Kid Icarus director Masahiro Sakurai has revealed via Twitter that Kid Icarus: Uprising has finally gone gold. Sakurai thanked all those that were involved in the game’s development and also joked that maybe he’d finally be able to rest up on Saturday and Sunday. Now he’s done with Kid Icarus lets hope that work begins on Smash Bros for Wii U and 3DS.

Forgive me for asking, but what does going gold mean? That production is finished?
Yes. Production is complete. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_master
Thats what I was wondering. I thought “going Gold” meant the game like got players choice of the year..or something like platinum hits.
but the would be impossible since the games is not out
Gold is the term used to describe the stage in a game’s development when everything is thoroughly tested and all members of the team have agreed that every aspect of the game is in its final version and can not be changed or improved upon any further.
Essentially, it means the game is ready to be released.
Ah! Gotcha
dang now they finished
finally! smash bros for Wii U! if we’re lucky, we’ll have a teaser for it by E3 2012!
^This
Personally I am so excited I would settle for a CGI trailer just showing a new character or two or maybe of the story mode.
…can the game come out earlier then? : >
Please?

Well it takes time to manufacture enough copies of the game. Then to hype it up and ship it to stores.

In the US going “gold” means you sold 1/2 a million, dunno about elsewhere
Ah, I understand. See Wikipedia article above
They’re using gold in the terms of the gaming industry. Which basically means they’re done developing it.
Nice! Well I think Sakurai should have a vacation or something before he starts the long haul that is Smash Bros WiiU/3DS!
Lets hope they begin announce some characters by E3
Mario and/or Link will be in there. :>
Hmm…I think Luigi will be there too! We might be on to something here! Any guesses for Samus?
I know it’s a stretch, but I hope they include Kirby this time.
You know what’s even more of a stretch? Pikachu. I’d be surprised if he got in.
I don’t care about SSB4 right now. I’m just glad to hear this epic game’s done. CAN’T WAIT TILL MARCH!!! XD
can’t wait to play
By the time Kid Icarus: Uprising is released, I would love to see that game goes PLATINUM!!!!!!

Great news! It will keep me wondering if they’ll release a trailer or something of Smash Bros by E3!
Not this one, but certainly at E3 2013.
Rest well Sakurai, from the previews posted yesterday you deserve it.
Hoping The Blue Bomber will be considered for SSB4. Us Mega Man fans need a pick me up after the disappointment with no Legends 3 for 3DS.

Rest well Sakurai! You will need it in order to out do yourself with the next Smash Bros. installment. I have complete faith in you though.
Nice to know Kid Icarus Uprising is done, here’s hoping for a Smash Bros 4 trailer at the next E3. Heck, maybe even a Smash Bros Dojo equivalent for Smash Bros 4?
yeah lets hope for another site like they did for brawl.
