forever thinking about that one tweet just calling this space harrier with a whole season of seinfeld blasting in your ear

A must play 3DS gem, the story is very fun to follow, might not be the best one out there specially since it has a lot of fourth-wall breaks that might be get annoying after some time but still a really great experience. The soundtrack has to be one of the best i heard. It has online play but personally never got to play it too much, sadly online services shut down but you can still play it with a third party service called Pretendo and check if someone wants to play.

So I'm only chapter 3/4, kind of forgot. But I've gotta say for what it is, I love this game. The humor is great, and I love some good ol' comedy. And the gameplay is stellar despite the limitations it had.

One of the most fun games I've ever played. The art direction is incredible, the music is phenomenal, the writing is HILARIOUS but knows when to take itself a little more seriously, and despite the odd control scheme feels really good to play and is very responsive. There's so many ways to play and a lot of replayability with all of the difficulties, weapons, and abilities to collect, fuse, and use. R.I.P. online matches.

I got this when it came out just on a whim and became obsessed with it fast. Great visuals, great writing, funny dialogue, beautiful soundtrack, actually FUN multiplayer that sadly never took off, I could go on. Everyone complains about the controls, but I honestly think they need to grow up. They're not that bad. Still praying to this day that Nintendo will consider a remake or even just a port to next gen consoles because this game deserves much more love than it received. Criminally underrated classic from the 3DS era.


Besides the control issues one of the best entries on the 3DS and one of nintendo's best in general. It needs a remake!

Aussi cool que court, réveillez moi cette licence

on my death bed ill still be saying “kid icarus is so coming back”. i have that much faith.

Juego excelentísimo, jugabilidad y misiones bastante entretenidas y divertidas.
A pesar de que prácticamente Kid Icarus solo había tenido un título en los 80's, el estudio que está encargado de este juego logró hacer un muy buen trabajo. Hay bastante que sacar de esta saga, así que ideas para una secuela no van a faltar.
Mejoras y trofeos y demás, no son tan mi especialidad, me dedique solamente a jugar y ya esta.
La historia es simple, pero da bastantes vueltas para alargar el juego, cosa que no veo mal, ya que no es como que el juego merezca durar poco xD.
Lo jugué en la 3ds.

i think i just am not super into the genre or something....

-1 point for being inaccessible to anyone who isn't right handed or ambidextrous though lol

Creo que los rail shooters son lo más cercano en la actualidad a Dragon's Lair. Una peliculita animada en la que no dejan de suceder cosas rimbombantes de fondo mientras como jugadores nos limitamos a una suma de comandos anecdótica. Nada de lo que ves se siente real y encima todo está sobrelabrado. Cada animación de caminar, de disparar, de atacar, de esquivar es excesiva a la vista en esta estética kingdomheartera de polígolonos inflados y destellos para todo. Y entre tanto artificio está un sistema de control que te desliga más todavía de lo que acontece. Con todas las acciones posibles en un único botón se crea una falta de consistencia constante. Pegar cuerpo a cuerpo y disparar se hacen con la misma acción, girar la cámara y apuntar lo mismo, o moverte y dashear. Y no es un asunto de sistema de control extraño al que cuesta acostumbrarse (estoy jugando Resident Evil 5 en paralelo y su control es tan peculiar como consistente), es un tema de falta de saber ligar todo este desorden de animaciones, acciones, destellos y juego de cámara en un sistema compacto. Porque entonces se perdería la pretendida espectacularidad de estos juegos donde hay que creerse que lo que ves y juegas es lo más increíble que has visto y jugado nunca.

NINTENDO ... PLEASE......... FOR MY SAKE......... SAVE US FROM THIS HELL AND GIVE US KID ICARUS UPRISING 2

I would not have any objections to Sakurai retiring Smash if it means he gets to make more games like this

LET'S FUCKING GOOOOO. MEDUSA IS HOT NOW?!

glad i'm not the only person rating this one as a 5/5

Need to play again. Make more Kid Icarus games Nintendo

It gave me carpal tunnel at age 12 and again at age 20 but its so charming and fun and well paced and extremely unique. The tonal balance between constant witty and humorous banter (that isnt grating) and a story that actually can surprise you at times is done really well. I still think about chapter 18 every now and then. These characters are really memorable and its impressive what they were able to do narratively and character wise with what is essentially a 3d on rails shooter. god what a fun game the only reason i wouldnt give it 5 stars is purely cause there isnt a way to play this, even with emulating, that doesnt make you feel like you should have stretched before hand

Comedy game that was actually funny

loses a full star because my hands really hurt

I don't get why the didn't follow up this game already...Hades MVP!


Bring this game to the Switch already!!!
