Kid Icarus Uprising Launching with Tournament

Release Date: March 23, 2012

In celebration of the fast-approaching launch of Kid Icarus Uprising for the 3DS, Nintendo of America is hosting a series of multiplayer tournaments beginning March 8. These will culminate in a national championship event in New York on March 22.

Which Pit will prevail?

The bracket-style tournaments will include regional competition at select GameStop locations in the following cities:

-San Francisco, CA (March 8)
-Orlando, FL (March 11)
-Los Angeles, CA (March 15)
-New York, NY (March 22)

Three winners from each market will participate in the final national championship event at the GameStop store at Broadway and 84th Street in New York. There consumers will also have the opportunity to take part in a special pre-sale event, allowing them to purchase Kid Icarus Uprising one day before it goes on sale in North America.

Winners from each of the four markets will also be eligible to win prizes including an all-expenses-paid trip to New York to participate in the national championship and a variety of exclusive Kid Icarus-themed items.

Kid Icarus Uprising hits store shelves on March 23. Keep it here on IGN for all the latest.
