A huge improvement over the original and far less punishing, but lacking the visual flair and identity of the original. It's unfortunate that the once-announced SNES follow-up never materialized as the two initial KI games have so many good ideas, and a successor could've perfected the formula and made KI to be more of a household game (a la Super Metroid perfecting the formula of its first two uneven games).
Uprising is good, but I wish Nintendo would do a new game that is a little more faithful to the originals.
Agreed on every count. I would give up my firstborn for a SNES followup like Metroid got with Super. Uprising's one of my favorite games of all time, but I can't really pretend it has anything to do with the first two games from a gameplay standpoint, and at least one more iteration on this formula really could have made this series something special.
