We didn't get chance to wrestle with Kid Icarus: Uprising at the 3DS event in London as the game's still being feverishly worked on behind the scenes, and a recent interview with GamesMaster Magazine reveals the game's online modes are still taking shape.
Masahiro Sakurai: The online capabilities are currently being tested. There could be some versus play but we can't go into the detail. As far as going forward, there are lot of capabilities that expand on what was in the DS that people are taking advantage of.
A typically cryptic answer from a seasoned Nintendo developer, particularly the tease that the machine's expanded capabilities will feature more heavily going forward, but we'd expect nothing less from the new console.

Nice.
Online multiplayer is always a good thing to have especially in a game that looks a lot like Star Fox.
Cant wait.
Pit looks too happy to be fighting all those baddies
Looks like a good game. The only time I ever saw pit in a game was in SSBB though.
Can't wait
I hope it doesn't lag like Sakurai's other Wi-Fi-enabled game, Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Either way, multiplayer Kid Icarus sounds like a blast!
How can you make a "Kid Icarus game" in to a multiplayer game?
Pit vs. Pit battles would be the most epic thing since Little Mac vs. Little Mac! Please, Sakurai, make it so!
This game will be sweeeet!! Sakurai is awesome!
Hope its not like the Wi-Fi in Mario and Sonic or NiGHTS -
Guess this isn't going to be done for the rumored October launch.
Sounds good. Hope it's a good proving ground for the 3DS's online fea... tures...
Wait a minute...
...Proving ground... proving grounds... Duke Nukem Proving Grounds... you... don't think it's being held off for the 3DS, do you? Perhaps as a 3DS swan song 8 years later? 0.o;;;
shiver
@Adam: Sakurai said as much, he said he wants it close to launch but it most likely won't be at launch.
Which seems weird considering it's the flagship title.
This game is going to be AWESOME.
Ah, i'm trying not to be impatient...
(count to 5 slowly, exhale. now start over again)
oh, this one doesn't seem too exciting to me....
Mr. Manskirts
This is actually an old quote. You guys don't recognize this NL?
@Daisaku36
