Kid Icarus Uprising is the best Starfox game AND Adventure Time game

Wyborn

FACT: Kid Icarus Uprising is great

FACT: It is a fun game with a good story



FACT: Your boss is Liara T'Soni by way of angel anime.



FACT: One of your enemies/erstwhile allies is Princess Bubblegum.

FACT: I beat this game last week and it was real good. Better setpieces that any Starfox game, and super nuts the whole way through, and did some things with tone and narrative I didn't expect in a few chapters

FACT: the controls for this game are garbo on a standard 3DS

That it didn't come out for something like the Wii or WiiU will forever be a mystery to me

Because the game seemed awesome

But it was so uncomfortable to play

Does this game make people feel that Dark Pit was a good character pick for Smash 4?

Inquiring minds would like to know

Dr. Flamingo

Dark Pit is fantastic. I don't know if I woulda picked him for Smash, though...

Oh Christ no, that was still a silly thing to do

Like it's fine, he's a clone so it's fine

But no that game didn't need him at all

Dr. Flamingo

I get frustrated with people complaining about Dark Pit in Smash, he's just a free extra character. But I don't have any right to get pissy about the complainers, considering I feel the same way about Dr. Mario... :rotate:

Hearing Bubblegum go nuts about metanarrative inter-universal continuity was one of the funniest things in that game

wyborn how did you handle playing this without it destroying your wrists

did you use the stand, tweak the settings at all, etc. I've had the game for over a year but still haven't tried it

Wyborn

I did up the horizontal turn speed for ground battles but mostly left the controls alone

The real trick is to take breaks. It's no nonsense that the game necessitates a style of play that can be stressful given the weight of the console, but it is possible to mitigate fatigue by finding a relatively comfortable position and limiting yourself to one mission per sitting. You can do another one after taking a break for ten minutes, say.

Over time you get more used to holding the game and the stress it puts on your hands becomes less pronounced - it actually disappeared, for me. But at the start, the key is to take it easy and to take breaks.

Viridi is the best, and it isn't even close.

And considering how great the rest of the cast it, that says a lot.

I got it when it came out, played a few chapters and then put into my eternal backlog. Maybe I'll go back to it...next year.

Always struck me as weird that Nintendo hasn't done anything for the series since Uprising. I guess it didn't sell?

Game's super charming and fun though.
