Kid Icarus: Uprising Soars Above Expectations After 20-plus Years

If any one game threatened to overshadow the Nintendo 3DS at last year's E3, it was Kid Icarus: Uprising. A sequel to the beloved NES game had been the stuff of rumors for years, and those rumors only intensified when the lead character Pit appeared as a combatant in 2008's Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Now that the project is out of the bag, it stands as one of the most anticipated 3DS games. Having played it for the first time at this weekend's Nintendo World 2011, I would say it was easily the best showcase of the as-yet-unreleased system's potential.

Kid Icarus: Uprising is a radical departure from the original Kid Icarus, a tough-as-nails action platformer that is likely remembered most fondly by those who never played it. With no extra lives, a confusing upgrade system and nightmarish labyrinth stages capping each linear world, finishing the game was a very tall order.
