  • Remember when Nintendo took a dead franchise like Kid Icarus and decided to revive it in massive fashion for their new handheld? Well, I don't think Nintendo does, but I do! Lets talk about Kid Icarus: Uprising for the 3DS.

      As someone who played this game three years in a row, almost every day, I would say no, it depends on how you hold the stylus and if you grew up playing a lot of ds and 3ds games that used the stylus cause then you would get used to holding the stylus and 3ds and feel no pain at all, at least that’s how it worked for me

    I loved how they managed to actually make memorable the motherly-bossy relationship between Pit and Palutena. The "loyal knight devoted to his king/queen/Godess" is a really common trope, but they got to make you really feel how much Pit loves Palutena and is sincerely commited to her cause without it becoming too cliche or so idealized that it loses its humanity.

    • @Shaes_Projects
      @Shaes_Projects 3 роки тому +57

      I really like that too, the way they interact is really endearing and fun. It’s probably helped by the constant dialogue in this game that doesn’t solely rely on cutscenes so you enjoy the characters more. It reminds me a bit of platinumGames projects with the over the top set pieces. I feel like the guidances toned down the bossy side of Palutena and focused more on a more maternal side in a way. Obviously these are older tropes, nothing new, but it’s done so well that even with them constantly interacting, it never gets boring.

      Is very funny as well knowing Dark Pit reflect all the stuff Pit tend to supress since he is very loyal to his Godess but is obviously there are certain stuff he disagreed or wished to do by his own (such as fly whit no help) all this tiny stuff make him a very complex likeable character and not only a mindless servant that Palutena uses all the time

      Okay, jokes aside, he's not "repressed emotions" Pit. He's inverted Pit. Pit's PRIORITIES are switched, but not really his morality. Pit's Priorities make him a perfect soldier, but inverted, they make Pitoo the perfect individualist.

    The story in this game is wild. After about 13 chapters you fight Medusa and win the day but then Hades shows up as the main threat and the game just kinda keeps going. You fight aliens, then there’s a story about Palutena screwing over humanity, Pit hecking *dies*, there’s a chapter where you play as Dark Pit essentially diving into hell to save him, and then we cap it all out with an over the top anime battle in a Gundam. Iconic.

    Kid Icarus: Uprising is legitimately one of, if not the best, written game I’ve ever seen. The story constantly goes from one point to another, yet it never feels convoluted, and everything feels like it fits. The humor is legitimately funny, and every major character gets at least a few funny lines. Yet it knows when to tone down the humor in serious moments like Magnus explaining to Pit what happened in the 3 years Pit was gone. Uprising is an absolute masterpiece, and even though a sequel would be nice, it ends in such a great note that I feel like it doesn’t even need a sequel. 10/10, Samurai truly graced us with a Godlike (Pun intended) masterpiece.

      But I think the word you're looking for its underexploited, there's so much potential that hasn't been explored yet, but that potential is not even within the Kid Icarus franchise, no its on the Sora team.
      They could literally pick any other franchise and pull an Uprising on it, buuuut... Smash happened.

    Kid Icarus: Uprising is fantastic! I'm lucky enough to never have any problems with the controls. I used both hands to hold the console and just a couple of fingers to hold the stylus and press the buttons. One of the things that really stood out to me was that even though I watched the trailer like 100 times I was completely surprised about the twist half way through the game because it wasn't spoiled in the trailer. The game is a blast to play and the story is a ton of fun. I also think the soundtrack is also fantastic.
    It's a shame that we'll likely never get a true port or sequal but at least it was fun on its own

      I’ve noticed that too, like the guidances in smash. It’s like people are getting more interested in these characters or at least showing more love for kid Icarus long after the release of Uprising. Hopefully we can get a port or new entry. Out of all 3DS games, this one really deserves an HD overhaul.

    Gods and goddesses, I love Kid Icarus: Uprising. The gameplay, the graphics, the story, the characters, the humor, the content - it’s my absolute favorite 3DS game.
    A lot of people complain about the controls being painful to use, but I decided to forgo the stylus and use the control pad to aim instead. And believe it or not, I’ve trained myself to perform well at the highest Intensities with that control scheme. I may not be able to adjust my aim during an Air Battle, but I won’t be getting early arthritis.
    I should also mention that I have at least half of the game’s script memorized, not just because I’ve logged thousands of hours of playtime, but because the writing and voice acting is simply awesome.

So of course, Uprising's reveal had me stoked, and I'm so glad the game managed to kick ass despite not playing like the first two games. The humor could've easily gone wrong, but the script manages to delight throughout. It's just so damn good!

    Kid icarus Uprising is one of my favorite games, I got obsessed with it at the time, it was the perfect showcase for the 3DS, the perfect game to justify all of the gimicks included.
    I do have a problem with the difficulty system though... in which if you want to beat all the levels in the highest difficulty (required for an achievement) you not only have to beat them but without dying in each level, since dying reduces the difficulty. So you either have to continue in the lower difficulty and waste your time, or get out of the level and try again, but it also costs a lot of hearts to even attempt it, so it is very possible to run out of money just by making attempts. Overall I found it very frustrating and I wish it could be tweaked in a sequel or port

For me,. The whole pain complaint people have wasn’t an issue,. I definitely felt it, but was legit so enthralled I hardly noticed, and usually quickly forgot as I began thinking about how cool the game is. What a way to make a world feel real with its endless list of amazing hilarious ever enthralling characters, there’s not one I dislike. I could talk so much about this game and any amount of fans I see talking about it warms my heart.
