New Kid Icarus 3DS Game Could Feature Multiplayer

[Terminator02]

It’s been over twenty years since the first Kid Icarus title and the times have changed. Fortunately, main character Pit is progressive enough to evolve along with them. In addition to going three dimensional and becoming more of a Sin and Punishment style shooter, it sounds like Nintendo’s update to the Kid Icarus franchise might also feature multiplayer.

Masahiro Sakurai, Kid Icarus Uprising’s game designer, recently told U.K. magazine Games Master that, "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."

I really hope they don't use friend codes.

Same. It's a freaking horrible system. I don't even bother with online on Nintendo consoles anymore. I seriously hope it's account based.

Well that means we have to pay some contribution in order to have better wifi. Once they get the taste of overhaul server maintenance, they will think twice why do they even bother.

i think the configuration was giving many or most ppl probs... they should be able to make the 3ds connect to any connection like a computer (albeit through wifi but atleast without a router)

Provided it doesn't use friend codes and with it being a Sin and Punishment style shooter it'd need to be WAAAAAY longer than the last offering on the Wii, this should be epic. As in 'justifies buying the console on launch day' epic. And I am dead serious. The 3DS is the first console in a long time that I've seriously considered the possibility of buying it before waiting to see how it grows.
