Pre-order Kid Icarus: Uprising, get 3D Classics original photo

Still on the fence on whether or not you'll be getting Kid Icarus: Uprising for 3DS when it's released this March? The fact that it comes with a stand not enough for you? How about a free download of the original NES classic, all gussied up in three dimensions?

Gamers who pre-order at GameStop, Best Buy, or Amazon will receive a bonus download code for the 3D Classics Kid Icarus. The download code will be delivered with the purchase of Kid Icarus: Uprising, and the offer is only good in the US only.

It's nice to see another NES title getting the 3D Classics treatment (and one that's actually worthy of the title "classic"). Will this sway you to pre-order the title? What other NES games are you hoping will eventually hit the 3DS eShop? SPECULATE!

Only in the US only!? My-my!

US only or US and Canada, normally promotions like this are for both countries... I don't really care either way since I have the original on NES but I'll still buy it from amazon and hope I get it.

Woah now. What do you have against Kirby's Adventure?! I was stoked to finally download that!

@Phoenix Gamma

I was referring more to Urban Champion and TwinBee than Kirby or Excitebike...

Personally, while it may seem a bit gimmicky, I really want to see more of the 3d Classics line. They haven't been releasing them frequently enough, so I'm really excited this is the next one.

Seriously though it was a classic. Just not in the US. Also a damn fine game. Nothing like Xevious. Nothing at all.

I agree that Twinbee is pretty good, I played it a lot when I was a kid on my cousin's pirate 100 games cart.

I'm still on the fence. I heard the control scheme for the game is complex so I will wait for a demo and try it out.

Captain skyhawk would be Rad, they were trying to be 3d anyway with the isometric view.

The original is dated, but still fun... I will buy(now pre-order) Uprising, so it's hard to complain about a free game. Still, I'd rather have the Game Boy sequel, please.
Also, fuck you, Eggplant Wizard.

I actually really don't like the original Kid Icarus. I think it's structure is too faulty to find entertaining. It's ridiculous that when the screen scrolls just too far, you can fall and die.

What other NES games are you hoping will eventually hit the 3DS eShop? Deadly Towers. Why not?

I'd love the old NES game North and South on the 3DS with multilayer. My friends and I used to spend hours playing that.

It's an SNES title, but Link to the Past would work well, especially if it comes 3D.
Also, the entire Mother series on one cartridge (for retail).
And while I'm at it, infinity raspberry flavored Tootsie-Roll Pops.

I also want Mother and/or Mother 2. I never ever got a chance to play them and them seem like pretty amazing games.

Oh... and pre-ordered. One of the best pre-order incentives I've seen recently.

Contra Please! Make the platforms pop & the behind view inside the base stages deep. After all Twin Bee was Konami I think.

Monster party would be so cool in 3D and yes it will be pre-order now

Kirby Super Star even that's an SNES game and I own a lot of multiple copies of it.

Also Mother games.
