  • Is it sad that I spent like 30 minutes in this game and only just managed to beat the first stage?

  • i too, like knowing that there are metroids in this game.

  • Lol i find funny how in '08 everyone was set that factor 5 was making the new Icarus game on the wii. funny how things change, isn't it? any way can't wait fir uprising!

  • It's now a 3d classic on the 3ds in europe,It was a free download if you registered 2 games of a certain list , I think it will come to the US pretty soon

  • Kid Icarus: Uprising is coming soon!

  • 6:39 Pit isn't human he is an angel =P

  • I'm proud to say that as a kid, I had the Game Boy Kid Icarus game. It was a lot less difficult compared to the NES version, but still pretty challenging, and it was an awesome feeling beating the game in the end.

  • 4:50 The blue platform graphics remind me a lot of the first stage graphics from the original Mario Bros. arcade game. :)

  • Isn't it fun when you find another great channel? :)

  • i still have this game on my nes and i still love it.i l0ve your reviews

  • thanks for the intro.....this was one of my favs back in the 80s!

  • check out the video responses for the speed run for this classic game =]

  • A new kid icarus game now on the 3ds!

  • one of the best games ever made . . .

  • Kid Icarus meets Pulp Fiction goes like this:

    "My name's Pit ,and your ass ain't playing itself out of this shit!"

  • GET,~.A`~;FREE~..NINTENDO`~'3D­S'`;

    JUST';,COPY`,~THE..~URL~..

  • The first boss of this game is one of the glitchiest bosses I've ever seen.

  • Cool adding the artwork from the original game manual. I remember being hooked on this game and taking the booklet with me to school to draw the monsters in my notebook instead of paying attention in class. lol go nostalgia

  • @ResidentEvilSpore Good work, keep going :) Sorry for negative comment...

  • @ResidentEvilSpore ..........................lol , that's because you come post on YT instead of retrying. L2P

  • i don't know if some others have said this, but there is also a variation in greek mythology of a inventor called daedalus who was locked up with his son icarus. daedalus, being an inventor, was sneaky and made wings and attached them to his and his son's backs with a glue. he told his son not to stray too far up or the glue would melt. disregarding the advice when they jumped out the window, icarus flew high into the sky, glue melted, and fell to his death. I hope this was helpful. :D

  • You forgot the enemys that steal your items in the bad expact

  • captain n is probably the reason pitt has only had two games. I mean think about simon belmont was also in the show but he has never been in any new castlevania games. And why mega man is still being made they have made some bad mega man games like the battle network series megaman 7 and megaman 64

  • @cool5143

    Captain N was awesome. Simon Belmont appeared in a few games after Captain N. Super Castlevania 4, the best game in the series released after Captain N was off the air. Then you had the ok port Chronicles for PSX in the late 90s. Mega Man turned into the X series in 93. Both Metroid and Kid didn't have any new games until well after the 90s. Sometimes that's just how it happens. Also kid is getting uprising for the 3DS this year.

  • @kNIGHTWING01 i dont really like Captain N but I was trying to make a point that the characters have had amazing games but have most recently not been in games or their games sucked like the megaman battle network series

  • @cool5143

    Mega Man 7 was bad? What the deuce?

  • @cool5143 I love battle network. It was a great series.

  • @cool5143 It's not like there haven't been any bad Castlevania games *cough* SIMONS QUEST *cough cough* And also, new Castlevania games are being made for the xbox 360 and ps3, even if they might not be as good as the old ones. Mega Man games are not made too often. It seems that every once in a while there might be a new Mega Man game for the DS, but it seems that every once in a while there are new Castlevania games as well.

  • kid icarus, proof that you dont have to make a good game to get an enormous fanbase

  • @emojo1990

    How are things up high on that pedestal?

  • cant wait for UPRISING ^_^

  • SCREW YOU EGGPLANT WIZARDS!!!!! other than that this game is great. that is all.

  • I had the original cart. Love it. I am always surprise that the only sequal was the GB game. Maybe the character design is not all that unique. And the gameplay is similar to Metroid. So maybe Nintendo wanted a more distintive game.

    YEP those Eggplant Wizards was really annoying.

