Kid Icarus To Return Alongside 3DS Launch

Finally.

The first title to make its public debut on the Nintendo 3DS this afternoon wasn't Animal Crossing. Instead, Nintendo featured Kid Icarus: Uprising, which is in development at Project Sora under Masahiro Sakurai's watchful eyes.

Uprising is being described as an "action-packed" blend of ground and aerial shooter combat with easy-to-master controls. The game will see the return of Pit who alongside the goddess Palutena, must beat back the Medusa's dreaded underworld army. It feels like 1987 all over again, right? 


The information about Icarus is light at the moment, but several screenshots and a video were handed out after the announcement at Nintendo's press briefing. Look out for Uprising when the 3DS launches. It's slated to release alongside the new and pretty sleek-looking device.
