Join friends through the 3DS Friend List in Kid Icarus: Uprising
Players will be able to join up with their friends online in Kid Icarus: Uprising. This can be done in-game, or, like Mario Kart 7, through the Friend List feature on the 3DS menu.
According to the official Uprising website:
“This option lets you play with any of the friends you have registered on your Nintendo 3DS system. You can also choose to allow your friends’ friends to play with you as well. Your friends can also choose to join you when you’re playing a game by using the Friend List on the Nintendo 3DS’s HOME menu. Note that they can not immediately join in a game that’s in progress. Instead they will be taken to the lobby to wait for the next game to begin.”
Kid Icarus: Uprising will be the second Nintendo 3DS title to take advantage of this functionality.
