Sakurai ended his latest video to his Youtube channel with the tease; "It sure would be nice to play Kid Icarus: Uprising on a home console. I wonder if someone out there will ever port it?"

Namco did post a job listing for a remaster/remake of a 3D game that was to be money-hatted by Nintendo, earlier this year.

 

[Kataploom]

I thought of a switch port when I saw it, but now this is making me overthink, about it

 

[Kacho]

Game was sooooo fun. Would love to play a version that doesn’t give me crippling carpal tunnel.

 

[BlackTron]

Well remember to Nintendo, the Switch is a console. The question is, is it to Sakurai?

Compared to the 3DS this game was originally on, I wouldn't be surprised if in his own mind (without making a big deal out of how people might read into it) Switch "counted".

MEEEEEEE

 

[Danjin44]

If we do get Kid Icarus Uprising remaster/port on Switch.......

Thats my favourite 3DS game of all time.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

Palutena one of the Best waifus of Nintendo.

 

[alf717]

I had some interest in this when I first got my 3DS couldn't find a physical copy though.s. I'm all for a modern port of the game.

 

[Pejo]

God I hope so. I tried to play it a while ago again and that control scheme....

Shame too, because it's a great game. Two sticks will probably breathe fresh life into it.

You know you kinda fucked up when a video is required just to show you how to play a game.

 

[Power Pro]

Palutena one of the Best waifus of Nintendo.

 

[bender]

May it be ported and never released.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

She... And Marín, Linkle, princess Zelda, Lana, are the best waifus of Zelda

 

[BusierDonkey]

Kid Icarus Uprising was the best Starfox-like game made after Starfox 64. I'd love to play it on the Switch with proper controls, it's been a long time since I played it. The character banter in the game was great.

All the video says regarding controls, spent in like 10 seconds, is that you move with the circle pad, use the L button to shoot and aim/turn with the touch screen/stylus. You really think it was required and that it wasn't just another PR video for the game?

I fail to see which part appears too complicated, or like the video was made because people wouldn't grasp the concept in text form, in the manual or in-game instructions. Liking the controls or not is one thing, complicated they most definitely weren't.

3DS didn't have a second analog stick, they used the touch screen as one with the bonus of it being better for such a rail shooter and the negative of it being that the system form factor wasn't exacty the best for it. The stand shows that bit, not the video.

 

[Robb]

What a tease! I’d absolutely love to see it though.

 

[Pejo]

She... And Marín, Linkle, princess Zelda, Lana, are the best waifus of Zelda

Uh...

Plus Samus, the Xenoblade and Fire Emblem girls. But yea, Palutena was so good that they made her again in Fire Emblem 3 Houses and called her Rhea.

All the video says regarding controls, spend in like 5 seconds, is that you move with the circle pad, use the L button to shoot and aim/turn with the touch screen/stylus. You really think it was required and that it wasn't just another PR video for the game?

You can chalk it up to preference then. It wasn't that I didn't understand how to play, it just felt like shit using a stylus in your right hand for aiming. They even made that thumb stylus to help improve it because obviously many people had issues with it.

Remake with gyro control. Thats a remake I can 100% get behind.

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaas, this I can get behind!

 

[Danjin44]

I personally didn’t mind it because its control scheme is exactly like Metroid Prime Hunter on DS and you need the accuracy of stylus for flying section in harder intensity.

 

[Jennings]

I enjoyed Kid Icarus Uprising on the 3DS, but man was it hard on my hand. The control scheme on 3DS was the main drawback. I would play the hell out of this on my TV via Switch, given the mandatory change to controls... unless you're expected to play in handheld mode and touch the screen.

 

[Punished Miku]

Get the Fire Emblem Engage artists on board for a silky smooth remake with redone art.

 

[drotahorror]

Really wanted this on the Wii U but I’d definitely love a switch port as well.

 

[justiceiro]

Don't read too much into it. Remember when he asked about the same thing regarding f-zero?

This is the new Shinji Mikami remake rumor...lots of hype over a mere rumor

 

[Dr. Wilkinson]

I passed on the game solely because it looked like a nightmare to play on the 3DS. They even had to put out that special stand just for the game. Yeah I would definitely play it on a normal controller!

 

[It's all in the wrist]

Ah, the sequel to Star Fox 64. Too bad the controls sucked ass on the 3DS. I'd love to play a rezzed up home consoles version.

I was able to play the game even on high intensity.

 

[Kataploom]

I'm happy to know I'm not the only one hating it's controls on the 3DS, it's the sole reason I never went through it, I tried it but if was just too uncomfortable

This and Metroid Prime Hunters for DS.

I played a demo that a friend had back in the day but no more than that, I didn't feel it was unplayable as kid Icarus on 3DS though, maybe because the pacing was slow or maybe because I was hype-blinded by the DS (it was still the novelty)

 

[It's all in the wrist]

I was able to play the game even on high intensity.

The on foot controls were ghastly!

[TLZ]

Please nobody say Nintendo home console anymore. My heart can't take it.

 

[Trazyn the Infinite]

She... And Marín, Linkle, princess Zelda, Lana, are the best waifus of Zelda

She has nothing to do with Zelda. Also Marin is literally a child. WTF?

 

[Aldric]

The "home console" part doesn't mean anything because Nintendo markets the Switch as a home console, but yeah at this point I'm pretty sure Bandai Namco is working on an Uprising port. Hopefully they wait until the next Switch to release it because this game deserves all the horsepower available to shine, some of the setpieces are amazing and should be rendered at the highest resolution possible.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

She has nothing to do with Zelda. Also Marin is literally a child. WTF?

i dont see her age....

Choose your best Zelda Character...

I pick marin and lana

 

[Fbh]

YES PLEASE!

Best Sakurai game, fuck smash

 

[Neff]

Choose your best Zelda Character...

 

[RoadHazard]

He's clearly talking about the Switch. Which is a home console.

 

[Woopah]

I bet this is the game Bandai Namco is remastering for Switch

 

[Camreezie]

Day one if real. Ive been trying to get a copy of the 3DS version and its more expensive now than at release

 

[Danjin44]

YES PLEASE!

Best Sakurai game, fuck smash

Uprising showed he can make AMAZING SP game, its a shame he was kind of stuck making Smash most of his career.

 

[Trazyn the Infinite]

[Ceadeus]

one of my favorite game! I can't believe we still don't have a second game by now it's damn sad

 

[nial]

I hope so, would love to try it.

 

[Companion Cube]

That's quite a reach taking it as a new console tease.

 

[Celcius]

I’ve always wanted to try the franchise, I hope they do port it
