Kid Icarus Available For Pre-Order Now!
You may remember we took a bit of a look at Kid Icarus: Uprising last year, when we were lucky enough to get some hands-on time with what is shaping up to be a cracking mix of action adventure and hardcore rail shooter.
Well now, a quarter of a century since the winged Pit first appeared on the Nintendo Entertainment System, his all-new adventure is just over the horizon and available to pre-order at selected retailers Amazon.co.uk, Gamestop, Littlewoods.com, Play.com and zavvi.co.uk .
Released to stores on 23rd March 2012, Kid Icarus comes to the 3DS from Mr Sakurai, the creative genius behind such luminary franchises as Kirby and Super Smash Brothers. In the latest Nintendo Direct video Sakurai-san chats about the online and Streetpass functionality of the game, as well as the customisable weapon systems.
Kid Icarus: Uprising also comes stacked with six Kid Icarus AR cards which will exploit the wondrous capabilities of the 3DS, with the promise of forthcoming downloadable AR card packs.
Nintendo have promised to keep us updated further with their Kid Icarus Twitter feed, which you can hit up on @KidicarusUK
Kid Icarus: Uprising will be released exclusively for Nintendo 3DS on Friday 23rd March 2012.
