Before Kid Icarus: Uprising became the carpal tunnel syndrome-inducing good time it is today, it began development on the PC and Wii. In a new Iwata Asks column, designer Masahiro Sakurai shares the story of development and some neat prototype videos showcasing Kid Icarus: Uprising as it was way before its E3 2010 unveiling. At the outset, Sakurai's company Project Sora didn't even have 3DS dev kits, so they had to start on PC and Wii.
The videos -- uploaded to YouTube by Siliconera and embedded above and past the break -- were created to illustrate Sakurai's vision to new dev-team members coming onto the project. Iwata admits the reason it took so long to get Kid Icarus: Uprising out the door was having to port the already established work on PC and Wii over to 3DS.

It's insane to suggest that Kid Icarus: Uprising could live up to over 20 years of hype, but it manages to fit in a lot for fans of the original NES classic. While Uprising takes Kid Icarus in a slightly different direction gameplay-wise, it succeeds on its own merits and warrants multiple return visits to Skyworld.

During a recently released edition of Iwata Asks, Nintendo President Satoru Iwata sat down with Super Smash Bros. developer Masahiro Sakurai to discuss his latest creation, Kid Icarus Uprising. The interview began with some discussion of how Uprising came about in the first place - which apparently stemmed from Iwata's desire for Sakurai to work on something original...

Kid Icarus: Uprising serves as a great introduction to the series, and one of the best games on the 3DS. From beginning to end Uprising is the most expansive 3DS title, besting even Super Mario 3D Land, making it a must have for every 3DS owner. It's well designed, well composed, and offers hours and hours of gameplay, making it hard to ask much more from Pit's first game since the early 1990s.
