order cancelled 
so at least now I know it works
I will order with cheaper shipping when they are on sale and not pre-order

I don't think we were told that.
I think it's been said for a while that there would be a lot of customization.

so why is the cards not on amazon's us store yet? It seems I can order from germany just fine
I am going to wait until next week to give this another try if I cannot find them in the US
I am willing to bet you can walk into any store and get the AR Packs after the game is out

Can you link to them?
Well, I've decided: I'll download the last two anime videos (Part 1 and 2 of the Shaft production about Palutena's cooking contest), and then I'm turning off SpotPass on Nintendo Video. I'll keep Thanatos Rising - Part 3, Medusa's Revenge and the two-part Shaft anime for as long as I can. I especially love Medusa's Revenge -- simply gorgeous art, every single frame, and amazing scenarios, music, even line delivery. I love it!
Hopefully! I'd love nothing more for the default scheme to be my favorite one, haha. Unfortunately, I think it's going to be different for every person, no matter what hand they write with. Spamming L and holding the 3DS with your left hand may be preferable for some lefties who'd rather not control Pit with face buttons or a right analog stick. The opposite could apply to righties, as well. Depending on the difficulty level, the balance between precision aiming and precision movement may also become skewed in favor of one over the other, which would further complicate things.
As with the Wii, some of the issues here stem from a conflict of familiarity, the crisscross dilemma of having controlled character movement with a left analog stick for years and having written with a particular hand since childhood. Some people will adjust and others won't. There will probably be no scheme that feels 100% intuitive for those with difficulty adapting; all they can do is find the least uncomfortable solution.
Offering many ways to customize the controls is important for all players, especially when a skill-based game such as this demands a good deal of dexterity. Now, whether or not the alternate configurations are equally viable remains to be seen.
The game could really use a demo. =\
That's a good idea, I rarely look at the new videos on that thing but Medusa's Revenge was just excellent. I'd hate to see it replaced by a Red Bull video or something.
Yuuuup. If I weren't already sold on 3D before now, this would undoubtedly have been the breaking point.
My one concern with simply waiting for all the anime videos to arrive and then turning off SpotPass is that some non-KI videos may arrive between this Medusa's Revenge and the Shaft shorts. Hopefully they'll just go straight to the Shaft shorts, thus allowing me to have four of the six KI videos when I turn off SpotPass for Nintendo Video.
Hopefully they'll sell the full vids on eShow like they did with the Dreamworks vids. Perhaps that was the plan all along.
That's totally what I thought when I watched that part! XD
I'm curious to find out about Dark Pit's origins. Surely he's not just an evil-looking Pit look-alike that appeared out of nowhere. Then again...this is Kid Icarus, I guess things don't really have to make sense, lol.

For the US version does the stand come packaged with every copy?

Yes.
Every copy.

That's the guy that got owned by FoxHimself online though ;-). I played Metroid Hunters back in the days with it and never had any problems. I at least want to give it a whirl.
Yes it does. Comes with the stand and a pack of 6 AR cards.

Thanks, I'm hoping it will work well with my PDP Armor on it. :|

Some google-translated german review said it "peaked at 60" in single player. And that guy from ign said he didn't run into any slowdown outside of multiplayer.
Has this been posted? I found it interesting. Tiny Cartridge have a compariosn between the final retail cards and those that were distributed at E3:

Apparently the game reads both cards as the same. So what is the camera looking for?

We'd need some more card images to be certain, but I was pondering the white/blue (?) icon shapes near the base of the card.

Perhaps it's the border? It might be something not visible to the naked eye.
I don't think it can be those, since they are not exactly the same.

That's a real possibility too, which isn't mutually exclusive from other possibilities.
The only thing I'm fairly sure it ISN'T is something based on color, given that the prior AR cards work in b&w and it would seem to be easier/faster/whatever to do a shape-based recognition...
Edit: That reminds me. I was bored and didn't have the AR cards handy, so I tried to sketch a "standard" ?-block AR card on a post-it note using just a Sharpie marker. I used the little picture of the card in the AR program as a reference.
It worked.
Edit 2: Hmm. I assumed there was SOME recognition going on with the inner image, but the existing "system" AR cards must work entirely as silhouettes. This guy cut out the entire inner image and it worked fine: http://3dsforums.com/586546-post92.html

Color is technically required for shape-based recognition.

Pandora's Labyrinth is a pretty fucked up stage. Ow, my head.
Also, tried playing through the first chapter on intensity 9. I need some better gear for that :lol

How many hours did you spent in the game ? Could you tell us when you'll beat the game, and how long it took you ?
Phife Dawg

Yeah, they have the pack, you get a separate item in your order. They also lowered the price to 43. Still a lot so maybe it's best to wait a bit to see if MM/Saturn have something interesting to offer. I put an order down just in case

Does anybody know if this has download play? Both my sister and my girlfriend have a 3DS, but neither are buying this game. I'd love to do multiplayer with them.
And while I'm on the subject, what about multiple save files?

It would be like with the character cards you get with the 3DS, wouldn't it?
It just has a bunch of images stored, and when it sees them, it displays the appropriate model.