  • Kid Icarus uprising is the new game

  • it's difficult to determine what you can stand on and what you can't

  • and now we have uprising horray

  • @Mr1337drummer

    Lol, are you serious? I hope your kidding every teenager-adult should know how to pronounce Icarus, at school they usually tell the kids the story of Icarus from elementary school all the way through high school and even college if you take the right classes. But yes its really pronounced ihk-Uh-ris.

  • @yazid3848 man, my mind is blown.

  • whoa whoa i always pronounced it kid EYE CARE US... is it really ick ah russ???

  • Classic! Can't wait for the 3DS version!

  • never got to the end of the lost woods :P

  • It must be nice to have a girl to love, you bastard :S

  • sad part is I suck at this game.

    I got this for the virtual console and well . . . I only got to like the 3rd screen in the beginning . . . yeah I suck at this game

  • all this time i thought it was a simple game.

  • Graphics were very good for its time, game always kicked my butt though...

  • It's 8bit and great. :D

  • its true, it's coming out on the 3ds!!!

  • Why did the video just froze at 7:04?! I wanna hear the rest of it!!!

  • Darn it. This review almost had me convinced that I should pick up the game from the Virtual Console, but then I heard about the broken password system. For shame Nintendo...

  • i LOVE kid icarus. i understand why people think this is/was a hard game, i could never get past level 1-3 when i was 10. However, as an adult playing on the VC, i realized that once you learn HOW to play, it's actually pretty easy. the trick is kill everything you can in each level, ESP 1-1 & 1-2. Racking up points will help you power up quickly b/w levels. If you can learn how to make it through levels 1-1 to 1-3 without dying, you'll eventually be able to beat the game with no deaths.

  • Yep, I'd stay there and keep killing enemies until they stopped respawning. Getting those extra life bars early on is crucial. And when I stumbled upon the reaper positions in those rooms in an issue of Nintendo Power it helped immensely.

  • ha its on the 3ds

  • I"m gladd i play the NES version!

  • @Kwing What do you mean? You mean the passwords used to continue won't work?

  • 2:09 goombas?

  • good review of a mad game. I think it's also awesome your wife gets in on the fun of gaming where my girlfriend and sister will never understand :(

    Good Job Knight

  • ok today you will be listening to a guy who only has one sntance for the whole review and sounds like he is reading the whole thing off piece of paper.

  • the game suck

  • Pit is returning after 19 long years since the release of Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters for the GameBoy. The rumours that Factor 5 working on a new Kid Icarus title have been debunked. This time, Medusa looks more like a Gorgon than the eyeball she was in the NES title.

  • and now there has been announced a new Kid icarus game for the Wii!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @lifeisgood9947 its on 3DS

  • @lifeisgood9947 its gonna be only for the new 3DS not the wii but still i cant wait for it!!!!!!! :D

  • @8supernits wait so games for the 3DS wont be playable on the normal DS??

  • @lifeisgood9947 nope its gonna sorta be like how the normal gameboys became gameboy advances they dont play the exact same games

  • @8supernits wow thats cool so this going to be a completely diffrent portable system then. thanks alot for the info. by the way, Where did you get it? I would like to learn more.

  • @lifeisgood9947 Acually to be honest, I don't have it it's just I have been doing my studying on the 3DS to show how excited I am for it to come out I think it maybe backwards campatible though and since you want to learn so much about it then heres a couple of cool things about it. It looks alot like how DS systems look now but it now has a joystick like button on it and a really cool thing about it is that there is a contrrast thing that lets you make it as 3-D as you want (or 2-D)! :D

  • @8supernits you know, I heard from a video "More with James at E3" that the 3D looks pretty cool but that its not worth all the hype. If you want to watch the video, the dude's channel name is "James NIntendo Nerd". The video is actually on Screw Attack.com. Go to the video "More with James at E3 and there will be a link to the video in the description.

  • Cannot wait for Kid Icarus Uprising

  • and now,Pit returns on the 3DS...

  • @mysonicuniverse And they annouced new Kid Icarus on E3... 2 years after rumors.

  • Kid Icarus Uprising for the 3DS

  • The new Kid Icarus has been confirmed this morning :D

  • I still have my code book for this game :) Will the codes work on the download?

