Kid Icarus: Uprising Delayed To Q1 2012

Kid Icarus: Uprising Delayed To Q1 2012 Originally planned for a 2011 launch, Nintendo delayed Kid Icarus: Uprising to the first quarter of 2012. Nintendo plans to use the extra development time to expand the quality of the game. It will join other first party releases like Luigi’s Mansion 2, Animal Crossing, Mario Tennis, Fire Emblem, and Paper Mario.

 

To promote the game, Production I.G. (Ghost in the Shell), Studio 4C (Catherine), and Shaft (Negima) will create 3D anime movies users can watch on the Nintendo 3DS. Iwata said these would be available worldwide.

    Boy I hope so because the demo I tried played like crap. However this will probably delay Smash Bros’ start.

    CCCCool, now all that’s left is studio ghibli to join the 3d party and the 3ds may get more use than I ever would think

    More excited for the Anime than the game ^^.
    Hope they’re free, too.

    Does that mean we can expect to see head tilts in it?

    Even though this is one of the most anticipated 3DS releases (if not the most), it shouldn’t be much of a bother. There’s still games such as Mario Kart 7, Super Mario 3D Land, Sonic Generations 3DS, and many more to keep us company, not to mention the recent Ambassador thing in Nintendo eShop to get 20 free games (if you were lucky enough to participate). So, since we have many games to keep us busy until the other games release, there’s nothing to be ashamed about, right?

    EDIT: Not Tekken 3D anymore. Oh well.

    I’m glad if more time is getting put into it to improve quality~.

    And apparently I need a 3DS. Now. …Or before the anime movies come out anyway~.

    This is good news.

    Not only is this easier for my wallet this year, I also get a better game next year.

    I.G version of Kid Icarus. Hmmm I can see Pit using some cellphone that could allowed him to buy Nuke and strike Medusa face?

    You know, I wonder if Nintendo would have saved some cred by releasing the 3DS say, six months later than they actually did so early adopters wouldn’t have had to suffer through such a drought.

    Then again… if that was the case, we probably still would have gotten a heavily overpriced console with low battery life AND a second controller stick add-on. So maybe it’s just for the best that we got all the inevitable pain over with as early as possible.
