Although Kid Icarus: Uprising lead designer Masahiro Sakurai confirmed he has no plans to make a sequel to his third-person shooter for Nintendo 3DS, he never said he wasn’t going to port the game to other platforms. Kid Icarus: Uprising would probably function well on Nintendo’s upcoming console, especially because of its controllers’ dual analog sticks, and Amazon.fr is currently listing a Wii U version of the game.
This would be great!!!!
Concidering Reggie said that there are “Unannounced Wii U Launch Window Games” I am going to believe this. After all the french have always been trustworthy (After all 01net, a French publishing site was the one who first knew about “Project Cafe”
that would be aweome, an HD kid icarus!
”Kid Icarus uprising HD” with touched up 1080p graphics = giga sold .
My body is ready!
Oh snap! no they didn’t
I highly doubt this.
Rule #1: Never underestimate Nintendo; Rule #2: It does everything; Rule #3: Kid Icarus is one of the franchise characters in the Nintendo roster; and Rule #4: Support!
Rule #5: Please stop making such faggy comments.
Rule #5: Nintendo hater, suck my dick!
Rule #6: Nintendo stocks have went up to 380 yen per share according to Nikkei.
Rule #7: some people just make rules for the sake of making rules.
Rule#7: YOU DO NOT TALK ABOUT FIGHT CLUB.
Rule #8: Never yell out “FIRST!” on your first comment.
Rule 34: If it exists-
Rule 35: THERE ARE NO RULES!!
Rule 36 BUY ME PIZZA
Rule 37 is all the rules + infinity p.s. :() ( I WANT THIS GAME ON WII U)
I highly doubt that this is real- barely anything revealed by retailers in this way ever is, but if it is true, this would be awesome. I do love the 3D though, so that might be a drawback.
They said the same thing bout Luigis Mansion months ago.
Wii U supports 3D ^.^
Or, Amazon are smoking crack again.
I second this.
Probably this.
There is no or, this is a fact!
Not believing it.
Reblogged this on Nintendo Wire.
POOP!
I’m all for this if it actually has good controls, unlike the 3ds version
I can’t imagine a single control scheme that would be good both in the air and in the ground.
I play with the stylus while in the air, and with the ABXY buttons while on the ground
Customizable controls? That and an HD makeover would make this game soar from store shelves (pun definitely intended).
Oh, and adding in Accomplishments and 3DTV compatibility, this would become a must-buy for Wii U.
The controls for the 3DS version were OK, is just that I had to change it every time I moved from the air to the ground. And then again when starting a new stage. If I could simply choose a control scheme for each mode, it would be good enough :)
And I couldn’t care less about Accomplishments and 3D.
I absolutely loved the control scheme.
Sure it took some getting used to, but I thought it was ingenious.
I second that.
I don’t get this “bad controls” gripe, I love the game and I think the controls work just fine… if you stop complaining about them and adjust to and learn how to use them well, they work great.
WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU!!!Do you even have that game?I play best with those controls!I COULD BEAT YOU SO BAD IN MULTIPLAYER
This isn’t going to happen. If it does though, I’ll gladly buy it again. I would love to play it on the big screen, in full HD with proper control.
Do not cast doubt on our fair company, we aim to deliver and deliver we shall!
Mr.Iwata im a huge fan of your company and we cannot cast doubt on ninty (*starts crying* *takes out autograph book*
*signs book* you are a true disciple of Nintendo, you should join our highly professional ninja squad
This game sucks big time!!
Not really.
best handheld game of all time ….
The Ace Attorney series and Ghost Trick series would force one to disagree with you,
So would links awakening DX , oracle of ages , oracle of seasons , minish cap ,metroid fusion and everything on the GBA , ds and 3ds .
Kid Icarus’ controls were weird. Why didnt they bundle the circle pad pro in with it? dumb move by nintendo. they woulda sold a LOT of circle pads.
You can’t play Kid Icarus using the Circle Pad Pro to move the reticle. It’s only for moving your character.I thought this has been answeredabout a hundred times, and still people complain..
“The World Ends With You” says hello!
i want another TWEWY!
Prepare yourself for swift and brutal retribution!
Banzaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiiiii
Really? It’s one of my favorite games now that I’ve beaten it. The story was great, it had a lot of content, the dialog was clever and the graphics were gorgeous.
I want Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 on the Wii U so Bad!!!!!!!!! Forget Kid Icarus. Also…ninty give us ps360 games on Wii U as downloadable content! Make it happen.
this makes me happy about Kid Icarus: Uprising on Wii U
Reblogged this on falahultrachaos.
This good and all, but I’d rather have a brand new game than a game that came out less than a year ago.
People are so gullible.
