Kid Icarus Uprising is one of my all time FAVOURITE game on 3DS and unlike most people I didn't have much issue with controls even on higher intensity.

 

[Mr Hyde]

Where is the remaster with twin stick control for Switch? Nintendo needs to get on with it ASAP.

3DS is the only nintendo handheld I never got. Still don't like that I can't play this game or the Metroid 2 remake.
I practically grew up on that Metroid 2 on gameboy.

 

[Danjin44]

Kid Icarus Uprising is the definition underrated. This game is most polished, packed with content and most fun handheld game I ever experienced.

I might not have issue with controls like most people did but I agree video I posted above is that Uprising is too big for 3DS. This game straight up AAA console game on handheld.

 

[Krathoon]

The game is a blast to play. It is an odd duck like the previous games.

 

[ZoukGalaxy]

And the soundtrack please, another (orchestral/mixed) GEM. It's a 3DS GAME, damn it !

2 samples, beware of titles spoiler if you care and wants to play it.

Am I the only one who loved the control scheme? I mean, it's the closest thing we can have to mouse + keyboard. Ok it's exhausting after long session, but play it bits by bits and you have controls far more precise than twin sticks.

Not alone.
I loved too Metroid Prime Hunters (DS) controls with the stylus, it was awesome and immersive.

You are absolulty NOT ALONE, especially in higher intensity you NEED precision of stylus.

Oddly enough, I wasn’t a huge fan of the inertia-based swiping in the game, but I loved everything else.

IMO, Metroid Prime Hunters still has the best portable controls for FPS/TPS. I’m probably in the minority on that, though.

 

[FoxMcChief]

My favorite portable game of all time. I played this game a lot in my office bathroom.

Kid Icarus Uprising and Killzone Mercenary are the two best portable experiences ever, imo. Both did what I wanted perfectly. I wanted truly fun gameplay, great visuals and short sessions that didn’t waste my time.

 

[Naked Lunch]

Kid Icarus needed the Super Metroid treatment on SNES...and it never happened.

The NES original is still one of my all time favorite games.
Cant speak for Uprising - never played it.

[JimboJones]

I never did play it as I was put off by the control scheme plus being left handed and the non symmetrical layout of the 3DS made the situation seem even worse.
Any lefties here who played it?

 

[Werewolf Jones]

The best unlockable feature in this game was carpal tunnel.

 

[Zannegan]

I hope the next gen Joycon have A. greatly improved tracking, so we can simulate IR pointing, and/or B. (a long shot) Steam Deck-like touchpads on the opposite end from the Joystick. I also want them a bit chunkier, more akin to the Wiimote, though not quite that big.

Either solution would make an Uprising port significantly easier to handle and play at higher difficulties than relying just on joysticks and gyros...
...which also sounds like a fantastic monthly event centered around fighting games and Greek cuisine. Someone get on it.

Better 2 slap than 1.

[Celcius]

I’ve always wanted to play this but never had that system. Can we get a Switch style remaster like Metroid prime pls?

 

[AndrewRyan]

Hated the control scheme with twin sticks but was fine with stylus just not convenient. Read there's a mod for 3ds that fixed the control scheme. Even tried getting it working but didn't. Love the slider to pick your risk/reward for the difficulty.

 

[Sgt.Asher]

Definitely needs a switch port. Gyro controls are more than enough to compensate for the stylus, and the ground combat controls can be vastly improved.

 

[Naked Lunch]

I just cant do handhelds.
Im already blind - and playing them makes me even moreso. So I never had a 3DS.

I know I would love Uprising though - right in my wheelhouse. Maybe a console port one day.

 

[Synless]

Game had some great visuals at times. However the real standout is that OST, fucking great.

To this day I am the only living, non-internet person I’ve met whose played this fucking game.

Sakurai better get his ass moving on his next game if he’s not working on Smash DLC.

 

[GigaBowser]

Holy crudola just put this on Switch already Nintendos dont you like free monies?

Even though the game is almost 100% linear, the risk/reward mechanic made it so replayable. You could go through the same level multiple times and raising the difficulty would make it fresh again. Plus you had an overall currency that carried over between runs and could earn stronger weapons by challenging yourself.

It's such a great mechanic. I wish more linear games with loot/gear would use it.

Not to mention the intensity gates, you want to replay levels in higher intensity in order to access those gates, it was great idea.

they would need to replace the camera system on the ground with a more traditional one tho.
as a moving reticle and moving camera at the same time doesn't work well with gyro
