Satoru Iwata has said that Kid Icarus Uprising matches Smash Bros Brawl in terms of its richness and volume.
Some Nintendo fans who saw the Kid Icarus Uprising demo on Nintendo Direct commented that chaotic nature of the game's online battle mode was reminiscent of Smash Bros and it seems Iwata agrees.
Speaking during a conversation with Kid Icarus Uprising producer Masahiro Sakurai, Iwata said: "I was able to play the final version before this interview, and its richness, and an unparalleled sense of volume really came across, just like when I played Super Smash Bros. Melee and Super Smash Bros. Brawl for the first time.

Of course you'll be able to find out what Smash Bros looks like in 3D when Smash Bros 3DS is released. As revealed earlier this week, Sakurai has started work on Smash Bros 3DS and Wii U.

Even the menu screen foor Kid Icarus Uprising resembles Brawl! XD I too noticed the parallels in turms of the depth of this game when watching the presentation yesterday, and I was blown away by the demonstration of the battle mode. I can't wait to get my hands on it, even if it doesn't come with enthusiastic commentary.
I wonder why he says that. I mean… it only uses the assets from Smash Bros like wave explosions… same menu layout… same visual design… similar modes… same sound effects.
Oh wait.
The online mode definatly has a Smash Bros feel to it. The fast-paced combat looks like it's going to be a ton of fun!
That combat does look a ton of fun. I'm still kind of on the fence about the game though, need to read som reviews!
it certainatly looks as mentel as a smash game
As long as smash bros dosent become a 3d fighter then alls good
I can see what he means! It's just as crazy and looks just as fun!
This multiplayer looks fantastic!! it looks really deep
not gonna lie if this and the single player are as good as they look, this is going to be a spectacular game
