Well I had been on the fence about this game... mostly because of the controls, but the multiplayer pushed me over the edge, I ordered it with release day shipping so I'll have it next friday. I'm interested in playing some of the vs matches with you so sign me up... although I only recently got my 3DS and dont know how to get my player code thing so I may need a lil help in that department.



EDIT: I found my friend code... wasn't as complicated as I thought it was.

Oh man, as soon as I found out about the online multiplayer mode...
It's a good thing I got a job recently, so I'll be able to afford a 3DS soon

I read both Bows and Cannons as Cows.

I'll be buying this when it comes out, because the multiplayer alone looks really fun.

Did you want it more like the original?  I'm a huge Nintendo fan and I thought the original Kid Icarus sucked badly.  Besides, this game is mostly shooting and doesn't take itself seriously at all.

I thought the original Kid Icarus was a good game... its just like most games from that era, hard as hell. I got it when I was like 8 or 9 and didn't beat it until I was like 12. This new one has alot of the old enemies in it from the NES version which is appealing to me cuz I really like nostalgia stuff. But the multiplayer is what really sold me on it, it looks like alot of fun.

To me, there are games that give their series a great start and age incredibly well (Super Mario Bros., Donkey Kong Country (sure, Donkey Kong is the real original for both but bleh)).  Then there are games that are still good but are outshined by their successors (Metroid, Sonic the Hedgehog).  Then there are games that time has basically spit on and just fail horribly.  This is what I call the "Thank God this shit got better" category (The Legend of Zelda, Kid Icarus).

Either way, if it were more like the original, it would be too much like Metroid so meh.

Where's Mega Man on that list? It seems to be in the middle, since it isn't really outshined by it's successors (everyone thinks the ones after 3 or 4 suck) but it hasn't aged well either...

Still looks fun I guess.

It's between the middle and lower end.  I don't really like it very much but it isn't awful.

Also, I'd be a lot more pumped for this game if I were actually at home and could get it...

Are you sure you didn't pre-order it just to get the free game of freeness that is free, also now in free-dee?

I'm not going to lie, that too did influence my decision. I really liked the first Kid Icarus game so an updated version for free in "free-dee" is a bonus. But if the multiplayer is as good as it looks I doubt I'll be playing it much. I'm pretty hyped about it myself. But there is this one thing that I think is weird. In Kid Icarus, you jumped ALOT in that game, and in this one there is no jump button... from what I've seen when you are presented with a wall or ledge in yer way you have to look for some weird symbol on the ground that makes you jump, thats weird. But I guess they really couldn't have made you jump any other way considering the control layout. Oh well its a very minor thing but its still weird to me.
