This Kid Icarus: Uprising trailer will talk you through some of the finer points of the multiplayer mode, as detailed in ourpreview. That is, unless you're epileptic, in which case you can't watch this video. Yes, those anti-epileptic lobbyist bastards got to the Nintendo corporation again. When will they ever stop?
Wow! I didn't expect the multiplayer to be very good, but this actually looks really fun. This seems like a good makeshift Smash Bros. until the real one comes out for 3DS in a couple years.
I wonder what kind of weed Sakurai and his team was smoking when they came up with Bowl Arm?
Anyways,at first I wasn't too convinced about the MP aspect of this game,but after watching the video a few times I can safely say that I will love it.
Any game that has a weapon called Bowl Arm deserves ALL of your playtime.
Looks pretty kick ass. Glad that the multiplayer seems fully fleshed out and doesn't come off as an afterthought like with Metroid Prime 2. Can't wait to finally get this!
Hate to be a downer, but does EVERY game now-a-days have to have a multiplayer? I mean really, they're more than likely making the single player shorter to shoehorn an average multiplayer into a game that doesn't need it. I'm a big Kid Icarus fan & will be getting this game, but it will be for the single player story not the multiplayer. I just hope the multiplayer does not take away for the single player experience.
This looks really good. It has elements of Smash Bros, while incorporating fun custom class mechanics of class-based shooters. At first I was just hopeful for the multiplayer to be good, but now I'm convinced and excited!

It's not an announcer; it's just a voice-over for the sole purpose of explaining the rules of the game.
