I cannot stress enough how much I love this game.

Kid Icarus: Uprising is the greatest handheld game of all time, one of the greatest games ever made and Masahiro Sakurai's masterpiece

I could never really click with the controls. I wanted to love it but it was a bit of a slog for me.
It's a really great game but I could never completely overcome the controls in a comfortable fashion; and I despise the resolution of the 3DS screen.
A 1080p/60 re-release with adjusted controls could definitely be a Top Ten of All Time though. But as it is, on the hardware it was released on, it was "pretty good

This is great! You put way more effort into your thread than I did.
A well-made game completely murdered by awful controls unfortunately. Would love to see it getting another try on Switch.
Greatest handheld game of all time is pretty meaningless with the Switch and Steamdeck in existence.

The Switch is a hybrid and Steamdeck isn't out yet but other than that you're spot on.
I wanted to really really like it but gave up on it due to terrible controls, awkward camera in the ground and overall terrible resolution and ground textures.
This is one of those games that came out on the absolutely wrong platform. Fuck the 3ds
Hope Nintendo/ sakurai gives this series another try though cause story and characters were great

I don't think the second option suits me very well, but I really liked the game. No masterpiece or anything (control scheme was less than ideal), but quite fun nonetheless.
I'll forever be mad that I can't play this game as a lefty without buying a separate attachment. 😡
The controls are absolute garbage. The flying levels are good. The ground missions are utter shit. Not a good game overall. Presentation is one of the best on the system though.
Wonderful presentation, great writing, good on-rails sections, but ultimately the ground sections make what should be one of my favourite games on the system something that I find just OK and couldn't even bring myself to finish. The controls are the biggest problem, but there are also some Sakurai-isms in the game design that I'm not the biggest fan of, but still keep showing up in his games.

I'm right handed and my hands ached like hell after any playing session.

The controls kind of disqualify it as a portable game because you need a stand to play it on to make it semi-acceptable.
To add salt to the wound, the 3ds actually has an accessory that solves this games problem by adding an additional analog stick and Uprising ADVERTISES this accessory on its box but they just use it to flip the controls!
I felt borderline scammed.

There a very few good qualities to Kid Icarus and so I'm struggling to understand if this is a serious thread.

Definitely one of the best 3DS games at least. Never got the whining about the controls either (outside of the awkwardness if you're a lefty), took me 10 minutes to get used to then I was set. I think I managed to finish most or all of the stages on the highest difficulty eventually.
I also put at least 50 hours into the multiplayer. That was really well-done too and super fun to get good at.

Platform sections are bad and worsened by Pit trotting instead of walking, but the fly sequences are basically the best Space Harrier game ever made.
Good game with tons of replay value, and the production values are excellent for 3DS.
I put in lots of hours, but I don't think about it much these days. The control scheme is really bad for the wrists, and that stops it from being a classic.
