Nintendo has announced that 3D Classics: Kid Icarus is on the way to 3DS.
More than twenty years ago, Kid Icarus was released for the NES and went unnoticed by many, overshadowed by the much more popular Metroid series. In 2012, after Pit’s growing popularity in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Nintendo revived the Kid Icarus franchise by creating Uprising on the 3DS. Alongside the release, the NES original was added to the eshop as a “3D Classic”, a treatment that gave NES games more depth — literally.

i'm all about nostalgi, and kid icarus is cool, but looking back to playing it on my NES, Kid Icarus was a brutal, brutal game and not all that great. If it's free, well then, OK, I can't complain, but looking back...that game kinda sucked.
