Just saw the latest trailer for the game <here> and my life it looks gorgeous. I think this has to be my most anticipated 3DS game.
Not sure if we have a true release date, as it stands at the moment it's a vague March 2012 for Europe. It's been in development for a long time now and you can see the quality shining through, for me no PS Vita game looks even half as exciting as this. It also looks perfect to show off the 3D capabilities. Who else is excited about this game?

How good does that look! I also understand the mystery behind the game coming packaged with that stand, it's because the gameplay is said to be pretty intense and it's said to be more comfortable to play it with the 3DS resting in it. Not the greatest idea for a portable system but what can you do? It is perfectly playable without it though. I can't wait for this one.
It is coming to UK on the 23rd March!

Can't understand a word of it but it looks awesome.

Wonder if they'll do that here?
doubtful, no one will know who or what it is...
the japanese are nuts..
Doubt it - remember, it comes with that stand and AR Cards, so it's probably way too expensive.
Oh and in other news, I received a new Kid Icarus puzzle to fill in my Streetpass game a couple of days ago...... More pink pieces to try and find!
Oh yeah I forgot to mention that I watched a video of the western release the other day and the voice acting was horrible imo. I can only hope they allow an option for Japanese voice overs with subs but if not it's not going to spoil it for me, it just would of been nice.
I don't know if we clarified the need for the stand but it's because the game makes heavy use of the L button along with the analogue and touch screen, that means you're really only holding one side of the unit which could get a bit uncomfortable for long periods of play. Having a stand makes sense but by no means is it imperative.
Lastly the hands-on verdict in the latest Nintendo Gamer stated that the game is very tough, almost unwelcoming and the control method is at first hard to get used to. But once you get over this it opens up into a very satisfying game. I'm happy to hear the game is tough.
if its anything like the 3d classics version, i cant get past the second screen, the one that has the nail sticking out of the ground..:o

WOW!! :cool:
To be fair Nintendo have been working on it for so long now and when they do that nothing but greatness usually follows.
Buy Kid Icarus and get 30 AR Cards free.

Sadly, no UK site seems to be doing the same.
They're also selling AR card packs over there individually for 10.99 euros
Wish me luck
I'm not 100% on what the AR cards do in this game, I'll probably get them for collection purposes regardless but I have read they are used in pretty interesting ways.
9/10

The 3DS is coming into a class of it's own at the moment;)
