Nintendo has published the Nintendo Direct broadcast for North America and you can check after the break for the segment dedicated to Kid Icarus: Uprising. There’s plenty of footage and talk about the game to enjoy.
Masahiro Sakurai has talked in-depth about Kid Icarus: Uprising in the recent Nintendo Direct broadcast, sharing that it’s possible to combine items within the game and also trade “seeds”, which allows you to make combinations with other players via StreetPass. In a similar vein, there is a weapon known as “Genesis” that you build by collecting its three parts. This is a single-use weapon, but fires a powerful blast.
As we’ve heard in the past, the game supports online play, and Sakurai mentioned that playing the game online “was very smooth”, even when playing with players outside of Japan. Support for SpotPass is also confirmed and will provide a new weapon to download every day. There’s lots of footage after the break.

Nintendo has confirmed, however, that the North American and European copies of the game will also include the cards. The cards can be used to see mock-battles between the game’s characters. There’s an example after the break.
