Join the Uprising Want to fight monsters for the greater good and fend off evil? Then you should check out this video game ad called Kid Icarus Uprising for the Nintendo 3DS. It has a black background with a big door in the middle of the darkness, opening to a heaven kind of place that is all light and shining with clouds and a big light shining on the top. In the middle of the door, Kid Icarus flying through the door with his bow held high, ascending toward the big shining light. On the top of the ad, it says the tittle and that it will be available 3/23. Under that it has big white text that asks you,” WHO WILL BRING THE LIGHT?” and right under that it asks you more questions like, “THE MONSTERS ARE COMING. WILL YOU JOIN THE UPRISING? OR WILL YOU FALL INTO DARKNESS?”. Then under that sentence it says, “SHOW YOUR STRENGTH AS YOU PLAY AS PIT TO BATTLE MEDUSA AND HER MONSTERS.” Finally on the bottom of the ad it shows screenshots from the game and above that it is telling you, “GET THE KID ICARUS: UPRISING GAME.
