  • Kid Icarus: Uprising is a fast-paced fantasy third-person shooter video game developed by Project Sora and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo 3DS.
    With development led by Masahiro Sakurai, Kid Icarus: Uprising was designed with the intent to make full use of the Nintendo 3DS's capabilities, but on release was met with criticism from problems related to the game's controls to issues with multiplayer implementation.
    In today's video, we take a look back at Kid Icarus Uprising and what went wrong with this game.

      probably wouldn't take it into multiplayer, though, cause its power level would take a third of the team's health bar in Light Vs Dark

      Yeah, I feel like more games made today could really learn from this one. Normally I don't even like the gear grind that most weapons tend to have now but this one was an exception since all the weapons were cool to use (also helps that the designs were tops) and, like you said, each mode feeding back into the other one, helped a lot since usually it's one way. Also helps that the checklist provided even more motivation to get the most mileage out of all the weapons since some could only be completed by using a certain type.

      I was playing it twin-stick while em*lating it on the steam deck earlier, and I could say its pretty alright.
      I also tried playing it with one of those drawing tablets and that was also pretty alright.

    The word press user "warriorsuprising" has the entry titled "How a remaster could improve things - Part 4: the controls and UI" if you're interested in how they worked with the controls of KIU, and how a Switch remaster could fix the controls. It might help to spread the word about that entry. They have said plenty about the game's Power system in recent years as well.
    (And for those wondering, the words "word" and "press" aren't supposed to have a space separating them, and they're both supposed to be capitalized, but TH-cam wants to be TH-cam.)

    Wonderful wonderful game!
    It's the smash of shooters, and opts for the "everything is balanced because everyone is broken" gameplay.
    And every aspect of it was done with so much care and thought.
    It's hard to recommend due to controls, but as someone that grew up with metroid hunders (DS) it fitted me very well. I think a modern version of the same game would be a hit, especially if they can somehow get local multiplayer and allow players to pick popular loadouts as "rentals" (so save time for the guests).

    • @phoenix5029
      @phoenix5029 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

      probably what I like most about the balancing is that it can penalize you if you try to be too OP... and incentivizes you to dial it back a little
      yeah, you got a powerful weapon that wrecks Single Player, but if you don't tone it down in Multiplayer, it wouldn't be hard to expect everyone to go after you because your weapon eats the biggest chunk out of the team's HP in Light VS Dark (and your OP weapon is GONE from the round if they make you the angel)

    And Light vs Dark had a surprising amount of depth. The health that was taken from the team bar is based of off the dieing players weapon power. The stronger the weapon, the more team health lost.
    And the multiplayer is where all the weapons and types really got to shine. Every weapon played different, and had different strengths and properties.
    Always hoped to hear that there was some group out there keeping the game alive like the N1GP did for mmbn.

    Just finished replaying the game. No literally, just before watching this.
    I played it when i was like 9 or so - turns out i put 100 hours into it, which was a lot for me back then. I was right to do so. The writing is hilariously simple yet layered, breaks the fourth wall in the best way possible - the characters are presented seamlessly and you fall in love with them immediately. The first mission opening with "Sorry to keep you waiting!" is sheer art, and speaking of, the 2d art is really well done.
    The story itself, while not being perfect, is very intelligent and is aware of its own elements, introducing things in the beginning and bringing them back around to the end.

    My favorite 3DS game and dare I say one of the greatest games ever made. Lovable characters, an engaging story that could be as easy or hard as you wanted, incredible soundtrack, and that Sakurai magic that makes its gameplay immaculate. The best online experience in any Nintendo game by far, a weapon fusion system I’ve been begging to be included in modern looter shooters for a decade, Dark Pit, the positives just go on. The only bad thing I can say about the game is the controls, and even then I never personally had a problem with them. It being on 3DS was perfect since I always had mine with me in high school and grinded for better Magnus clubs and needle palms. Once again you guys have amazing taste in games you cover. Keep up the great work.

    The fact they never made a sequel or remaster for the switch or even just release on the wii u like smash 4 is MIND BLOWING it could’ve worked soooo well after having uprising as such a unique game with a lot more depth and content than you’d expect. Although the way they used both screens of the 3ds was really smart.

