Kid Icarus 3DS Scores Famitsu Perfection

Nintendo's cheerful angel Pit has risen up the ranks to join a small elite: a group of games who have scored that coveted perfect Famitsu score.

Kid Icarus: Uprising is the latest release to join the selection, helping Nintendo cement a long-running record of dominating the list.

Only a handful of games throughout the Japanese magazine's illustrious history have achieved a perfect 40/40 rating, a combined score from four reviewers. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, The Wind Waker, Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Pokémon Black and White are amongst the now 19 titles that have received such prestigious recognition.

Gagging for your slice of the 3DS adventure? Uprising is out on March 23rd in both Europe and North America.
