Nintendo has given the original NES Kid Icarus a significant facelift for its re-release as a 3D Classics game on the 3DS eShop. And you’ll get it for free for pre-ordering Kid Icarus Uprising “at select retailers”. There’s no word on which retailers are participating, and the announcement for now caters only to the US.
According to Nintendo, you’ll get a download code delivered with the purchase of Uprising.
If that excites you, it’s worth knowing that this isn’t the only way US gamers can get the NES remake for free. Nintendo is offering the 3D Classics title to gamers who have purchased and registered two 3DS titles from the list on the Club Nintendo site by January 31.
- Resident Evil: Revelations
- Mario Kart 7
- Super Pokémon Rumble
- Super Mario 3D Land
- Tetris
- Star Fox 64 3D
- Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D
- The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D
- Dead Or Alive Dimensions
