Kid Icarus Doesn’t Stand The Test Of Time

"Rosy-red tinted glasses won’t even save Nintendo’s Kid Icarus from suffering the effects of Grandfather Time. If Kid Icarus was an aged cheese, it would stink worse than both Limburger and Petite Muenster combined."

There are many games that aren't good in hindsight

barefootgamer5100d ago

A lot of games, like TV shows, just don't age well unfortunately.

GameZone's writers aren't very good. The grammar is bad and they often use words they don't mean. The first paragraph's heading, "What were its cultural impact and/or importance?" is a pretty good indicator of the quality of the whole. I would hope that the author isn't any older than 14.

They are correct, though, that Kid Icarus isn't very good. It is a game that not only wants you to lose, but also doesn't want you to have any fun at all.

Pit is a cool character but I don't understand why some people want a new Kid Icarus so badly. The game wasn't all that popular on the nes and on the other systems there was never an outcry for a new addition to the series. I think this all stems from IGN starting the rumors a few years back and younger gamers wanting to feel like their a part of something, even if that something was never there.

I don't particularily see the point in Nintendo making a new one either because it would be hard to make it unique, it'd either be a Metroid clone, Zelda clone or family friendly God of War.

In the first two cases it makes more sense to make Metroid and Zelda instead and the third case seems a tad lame.

After being benched for 20 years, and returning only to be forsaken again despite being a splendid game, it's time Kid Icarus gets salvation.

6 Classic Games That Deserve Remakes

BY FRANKLIN: When putting together a list of the best remakes and remasters for modern consoles, I started thinking about many of the classic games that also deserve remakes. Some more popular games been re-released on digital platforms or ported with no updates to the original game, but a direct port is not as satiating as a remake. These games deserve to be remade from the ground up, or at the very least have a graphical refresh.

These are 6 classic game remakes that we want to see in 2023.

sone of the games definitely deserve a remake. you dont have to buy them if you prefer the original tho.

amazinglover368d ago

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic already has a remake coming, though it has had a rough development moving from Aspyr Media to a Saber Interactive studio it is still set to come to PS5 and PC.

FinalFantasyFanatic368d ago

I will gladly take remasters and ports of older games, would love a remake of Link to the Past in the same style as Link's Awakening, I'd also love a remake of Super Mario RPG.
