Kid Icarus: Uprising Battle Squad Hits HMV Reading Oracle this Weekend

I told you about this last week (here) but if you're looking at the grey sky, scratching your head and wondering how to keep the kids entertained over the long weekend, it could be just what you need ! See below for more details :

***********************************************************



Following the success of the first Kid Icarus: Uprising multiplayer event in London last Saturday, the Kid Icarus: Uprising Battle Squad returns this Saturday 5th May to HMV Reading Oracle, 12.00-16.00, giving fans the chance to battle it out against the experts. 
 
Fans can take along their own Nintendo 3DS console or borrow one from the Squad, and should bring plenty of competitive spirit ready to choose their favourite weapon and get battling.  The Squad is made up of different skill levels to allow for fair competition and includes a pro gamer to challenge even the most experienced Kid Icarus: Uprising players. 
 
With £10 eShop vouchers up for grabs for anyone who successfully defeats the Battle Squad’s pro gamer, the challenge has officially been set!
 
Those who love to get in costume are also in for a treat with brand new exclusive prizes for fans who greet the Kid Icarus: Uprising Battle Squad dressed as Pit, Palutena, Medusa or any of the other characters in the game. Everyone who arrives in Kid Icarus: Uprising Cosplay will be entered into a special prize draw for a chance to win their very own Nintendo 3DS.


Everyone who takes part will earn a limited edition Kid Icarus: Uprising poster.  If a player defeats the Squad and wins a battle, they will be able to take home an exclusive set of AR Cards to boost their collection.  The Kid Icarus: Uprising AR Cards are highly sought after and only available at special Nintendo events – so get practising!
 
Nintendo is also launching a free prize draw via Twitter: all fans need to do is have their photo taken with the Squad in HMV and tweet it on the same day to @KidIcarusUK using the hashtag #KidIcarusBattleSquad to be in with a chance of winning* one of six £50 HMV vouchers.  All Nintendo 3DS owners are encouraged to head down to the events and take their console to StreetPassTM with other fans.
 
A selection of all photos from the events will be uploaded onto the Nintendo 3DS Facebook page and for all the latest news about Kid Icarus: Uprising and the Battle Squad follow @KidIcarusUK.
