The Light Myth: Palutena's Mirror / Kid Icarus Thread

[Bueno Excelente]

I dunno, for a shooter the camera is pretty dynamic.  I'm talking about whenever Pit is flying over stuff.

Still, the game chooses where the player goes and what he sees. So it's obvious there's more control.

The live stream was awesome and I got the Best Ending on the first run too~

Sakurai is the one giving Pit the new love again, eh?  Man, Geno is going to be pissed.

[Mirby]

If something goes wrong here, we can all yell out (say it with me):

SAKURAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!

[Bueno Excelente]

Seems like one hell of a shooter. I'm just worried about the controls.

[Hypershell]

It sounds to me like he's describing an analogue version of the Metroid Prime Hunters setup.  Not my favorite config, but it does work.  Pit's obviously a bit more nimble than Samus, though, so I'm wondering how dashing/dodging will feel.

Exactly what I'm worried about. Shooting with the left trigger? Balancing the DS on your left hand while using the stylus, or going mad with the thumbstrap or something?

Why can't it have more Panzer Dragoon-like controls? (Starfox-like, for all you Nintendites)

[Hypershell]

You might want to specify "traditional" Star Fox.  We're talking about a game with a touch screen, and we don't want anyone thinking that you're endorsing Star Fox Command's controls.  *shudder*

[Protoman Blues]

Looks very beautiful-icus!

[Hypershell]

Yes, yes they are.   I see no possible way to not love those visuals.

Medusa definitely looks darker/more sinister than before, too..

[Align]

Why does he have a gun?

[Hypershell]

Pit frequently changes weapons.  Recall, Palutena's Bow was highlighted in the first trailer, so I'm assuming that'll be a particularly powerful one, but not necessarily something he starts with.

[Acid]

Why does he have a gun?

To make the game sell more in America!

[Align]

I'm not really objecting, it just doesn't seem very Nintendo...

[Hypershell]

Oh, that.  Well, I doubt it's a "gun".  It's more likely a "blaster".

[Protoman Blues]

Actually, I think it's used as both a sword and a light blaster. Perhaps it's a Zapperblade? 

[Hypershell]

Makes sense.  I thought I noticed a "gunblade" aspect to one or two of them.

[Protoman Blues]

Hopefully he gets a Super Score as well!

BUMP-ICUS!

I want it so much!

[Align]

Uhm...

I don't doubt that it could be fun, but it sure doesn't look Kid Icarus-y

[Blackhook]

You expected it to be like the Nes version? Really? Kid Icarus had like two games (Nes and GB). How did you expect it to be Kid Icarus-y?

[Align]

More more-or-less greek references? Less shooty raily?
