heh never played kid icarus, im intrigued by the trailer though. it looks like the 3ds is getting a ton of games nintendo fans wanted. Looks like the psp is completely screwed now (though i will still buy one the day parasite eve 3 comes out....if it ever comes out....
).
Kid Icarus was always one of those "love it or hate it" games, mainly because of the high difficulty. I've always loved the game's theme and aesthetics; between it, Metroid, Zelda, and Castlevania, it was enough to keep my imagination on fire as a kid. And totally feeling you on the Parasite Eve situation; I'm glad they decided to give the series another shot, but having to buy a system for one game... well, it wouldn't be the first time, lol. The original PE remains one of my all time favorite games to this day, easily
easily top 3 for PS1.
I'm loving the artwork/designs for Kid Icarus:Uprising, especially Medusa's new look.

I hope there's an option to turn the 3d effects off. I see like 20/20 in one eye and 20/50 in the other so dunno if I'll see 3d or blur complete with massive headaches. Could always get my son one for his birthday and steal it for a trial
LOL, good plan. And I believe they mentioned somewhere that you could indeed turn off the 3D effects for normal play... (found the specs; 3D switch is in bold)
