Did they confirm if multiplayer is online or local?

 

Nope.

 

It's kind of pathetic that we have to wonder if a multiplayer mode, that's talked about as a main feature, is online.

 

My guess is "no".

 

I'd also really like to hear about any alternate control methods.

The 3D trailer looks great!

 

Some moments of the single player gameplay/cutscenes look stunning!!

 

Not convinced by the multiplayer yet though, can't help feel it's just been tacked on. But still, I doubt I'd use it much anyway, I'm only interested in the single player atm.

 

That guy with the sword doesn't seem to fit in much, wonder who he is.

Some nice footage there, the guy playing it seemed to make it look more uncomfortable than I suspect it actually is... if I'm playing a 3DS/DS game that requires constant use of the 'L' button and touch-screen then I tend to have the unit a bit more 'flat' against my palm, in the video it looked like whoever was playing effectively formed a 'claw' with their left hand which looked quite awkward to me.

 

The game however looks most excellent. :)

Hmm... to be honest I feel like I've kinda lost interest in this game.

 

Is it just me or does it somehow feel like it's getting worse the longer they spend on it?

 

In terms of the voice acting, certainly. It also looked a bit more framey in that video, but maybe it's just me.

 

I have to ask though, why are people bothered about the controls? As long as the touch screen is responsive then I assume it works at least as well as any of the FPS games on the DS, which were fine to me.

 

Unless it's because the 3DS is heavier?

It's the classic issue of overworking something. The longer a game takes to make, the less it stays true to the original vision.

 

That said, I have to be honest, I haven't been following this closely, and it doesn't look any worse to me. I still think they should have kept more to the original formula though, because surely when people said they wanted a new Kid Icarus, they meant they wanted a new Metroid-type game, like the old ones?

It LOOKS incredible... Stunning graphics. I'm still very interested; especially to hear more about the online mode!

 

At the moment it's still just "multiplayer". I don't think they've mentioned online yet.

 

Is there any chance this will use the Circle Pad Pro?

@Retro_Link I thought exactly the same, I was so hyped for this a year ago but the longer they spend and the more I see, the less interested I am.

@Cube I've heard nothing about it but I assumed one of the reasons for the delay was so that it could use the Circle Pad Pro.

 

And it's probably just because it's been up-scaled but I actually think the graphics look terrible

I highly doubt they changed the voice acting/dialogue since the last time we saw the game. Pit has some of the exact same lines! :heh: That trailer literally brought us nothing new, other than Dark Pit.

 

If they're delaying this so it can use Circle Pad pro for lefties... I'd say that's an incredibly valid reason.

For me, its one of the games that sold the 3DS. But I have to agree with @Retro_Link I am loosing interest. The art style was never great, the combat looks dull and, as I mentioned earlier, I am bored to death of the dark spin Nintendo are putting on their characters: Samus, Mario, Link (albiet, brief) - can they not think of any new new ideas after 20-something years?
