Nintendo wants to be my Valentine this week. He’s not Cupid, but Pit will have to suffice: Kid Icarus is out for the Virtual Console! As if that wasn’t enough, we get Ice Climber and Kirby’s Adventure, too! [Each title costs 500 points.]
Kirby’s Adventureâ„¢ (NES): Not everything is well in Dream Land. For some mysterious reason, the Dream Spring, a magical well that is the reservoir for all the dreams of the citizens of Dream Land, is no longer working. Everyone is being subjected to their worst nightmares every time they go to sleep. Upon reaching the Dream Spring, Kirby finds out that evil King Dedede has stolen the Star Rod, thus depriving Dream Land of the magical energy that feeds its spring.
Ice Climberâ„¢ (NES): As Popo, players use a trusty mallet to work their way up the mountain. They chip away at the blocks overhead, then jump up through the resulting hole to the mountain’s next level.
Kid Icarusâ„¢ (NES): In a time when men and gods lived in harmony, the kingdom of Angel Land was ruled by two goddesses: Palutena, the Goddess of Light, and Medusa, the Goddess of Darkness. Unlike Palutena, Medusa despised all humans and enjoyed destroying their crops and turning them into stone. One day, Palutena decided to punish the evil Medusa and banished her after turning her into a hideous monster. But Medusa would not go without a fight. She created an army of monsters and evil spirits and captured Palutena. Players play as Pit, a young angel trapped in the Underworld, and Palutena’s only hope.
I’m definitely getting Kirby. Which game are you buying yourself for Valentine’s Day?
Looks like I'll be getting some Wii points online so I can buy these when I get home.
Oh my god, I love Kid Icarus! This makes me so happy!Looks like I have a game to purchase when I get home this afternoon!Wow, this is a great virtual console day. I like all 3 of these choices.
Maybe Kirby if it costs 600 points… does anyone know how much each of these titles cost? I guess I'll find out when I get home.
500 points each. I'll update the article.
Oh yes. Kid Icarus. I just purchased it and started it up.What's with it not accepting secret passwords? I stared at that little notice when I was buying the game, and I just can't figure out why they did this. I used to love my ICARUS FIGHTS MEDUSA ANGELS code. Now I can't use it. What gives? I'm assuming that normal passwords still work, but I haven't tried any yet.Oh well. I guess I shouldn't be picky about the password thing. I'm just happy that my all-time favorite NES game is here!
I bought Kirby last night. Man, that is a fun game. I never played a whole Kirby game and I sure missed out!
Y'know, this really pisses me off. Last week people were talking about how MK64 doesn't have ghost data because Nintendo didn't want to take the time to emulate the memory card from the N64.Here we have documented proof that Nintendo modified the ROM for a game, and for what? To **subtract** a feature? Completely dumbfounding.
