Pit Flies Again. Kid Icarus Uprising Is Getting A Remaster.




"Sorry to keep you waiting!"


I told you I had more scoops. This one is a big one. 


Kid Icarus Uprising is absolutely one of my favorite games of all time. The gameplay, story, voice acting, and excellent soundtrack has remained a part of me since I first played it a decade ago and I've replayed it many, many times since then. I treasure this game dearly. 


You'll be happy to hear that a full remaster of the game is in development at Bandai Namco. There will be a new, much more accessible control scheme and the visuals are getting a much-needed boost.



There is one snag, however. The game's multiplayer mode will return, but will reportedly be running on Bamco's legendarily awful netcode. If you've played any of Bamco's games online before (Smash, FighterZ, Tekken 7), you'll know how disappointing this piece of news is. 

Here's hoping that aspect changes before release.

Regardless, that's yet another beloved, long requested Nintendo game coming to Switch. I for one could not be more excited. 


This remaster is due for release sometime next year.

    Is it possible for you to show these two videos to the staff at Bandai-Namco to see what they think?

    Combat system nuances:

    Power System full coverage (VERY extensive):
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rxSL5VIEaAM

    Oh, and yeah, the thumbnail for the latter is from my demonstration about Power Thief, where I accidently invoked Poison Attack first in case you're wondering about the Poison Attack icon.

    I should also mention that I had learned after making the 2nd video that Celestial Fireworks counts towards the 3 Active Buffs Rule, but since most Celestial Fireworks flowchart is not going to involve having 3 Buffs in the first place, this isn't an acceptable check and balance against its abuses. I'll also cite for reference that I can be sure that Mega Laser's Cancel actually would be fair if it actually used the charge and was signalled to the opponent, simply because ML already uses a full line on the Power Grid.

    But anyway, I'm hoping that Bandai-Namco is listening to the input I provide in both of those videos.

    YESSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!! This game really needed another port to shine! A lot of people missed out on the original because of the controls giving them hand cramps.

The Next 3D Mario Is Ready To Go.

Image
  2024 is here, and after an insanely long six years of waiting, I'm now hearing that the next 3D Mario, set to launch with Nintendo's brand spankin' new console, was finished over the holiday season. This is standard Nintendo practice, many of their big games are done well before release. As was said before, this is EPD Tokyo's first full attempt at an open world game, and the game is said to look " Absolutely jaw-dropping". I can confirm a few other new things as well: Donkey Kong will appear in the game in some form. I'm unsure if he's playable, a boss, or an extended cameo of some sort. Given how Mario and DK have appeared as a pair in pretty much everything as of late, which includes the movie, LEGO sets, a remake of Mario Vs. DK, and now in theme park promotions, it only makes sense to continue that trend.  Luigi, Peach, Captain Toad and Pauline will all appear as well, though I'm unsure what roles they'll play in the game.  The other, mu...

Nintendo Direct Watch Season Begins NOW.

Image
We're starting 2024 with a bang. Didn't expect that, did ya?  Yup, I'm hearing from the usual sources that Nintendo is planning a Direct to air this very month. It could air from this coming week, to the end of the month.  Expect this to be "cleanup" for the Switch. Nintendo has been pretty silent since September, so expect more details on Paper Mario, Peach Showtime and a few other things. There's still a few surprises left in this old thing.  They have an obviously insane   of them, so it's smart to get Switch stuff out of the way earlier than usual this year.  Stay tuned here for more.

Mario Kart X Will Release In 2025.

Image
Now that Mario Kart 8 Deluxe's Booster Course Pass has finally come to an end, in spectacular fashion I might add, now the question being asked is "Well, what's next?"  Well, I finally have some more insight on that. The tenth (no, not ninth) installment of the Mario Kart series will release in 2025, which will be Switch 2's second year on the market. The intention is to release the title sometime before the system's second holiday on the market.  The title is being developed primarily by Nintendo EPD Production Group 9, with Bandai Namco Studios once again co-developing.  Additionally, Nintendo are sparring absolutely no expense with this game. This is apparently one of the most expensive games Nintendo has ever put into production. The next 3D Mario title is said to be "absolutely dropping" and this apparently looks even better. The game's visual fidelity is said to be a very high priority for them, meaning the game is gonna look good, damn goo...
