The Production I.G. short will involve a fight between Pit and one of Medusa’s minions, Thanatos. Production I.G. are best known for Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex.

 

The Studio 4°C short features Medusa, the goddess of the Underworld, as the main character. This short tells the story of Medusa and Palutena’s rivalry, which covers a period from far into Pit’s past up to the present day.

 

Finally, the Shaft short features Palutena as the main character and “her attempts to deal with a great catastrophe in her Skyworld home”. This actually involves a cooking challenge that falls victim to some sort of calamity.

 

Kid Icarus: Uprising will be released on March 23rd in North America and Europe.
