In the latest Nintendo Direct, Mr Sakurai, the creative force behind the world famous Super Smash Brothers ™ and Kirby ™ series made an appearance to talk about his latest game Kid Icarus™: Uprising. He commented on one of the forthcoming 3-on-3 multiplayer battles, while using the unique difficulty system – the Fiend’s Cauldron – which rewards the gamers with stronger weapons, as well as on the innovative AR Card feature within the game. He also introduced the StreetPass ™ functionality of Kid Icarus: Uprising, where players will have the ability to share one of their weapons with other Kid Icarus: Uprising owners. The selected weapon is turned into a Weapon Gem. Shared Weapon Gems can be converted into real weapons by paying Hearts. Players can also fuse Weapon Gems together by paying Hearts to create a more powerful Weapon.

The exclusive Kid Icarus AR cards will also be available through Club Nintendo. For 250 Stars you’ll be able to get 2 packs containing 6 AR cards each.
