Review 3D Classics: Kid Icarus (3DSWare)
Pit of class
Kid Icarus was always a bit of a weird game. Originally released alongside Metroid and using an almost identical game engine, it was quickly overshadowed by the popularity of Metroid's giant game world full of areas to explore and, save for a (more entertaining) Game Boy sequel, the series was never heard from again until Pit suddenly...

Video Remembering The 3D Classics NES Range On Nintendo 3DS
The "definitive way" to play these retro releases

The Kid Icarus series is something of an oddity in Nintendo's long history; it hasn't received very many entries, yet continues to endure via references in other Nintendo games and media.

About The Game
From the creators of Metroid comes Kid Icarus: an action-platformer starring angelic warrior Pit, whose quest is to rescue the goddess Palutena and save Angel Land from the evil Medusa.
Armed with his trusty bow and arrow, Pit must battle from the underworld to the sky, to seek out the Three Sacred Treasures - only then will Pit have the power to take on Medusa.
Look out for Pit's return in Kid Icarus: Uprising for Nintendo 3DS!

I knew it!
Makes sense, too bad it's apparently the last 3D-Classic unless they decide to make more.
@4 Seriously, stop using that video - it's getting really annoying.
Looks like Nintendo's finally moving on to more complex games for 3D Classics.
I was hoping this would have been included in the NES portion of the Ambassador Program, but this is definitely an acceptable alternative, and makes a ton of sense to try and play up KI: Uprising.
awesome, Kid Icarus is being reborn!!!!!!
OH YA! i was a fan of kid icarus since super smash bros. brawl! this is awsome! i have kid icarus on my NES and my wii and im definatly gonna get it for the 3ds
Finally! Nintendo Is Being Smart With There 3D Classic.
Correct me if I'm worng, but I heard this 3D Classic would be free. Is this true????
@9 only if you register two 3ds games by the 31st of december on club nintendo of Europe
(that means only people in europe will get it for free)
パルテナの鏡 <----- that is the japanese title for the original Kid Icarus.
Translates "The Mirror of Parthenon"
interesting how the change of just the name makes a game more child like or serious...
@Mariokart7fan: It's actually by january 31st because Resident Evil Revelations is included and the release date is 27th.
So when is this coming to America? I want, I want! I also want Of Myths and Monsters for the 3DS VC!
@DStroke how ? it it released on 5th of january in Europe it can't be 31st of january.
I'm sick of games not being full screen
Myths and monsters....
looks ok but it would be nice if they release a 3d classics zelda 1 or 2 next! total buy if i got the money.
this game is included if u preorder kid icarus uprising!
ah yes there was a second game on game boy if im not mistaken
WTF... I saw this, was going to go buy it right now... Then saw Europe only. Nintendo does not want my money, end of story.
Kid Icarus Uprising was going to be a bargain bin game for me... honestly it looks boring... but now I may need to preorder at Amazon just to get this 3d classing... brilliant marketing, I suppose.
why is USA always last to know when the release date will be... arg...
@TikiTong If you pre-order KI: Uprising at certain places you can get it for free in the US.
@mushroomer: It's even worse. We're never told the release date. It's just speculation until it actually comes out.
So it's only available through GameStop? Interesting!
this looks stupid (no offense)
