20:00 - The event has begun! Iwata is shown in the basement sound studio, pacing back and forth and practicing.
20:01 - First of all, some bad news. The Wii no Ma service will be ending on April 30th. Starting on March 3rd, a goodbye "Arigatou no Ma" service will be offered.
20:02 - Kid Icarus: Uprising video, presented by Masahiro Sakurai. Battle mode. 3 on 3 co-op/vs. mode. Narration is over the video, not apparently part of the game.
20:07 - KI video ends, Sakurai explains the strongest "Genesis" attack. Gather 3 parts to enable it. Heavenly weapons come in many varieties and have various characters, each with a given value. A higher value doesn't necessarily mean a weapon is better.
20:09 - Air and ground-based fighting, along with boss battles make up the stages. As you adjust the "seriousness level" upward with the heart cauldron at before a stage, the difficulty increases. When you die, you lose hearts and won't be able to set the seriousness level so high.
20:11 - You can also set the seriousness level lower if you want an easier gameplay experience. By circling in the air, you can evade enemy attacks. You slow down when shooting, but there are other attack options.
20:12 - When really up against a wall, use a special attack. Arrange your abilities as if they were Tetris-like pieces on a grid in the menus.
20:14 - StreetPass is supported. Exchange weapons you've made with others. Destroy weapons you've received for hearts.
20:15 - Six AR cards are included. Battles unfold randomly. A special stand is also included.
20:16 - Kid Icarus is to be released in Japan on March 22nd.
20:17 - Iwata is back. Iwata Asks on KI, as well as Twitter account @3DS_Palutena will be provided.
