Almost forgot. Here's what happened.

After defeating Medusa, the end credits rolls and everyone is happy. Then motherfucking HADES comes, grabs the entire ending credits screen and starts laying down verbal smackdowns. Turns out he's resurrected Medusa just to keep Pit and Palutena busy while he's off murdering people to fill up his realm.

I donated 400 hearts just to see what happened (there's a menu screen where you can just give away your currency). Looks like Palutena, which you can barely see in the distance, moves a time bit closer every time you donate. I wonder what happens when she's gone all the way.

Wow....That sounds crazy. I'm assuming you haven't beat it yet but do you think it's on par with Sakurai's other work?
Click to expand...

I'm not done yet, no.

It's pretty hard being on par with the amount of incredible work that went into Smash Bros Brawl, but this might just be up there.

One thing I don't like is Sakurai's acceptance of enemies just popping into existence all around you. It's like many places in Subspace Emissary where you'll enter an empty room and they'll just fade in. Make them come out of the ceiling or something, jeez.

And i guess the rewards so far were items and weapons and stuff like that?

Weapons, powers, music, idols (trophies), etc.

An annoyance. It's not minor, but not a hinderence either. I guess Sakurai and co did the best they could, but it'd still making me take a little break between each chapter.

Viridi, the godess of nature shows up and tries to kill everyone. Now it's Palutena vs Hades vs Viridi. The enemies are battling eachother as well as Pit.

So, what does Hades look like? Does he look like the demon guy from Myth and Monsters?

Yeah, so could someone be kind enough to sum up all the places where we can get AR cards for this game? Here's what I have so far:

1 card via Game Informer magazine
3 cards via Club Nintendo
3(?) cards via @Gamer magazine

Feel free to add to the list. I know I'm missing some. How is everyone going to try and get all the cards?

3 cards from Nintendo Power magazine in April

This is an issue I'm sure people have already talked about, but this is my first time in this thread.

I'm left-handed. Have any left-handed gaffers tried the game? Obviously, peoples coordination with their off hand varies, but how did you feel playing the game with the standard control scheme? Is there any other control scheme available? I never thought this could be a problem with any game, but I feel like I wouldn't have the necessary accuracy to play the game with any real finesse.

In addition to that image posted of all the control schemes, left handed players can also use the Circle Pad Pro

I bet they came up with a clever "You've been playing awhile, why not take a break" screen featuring a smug Palutena, eh?

OH MY GAWDDD. Can you describe a little what
Hades
and
Viridi
look like?

The spoiler about
Hades reviving Medusa as a mere distraction and the war between nations
made the game 100% more epic, but the spoiler about
Viridi going to war with Hades and Palutena for a three-way War of the Gods
pushes this reveal into god-tier territory (no pun intended).

WOW. Background info on this pic? Is that Sakurai's gaming room? Any more pics? I see he has the clear orange N64, which is amazing.

See, Sakurai is not just a game designer -- he's a gamer. That's why he omits nothing when it comes to options to get the most out of your game. No "single-player Versus mode in Mario Kart 7"-style oversights.

Amazing. I wonder what games they play. I know Sakurai himself tweeted he was loving Dark Souls and Uncharted 3 late last year. I wonder what the Sora staff play together in that room. SSF4, perhaps? (I see arcade sticks!)

Just curious, how do you play? Without the stand?
Click to expand...

Tried with the Frankenstand, and it definitely plays a little bit better with it. However, I really don't like playing with the whole thing on a table.

So I just looked at FoxHimself's spoilers on this page with no context whatsoeve--

FUCK, I NEED THIS NOWWWWWWW

I hope that Medusa isn't going to be just a one time thing though, she's fucking awesome. :lol

Also, is that a setup for Kid Icarus Wii U right there? :D
