Weekly Update #21: Activating Pit in Attack Mode!

Does the title confuse you? It should but on Saturday I went to a GameStop in San Jose for a Kid Icarus meet and greet. It was a ton of fun, and I got to meet some serious Kid Icarus AR card collectors. Some people brought rather hefty binders containing some really rare AR cards. You know, it amazes me how many there are and how Nintendo doesn’t even try to sell them. Sure, giving them away at special events and in special products are a great way to get people to attend/buy the things necessary to get them, but still, I bet they would make a killing considering that there must be over a couple hundred of them.

"Screw the rules, prepare to meet the light!"

I also got to show off some of my Kid Icarus moves. Blasting enemies away with my trust crusader blade in nearby mode. Of course, they were all tough opponents to and in the end, our teams tied 3 wins each and good times were had by all.

In other news, Sony has their All-Star Battle Royal game. I still don’t know what was going through the developer’s head to combine franchises together for their stages. It just seems so weird.

In a bit of personal news, my last quarter of school is half-way over and I’m incredibly busy. This game that I’ve decided to make for one of my classes is taking up a lot of time, but at the same time, looking really hopeful for being something awesome. I can’t wait to show it off to everyone else.
