How to Snag Kid Icarus Uprising AR Cards
Kid Icarus Uprising will use cards, called idol cards, in unique ways. Scanning these cards allows the character on the card to come to life and fight with other cards as well as present information about each card. In order to pick them up you’ll be going about it numerous ways. Below is everything that’s been confirmed so far.
