The man in charge of the 3DS lead title – Kid Icarus: Uprising – Masahiro Sakurai has told C&VG that Pit now feels like a new character and that there will be lots of different weapons in the game. The more the merrier!
“One thing I can talk about is that Pit uses a lot of weapons and this is a very important aspect of the game. There’s a wide variety of very different types of weapons. Each one is very unique and presents a wide range of gameplay possibilities and a multitude of ways to approach different enemies with different weapons. All of this weapon variation makes you feel like you’re playing the game with a brand new character because the feel is so varied when you use different weapons.”

With Nintendo already saying that they intend to push their online capabilities further with 3DS, it would not be a surprise to see their leading game for the console having online functionality.
“The online capabilities are currently being tested. There could be some versus play but we can’t go into any detail. There are a lot of capabilities that expand on what was in the DS that people are taking advantage of.” – Masahiro Sakurai
Thanks ONM

Kid Icarus was the main game used to show off the 3DS at Nintendo’s E3 conference and it didn’t fail to impress. Director Masahiro Sakurai spoke with techland about the title and had this to say…
TL: Sakurai-san, they kept your presence a big secret but I’m glad that we can get some time together. So let’s start with how long have you been waiting to bring Pit back.
MS: So, the revival of Kid Icarus actually began in Smash Brothers. We brought him back for Smash Brothers and I personally did all that design work. We made a decision to upgrade and re-envision what the character was like with some more current trappings. From that time I certainly had an interest in the franchise. Now this time around, the project actually began with an original game idea, and the match seem to be a good one for the mythology and the character Kid Icarus. So it just so happened that the game idea and the franchise matched in the project then start it from there.
TL: How is Uprising going to incorporate the fiction and the continuity from previous games?
