Official website for Kid Icarus™: Uprising on Nintendo 3DS launches, as the countdown to launch begins!

Over 25 years after the launch of the original Kid Icarus, Kid Icarus: Uprising comes to Nintendo 3DS on March 23rd

14 February 2012 – Nintendo has launched an official website for Kid Icarus™: Uprising, which will be available exclusively for the Nintendo 3DS™ system across Europe on March 23rd. Over 25 years after the launch of the original Kid Icarus game for NES™, Kid Icarus: Uprising brings the action and adventure of this beloved series to new heights.


Last week, Nintendo announced “Uggie” as the company’s first “spokesdog”. What you may have missed is a small blurb at the end of the press release revealing upcoming plans to upload a demo for nintendogs + cats to the eShop:

“Nintendo will soon be adding a free playable demo of nintendogs + cats to the Nintendo eShop, so players can download the game and check it out at no cost.”

Nintendo has not yet shared a final release date for the nintendogs + cats demo.

Dead or Alive: Dimensions was one of the few early third-party 3DS titles to offer a valuable experience. Team Ninja added in online play, ongoing SpotPass support, and a bunch of game modes.

Even though it featured a great deal of content, Dimensions’ sales performance was disappointing for the studio. Team Ninja boss Yosuke Hayashi didn’t reveal specific numbers, but he did mention that he had “hoped people would be playing more portable consoles out there”.

Hayashi said:

“We believe we squeezed pretty much all of the horsepower out of the 3DS that we could have, really. In the performance sense we believe it was a great title. We hoped people would be playing more portable consoles out there but unfortunately that wasn’t the case.”