  • @HungryDawn78 no NES codes will work on virtual console, but there are a whole new set of codes for virtual console you can find online.

  • I liek how nintendo is making a new kid icarus game

  • Pit is my best player in Brawl.

  • You said the the soldiers help you. It really is a waste of time because the soldiers might get off one shot, but they will be killed out withing the first ten seconds of a boss battle. They are worthless!

  • Yay, bringin' back old games. Think about it. We still have Mario, Zelda, Donkey Kong, etc. But look at Playstation. They've had Crash Bandicoot, Jak and Daxter, and God of War. They've went through so many mascots while Nintendo has the same.

  • This was one of my favorites, comming after that beautiful golden cartradge known as ZELDA!

  • wtf youtube is being gay again.

    anyway nice to know the video author in this case is not a stereotype

  • Yay for the video author not being a stereotype! 8:21

    This will stand as evidence against those damn jocks

  • @EricTheHax What do you mean sterotype?

  • @TheLegendaryJames the whole "gamers don't have gf's!" and "gamers dont get laid!" shit. jocks always using that to validate their existence. I'm tired of the damn stereotype.

  • Pretty much my favorite game from the old days. I used to play through the entire game in one sitting. I think I may have even gone through it twice one time without taking a break.

  • 6:03 lol Epic!

  • I loved this game when I was a kid. Nothing will ever touch the original NES games.

  • does Pit get a lot of pussy?

  • @bitcheznhos Yes,yes he doesXD

  • man i was always waiting for a sequal for Snes or even NES 1 game was never enough

  • Kid Icarus alrady had a sequal it's called Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters it's for gameboy.

  • "Hi! My name's Pit. And your ass ain't talking your way out of this $!@#"

  • I loved this game as a kid, and was frustrated to no end by the Eggplant Wizards. I vividly remember playing Kid Icarus on certain days before going to school.

  • this is my FAVORITE game ever and you just happened to release the review on my birth day very cool

  • I don't hear your voice very well...

  • Kid Icarus is a classic, one of the games that made NES the legendary console that it was.

  • Never played this, but I had a Nintendo calendar with this character on it. Looks harder than I thought.

  • just a little bid older than i am

  • 8uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu­uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

  • Oh man I just finished the game, and now that I have read the review i have learnt there are items. I only had the feather...

  • pit has fake wings?

  • I really hated that eggplant bastard

  • THATS COOL!!!!1!! I love to make NES game reviews!!!

  • did you mean the passwords just don't work or that they occasionally fail

  • Aaahh, Kid Icarus!

    Best game of the NES!

  • @Mr8bitgamer Its ok but far farrrr from the best nes game!

  • @Mr8bitgamer SMB3 Metroid TLoZ

  • Great review

  • This is ac GREAT NES classic... I never tired of it.

  • One of the greatest NES titles ever. My greatest video game accomplishment is beating it with 1 life

  • the story sounds like a mix of legend of zelda and percy jackson and the olympians...

  • you sounds a lot likes lamp off smashtasum

  • Comment removed

  • get ninja icarus

  • lol whats that

  • download a nes emulator and look up the nes games as roms if you get every game that was made for the nes, it takes 20 mbs..

    Do not get the old system nor the games, the hardware was made so poorly that humidity would rust the connectors and cause your game to reset uncontrollably in the middle of play. plus the controllers are not built for comfort and will give you nintendo thumbs.

    besides, the emulators come with game genie, and you can use what ever pc controller you want.

  • First off, I don't have a PC. Second, I don't like using emulators, partly because they don't work that well all the time and partly because its not the same as having a real NES. Besides, I can buy a NES with a new 72-pin connector on the internet for 50$ with a zapper, 2 controllers, AC adapter, RCA cables, and super mario bros./ duck hunt.

  • Man, I've had this game since it first came out on NES (and still have the original cartridge) and I loved it. I also hated it cause I could never make it really far without codes. Also has some of the best and most memorable music in an any NES game. This makes me want to play it again, but I'm sure I will still suck at it...:)

  • I have this game on the Wii as Virtual Console.

  • I like this game. If you want you can download all the games online by Clicking My Name. I love this site, they have almost every game.

  • Dis is sik bro. My channel shows you how to download wii games.

