    Now that I hear your voice while thinking of Uprising, it's kind've in the same range as Pit's.

    OMG I was just thinking about this game yesterday and how weird it is that such a popular game never had any sequels! I didn't realize Nintendo is finally coming out with a new one. I used to LOVE this game as a kid, although I can't figure out why because I don't remember being able to get very far AT ALL. Half of those stages you showed in the video I've never even seen before! I loved the sound effects though and still do! Gets in my head for some reason. CLASSIC!

      The game was developped by Nintendo R&D1 team (Yokoi, Okada...). Yet a few months after its release, the team worked fully on the development of the Game Boy hardware. Miyamoto's team (R&D4) will focus on softwares to later become Nintendo EAD.

    the thing I remember the most of kid icarus is the credit card, hell, at age 5 I had my first finances lesson through that game, learning how unforgiving debt can be.
    Love the game and I'm waiting for the 3ds to arrive in order to play with pit again.

  • @RawHunterX

    Seeing how Kid Icarus stood toe to toe with the big men back in the day, it's so sad that we didn't get the same for the next generations, come to think of it, even Metroid went on sideline during the N64.

  • @xxdarklink93xx
    @xxdarklink93xx 14 років тому

    @Lugmillord yup it's perfectly logical, it scrolls side to side, sides can be vertical. it has been called like that by when the genre started what would you now argue about that?

  • @cyberis2
    @cyberis2 12 років тому +1

    why does this guy always sound pissed

  • @RealRaynedance
    @RealRaynedance 14 років тому

    @Lugmillord (I don't know if you got replies or not) No that actually makes sense. It's a side scrolling game where you go upwards. (Metroid lets you go up AND down and it's a side scrolling game. :P) Vertical scrolling would be something like Xevious or something.

  • @shadowlinkxx12

    Most of my knowledge of Kid Icarus is from that Captain N cartoon, which doesn't say much considering how different the cartoon version of Simon Belmont is from his character in the Castlevania game. I decided to buy Kid Icarus on the Wii Virtual Console because it's one of the few retro NES games I hadn't played. Now that I've played it, it's OK, I guess. I would have preferred if they had added a save option like they did in the Game Boy Advance ports of NES games. Having to type passwords is not fun. Still, it's only $5 on the Virtual Console, which is no big loss.

    "mostly upwards scrolling"
    Ah, yes. That one pixel difference that turns solid ground to lethal fall. Oh, how often I cursed that angel out for jumping to push the screen up, only to fall upon WHAT SHOULD have been harmless...just unseen.

  • @Frothenbath1
    @Frothenbath1 13 років тому

    I loved this game as a kid, but along with games like Ninja Gaiden, I learned the idea of "rage-quit" at a very young age. Ah, to experience such strong love/hate so early :P.

    For anyone interested, i think it will be available until April 7th on Club Nintendo :)

  • @RossStern
    @RossStern 12 років тому

    i dont see what they could do with ice climbers. It was meant to be an arcade style game. Maybe if they made the game 2.5d and made the jumping mechanics better it could sell on the eshop.

    I was never told the reason why Nintendo got rid of the original passwords when they ported it onto the Virtual Console.

  • @OMG_BeCkY
    @OMG_BeCkY 14 років тому

    I used to get in fights with my friends when I was little about how the title of this game was pronounced. I was INSISTENT that it was pronounced "kid iCARus" and I'd get super pissed when anyone would tell me I was saying it wrong. I still to this day call it kid iCARus. DOH!

  • @futuramayeah
    @futuramayeah 4 роки тому +1

    how did this come out right when the NES did? it's an impossible game maybe that's how . they never tested it. it would have been ok if Pit could fly but he just can barely hover or not at all in the beginning. the mazes are impossibe the Death and mini Death reapers are a pain. the Eggplant Wizard is unavoidable.

    @EnglishTurtle 14 років тому

    I think the only reason Kid Icarus games is wanted so much is because its made by Nintendo's top development team. If this game was made by 3rd Party devs, then it definetly wouldn't have gotten as much demand to be honest.

  • @TheBadBuffalo
    @TheBadBuffalo 12 років тому

    Heck yes. If Pit came back from the old days, then Nintendo should bring back a lot of other awesome yet lost franchises. Imagine Balloon Fight, Duck Hunt, Geist, Ice Climbers (especially since we saw them in SSB), Eternal Darkness, StarTropics, or Earthbound (HECK YEAH!) being brought back in a 3D game of something. How awesome would that be?! If Kid Icarus can, then so can these other awesome ones. I don't usually say this but... thumbs up for the support!!!!!

    Dem eggplant wizards. Probably the worst mechanic in that game. I spent at least two hours on the last dungeon running around in circles after getting hit by them.
    The last level sucked too. At the very least I got Medusa in a spot where she was unable to hit me, and I could just sit there and spam my shots at her til she died. Hey, it's Zelda II all over again, but not nearly as difficult.
    Still a great game. I'm glad I stuck it through to the end.
