So Kid Icarus Uprising got a 40/40 from Famitsu

Don't much care for Famistu reviews...
And honestly wasn't too keen on this game until I saw the Medusa trailer.. and now I need it in my life.

This game is getting very mediocre to bad reviews everywhere else. Evidently the controls are not very good.

That was always my fears when first saw the game.

Not so much the on-rails stuff, but heard mixed opinions about the on-foot missions.. and it seems to be something that wasn't fixed..

Still excited for it though

Actually, who has given the game a bad/mediocre review aside from Destructoid?

GameInformer and destructoid were the only two I had seen when I made my post yesterday.

I'm not super sure where people are coming from with the "it hurts my hands" aspect of the controls. Just playing the regular 3DS controls hurts my hands, the machine is so small. I can't imagine using a stylus is going to be any worse.

I'm really hoping for a 3DS XL someday soon.

So just bested the game.

And it hurts my hands/doesn't allow me to play for prolong periods of time is my biggest criticism about the game.

Its weird because everyone lambastes the controls. But I think they do a great job for the game, the problem is there's really no GOOD way to hold the device to use them for any period of time. And it sounds strange, but the controls work.. finding an ideal way to use them all the time doesn't.