    It's cool cause there is no modding at all. After you download

    some games please subscribe.

  • THIS GAME IS HARD, !

  • i wanna be the guy music lol

  • Kid icarus i not that a hard game a littel practice and you get far

  • I might buy it, i LOVE light hearted fighting games :)

  • pit looks like cupid.....

  • How do you use the mallet?

  • In the 4rth level select and than b

  • Thanks!

  • So does your username. You might as well call yourself I am troll.

  • I really want Pit to join up with the ranks of Mario, Samus, Link, and Pokemon.

  • Don't forget Kirby

  • Thats right! Kirby too :P

    I also cant wait for the rumored Kirby Wii game. That looks great.

  • Oh a new Kirby game? Too bad I don't have a Wii but my best friend does and he likes Kirby

  • Actually, technically, its nowhere near confirmed but theres been so much talk, demand, leaked footage, and rumors that its generally guarenteed that it will be released within the Wii lifespan.

  • I member this game from back in the day i could not get pass the first level

  • Yup I know, I always hold it sideways, I have about 30 games on virtual console. the 1 button does not shoot like it should.

    ------------------------------­--------------------------

    Now it somehow started working, I had to redownload it three times and restoart it 5 times, It then started working. Yay!

  • I would love to play a Kid Icarus Wii game, whether it's a remake or a sequel.

  • Medusa was not a bad character.

  • I have to disagree about those centurions you free from stone in the dungeons. They are absolutely useless during the boss. They almost always die within the first few seconds.

  • Pit is Smokin!

  • Help! I got the virtual console version and it won't let me me shoot! thats right, 1 won't work! Ive tride everything, it just does not work!!!!!!!!!!

    help!!!

  • I wish they would make another Kid Icarus for the Wii, just as long as they keep Pit young, perhaps use Pit's Brawl look.

    Come on, give our angel some more spotlight!

  • The Brawl look hits Pit around 15 years of age so I guess that could work well. I wonder if it is going to be side-scrolling, a platformer like Super Mario Galaxy, or a complete 3-d platformer.

  • Pit was so cute in SSBB!

  • @AdmiralPit They're gonna make one for the upcoming console, the 3DS ^_^

  • The password system does work on the virtual console, I've used it several times. The cheat codes were taken out, though.

    And I agree, those Eggplant Wizards are annoying as a broken howler monkey record.

  • I hope they make another one, they only made 1 or 2 kid icarus games D:

  • I'm totally downloading this on my virtual console

  • I'm one of the few people that don't like this game.Well, I like it, but I find it to be harder than Contra. If it wasn't as hard, I'd like it. (I love hard games, but this is a little rediculous.)

  • as far as those that think this game is hard...get past level 1 lol. personally, i like to level grind on level 1 until i get my arrow strength up, plus it gets me plenty of hearts so you can quickly get upgrades. Buy that shield item, and the rest of the game is cake. AWESOME game!

  • Plz I need the arrangement music used here... tell me where I can get it T_T plzz

    btw 100 out of 5 for your review ;)

  • in this video called smash kingdom eggplant wizard is a nerd

  • the hearts in this game look like the same ones in super smash bros. is this where they got them from?

  • nah those hearts are from zelda: twilight princess, they're heart containters

  • anybody know if the rumors about a new kid icarus game are true?

  • kid icarus was an awesome game but it was hard as hell!

  • I love this game

    but man Pit looks RIDICULOUS I mean what happened there?

    oh and great review by the way 5/5 keep up the good work man!

  • I really like this game. Where did the recomposed music come from?

  • its really hard game thats the only reason people dont like it otherwise its a really enjoyable game

  • i mean to say "a bit monotonous" cause it change the scenary but still i found annoying the go up up up up up up thingy

  • I don't understand why this game is getting a lot of negative bashing on sites like game stop. and Metroid is also getting too much bashing.

  • how do you get kid icarus on your wii?

  • Heheh...^_^; this game just destroyed me. Fun and very difficult. I haven`t beat it yet, I`m glad I download it. Wish I can be better at the game.

  • fall to his death but he is an angel

  • thats the story of icarus...

  • Yea dude I didn't learn that until I was older, and it's so much easier to beat when you get all the power ups.
