IGN: Kid Icarus Uprising Review

Kid Icarus Uprising is a fantastic game full of superb action, stunning graphics and art design, incredible music (truly some of Nintendo's best), humorous dialogue and solid gameplay. Despite that, it suffers from an equal number of problems, including some very frustrating and awkward controls, a fairly repetitive level structure, characters that talk too much and action that sometimes overwhelms the 3DS's relatively small screen.

... which is why it's a shame that it doesn't have an option to play the game with the original japanese voices.

yabhero4418d ago

Well if your not Japanese or don't speak Japanese what's the point?

AWBrawler4417d ago

I prefer my japanese games and shows with japanese audio. it's an otaku thing

yabhero4417d ago

I watch anime and stuff but i perfer dub. I really dont get fans who think the dub is horrible... no offense... sometimes it is... I cant stand how squeaky the girls sound. but for blaech and naruto i have to watch sub because theyre still dubbing

TheFirstClassic4417d ago

@yabhero You just said sometimes the dubs are horrible, a lot of times the english actors either have annoying voices, like this game for example, or they just don't convey the right amount of emotion like the japanese voice actors do. I generally perfer dubs though as long as they do a decent job of it, but there are still some animes I perfer to watch subbed.

I actually can't say exactly how I feel about these voice actors, but some of Pit's lines sound like they would get annoying. Still might get this game when I get my 3ds.

yabhero4417d ago

I never detect any emotio in Japanese... they all sound monotone or squeaky

AWBrawler4416d ago

Some dubs are well done, such as School Rumble and Fruits Basket, but they're rare for me. I hear Pokemon voice actors way too often

Nintendo 3DS Games We Still Love Playing Even Today

BLG writes: "While it didn’t sell as well as the Nintendo DS, the Nintendo 3DS was nonetheless a wonderful system. And, while this may be a hot take, it’s easily my favorite handheld. Even more than a decade removed from launch, the system’s library has so many titles that feel as fresh today as they did back at release. While it was hard to narrow down, these 30 Nintendo 3DS games are emblematic of the system’s success."

I have to agree.
This game blowed my mind away at its time,
It was so epic in that little screen was pure magic. A real portable AAA game!