Like when you believed the pricing that Amazon had for Wii U games was true?
When did I believe that? Show me when.
Or are you just reinforcing my previous comment and listen to a bunch of posers? Nice proving my point.
All of you are fucking posers, what makes you think you are so much superior? ;)
Because I am me, and you’re an Anonymous faggot.
Awww how adorable!!!!
Everyone’s equal.You lost more of my respect.
You’re implying I give an ounce of a fuck what kind of respect I have out of you. Trust me, you’re not even on my radar when I comment here. So consider yourself lucky to even have a reply out of me, you insignificant little shit.
Good for you.
Awww. Someone has a superiority complex, don’t they? How cute. That explains a lot, I’m surprised I never saw it before.
Oh, great. We’ve got a retard that doesn’t understand the idea of ‘time’.
I think a Kid Icarus Uprising 2 could/should be on Wii U, but not a port of the 3DS. I can’t see it selling well unless they make it cheap. Rebuying the same game for a few upgrades?
Lol it happens all the time, look at GOTY editions, Resident Evil series, HD “remakes”, Prime trilogy, etc.
Prime Trilogy? That’s different, that was $80 for 3 full games. So yeah, it was cheap.
Also I hadn’t played any of them before so ABSOLUTE STEAL for me.
No I was just saying that companies re-release titles all the with few upgrades, and Metroid Prime Trilogy (which was not a bad deal 3 critically acclaimed titles with the awesome Wii Remote control, updated visuals, and a few bonuses for 50 bucks when it 1st came out) is a collection of 3 games that were re-released.
Oh my god! Oh my god! Please be true! This game is so amazing!!!
I beg of you Masashiro Sakurai, please make this into a game for the Wii U with additional content, new stages, more characters to play as, and an additional story. That’d be beyond epic
We at Nintendo aim to create a fantastic new home console with many games. Kid Icarus may be ported to the Wii U or there may be an upgraded or entirely new version for the Wii U. The fans shall have to wait and see! However I am placing the lethal Nintendo death curse on Amazon for revealing such vital information that may or may not be true
-_-
Lol, I so want it to be true!
WHY DOES IT HAVE A WII LOGO *FACEPALM*
It’s a mock box art dude. Chill. Really just chill. The world didn’t end the past ⑨00 games this has happened to.

Would be awesome if they upgrade graphics, port it to wii u, and take advantage of wii u 3d capabilities!
What 3D capabilities does the Wii U have? :?
Lol Captain Obvious stated somthing… not obvious. In fact its plain wrong! :P
Ha! I thought so. I’ve been up on my Wii U news and have NEVER heard that. :P
The Wii U was already announced to support optional 3D features long ago. So I assume you’ve been living under a rock till now.
⑨
good good let the hate flow
That’s probably why they delayed the game a lot
The wii u needs a game like this.
This is one of my favorites on the 3DS and would benefit from an HD upgrade. Bring it on!
I doubt this, but if it’s true, that’d be awesome.
I doubt it, but still it would be fucking awesome if this is true
Pingback: Amazon Francia lista Kid Icarus Uprising para Wii U | www.nextn.net
If that rumor is true, this is what the Wii U needs… more franchise characters. Let’s hope a Kid Icarus title becomes a reality for the Wii U.
a few months ago I found Paper Mario for DS on Amazon! (Not 3ds)! But a few days later they deleted the page…
SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!
Great post here mynintendonews, really imformative, i hope my blog reaches this quality! keep it up
BREAKING NEWS: Nintendo’s stocks have risen up to 4.46% at 10,080 yen!!!!

Cool but too much 3DS ports coming to Wii U may make it seem underpowered. Mutant Mudds, Mighty Switch Force, and possibly Kid Icarus Uprising.
I have the original, and I would buy it!
And i like the current controls, but they could make dual analogue another option along with the stylus. Plus, the name is perfect.
Kid Icarus: “U”prising!
Whether or not this actually happens, it’s a great idea. There’s much more for the hand to grip than on the 3DS, and with something to hold the Gamepad up (stand/charging dock) the player can use the stylus/analog stick/shoulder button scheme without having to worry about it slipping away.
I’m fairly certain the right analog stick would once again be used for lefties, so don’t hold your breath about dual-analog.
Pingback: Kid Icarus Uprising for Wii U? | Nintendo 3DS Daily
If it’s true, it’ll be awesome. A second stick for better control built in, the possibility of new levels and weapons, and maybe even the ability to synch up with the online of the 3DS version!
While the game would look nice in HD, id miss the 3D, this game looked great in 3D and id feel bad to have it gone. It would also benefit from the bigger screen. And they also better add analog stick control as an option. And no tacked on gimmicky motion controls, unless they allow you to point with the wii remote, I don’t want to have to shake the gamepad every 5 seconds. Also IF they do it, it needs to be able to play online or wireless with the 3DS version. But I highly doubt this is true at all though.
