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.”

Nintendo announces the upcoming release of Pandora’s Tower, the newest epic action RPG on Wii
14 February 2012 – Pandora’s Tower™ is the latest action-packed RPG to come from Nintendo and will be available across Europe exclusively on Wii™ from 13th April 2012. With real-time combat, motion controls, multiple endings and a unique relationship system, Pandora’s Tower offers a unique experience and an epic story that will keep you engrossed for hours.
In Pandora’s Tower you take on the role of Aeron, a soldier, as he battles to save his beloved friend Elena from a mysterious curse that is gradually transforming her into a demonic creature. Only by battling through the towers of a nearby fortress can Aeron save her from her gruesome fate. Using his sword and the magical Oraclos Chain, Aeron must defeat the creatures that lurk there and harvest their meat to feed to Elena. Only by eating all of the “master flesh”, harvested from the largest monsters within each tower, will Elena be fully cured of the curse and free from its monstrous grip.
