I wasn’t particularly interested in Kid Icarus until the videos in this thread. Now I’m definitely going to play it.
[details=Spoiler]EDGE review score - 8 out of 10
On-rails segments are lustrous
Weapon upgrades are described as a mix between Zelda and Star Fox
Game would look great on any platform
Soundtrack, rich color palette, inventive third-person combat, and detailed character models are praised
Dungeons are complex
Combat is punishing
Depth/accessibility, not much is compromised
Reviewer likes how the loadouts encourage experimentation
Although the controls are initially “lopsided”, they work very well for on-rails segments
Blends influences easily[/details]
Also, Famitsu gave it a 40/40. Not really sure if that means anything, but I happen to enjoy pretty much every other game they scored perfectly.
The Last Kid Icarus anime they put on the nintendo video channel with Medusa was pretty awesome. Didn’t know that Cree Summer was doing the voice of Medusa.
Yyyyeah…I think that rumor is probably somewhat legit considering that GTTV is going to be at Junction Point studios this week with a full blowout on 'some game’
Metacritic consensus seems to be GDLKE game with ass controls, you move with left stick, look/aim with stylus…and shoot with R trigger? that sounds horrible hope you can change controls in the menu.
Finally tomorrow is almost here. Receive my pre-order text message from Gamestop today about picking it up. Hey Sonic you work at GameStop, if i lost my receipt will they be able to see that I pre-ordered it since I got the text message?
yes…They should be able too. They can look you up by phone number and last name. If you have a powerup card and you used it in the process of doing the reserve they can just scan that and pull you right up…makes things way easy.
Shooting with the L button doesn’t sound bad in fact I pretty much expected it to be that way. Of course it’s not going to be comfortable after playing it for awhile for a few people. It worked pretty well for Prime Hunters. Sakurai might have actually included a dual nub option if he had actually been told about the damn thing lol.
