Nice art, and that trailer really made me want this game. Also like what i've read about the game.

So this ain't a 30min rail shooter?
Gonna hop on the tempura bandwagon.

Tempura Wizard.
My god that looks incredible. When you said "I feel like making fanart for this game" I initially dismissed your post because I thought you weren't being serious. Sorry about that.
If I could make a request, can you draw Pit & Palutena side by side?

Thanks you did a great job!
I'm really liking how this appears to be the only game that takes advantage of every 3DS feature. It takes advantage of the 3D, the touch screen, the AR cards, Streetpass, Spotpass, online, Nintendo Direct, etc.
It really was built from the ground up to take advantage of the 3DS.

I think Nintendogs nailed it all except online. AR dog fun, streetpass meetings, spotpass American presidential dogs for some reason.
Nope but we've pretty much always known that.
Tempura Wizard.
Nice!
Also I didn't know you made that Bowser sprite in your avatar, I actually thought it was an official sprite (aside from pink hair). You're really good!
Let's be friends, fellow pixel artist.
Who ever said that was an idiot. It's only a 5 min. segment of the game.

Well, it's possible that there are 30 minutes worth of rail shooting in 5 minute increments. Then there are the ground sections, the fact that you'll be replaying for better rewards and unlocking new areas, and seemingly awesome online multiplayer that could last a long time...
Well, it's at least 30 minutes given the number of bosses thus far.
Oh. Yeah, the total of all the segments combined would probably be 30 min., but chickdigger made it sound like it was nothing but a 30 min. on-rails shooter.

I agree. Let's all don Tempura Wizard avatars before release. Better with him than against him -- I sure don't want to be deep-fried and eaten!
As hyped as I am for this game, 8-8.5 is about what I'm anticipating this game will receive from most media outlets, probably due to the controls, which would be fair. Any details on what Edge docked it for?
Review isn't online yet, but in my experience as an EDGE reader, an 8 from them in my eyes is like a 9+ from anyone else. I know it sounds ridiculos, but what say IGN would give an 8 because it's only somewhat good, EDGE would gladly give say a 6 etc etc
8 is a perfectly good rating, especially from EDGE, with a reputation for doling out lower scores. Didn't they give Super Mario 3D Land an 8? If the worst that can be said about KI:U is that it's "as good as SM3DL" I'm pretty sure I have nothing to worry about.
In any case, I'm interesting to see what reviewers think, but I don't need a review to tell me this will be an amazing game. That much I already know.

I just want to know what imperfections they see in the game. Like I said, I anticipate the controls will be a bit polarizing, particularly in the ground portions.
I'm also interested to know how many chapters are in the game. Has there been any word on this yet? There are certainly no shortage of locations and bosses.
Also, I want to know who the boss is in the desert world. Is it Pandora? Thanatos? Dark Pit?
EDGE said:

I feel those two points are key to any imperfections.
As expected, in context, the complaints make sense. I'm going to take some time in the first ground segment to just go through the paces turning and running and such.
Any idea on when the other reviews will hit? I know IGN has their copy now. Hmm. Everything pre-release is hype and rainbows, but I'm eager to see what people who have played the full game think.
Also, some mysteries I want answered:
- How many bosses total? So far we know of Twinbellows, Dark Lord Gaol, Hewdraw, Big Reaper, Pandora, Thanatos, Space Kraken, Dark Pit (?), and Medusa... I wonder if there are even more?
- How many chapters total?
- How many base weapons, and how many possible weapon combinations?
- How many distinct powers?
- Any modes hitherto unannounced, like Mercenaries in RE4/RE5?

There's nine kinds of weapons: blades, claws, bows, staffs, palms, clubs, cannons, orbitars and arms. There's at the very least three different of each so that's that, there's probably a lot more counting the ones we haven't seen and the little variations each one has (like, speed +1 and such).
For the powers there's:
Recovery powers:
Status recovery: Heals status effects.*
Health recovery: Restores a little of Pit's health.
Booster powers:
Wall-slipping bullet: Allows bullets/beams/ranged attacks to pass through walls*
Eggplant Attack: Produces an elemental attack that damages your enemies and turns them into eggplants.
Attack powers:
Reflective Barrier: Brings forth a barrier that reflects attacks back.*
Mega Laser: Unleash a powerful beam that flies straight and true.
Explosive Flame: Produce an enormous and damaging explosion.
Meteor Shower: Brings a bunch of hefty meteorites down upon your enemies.
Movement powers:
Rocket Jump: A jump that creates an explosion.*
Angelic Missile: Turn yourself into a missile and launch yourself towards the enemy.
Sky Jump: Perform a standing jump that reaches a great height.
Super Speed: Run at such an enormous speed that you smash enemies out of the way.
Status powers*:
Darkness: Shrouds nearby opponents in darkness.*
Body Virus: Spreads virus** to nearby opponents.*
Situation changing powers*:
Playing Dead: Escape enemy attack by playing dead.*
Ability powers*:
Exhaustion-proof: Prevents getting tired.*
*Items with an asterisk are items who have had their names unofficially translated by me using the Japanese KIU website as a base, localization name might differ.
**Virus: Reduces HP by half.

Any estimates on campaign length?
Btw is this game suppose to be one of those score attack technical games or play for story and forget about it?

Game of the year.
I thought I'd be able to hold out on this until summer, but...no way.
I wish someone had GIF-ified the part of the trailer after that, where the Tempura Wizard hops out of the bowl, his eye turns into a mouth and he chases tempura-ized Pit around, eventually gobbling him up. MUCH scarier than an Eggplant Wizard!
That reminds me, it would be cool if Neoriceisgood would make a sprite of Tempura Wizard's standing form... HINT HINT.

Awesome. This game is going to be.
I think Nintendo will be selling booster cards in stores, too. So not only do we have a core single player mode, an expansive multiplayer mode, random generated content, tons of items, skills and abilities, weapon fusion, we have a little augmented reality card game too...
HEY MAN I'LL TRADE YOU MY EGGPLANT WIZARD FOR YOUR MOCHTROID
Nah man Mochtroid has a 3 star rarity, while your Eggplant Wizard is only 1 star
MAN F*** YOU
*fights*

I wonder if the Tempura Wizard card will transform other cards into Tempura..

You lose the hearts (or at least, most of them) that you bet.

Ostensibly it's just a harmless minigame that pits your AR card characters against one another. I think you can unlock stuff in game by using them.

Thanatos Rising -- Part 2 is up on NV now
What, I tried doing a connection check and got nothing.
I'm so envy. We Europeans will start getting them on 14th.
Cool, I didn't even know if we were gonna get them at all.
I just realized, why is a poster named Eggplant Wizard trying to hold out until summer on a Kid Icarus title?

Well, it's not plausible for Pit's enemy to buy this game at launch, otherwise it isn't a good enemy, come on!

Good commercial. Granted I think it gives off a wrong impression about the game. In some ways it reminds me a little bit of Ocarina of Time's commercial.
