Now that the media embargo has lifted, we can rush to our keyboards and breathlessly confirm the presence of space pirates (see: interstellar buccaneers; star-sea swashbucklers) in Kid Icarus: Uprising. Look for more in our hands-on preview later today.

Frickin' awesome! Looks like a good combo of shmup and beat 'em up.

Are those space pirates from Metroid?

At the 1:04 mark you can see the 'space pirates' and they look and move remarkably like the Metroid Prime space Pirates.

This game is the reason I knew I had to have a 3DS. SO PSYCHED!
I am blown away by the visuals, the attention to detail and the sheer number of weapons!! Geez... I thought we'd be lucky if the bow just split in to two swords =P

Kotaku's preview of this game has me super pumped. Looking forward to Joystiq's later today!

This actually looks pretty fun, assuming the control scheme isn't cumbersome.

Sin and Punishment + Final fantasy: Dissidia = My Approval
This might just be the game to make me buy a 3ds

I don't get it...space pirates, Kid Icarus, some mech-thing on his arm. Despite genre contradiction, it's shaping up to look pree frickin' sweet.

Bleh, new logo. I liked the old one better.
Anyway, it looks pretty exciting. I still want to know who the dude with the giant sword is from the other trailers.

Is there a better definition video? It looks quite awesome gameplay wise but I 'd like to see some real footage.

The continuation of the Kid Icarus/Metroid crossover gags?
YES.
YES.
