Nintendo has revealed new details about the storyline and single-player game play in Kid Icarus™: Uprising, which will launch exclusively for the Nintendo 3DS™ system across Europe on March 23rd. Over 25 years after the launch of the original Kid Icarus game for NES™, Kid Icarus: Uprising brings the action and adventure of this beloved series to new heights.
· 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 amount of
replay value. With 9 different categories of weapons, ranging from
Divine Bows to Shot 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.
More details about Kid Icarus: Uprising will be revealed prior to its European launch on March 23rd. For more information and to see the game in action, please visit http://www.nintendo.co.uk/kidicarus
