Nintendo embarks on fresh Kid Icarus retail press

Kid Icarus: Uprising is to come under the spotlight once again as Nintendo kicks off a fresh round of retail promotions for the title.

Any consumers who buy the game from Argos between April 24th and May 31st will receive a free pack of 24 AR Cards for the game.

In addition, HMV has announced a series of Kid Icarus multiplayer events at stores across the country, the first of which takes place at HMV’s Oxford Circus branch this Saturday (April 28th) between 12:00-16:00.

Attendees will need to bring their 3DS and have the chance of winning a limited edition Kid Icarus poster.

And make sure you take a photo of yourself while you’re there, as doing so will allow you to enter a free prize draw on Twitter. Simply send the tweet on the day to @KidIcarusUK using the hashtag #KidIcarusBattleSquad to be in with a chance of winning one of six 50 HMV vouchers.

The Kid Icarus: Uprising Battle Squad dates and locations are as follows:

HMV Oxford Circus – Saturday 28th April
