Kid Icarus Uprising Release Date Confirmed

3DS owners got a bit of good news today as Nintendo revealed their plans for the first quarter of 2012. Although the next gen handheld device got off to a slow start with barely any games to call its own, the 3DS has started to pick up speed and shows no sign of slowing down.

With games such as Resident Evil: Revelations coming out on February 7th, and Kid Icarus Uprising hitting store shelves on March 23rd, there may be some validity to picking up one of these glasses-free portable 3D consoles, especially with its only competitor weighing in at nearly twice the price (once you figure in one of those memory cards).
