Huh, is that a fact?
Any word on how many coins they'll be? Is it confirmed for the US? Or is it just speculation.
It was confirmed by NOE on one of their press releases... the Nintendo Direct one? I forget. Anyway, each booster pack will be worth 250 Stars.
EDIT: oops, it's not a 24-card booster pack, those are the preorder giveaways. 250 Stars will get you two six-card booster packs (so, 12 cards).
I don't think NOA has mentioned it anywhere.

EDIT: However, that pre-order bonus isn`t mentioned anywhere on the sites which sell the game. I`ve preordered from that banned shop, and would like to payoff my order beforehand just in case, but I afraid that AR card pack could turn out to be exclusive somewhere else.

I'm in Australia so I don't know how our Stars match up with the European system, but at a rough estimate I'd say 250 Stars is probably around... 100 Coins? I'm really not sure.

What do the cards actually do?
In the end the cards are just a collectible novelty, like a lot of Club Nintendo stuff. I mainly want them because they are Kid Icarus branded stuff.
If they really want to make a killing they'd do this AR stuff with Pokemon cards.
Cool, that's pretty cheap.

I think you can use AR for their 3D models to pop out and fight other cards next to them.
How deep it goes I'm not sure. It'd be cool if there was a levelling up/battle system.
I might have cared if the card game was wasn't so shallow, but it is, so I don't.
Nope, I'm right there with you. I can't see myself looking at them past trying the AR thing once.
Same here. Does anyone actually use their AR cards that came with the system (the ones that are just characters)?
Here are the cards my brother got at the Kid Icarus Tournament. Here's to hoping one guy can't make it so he can go to NY :-(.

Those pack-in AR cards are stil sealed in my 3DS box.
And this was probably already mentioned, but the new issue of Game Informer has one card as an advertisement.

They're collector's items in my mind. The AR stuff is just a bonus on top.

how do you get the 3d classic download?
You'll be given a download code when you pick up the game at GameStop or Best Buy, or in Amazon's case you'll have the code emailed to you.

If you still have an old DS lying around you might want to try the thumbstrap.

It can actually attach to your 3DS on either the right or left.
First thing I did when I got my 3DS.

I'm presuming this is for smoother face button movement?
Does anyone know yet how vehicles will be implemented into the game? Are they in multiplayer at all or are they just a sort of fun bonus for single player levels?
They haven't been shown in multiplayer, so I don't think so.
Same with the 3 Sacred Treasures and whatnot.
At least I'd think.
It's for the touch screen.AgentOtaku said:

Got mine a week ago when I replaced my cat-chewed Wii sensor bar.
4 dollars.
I remember using it with my old PHAT DS back in the day to beat SM63DS - all 150 stars...

It came with the original DS. Looks like there is also a third party one you can get here: http://www.buy.com/pr/product.aspx?sku=215969016&sellerid=23962916
OR just do this:

Same here. Is it "The Power of Flight" card? Or were random ones given out?
I don't have the issue in front of me, but that sounds right. It looks like Pit is about to fly or jump out a window or something.
Is this scheme actually viable? Because that would make me buy the game. I don't want to deal with Frankenstick nonsense. It works for the ground movement, too, right? Not gimped?Alternatively, there are a number of control settings including one where A, B, X and Y are used to move, allowing you to wield the stylus with your dominant hand. It sounds like you'll be good to go either way.

I would think that a face button for movement setup would really change the dodge mechanic. You do a smash type motion with the stick. What do you do with the buttons, double tap?
My issue came with the Power of Flight. It's probably the same for everyone.

Simon the digger...is that you?
Yeah, that's why I asked.
I would assume double tap for dodging and pressing two buttons for diagonals. It doesn't sound optimal, but it'd be a hell lot less awkward than trying to play as a righty.
