I only clicked blindly on you spoiler bars. The first thing I thought of was obviously this:
Now that I spoilered myself a little, I SO want to see this.
Nintendo should just let Sakurai handle nothing but Smash Bros and IP revivals.

My Meteor Bow kicks such ass. Great at a distance and it does amazing damage for a bow up close.

He's right though.
Man, this game just keeps on going.
"Okay, I'm pretty much at the end, I'll just keep going and do this last mission or two."
Five missions later:
"Alright, seriously, this is the last one, right?"
Nope!
It feels like they plotted out a big epic trilogy, then looked at it again and said, "Aw, what the hell, we can totally fit this all into one game!"

im a little over half way and i gotta say, this game is awesome. i got no problem with the controls, got used to it about half way through the 2nd level
the dialog and voice acting is great. the game doesnt take itself to seriously and i feel like that was the right decision.
also the mp is the shit, if smash bros was a shooter/slashing game it would play like kid icarus

The main menu music reminds me of the Grand Chokma(sp) music from Tales of the Abyss.

Motherfucking chapter 5 proves me that Sakurai just put whatever the fuck he wanted in the game.
You my hero.

this game is so great, man. Controls are not a problem for me, but then again I'm playing with my pen-sized stylus that I got with my DSiXL.
I wouldn't even say this game is representative of Nintendo in general. There are things in this game that even manage to be above and beyond their normal fare. Especially compared to how, say, Zelda's been lately.
Skyward Sword was a 40 hour console game, and Kid Icarus is a 10 hour handheld game. Yet I feel like I've been on a bigger adventure and gotten to know and like the world and characters better in Kid Icarus.
Less filler I'd say. Kid Icarus gets straight to the point and none of the levels feel recycled and they each have their own awesome setpieces.

I just noticed the laurels around the chapter number can be either green or gold. What's up with that?
Nah, this is above and beyond even them. This is Sora!!!! Sakurai proved to me that its not just a Smash Bros thing...
His games are something to treasure and look forward to. SSB3D XMAS 2013? How big is Sora, how much can they work on?

Where the fuck where you when Kirby Super Star came out?
I think it depends on the highest intensity you have beat it? Or if you had a no death run? I'm not 100% sure.
Yeah, its a great game and filled with content, but its never been near the same level as Smash in my mind. There is something about the Kirby gameplay style that I don't love. This game is right up there with Smash, maybe even better????
Its SandP, but every level is better and more epic and has better graphics. It is a sequel to one of my treasured childhood games. It has a super robust multi mode that encourages you to play single player like a loot game. It has surprises. It has everything. I'm totally blown away, far beyond what I ever felt playing Kirby Super Star.
Admittedly, I never played KSS on its original platform, when it originally came out, maybe if I had, I would have been just as blown away.

My current fave weapon. I need to cook up another chain of shit to transfer some of these effects over to a stronger pair though. *drool*

Kirby Super Star was a game brimming with content for its time. Sakurai has been doing this type of game since long ago.
They might indicate whether you completed the level in one shot, with no continues.

8-4 Play mentioned SpotPass support with this title. Is that true?
Nintendo is giving away an item gem by SpotPass every day for a like a year or something.
Yeah, people have already gotten a weapon from Spotpass.

Over 400 I believe. So providing all of those you receive from Nintendo are unique (unlikely) you'll have a little over a 1/4 of them!

It honestly really is
Hmm. I thought that's what I was doing, but I'll have to try it again with even milder movements...
I see it as a weird little bonus, so far...
Loving this game more and more. The controls have finally become comfortable (or at least I've gotten used to them) and when I die it's because of my own doing I feel. Not dodging correctly. Firing constantly when I should perhaps wait for a charged shot or melee. When in the air trying to get everything instead of dodging and letting things perhaps pass me by.
I am glad when you die there are actual check points. Hadn't realized that until I got to chapter 6. I bounced off a platform (got put back on the platform) in chapter 5 but didn't have the cauldron tip over. Only when I died in combat in chapter 6 did that happen. At least there seems to be on the ground sections. Not sure about the air sections. I was afraid I'd have to restart the entire stage. Glad that isn't the case. I think 5 is where I can get through a stage at the moment. However I barely have life when I do that. I think I got through the ground section chapter 4 (at intensity 4.1 or 4.2) with about less then 1/4 of my health bar. I couldn't keep it higher then.

Already have 30 from the preorder sets though, of which I only had a double Paluntela
Okay, so it's inconceivable for me to go through this monstrous thread and read what everyone has said, so I'm going to ask some questions that have probably already been asked, so I apologize in advance. Most of these are good for discussion though
-What's everyone using for their control scheme? I'm using the default stylus control, but I tweaked the sensitivity a bit. I made the camera control "stop quickly" so that I didn't have to stop it after flicking the stylus. Seems to be working well for me so far. Anyone else do this? I also raised the reticle speed a lot, and I think that helped me a bit, too. What else have you guys done that has helped you get the "perfect" scheme?
-What's everyone's favorite weapons? I'm finding good luck with Palms, Orbitars, and Clubs. Those are my favorite right now, but I haven't even given some others a fair chance. Also I'm TERRIFIED to fuse weapons! I'm scared I'll never be able to get the base weapons back

Oh yeah I wanted to ask about this! I got a SpotPass this morning but I don't know where to go within the menus of the game to find out what I got! Can someone help me?

Holy shit. Just played this for the last hour and a half and I feel like I've developed severe carpal tunnel, and eye strain. It's been all worth it though! Loving every minute.
Dude, you know that you can get a power that lets you "pokeball" weak enemies into idols, right?
Question about this though, how do you tell if they're low on health?
Or is it on enemies considered physically weaker?
Does it only happen on their death?
I'm just a bit confused as to the mechanics.

I'm pretty sure the Swords in the together menu are defeated opponents. I currently have about 152 points and my swords are "1 blue crossed swords 5 swords, 2, green swords."
Try going to Streetpass -> View Gems

Definitely have mixed feelings so far about this game.
On the one hand, I absolutely love the charm of the enemy designs, the parody like nature of the game, all the optional content to seek out, and surprisingly, the multiplayer.
On the other hand, the main campaign really isn't doing much for me. Sure, I love the world and the dialogue, but the actual gameplay seems really repetitive, and on the harder difficulty setting, the controls really start to show their flaws. I know I'm not half way through the game yet, but it's harder and harder to pick up and play for me.
Still enjoying it for the most part, but I think this would have possibly been one of my favorite games if it had truly supported the CPPro
