Kid Icarus on Virtual Console (in Japan)

Share your perspective. Keep it thoughtful, welcoming and on topic.

1. Nope, don't remember playing this…How do you know it is Kid Icarus, by the way? It looks very much like all the videos I've seen of 2D platformers from that era… Is it just the main character's sprite??

2. I love it. Yea it does take me back to playing with my little brother, and the first time he finished a nintendo game before me.

3. It looks kinda like it. Although all I remember is the grim reapers that, once you were on the same level as them, they would dash towards you. I sure hope they bring it to VC soon. And I would be ecstatic if they were to reinvent the series for Wii.

4. It absolutely shocks me that Nintendo has left this franchise untouched since the NES. Three console generations have come and gone, and we still haven't seen another game in the Kid Icarus series. True shame…this is one of Nintendo's finest characters and one of the better NES games. Could have been a terrific series had they allowed it to evolve like Zelda, Mario, and Metroid. Could and should be one of Nintendo's marquees.Hope they come to their senses and make another Kid Icarus game for Wii.

5. Honestly, I'm less interested in the Kid Icarus and more angry that this person has Bleach for Wii. Darn region encoding :p

6. I loved this game. It was built on the Metroid engine and they play somewhat similarly. I used to have the cart and I beat it several times. I don't know what happened to it though.

7. Nintendo really needs to implement some kind of channel container to hold VC games.
