Masahiro Sakurai has released a video on his journey developing Kid Icarus: Uprising!
This is one of my top games of all time and I replay it a lot! I tend to dislike games with motion or touch controls, so it's a bit ironic this game became a favorite but the controls are well done for the 3DS. It's a unique game that Sakurai wishes he could bring out of the 3DS but he also states he needs a team around it! The weapons system, music, and comical dialogue are top notch.
A lot of work and love went into the original Kid Icarus: Uprising and the game is packed with content, too. It even had an online multiplayer battle, which I unfortunately never got to experience as I picked up the game way too late after its release. One of my best frens got me into it.
It has a niche but loyal fandom! The AR cards go for a lot of money now since each physical copy of the game came with random cards, too. It's a unique and memorable experience if you're able to get your hands on it nowadays. I can't say enough good things about it.