    It's is by far my favourite game on the 3ds and one of my favourite games of all time. Literally the only bad things about it are the fact that it is on the 3ds. None of the gameplay is bad in any way, even the difficulty gate on the weird moon stage that is hard as balls to get to I still consider fair and enjoyable. Let's all hope for a new game in the series as good as this one or even a port to the switch :)

    Kid Icarus Uprising was the best 3DS game. It fully utilized everything the console had, even having the 3D be useful since distance is an important factor in a shooter which lead to me trying it and kinda liking it for the rail shooter segments. The best part about the game, the conversations, would infuriate me on any other console. On a single screen, you would either have disembodied voices constantly nattering or cardboard cut outs plastering over the gameplay.

    Myself and many others during the time of release would have competitive clan tournaments, though our ruling grew nuanced over time. Once the team health bar ran out and Pit/Dark Pit spawned, that game would be over. A few weapon+ability combinations eventually got banned too, though the main one was Eyetrack Orbitars + Energy Charge + Slipshot. It was too powerful on too many of the maps, and without the ability to select maps/counterpick, games became too much dependent on which map was selected with a combo like this. There was a lot of super interesting team synergies and plays you could do though, I hope for nothing more than a sequel or even a remaster with more developed features.

    While I never played the game, my friends did and they absolutely loved it. I remember they brought their 3DS to school one time, and I wanted to play it.
    There was one detail though: I'm left handed. It was almost impossible for me to play it with the default control scheme, since I use the stylus with the left hand, but the movement and any other important buttons are in the left side. I tried it with the stylus in my right hand but I couldn't play it properly and didn't have fun lol
    I do want to get a new 3DS (or that one with the right stick) to give it a proper shot sometime.

    Sadly Uprising really does feel like one of those games that would be hard to bring over and translate into a home console release, they really did develop it with the 3DS specs in mind, but didn’t have the foresight that eventually the 3DS wouldn’t last forever. Plus even Sakurai said it would be very expensive to bring over to Switch and he needs the right team for the job, same thing has befallen Banjo & Kazooie Grant Kirkhope said there needs to be a right team for another Banjo game too.

    Kid Icarus would play really* well in other consoles, but saying that it was cursed by the 3DS is weird considering the fact that this game only* exists because of it.
    Uprising is a 3DS game first and a Kid Icarus game second.

    Growing up with this game was such a blast, my brother and I would battle all the time and had a heated rivalry, me with my +run speed and dash attack raptor claws and him with his ungodly high damage stats on his halo club.
    I was racing around like sonic the goddamn hedgehog and hitting people with brutal drive-byes or slamming them with a melee combo. Claws already had the fastest base run speed, and raptor claws were I believe the second fastest among claws, so combine that with a hefty speed modifier and even lightweight, and you could cross the map in literal seconds. Plus, my favorite thing to do was melee dash attack people and knock them off the stage for an instant KO. 😂 It was so satisfying!
    For my brother, on the other hand, the halo club is a is unusual among clubs in that it had pretty quick charge speed, and it’s dash charge shot had crazy range, super fast projectile speed, and strong homing. It was supposed to be balanced by the fact that it had low damage for a club, but what happens when you get one with nearly maxed out damage stars? You get a weapon that can and will snipe you from across the map in the blink of an eye and delete half your health bar in a single hit! It felt like getting hit by a truck, and here’s a casual reminder that it had HOMING.
    Needless to say, I became VERY good at dodging. ;)

    Playing Icarus PVP on launch bustled strong even a year post-launch. What's overlooked is weapon power crafting as risk-reward in Light vs. Dark. A casual hops in with a simple weapon dying not hurting team much as a hardcore getting smoked costing their team more than a third.
    The game encourages crafting as your skill improves tackling up to 9.0, you open new weapons designated for grinding, budget, and PVP or straight up busted to grow and love. Hated staves, saw Lancer Staff made with +3 Homing, +6 Forward Charge among modifiers. My one-way ticket annihilating Black Club +3 Homing Charge shot Spammers at opposite ends the arena (and normal games). Or Upperdash Arm +6 Melee-Dash attack. Point black 400+ or finisher if it whiffs at 271.
    Crescent Palm my beloved grinding and casual with +3 Heart Bonus up to 22k longer lvs. Less OP, but stand ground firing and if a pickle or hard foe to hit, back-dash charge an in-place crescent to escape and double as a finisher. Thank you so much bring Icarus up
