Nice to see Nintendo still promoting Kid Icarus: Uprising. We shouldn’t be forgetting about the game so soon!

Since the March 23 launch of Kid Icarus: Uprising on the Nintendo 3DS system, legions of fans have experienced the game’s action-packed multiplayer features. To make it easier than ever for fans to come together, Nintendo of America has created a Multiplayer Battle Day Meetup Everywhere community that people can use to organize their own local Kid Icarus: Uprising multiplayer tournaments, meetups and social gatherings*.

Fans and Nintendo 3DS users are encouraged to get together and battle it out on Saturday, May 19, which has been designated as Kid Icarus: Uprising Multiplayer Battle Day. Using a broadband Internet connection or local wireless connection, players who own a Nintendo 3DS and Kid Icarus: Uprising can compete in the game’s frenetic multiplayer modes, whether battling it out in three-on-three Light Versus Dark mode or six-player Free-for-All mode. The 20 groups with the most participants will receive special Kid Icarus: Uprising premium items such as AR Card packs and T-shirts, while supplies last.

Footage of the “hidden” characters are included toward the end – be aware of that!


Sorry, European Kingdom Hearts fans. The just-announced Kingdom Hearts 3D “Mark of Mastery Edition” is for North America only. The official Twitter account for the franchise wrote earlier today, “this version is specifically for the NA release I’m afraid”.

Importing won’t do much good, unfortunately. Unlike the DS, the 3DS is region-locked, so you wouldn’t be able to play the North American version of the game on a European system.