IF this is true, so much for me getting the Wii U Holiday 2013. :P
I’ll admit this sounds awesome, as I loved the 3DS game. My thing is though is how they would handle it. It’s not enough to just upgrade the graphics and have that be the only change. I think they need to expand the amount of content on the game, so it can have something the 3DS doesn’t have.
I heard that Sakurai said in an interview that Uprising originally was going to have 30 chapters. If that’s the case, they should try to implement those back in. I’d still like to see a chapter where Viridi is fought (she’s the only major goddess who isn’t fought).
Fighting and defeating Viridi would break the second half of the game, though…
That’s true, although perhaps it could be right after the Thunder Temple chapter and end with Pit convincing her to lay off on the humans for a while or something like that. It just would have been nice to see her more involved. I’d like to see how she would fight compared to the other gods.
I agree, new content would be a big selling point to folks who already own the 3DS version. To those who think it’s a lame idea, don’t buy it =) Stupid ideas still sell. Look at the Angry Birds Trilogy.
OMG! This would be amazing! I was just thinking how it was disapointing that Kid Icarus got a low score on the 3DS specifically for it’s awkward controls. On the Wii U with HD graphics better controls and AWESOME online multiplayer(the best part!) The game would easily score a 10/10: Masterpiece.
Doubt it’s true but hope it is – haven’t picked up 3DS version yet (I know, I know) so would definitely get on Wii U :)
I don’t blame you. For me, it’s either a handheld OR a console. My dual owning days are over. Don’t have the time for both sadly. :/
I don’t see this game benefiting from a port at all.
1. It’s built around a handheld experience. Chapters are short, it’s a pick up and play kind of game, not a sit on the couch for a few hours and play kind of game.
2. I was only released just this year for 3DS, how do you justify that? How does anyone even want that? I’d buy a sequel because it would have completely different content, but a port/HD remake? This soon? Why not just replay the game you already have?
3. The 3D, most people don’t realise, actually plays an important role in the game. Your aiming reticule is drawn to the depth it can fire at, that’s how you tell if an enemy is out of range or not. The WiiU version would lack this, and I wouldn’t be able to stand it personally.
4. If they were going to port it they would keep the touch screen aiming. Sakurai has stated many times why they chose that option over dual-stick and they would not change it for the WiiU.
5. The game is already so complete and full as it is, it wouldn’t benefit from extra content at all because there’s already so much there.
Don’t get me wrong, LOVE this game, one of the best handheld games of the year for me, I just don’t think it warrants or needs a WiiU port and it’d be disappointing to see such a move from Nintendo, unless they could seriously convince me otherwise.
Not that the source/story actually has any credibility, anyway. :P
While I can understand your points, you have to understand that putting the game as a port for the Wii U could be a good idea. There are many reasons why like, fixing the screwy controls, updating graphics, utilizing the Wii U’s online capabilities. Utilizing 3DS to Wii U connectivity, giving those a chance to play the game who either couldnt buy the game for 3DS at the time or did not want it maybe because it was on the 3DS in the firsg place and would be willing to buy it for Wii U. I dont see te 3D being a big deal as I dont use the 3D at allfor any game on my 3DS. I use it for cutscenes and that is 100% it… So it can go both ways as why TO and why NOT to port the game to Wii U.
See, I’m totally fine with the controls, they work great for me. The graphics are brilliant as they are, and I don’t play a game for graphics anyway. Wii U’s online capabilities are thus far largely unknown, though I can’t see the game getting any better from them, I play it online regularly and enjoy the experience just fine.
Just because some people haven’t played the game on 3DS doesn’t mean they should release it on Wii U for those people, I personally would feel totally ripped off if they released a remake within a year of original release.
Which is my main problem with it. If this were 4-5 years down the line I’d probably be all for it, and buy it myself. But this soon? I’d be very disappointed.
I’d prefer a brand new game, especially since it would pretty much make the 3ds version obsolete having a version with more features and hd graphics

FALSE… Dual analog is not a good replacement for stylus controls…

Um… The development team broke up some time ago, just a little while after the game was made. Unless the Wii U and 3DS versions were being made at the same time–or unless they got a whole new team for this–I don’t see how that’s possible.
You don’t think Nintendo can port one of their “OWN” games to one of their “OWN” consoles using a new team?
I have an article written up about how a prospective Kid Icarus sequel (or remake in this case) could be improved. I would love it if anyone here had suggestions, to comment them on my page. I’ll add the best suggestions to the article!
