Nintendo teams up with HMV to offer Kid Icarus: Uprising multiplayer action

UPDATE - A series of Kid Icarus: Uprising multiplayer events taking place in HMV stores around the UK is giving fans the chance to battle it out against the expert Kid Icarus: Uprising Battle Squad.  The next event takes place from 12.00 - 16.00 this Saturday 5^th May at HMV in Reading Oracle.

Fans need to take along their Nintendo 3DS console, competitive spirit and choose their favourite weapon, ready to join the battle.  The Squad is made up of different skill levels to allow for fair competition and includes a pro gamer to challenge even the most experienced Kid Icarus: Uprising players.

Everyone who takes part will earn a limited edition Kid Icarus: Uprising poster.  If a player defeats the Squad and wins a battle, they will be able to take home a set of AR Cards to boost their collection.  The Kid Icarus: Uprising AR Cards are highly sought after – so get practising!

Those who love to get in costume are also in for a treat with brand new prizes for fans who greet the Kid Icarus: Uprising Battle Squad dressed as Pit, Palutena, Medusa or any of the other characters in the game. Everyone who arrives in Kid Icarus: Uprising cosplay will be entered into a prize draw to win Nintendo goodies.
