A book of short chapters explaining why you should play a 10 years old 3DS game. written by Some guy called Fox.
None of the images or videos used are mine and will be credited, if i forget to credit someone do not hesitate to point it out. "Kid ica...
So, after reading all of this and maybe after beating the game, you certainly wonder What's next ? Welp... actually, we don't know.
Us the fans, we certainly do want a port or a sequel, but it's been 10 years since the game was out, so is it still possible ? After all, Sakurai did say it would be very difficult to do a port or sequel even after the franchise was heavily requested on the switch, BUT baten kaitos out of any games came back recently for the love of god.

"2012 'Kid Icarus: Uprising' released today !! We have received many requests for sequels and remakes, but it will be difficult ... The new design of the pit is a spin-off of the one made with 'Smash Bros. X'."
He even trolled us in the video named "The Fiend's cauldron" that talked about one of the mechanics i mentioned in the gameplay chapter.

He also made a "game concept" where it goes more in details about the development of the game and other stuff. thats why i didn't talk much about it in the "Debuts" chapter. And the end is.. pretty hard to look at

"The portage and the rest will ultimately be difficult...
By today's gaming standards, redoing even a single model would be too expensive to cover the volume of this work.Sometimes I think of writing a sequel to the script without a specific goal, but I can't imagine what the image of the product looks like...Get it on your 3DS while you can!"
At first, it seemed like Some teasing or a call for a team, and luigi's mansion 2 did get a port announced as well ! but after that tweet it just looks like he's just as much powerless than we are.
I remember that at the time before ultimate, peoples were speculating about it, like how in smash 4 it's mentioned that 2 characters of the base game did a truce, it felt like it was going to be used, only to lead out to nothing, maybe something that come from the possible sequel he imagined for fun.
A port could also correct the only big default of the game ! But would also bring up some problems that are needed to be solved to make the game enjoyable and true to how it was originally made, And like Sakurai said, it would cost a ton. But for an uncertain result I doubt Nintendo will take the risk. So we don't know. Let's just hope, Because operation rainfall did work for the J-rpg fans, maybe if scream hard enough we'll be heard.
If you wish to know more of Sakurai works in general, he has a Youtube channel, so giving it a look, could be interesting. And it makes your knowledge about games even better, so it's cool !
