“One thing I can talk about is that Pit uses a lot of weapons and this is a very important aspect of the game. There’s a wide variety of very different types of weapons. Each one is very unique and presents a wide range of gameplay possibilities and a multitude of ways to approach different enemies with different weapons. All of this weapon variation makes you feel like you’re playing the game with a brand new character because the feel is so varied when you use different weapons.” – Masahiro Sakurai
In the first Kid Icarus game, there were a few different weapons, but as a general rule the game stayed pretty similar throughout. Uprising is looking like it’s going to have a lot of different gameplay types, and if you match that with a lot of different weapons, it’s sure to be a very diverse experience!

Tetsuya Nomura wants to make The World Ends with You sequel
Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News | 6 Comments
This information comes from Nintendo Power…
“I’m really happy that the game was so well received in North America. I definitely want to make a sequel. I’m very busy working on other titles right now, but when the time is right, I would love to make another installment of The World Ends with You.” – Tetsuya Nomura
I’m not too sure how well The World Ends with You sold, but there’s no question that it had an overwhelmingly positive critical reception. There are also a ton of DS owners that greatly enjoyed the title. It’s nice to know that there’s a good chance we’ll see a sequel in the future… Perhaps on the 3DS?
Thanks to Slippy for the tip!
