Kid Icarus returns in 3DS instalment

Nintendo has revealed that Masahiro Sakurai's long-forgotten "Project Sora" is a 3DS exclusive called Kid Icarus Uprising, which is "coming soon".

The game was shown following the unveiling of the 3DS at Nintendo's E3 conference.

In an accompanying video, Pit was shown flying around icy environments, castles, lava, giant bosses and all sorts, as the angelic voiceover intoned that he was only blessed to fly for five minutes before bedtime and brush your teeth.

Look out for more on this one as soon as we get our hands on assets.
