearts into the Fiend’s Cauldron. If the player is
defeated during the Chapter, some Hearts will be lost and the
Intensity will automatically be lowered.
* Weapons: A wide variety of collectible weapons offers an
extraordinary a of replay value. With 9 different categories
of weapons, ranging from Divine Bows to Claws, players can
learn the unique characteristics of each weapon and determine
which is best suited for each battle and their style of play.
* Vehicles: Pit will have access to special vehicles during
certain parts of his adventure, such as the Exo Tank. Pit can use
the tank’s powerful drift ability to defeat enemies with the
tank’s ramming horn.
* Stand: Kid Icarus: Uprising uses a control scheme designed to
fit the game’s unique blend of flight, shooting and melee combat,
and offers tremendous precision, speed and depth that rewards
dedicated players. The left hand uses the Circle Pad, while the
right uses a stylus, both at the same time. Every copy of the
game will come with a free stand that holds the Nintendo 3DS at
an angle above any flat surface, and provides players with a new
kind of gaming experience.
* Circle Pad Pro: Kid Icarus: Uprising is compatible with the
Circle Pad Pro accessory, offering an alternate control scheme
for left-handed players. With the Circle Pad Pro, the player
holds the stylus in their left hand and uses the Circle Pad with
their right hand.
