Yeah, I have a feeling it's good to own a pair of nostalgia glasses while playing Kid Icarus -- or the original Metroid, The Legend of Zelda, etc.<br /><br />That said, I think it can at least be appreciated even if you didn't play it as a kid. Sure, it's a bit rough, and difficult and cheap, but it's also pretty interesting and unique, in my opinion. Also, the graphics, while obviously quite dated by now, are still really well drawn and colorful -- something most people can appreciate, I think.<br /><br />Granted, I love old, pixel-based games. If that's not your thing, you may not be able to enjoy Kid Icarus (or other games of the era) regardless of how unique, etc., they are.Bryan Ochallahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16256591698209804728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20740650.post-84420285266584907362011-12-08T08:55:23.822-08:002011-12-08T08:55:23.822-08:00The one game I always wanted to play as kid and ne...The one game I always wanted to play as kid and never did.

Unles...Yeah, the same is true for me, Motherplayer. Unless a game is truly, hair-pullingly difficult, I'll keep at it until I feel like I've at least gotten over some sort of hump. I refuse to be beaten by a game! :P <br /><br />In the case of Kid Icarus, specifically, I refused to give up while playing this version and the Wii VC version because I knew I had beaten it many times as a youngster.Bryan Ochallahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16256591698209804728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20740650.post-84040614146602057532011-12-06T11:31:21.945-08:002011-12-06T11:31:21.945-08:00Oh I know the feeling.

I played it -- for the first time in a very long time -- shortly after it was added to the Wii VC a few years ago, and for the first few days I honestly believed I'd never get past the first few stages. Once I finally made it past them, though, things improved greatly, and I quickly made my way through the rest of the game. Not easily, mind you, but quickly. Anyway, I don't know if that will be true for everyone, but I do think the game's first stages are more difficult than later ones.Bryan Ochallahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16256591698209804728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20740650.post-31179998103821095322011-12-06T11:14:13.423-08:002011-12-06T11:14:13.423-08:00For him, the heart level up system took some time ...For him, the heart level up system took some time to get used to, trying to use the mic trick to get a discount in one store backfired on him and most of all, the Grim Reapers were his biggest roadblock for most of the game but he managed to beat it. Oh and yes I have played it, just I'm gonna have to build up a lot more fortitude to ever try that again.Motherplayerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12904671208044717027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20740650.post-74277554049508175682011-12-06T11:08:01.533-08:002011-12-06T11:08:01.533-08:00Ha!

If not, I'd suggest giving it a try, at least. Just don't play it on a portable system. It may prompt you to smash your handheld under your heel :)Bryan Ochallahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16256591698209804728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20740650.post-60832283959159608252011-12-06T11:03:58.291-08:002011-12-06T11:03:58.291-08:00Thanks to Game Center CX, I've learned this is...Thanks to Game Center CX, I've learned this is but one of many painful experiences you could have on the NES. :PMotherplayerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12904671208044717027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20740650.post-36444607259748282612011-12-06T10:54:59.145-08:002011-12-06T10:54:59.145-08:00Really?
