Thanks, I'm aiming for a sorta children's storybook kinda aesthetic. I think I remember reading in an interview that Sakurai wasn't sure if he could make a sequel to Uprising just because of how hard it would be to match the insanity and crazy twists of the first game.

Nothing was left unfinished, and everything is just so perfect, the dialogues, music, backgrounds, characters, even the fucking menu aesthetic is great !

Actually, Sakurai said in an interview that developing Kid Icarus Uprising was pure agony because everyone on the team would never agree on anything, due to the vast different kinds of cultural backgrounds everyone on the team had. Which is probably why most games that involve any kind of religion, usually make up their own.

Allow me to expand on this with a concept I've had in my head for a while: Zeus, king of the gods, sends her eldest daughter Palutena to defeat the god of war, -Kratos- Ares, who has decided to build a massive army and take over the Underworld, Overworld, and Skyworld alike. (Hades hasn't become evil yet and is just fulfilling his duty as ruler of the Underworld). She gets absolutely DUNKED ON the first time so she goes to Dyntos, who creates the good ol' 3 Sacred Treasures, which she then uses to defeat Ares in spectacular fashion. We also get to see her relationship with her sister Medusa, who frequently helps her throughout her journey, kinda like Dark Pit in this game. Oh yeah and somewhere down the road Zeus dies somehow in like a REALLY sad way (sacrifice?), and the sisters become the new rulers of Skyworld. Medusa blames Palu for his death, which is what creates the discord between them. Roll credits. Yes, the real credits.

In Icarus, Hades is the bad guy, but he was a chill guy in mythology. Zeus on the other hand cheated on his wife, threw Hephaestus off of Olympus, and literally hit on other woman when his wife wasn’t around.

It’s great to see a recent video of Kid Icarus content with such great quality. This game needs a crap ton of love, and I’m crossing my fingers that one of the dlc for smash is Hades or Medusa to parallel what Sakuri did for Samus and DK, giving all original NES characters their villains. Then upon the dlc release, he announces a new Kid Icarus game like they did with Isabelle.

They always make Hades the bad guy even though he was one of the chillest of the olympians. Like even Athena out of pettiness cursed someone to be Medusa. More accurate would be making Nyx the main bad guy as she basically created suffering and is hierarchically more powerful than the olympians (though as she also represents the unknown, there wasn't much else told in the mythology)

And I'd think that, perhaps, most people who've played good video games end up recognizing female (or man) characters who intrigue and interest them. When I was asked back in the old times, “Who's your Waifu”, in the sense of “favorite female character you'd like to know irl if you could” I'd answer Phosphora, I remember her as a fun, dynamic and energetic character. I still really like her charadesign and what little memory I have of this great game, but yes she's the best character in this game for me and I would have loved the character to have been more developed, and also I wouldn't make that kind of statement anymore these days ahahaa.

Uprising could honestly be one of the most underrated 3DS games. It feels modern in a lot of ways many 3DS games didn't even when they first came out. It's so much fun. Epic in action, large in scale, with great voice acting and funny as hell. And, fuck it, I like the 3D with it -- it's one of the few games that really takes advantage of that feature. (Which, ironically, probably didn't help it with the mass market.)

[@Anoushkahopman]

Actually, as the last question to comment your favourite character- Mine actually has a personally important reason. I got into the game when I was 10-12, with Kid Icarus uprising. I barely understood English back then, yet I absolutely adored every second of that game. Pitoo and Pit were my obvious favourites, but Pit actually went one step further- literally manifesting as my imaginary friend when I was younger. It was just for a short while, but if I remember correctly I was able to "see" him for a short while. I remember very clearly being on the swings with him. That's why this franchise will always be very important to me. It holds part of my childhood very closely tied to it.
