Item Description

Pit cannot fly. The angel serving Palutena, goddess of light, can only take to the skies when she grants him the power of flight, and it lasts just five minutes before his wings burn out. That one rule shapes every chapter of Kid Icarus: Uprising, the 3DS revival of Nintendo's 1987 NES cult classic, and it gives the game a breathless, cinematic rhythm that nothing else on the system quite matches.

Each chapter opens with an on-rails aerial assault as Pit streaks through clouds, cities and stranger places, blasting swarms of enemies, before he lands for ground combat with free movement, dashes and close-range attacks. The whole time, Pit, Palutena and their enemies trade nonstop, fully voiced banter: jokes about health items, knowing nods to the original NES game and a running sense that everyone knows they are in a video game. It is some of the sharpest comedy writing Nintendo has ever published, and the story escalates far beyond Medusa's Underworld Army in ways best left as surprises.

Underneath the spectacle is a startlingly deep action game. Weapons come in nine classes, among them blades, bows, claws, palms, cannons and orbitars, each with its own feel, and a fusion system lets you combine two weapons into something new. The Fiend's Cauldron lets you wager hearts to raise the difficulty on a sliding intensity scale, earning better rewards and opening paths only the brave will see. Collectible powers fit into a grid like puzzle pieces, and a huge board of in-game challenges keeps rewarding you long after the story ends. The stylus-and-Circle-Pad controls take some practice, but once they click the aiming is quick and precise. Multiplayer was built around three-on-three Light vs. Dark battles and free-for-all matches.

Uprising was directed by Masahiro Sakurai, the creator of Kirby and Super Smash Bros., with his team at Project Sora, after Pit's appearance in Super Smash Bros. Brawl reintroduced him to a new generation. It is backed by a sweeping orchestral score from a group of celebrated game composers, and its blend of rail shooter, third-person action game and comedy has no real equivalent anywhere else in Nintendo's catalog. After more than two decades of silence since the NES and Game Boy games, Pit's comeback was worth every year of the wait.
