Project Sora 'testing' online multiplayer for Kid Icarus: Uprising
According to a GamesMaster interview with Project Sora head Masahiro Sakurai (excerpted by ONM) 3DS flagship title Kid Icarus: Uprising might feature Kids Icarus, plural. "The online capabilities are currently being tested," Sakurai said. "There could be some versus play but we can't go into any detail. There are a lot of capabilities that expand on what was in the DS that people are taking advantage of."
If anyone's going to make a 3DS online game happen, it's Sakurai, one of the few Nintendo developers to make an online game (Super Smash Bros. Brawl). But how would a versus mode work in an on-rails shooter -- score competitions?

Shooter, platformer,a mix of both?
I think people are getting pretty hyped over nothing special.
It doesn't matter what kind of game it is.
Kid Icarus was amazing.
You have poor taste.
KI was decent. It wasn't super great or anything, but it wasn't shitty.
It was just another nintendo game, in other words. Kind of like Metroid until it got a sequel and everyone was like "OMG THIS GAME IS SUDDENLY CLASSIC NOW"
Kid Icarus was pretty shitty, though for it's time thats hard to say because the formula back during it's time was to make it so you could barely complete a task and then throw a plethora of cheap tricks at you mid-game only to be rewarded to a lackluster ending once you surpassed the sub-human difficulty level. Though either way it was just a failed attempt at combining the concepts of Metroid and Mario into an entirely new game, the only reason anyone cares about Kid Iracus now is because of Super Smash Bros. Same thing with Earthbound and F-Zero.
