ThePonchoNinja: Great to hear that! Well if you've seen the Video Game Vault on Kid Icarus, basically it was a 2D platformer with subtle influences of other video game genres. When I heard there was going to be a game on the 3DS, I was interested because there were some really cool things you could do with what we had on the NES. Maybe something like Mario Galaxy but you collected items and power-ups like in Zelda and Metroid; it doesn't have to be exactly what I envisioned but something along that line. In essence, there was a lot of creative potential to a new 3D Kid Icarus game. Instead we essentially got a Sin and Punishment game with Pit's face slapped on it. The gameplay has very little in common with the NES classic. The dialogue got a little too corny for my tastes as well. That nature girl (can't remember her name) was really annoying too. I could go a little more in depth and I hope that answers your question. Man, I really should write a review and blog on this game. Once again, the game itself is not bad; its fun killing things and the online ironically is possibly the best thing about it. Its just that there was so much potential to a 3D Kid Icarus game but not too much came of it. Didn't Nintendo say they weren't making another KId Icarus game in another 25 years or something? Anyway, I need to write a review on this. Thanks for asking and just to let you know, I'm not a retro extremist or anything like that.
